@bendreyfuss @evil_architect This is basically 75% of DC discourse.

Just like everything is also a national security issue or critical to competition with China

The tradeoff of risks for benefits is really something that should be decided democratically.

@TaxFoundation Sorry, but obligatory

@bnzchr Banal in the sense that it is no longer novel, maybe? But it is still hugely controversial and damaging, and lots of campaigning is done to limit gambling in those places

[New Liberals @CNLiberalism]

@nick_field90 You’re right, we should teach young men a sense of complete helplessness by convincing them that their lives are solely dictated by external factors outside of their control

@tszzl This but unironically

@CundallJustin He clearly was, as is trump?

Say what you want about the merits of Catholicism, but they definitely racked up a point on “maybe divine guidance is real” by selecting an American pope who studied mathematics just in time for the dawn of AI

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

This is the funniest thing he’s ever done, the man didn’t even doxx the GOP Senators who impeached him but the Sunshine Protection Act is grounds to go nuclear

President Trump gives out Tom Cotton’s cell number over the daylight savings bill.

Increíble de ver a los “expertos” en solventar la emergencia de vivienda que vive España! En cada televisión! @telediario_tve @A3Noticias @tele5_noticias @noticias_cuatro La realidad es que tenemos a políticos que intentan crear decretos y soluciones cuando no tienen la preparación ni el conocimiento para idear una solución real al problema que vivimos.

España no tiene un problema de falta de decretos. Tiene un problema de falta de viviendas.

Y mientras el Gobierno siga confundiendo anunciar medidas con resolver problemas, seguiremos pagando las consecuencias de su inacción.

Subvencionar la demanda sin aumentar la oferta presiona los precios. Regular cada vez más un mercado sin construir vivienda nueva no elimina la escasez: la administra. Castigar fiscalmente una modalidad de alquiler puede cambiar incentivos, pero tampoco pone un solo ladrillo.

El Gobierno puede aprobar todas las medidas que quiera y venderlas como grandes soluciones. Puede encadenar decretos, anuncios y campañas de propaganda. Pero hay una pregunta que desmonta cualquier discurso:

¿Cuántas viviendas nuevas crea todo esto?

Porque la vivienda no se abarata repartiendo la escasez. Se abarata acabando con ella.

España necesita construir. Mucho.

Más suelo disponible. Licencias en meses, no en años. Más densidad donde sea posible. Seguridad jurídica. Muchísima más vivienda pública y también privada.

Pero el Gobierno no está haciendo lo necesario. Prefiere intervenir sobre las pocas viviendas que existen antes que crear las condiciones para que haya muchas más. Prefiere presentar parches como soluciones y cargar sobre propietarios, promotores y ciudadanos el coste de su fracaso.

Lo demás puede servir para redistribuir, proteger a determinados colectivos o cambiar incentivos. Pero no confundamos eso con solucionar el problema de fondo.

No se arregla una falta de vivienda repartiendo mejor las pocas casas que existen. Se arregla haciendo que existan muchas más.

Menos propaganda. Menos parches. Menos obsesión por intervenir sobre el mismo piso.

Más oferta. Más construcción. Más casas.

idk I think the burden of proof (or, if you like, the burden of persuasion) lies with those who think a concatenation of many matrix multiplications produces consciousness

[Jon Barron @jon_barron]

Kudos to Pope Leo. I am disturbed by how some of my fellow AI researchers keep trying to elevate the moral standing of checkpoints and harnesses. I hope the rest of us on Team Meatbag reject this movement and stay focused on solving real problems and helping actual humans.

[New Liberals @CNLiberalism]

Adding onto this: EAs who (rightfully) recognize that AI safety will take collective political action might want to consider the impact of arguing to the public that AI is conscious, or that their movement is the modern day Christianity.

[New Liberals @CNLiberalism]

I love you guys, but the poor public perception of EA by normies (FTX, Situational Awareness, polyamory, veganism, etc.) is unironically an existential risk factor.

[New Liberals @CNLiberalism]

@ARozenshtein Counterpoint: the Catholic Church has been scarring generations of children telling them that their pets don’t go to heaven. I don’t think they’ll have any trouble denying AI consciousness

[peepeepoopoo @DeepDishEnjoyer]

do you think the catholic church thinks the soul is stored in neurons or

Both can be true.

The Republicans caused a cost of living crisis with dumb policies and socialism is dumb and cringe.

That is why at @CNLiberalism we offer the alternative.

Democrats who believe in capitalism!
