Trump administration’s AI approach: stop US companies from releasing models because they’re too dangerous, but export chips to China allowing them to catch up, and don’t restrict the use of Chinese models.

About as well thought out as their tariffs policy and war with Iran.

China is pumping out cheap EVs by the millions and BMW is spending money on pretending that hydrogen is viable.

Bad news:

Movies and TV shows will henceforth be terrible.

Expect short-scenes, bright colours, frequent repeats of the plot, with the presumption of distraction/ idiocy.

@grub3702 @PaulNiklas8 It's the Australian way of wallowing in victomhood.

@grub3702 @PaulNiklas8 Australians complaining about tall poppy syndrome are just salty about life. It's so not a thing lol.

If someone in Australia said "Hi my name's Chadford I'll be your server this evening can I start you folks off with the soda menu?" we wouldn't know what to do.

@robbiehendricks Probably all the good ones worth hiring are pretty ambitious, and I'm not sure how appealing Raytheon is if you wanna have an impact on the world.

Valve actually adressed the question perfectly over a decade ago

Property taxes should, in theory, make it so buying a home is more affordable and young people will have increased access to home ownership.

Let's look through the literature to see what really happens🧵

Firstly, higher property taxes get older people to move.

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

Yes I’m against the repealing the property tax thing. So obvious, goes without saying.

Both parties are centered around welfare for the elderly. Democrats call them “entitlements” and Republicans “tax cuts.”

It’s all the gerontocracy. https://t.co/Irf0Usx3Jb

I'm a full standard deviation stupider when someone is explaining a thing to me, versus when I'm just trying to figure it out myself.

Being on policy really matters.
