adjacent-bait: shit on one cause area by pointing out another, then claim you're above 'what debate?'

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

Heard Ezra Klein talking to Alex Bores about AI and whether it will put everyone out of a job and what we need to do about it.

About 750 million people on earth don't have electricity.

Can we at least get everyone electricity before we talk about the "end of work"?

It seems like many intellectuals have completely lost sight of trying to help real life people who are a long way from any kind of "post-scarcity" existence.

Just get everyone in Africa clean water and working light bulbs as a first step and then maybe we can worry about technology creating *too much* prosperity.

We've lost the plot.

If Ryan applied all his intelligence to storing high-fat, high-calorie food stores for the winter, the outcome would be beyond nuts

"treat others the way you want to be treated" was never supposed to be taken literally. Its a guideline for children to start understanding how to share and be kind, not for adults to use as ammo against someone they never verbalised an unmet need to as a way to make it look 1/?

@tracewoodgrains Speaking with a selfish love of your writing and projection of my own self-deception:

I notice you frame yourself primarily in terms of what you're doing for readers.

That is underselling the personal stakes.

@DeadInformation @Screaming_Lamb4 Even if you only vaguely know what quartz is, it's still a useful/value add word to use while talking about the earth.

Similarly, even if people only vaguely know the proper definitions for words from attachment theories, it's a useful tool when talking to someone.

Girlfriends are a negative productivity shock. Instead of vibe-coding an agent to write my blog for me, I'm watching Avatar the Last Airbender and posting Instagram selfies. Humanity is cooked

As someone who usually disagrees with @DarioAmodei, I gotta give him *major* props for this one.

“If you believe you have the right to force me—use your guns openly. I will not help you to disguise the nature of your action." This is what Hank Rearden, the steel magnate from Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, tells the government after disobeying its command to run his business in a manner contrary to his conscience.

Amodei channeled Rearden’s spirit in a letter refusing to remove safeguards from Claude, as requested by the War Department.
