The core nugget of truth from SV hustle culture is that it takes a ton of work to make anything good. Thats still true! Even more true!

Most things are mediocre to bad. AI tools mean more of everything, so it'd naturally lead to flooding the world with mostly mediocre to bad things. AI boosters assert it brings the average up, but when you price in that people rapidly adjust to norms and seek novelty, I don't that's durably true.

So I'm playing with some ideas around project management, maybe I'll make a little thing for myself and maybe if it's good I'll make it for other people. Taking a little evening stroll into name brainstorming, and jfc every single word has an AI slop landing page and they all look the same.

Side note: the NYT will edit out the filler words of every single male politician in a quote, but here they’ve left in every “like” and “kind of” in her vocabulary. Which is a choice, and not one I like.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

The government moving or hiding jailed people to avoid review by courts isn't some loophole in our habeas corpus rights. This government behavior has been considered a violation of the people's habeas corpus rights since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_...

Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to evade the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.[5][6]

I am on the hunt for more things like Money Stuff (@matt-levine.bsky.social) and @volts.wtf (read: a stream of information + insight about a specific area of interest, filtered through a single point of view). Any recommendations? Audio preferred!

Symbols matter. White House isn't a palace. Kennedy Center is for the general public to enjoy. We don't have a triumphal arch in DC because that's imperial. We don't put the president's face on money because it's monarchical. It's about tearing down everything that says we're a democratic republic.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

It's so funny that Mamdani is doing *exactly* what the abundance types are calling for -- competent government in service of constituents' quality of life -- but they can't embrace him because their billionaire donors hate Muslims.

Yudkowsky is rationalist in the sense that his arguments are derived from pure reason, with no real basis in epistemology. When he writes about AI, he is writing about imaginary computers in his head. And these imaginary computers are mostly influenced by sci-fi stories, not actual tech.

Trump inherited the world’s safest asset, the world’s reserve currency, and deepest, best-regulated capital markets — and is destroying all three.

Directionally and spiritually I agree with this, though I will note that in theory the vacations are actually supposed to be time to work, engaging with constituents. Seems like it mostly doesn’t happen, at least not how we’d all expect.

It’s insane that people in Congress are paid over $174K a year in taxpayer dollars whilst making millions of dollars from insider trading whilst getting 18 vacations a year as Americans all over the country struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries.

I'm honestly more intrigued by the second story...uh...sun room? Is that for the trad wife to do yoga without leaving the home?
