@CliffordAsness Great piece that helped me a lot. Do you believe this sentence is true?

@jbarro Move home to Boston anytime! Things are great.

@gbrew24 They also shipped all the HEU out of the country in the JCPOA

I thought the $300B fund was Iranian propaganda.

@woke8yearold @deredleritt3r Fine. But they are really stupid and it’s a big problem. Bessent can only carry so much weight for an admin full of very mediocre people.

[Chris Leveroni @ChrisLeveroni]

This is exactly right.

Anthropic's challenge is that it is a liberal organization (in the broad, good sense) dealing with an illiberal administration. A central feature of liberalism is its belief in the importance of reason in politics. And illiberalism (left or right) is often characterized by a suspicion of reason in politics. Anthropic keeps reasoning with an administration that cares more about domination than reason. And that just makes the administration madder and madder. They don't want an argument; they want submission. Dario won't flatter them, and so he is a target. That's why I defend him and am kind of appalled by some of his critics. He's a hero because he's one of the only people in the country with power who is telling the Trump people no.

@WillManidis What’s the appropriate posture here? It’s kind of like Thiel’s point that it says something about American culture that so many successful founders have ASD. Isn’t this axiomatic? Someone having a huge effect is almost necessarily doing unusual things.

@woke8yearold Somewhere in Vietnam. Ninh Binh maybe.

[DRYDEN @drydenwtbrown]

The thesis is that people are going to use illegal AI, after the US government begins treating it like a military-grade weapon?

Crypto people are completely insane.

If you want aligned intelligence you need political power.

@__paleologo How about a third group that thoroughly unimpressed with his companies? One hears much less about Bezos’s drive and ingenuity despite Amazon being a much more impressive and world-changing accomplishment

[Josh Barro @jbarro]

It’s weird how many high-IQ liberals remain committed to the idea that IQ is fake even as liberals solidify their position as the high-IQ political coalition

@WillManidis Just be sure to preserve the tweet where you say you won’t fund anything designed to help us escape a final judgment

We can build things quickly with the right incentives and political will.

@realBurhanAzeem Fair enough. And, of course, I agree we should grow as much and as quickly as we can. My general objection is that at time when MA has so much to recommend it—particularly compared to other blue states—we should not be dooming.

@literaryeric This stuff is really just such a joke every time. Pick a random public high school in Massachusetts and there will be white kids going to top schools. Let alone actual elite private schools, very obvious that this guy’s kid does not actually go to one.
