Its important to raise awareness of the forms of modern slavery [1] and while comparing employee-surveillance software to slavery may seem hyperbolic, we who build these tools are culpable to their impact on the world and what they might le

This idea that fact checking is preferable or possible or even likely to happen seems wrong. The answer isn't to fix the disease that is Social Media but to inoculate ourselves from it entirely. Its either that or yield to the idea tha

This is poignant in the age of LLMs. What cultural richness are we going to lose as a result? What societal cohesion are we going to lose? What wealth inequality are we going to create?

$PROBLEM_2 being worse than $PROBLEM_1 does not mean $PROBLEM_1 is over regulated. Nuclear Waste handling and disposal is a significant regulatory issue and includes many REACTIVE measures that have been hard-learned over the past century a

I’m not worried we have entire federal agencies to regulate financial crime and nuclear operations don’t we?

I think a better analogy would be high value data in high espionage environments like GPU trade secrets at TSMC or nuclear secrets, not military codes, but maybe knowledge about the production process. Individual tax payer data is well abov

As someone who currently studies public policy I find the centrist declaration interesting because I used to consider myself a centrist until I started reading more on the actual positions of many politicians. In my limited view Obama was v

It’s a false narrative that Obama was soft on immigration and even earned the nickname “deporter in chief”. In some ways he was even harder than Bush during the post 9/11 response. www.migrationpolicy.org/article/obama-record

I read GP to say we need to be skeptical of all LLM providers which I think is a fair point. Saying we need to be skeptical about OpenAI (haha Open) does not mean we support Musk.

Seriously the number of people willing to burn down the whole government over grievances that often haven’t even impacted them is incredibly scary. You do not throw out the baby with the bath water.

Reasonable question but I think people are just burnt out by the Silicon Valley pricing model that has proliferated everywhere. * Most consumers now swallow a live service model and associated costs that they don’t want * Most consumers now

Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. This isn’t an unprofitable codebase at some VC funded atrocity where consequences don’t exist. This is the real world where societal structures save hundreds of millions every year. The amount o

It’s hard not to frame these announcements in the context of broader competition like Deepseek or Musks bid to buy OpenAI. The rate of progress and the rate of announcement and speculation are not the same I think and we should expect all k

Why would any country align with US vision for AI policies after how we’ve treated allies over the last two weeks? Why would any country yield given the hard line negotiating stance the US is now taking? And the flip flopping and unclear me

The rational take is to understand it within the context of recent expansionist rhetoric which includes the annexation of Canada, strong-arm purchase of Greenland, and conquest of Gaza and Panama. You don't have to go that far back in

Old people who don't watch their assets, very rich people who don't watch their assets. Maybe we should build a protection mechanism for it - maybe call it the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau?

You’re being gaslit. Democrats did not subvert the checks and balances of our system - they faced opposition in all their initiatives in the judiciary, house, and senate. What Musk is doing now amongst a silent government is unprecedented.
