@QinJey @StatisticUrban @Silky1776 I think the Congo was not worth enough at the time to have made even someone who owned 100% of it a trillionaire. Ming dynasty may have been closer, although the past was a lot poorer. Power is something else entirely.

I feel like we all got the same treatment from Anthropic that the DoW got in Feb. I viscerally understand the DoW reaction now.

@yanda Those of us familiar with EA behind the moral preening knew all along. Tragic that Hegseth and Trump negatively polarize people against them

There is an emperor's new clothes problem with one of the worlds leading economists and almost nobody wants to speak frankly about it because he sits at the height of academic power and prestige, but many admit it behind closed doors.

@MrWizzleOnline @kunley_drukpa The depth of coomerbrain among the spawn of Bharat is almost too great to fathom

@upstatefederlst 1. Is it actually more common among white kids of those sorts of moms?

2. Obviously because those moms are the most scrupulous with following these recommendations

[Flapling @Flapling1]

@atlanticesque Even higher among Republican potential voters, unless it’s a sailboat

@TheMindScourge This discourse or just Piketty specifically? It’s no surprise that Piketty wants to stay in his glory days forever.

@xwitterdivebar @Empty_America Unless you count armies living off the land, which could very easily send a farming family into destitution and starvation

@yacineMTB Skill issue. Get better at prompting.

@SerkisyanArmen @tupanoreturns The rest of the world would very much appreciate Indians having that attitude. Pakistan has a higher TFR, but the population disparity is so large that it will be many decades before the populations approach parity.

@SteadtlerA58435 @tupanoreturns Brazil didn’t build those because they’re under the aegis of the USA, but they do have Embraer, which is among the only non-Boeing or Airbus airplane manufacturers that competes successfully in the world market in the large-scale commercial space. That’s pretty impressive

@Cincinnati_Son @JacobAShell Crystal Palace was moved but operated for almost a century before burning down in the 1930s.

I think by the time Penn Station was demolished in the early 1960s, it was clear no more of those were being built, which is why the historical preservation movement started then.

I'll admit the downside risk from this seems much smaller than for most other AI regs proposed.

@ww_dasilva British didn’t get Marshall Plan subsidies and had a destroyed economy. It looks like France also had rationing for a time, but they got Marshall Plan aid and therefore recovered a little sooner. Also France was not governed by socialists.

@nic_carter @antirez Just go use GPT-5.5

@FiredUpCoug To be fair, the US government had to bail out freight rail too (partly because they had legacy passenger/mail services). But freight rail could return to profitability, unlike passenger rail, because intermodal transport made its efficiency outweigh its lack of flexible routing

@pegobry_en 25. And Allah knoweth best the true remaining range. Amen.

[Flapling @Flapling1]

@pegobry_en 20. Then they laughed, and he laughed also,
21. For the deed was done and the down payment had cleared.
22. Therefore let him charge in peace,
23. And boast not excessively of acceleration,
24. For all batteries return unto degradation in the fullness of time.
