Don't settle for the default, but shape the future. Update fast and build. Agency under uncertainty. The future is not someone else's job. Reality ≠convenience

@julien_c ?

@Noahpinion there was just a survey which showed what leftists were defined as both by themselves and outsiders: anti-capitalism was #1 by far, so your 2nd point is way off. Anti-Israel is small fraction of 2020s and mostly due to Israel's Oct-7 response

GLM calls you out on the 3rd one:

@captgouda24 not necessarily, narrow AI might be enough for LEV, though ideally we hit AGI 2032-2040 since alignment will be further along while sooner AGI increases P(doom)

@woke8yearold lots of people probably overestimate how weird the world will be in 2-5 years but underestimate how weird it'll be in 10 years, let alone 20

@miketermaat_ lies. countries with highest QoL are socialist. tax-to-GDP ratios there around double the US ratio

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@colorblindk1d lol. what are you talking about? plenty of fraudulent elections all over the world. election fraud in US elections is miniscule and most of the evidence GOP comes up with is debunked in court

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@halsinger Anthropic settled for $1.5B with publishers

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@ViktorBunin danger to the people who don't want to pay higher taxes. it's mostly elites giving $ to fight socialists and control the parties

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@sigmahamster2 theres plenty of pro rent control/regulation economists including the benefits and signees shown in this letter: https://t.co/C4RYqcarTv

@MattGlassman312 cutting defense spending polls way better than the third rail of cutting social security

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@actsmaniac stock gains are way larger than real estate gains

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@DavidVorick there's plenty of restrictions on dangerous tech and AI is dangerous

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@mattyglesias they only care about the debt when it threatens elites due to higher taxes, so under Dem administrations. GOP is getting wealthy with Trump and Trump isn't raising their taxes so they ignore it. In reality, the debt isn't that big a deal at current levels.

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@RockChartrand politically connected are currently making billions in this RW administration. plenty of more socialist countries than the US with way lower corruption scores.

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@perrymetzger the US only has a 2-party effective system as the GOP keeps blocking RCV, so DSA is basically forced to run on Dem tickets

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@realwillreil idiots. its not fear-mongering. openAI and GDM and most frontier labs also don't do open source and openAI specifically didn't do it due it being dangerous

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@SaladBarFan rental pricing algorithms, meat/protein information sharing, PBMs/insulin, beef/eggs probes

Matt Stoller has exposed many of this

@AndyMasley Kerala did pretty well with communist rule. Also the comments were from a deleted and resurfaced burner account from years ago while many politicians have way worse and many Dems would want plenty of other groups kicked out of the party such as AIPAC-funded ones

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@BrentAWilliams2 works well in Vienna which ranks #2 on Global Living Index. Mamdani already has power but it's more about making people's lives better to show them what's possible. Mamdani gives people hope.

[LushNature @LushNature1]

@woke8yearold likely more that Trump is holding back frontier labs with his bans and anti-immigrant stances
