@AndrewCurran_ More than 2 billion people still lack access to clean drinking water, despite us having the technology to solve that problem for decades. If we do reach a world of transformative AI, net worth may ultimately determine who gets to benefit from it
And the absolute dumbest fucking part of this entire ordeal.
The effective tariff rate we paid the rest of the world was 2% in January 2025.
It will be 6% by tomorrow.
We took a completely imaginary problem (that countries were unfairly tariffing us), and turned it into an actual problem.
Elect clowns, get a circus.

@GaiusMH@JoshEakle I am wealthier than my gardener but I have a trade deficit with him. Should I cut my own grass or maybe sell him lemonade when he’s here to try and break even?
@austincampbell@nic_carter Manufacturing was actually coming back. The previous administration wasn’t perfect but their industrial policy was working. A global trade war is not the way
@TheStalwart 2% lower interest on the 7 trillion that needs to be rolled over this year saves $140B in annual spend. Hard to see how this justifies destroying 10 trillion in value (so far), likely stagflation & recession, and trade wars with countries who until recently were strategic allies
@Santiag78758327@SpencerHakimian 2% lower interest on the 7 trillion that needs to be rolled over this year saves ~$140B in annual spend. Does that justify destroying 10 trillion in market value (so far), likely stagflation and recession, and trade wars with countries who until recently were strategic allies?
@karpathy Feels like MCP servers (for Supabase, Stripe etc) should help address this when using a good AI-powered IDE like Cursor. I’m still ramping up on MCP so not yet sure how well this works
@ArthurMacwaters@shaunmmaguire The stock market is already at all time highs. So is energy production and employment. Domestic manufacturing highest in decades, coupled with good wage growth. Inflation back down to the Fed’s target. Trump deserves zero credit for any of this
The U.S. economy is doing amazingly well, with a great job market, low inflation, good wage growth, solid productivity growth, and rising wealth.
We should take a moment to appreciate that.

Americans are significantly richer now than they were back in 2019, after accounting for inflation.
And the US economy is pulling away from other developed countries.
Virtually nobody is pricing in what's coming in AI.
I wrote an essay series on the AGI strategic picture: from the trendlines in deep learning and counting the OOMs, to the international situation and The Project.
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: The Decade Ahead
“After my father and I finished raping her, my father killed her.” 👇
Shame on you Ireland 🇮🇪, Spain 🇪🇸, and Norway 🇳🇴, for supporting these rabid animals.
@cherylbenson@EnglerYves@social_brains Except that nearly 70% of Jews in Israel actually aren’t white. You would notice that if you’ve actually ever spent time there
@EnglerYves@social_brains That’s kind of racist isn’t it? The irony is that the ethnic cleansing you allegedly care about actually did happen, in the Muslim countries you are supporting.
btw are you enjoying living in a Western democracy where you can protest and speak freely? Feels good right?
@propandco@RichardHanania Multiple testimonies and eye witness accounts confirm there was indeed rape. Hamas terrorists literally broadcasted some of it on Telegram. It’s not surprising to anyone familiar with these Jihadists #HamasisISIS
“He didn’t pick up his pants. He shot her while inside her.”
“There was humiliation through rape on the morning of October 7.”
A harrowing story about the sexual violence faced by women in Israel at the hands of Hamas terrorists.
