This @gwern post is excellent and something labs and other pro-AI people should be focusing on. AI can be a tremendous aid to helping people achieve important goals for themselves, and tools like this could have a huge impact personally and socially https://t.co/z8kZYFEp1U

OpenBallot is now live for the June 2nd primary! Primaries get less attention than general elections, but in CA they're often the election that matters most. OpenBallot pulls together 65+ voter guides so you can quickly and easily vote your values. https://t.co/in0ODDOoNB

Update: the House may vote on the farm bill tomorrow.

This is a critical time. @RepLuna is leading a last minute fight to strike the SOB Act from the farm bill.

Call your reps. We need a vote to strike SOB. If leadership won't allow that, we need to kill the farm bill.

@KelseyTuoc @Arrogance_0024 You'd think as a "geoeconomist" he'd be able to see beyond 1st order costs and benefits. We have a highly effective, all-volunteer military. Maintaining that, which would be much harder to do if we just left people to be captured or die, is worth a lot more than these airplanes.

@EpsilonTheory This is how populism manifests in governance. They’re not gonna stop until the conditions driving the populism change.

10 years ago today, @craigbarowsky and I left our day jobs to focus on a little side project we called @DataKind. Little did we know that was the beginning of a grand adventure in trying to use data and AI for the greater good 1/x

@vesnos @Noahpinion It’s depressing coming back to the bay after spending time in KTown in LA but the H-mart is a step in the right direction and for some reason the weird ghost kitchen on Bryant has a growing number of pretty decent Korean offerings which is also great to see.

@michael_nielsen The SEP is always a great for a high level map of the conceptual terrain and has lots of links to other articles on sub areas, and primary sources, including from the 20th century https://t.co/65OMyvTcWK

@chrisalbon Maybe part of it is just frustration at the difference between what it could be and what it is. It could be a west coast Barcelona, but instead it's a middle-sized, parochial, extremely expensive, homogeneous, mostly upper middle class quasi-suburb

@lydia_kou Ah yes, remind people that by buying a structure and a plot of land they are not, in fact, buying every other structure and plot of land around them and that they don’t have say over what other people reasonably do with their own property.
