*It is with infinite caution that any man ought to venture upon pulling down an edifice which has answered in any tolerable degree for ages the common purposes of society.*
—Edmund Burke, the Father of Modern Conservatism, _Reflections on the Revolution in France_
I never thought I'd see "conservatives" defending the Dollar fiat system just to spite a Republican politician they despise, but here we are.
These people don't actually believe anything. "Free markets," "Capitalism," "Limited Government" it's all just a giant LARP.
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.
We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.

This is why I’m an accelerationist.
OpenAI just released 722 mathematical manuscripts across 372 families, largely produced by an unreleased AI model tackling open research problems.
Think about what that trajectory means.
Today it’s mathematics. Tomorrow it’s drug discovery, aging, materials science, fusion, physics and engineering.
The most important property of advanced AI isn’t that it can write emails or generate videos. It’s that it can potentially compress years of human scientific work into hours.
Slowing AI down isn’t automatically the cautious position. There is a cost to not accelerating too: discoveries delayed, diseases untreated and technologies that arrive years later than they could have.
We should manage the risks. But we should be racing toward systems capable of accelerating science itself.
Humanity has spent centuries wishing we had more Einsteins, von Neumanns and Curies. We may be building millions of them.

@JamesEisen1891 Washington was Federalist coded, to the point that Madison broke with him. Cromwell was just a Puritan who lived way before 1792, and Frederick the Great and Napoleon were both opportunistic imperialists who valued order.
Since we gutted USAID, the left hasn’t won a single presidential election in Latin America.
Billions in taxpayer cash were funding NGOs, “democracy” programs, and activist networks that conveniently always backed the same side. They called it aid but it was election interference.
Thank you @elonmusk for dragging this into the light. The grift is over.
I once had a French socialist argue with me that his country was falling behind the US economically because of “decades of austerity.”
Can anyone spot the austerity on this chart?
France has been running luxury boomer communism for something like 40+ years and yet people think the country is ruled by Scrooge McDuck.
