@politico It’s called K shaped, perhaps ya heard. “Wealth Inequality Has Grown During the Trump Admin. The wealthiest 0.1 percent of households have gained more than 8,000 times as much wealth per household as the bottom 50 percent since the end of 2024.” Center for American Progress.
@gtconway3d I don’t care for his childish “trolling”…but it would be pretty funny if the next president put a collage of Trump sleeping in meetings in Trump’s slot on his “walk of fame” where he touts the “auto-pen.”
@mtgreenee Libertarians aren’t bad…but really the WHOLE PARTY SYSTEM needs to burn to the ground. It is the root of all evil in politics here it seems now.
Yes, this isn’t likely to materialize the way it’s being promoted, even if it does, it’s not until 2030! It’s just midterm manipulation. Link to article in the comments.
@IngrahamAngle@VDHanson This economy isn't working for everyday people: "The wealthiest 0.1 percent of households have gained more than 8,000 times as much wealth per household as the bottom 50 percent since the end of 2024." And the jobs numbers are bogus, which we all know.
@CBSNews To begin maybe in 2030…by a company that got Sued by Minnesota for being unreliable. You are now supporting election interference with this regime approved “fake news” 😂.
AI’s limiting factor is energy- Trump is restricting free enterprise efforts in WIND & SOLAR and expansion of these efforts -vs- China is “adding an average of 1.19GW, or roughly 1,190MW, of combined wind and solar power capacity every single day.”
We are in a race with China to see who will develop AI first and who will dominate AI, and there's going to be a winner.
It will either be America or China. And that question is the single most important economic question facing America today. Whoever wins, we will have trillions of dollars of new investment. We will have millions of new jobs. But even more importantly, the values of the country that wins will suffuse AI.
So if China wins, AI will be focused on espionage and propaganda and control and surveillance because that's the Chinese Communist Party. It will be their values. They will use AI to try to control you.
If America wins, I want American values to be reflected in AI. I want free speech and individualism and free enterprise and privacy to be reflected in AI, not control and power, and so that is very much at stake.
Now you asked about effective altruism. There is a second interrelated movement that is going on.
These folks from effective altruism, who are all hardcore leftists, and they want to use AI to push their leftist ideology.
Understand, part of what we're seeing is a money grab, where there's an old concept in economics called rent seeking, which is big companies typically go to government and say, “Give me a benefit, entrench me,” and we're seeing the giant AI companies going to government saying, “Hey, why don't you put us in charge of government and let's set the rules so no one can compete with us?”
That's an incredibly foolish idea. It's a shameless idea, and when Anthropic is saying put these left wing activists in charge of AI, empower them, you better believe that they're going to use that to promote their ideology to silence dissent, and it's why the Democrats are in bed with them.
Also, this is all about government power over you, and I think you ought to be deeply concerned about anyone trying to seize power over you.
