The left is on a project to enforce equality, despite biology and markets.

The goal of equality gives claim to the moral high ground, but contradicting biology and markets requires censorship and violence, which makes the whole project immoral.

Aluminium was once more valuable than gold.
Diamonds are next: lab-grown stones will eventually cost little more than Swarovski crystals.
One by one, everything becomes aluminium.

The Traditional Management Company Operating Model Is Reaching Its Limit

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Anthropic maintains that it is entitled to train for free on all the world’s output, even if the author objects. But if a competitor trains on Anthropic’s output after paying for it, that is IP theft. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

Drones vs interceptors is not an even matchup - it’s like guns vs armored vests.

The attacker gets surprise, gravity, & force concentration.

Jamming and EMPs can’t stop hardened autonomous bullets

The logic of MAD brought to individuals.

If you can see it, you can kill it.

Every “save the world” scheme starts by handing the money and power to the schemers first.

If there were backdoors and biases hidden in open-weight models, you could count on closed-weight labs to find and reveal them.

I am pleased to announce that a memorandum of understanding has been signed between the Republic of Kazakhstan and Network School.
Our new campus will become a haven for global techno-optimism, with expedited visas, streamlined redomiciliation, and active recruitment of talent.

OH: “i’ve switched to Kimi from claude for a bunch of work. it’s just so much more fun because it just does the thing instead of lecturing you”

Woke lobotomized models are the enemy of American competitiveness.

Regulatory capture by any other name tastes just as sour…

You won’t get rich just working hard, but if you don’t work hard, you won’t get rich.

Claude is an example of how you can like a product but dislike the company at the same time.

intelligence is highly correlated with precision in speech

@bryan_johnson @bryan_johnson , even with H. pylori ruled out, the gut microbiome plays a significant role in immune regulation and gut inflammation. Might be worth adding to the variables you’re tracking. Ed Yong’s I Contain Multitudes is an excellent book on this.

No one knows yet what the next form factor for computing will be, and yet there will be a next form factor, and it will seem obvious in retrospect.

In the future, a trillion times a trillion dollars will be spent on making antimatter to travel to other star systems

Influencers are human prompters with distribution

[Pavel Durov @durov]

Banning social media for teenagers only puts them in greater danger.

Teens are forced to switch to VPNs — and unlock far worse illegal content.

We’ve seen this before. When the Russian government banned Telegram, 95% of Russian teenagers kept using it. They just moved to VPNs.

This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.
