build a decentralized community so robust that national elections are meaningless

[Drew @onefiftyfivemm]

So, a normal voter

The normal voter is irrational and uninformed

What have you observed here, dumbass

If the partial-social-security-privatization plan had passed 20 years ago, we'd all have 4x gains and be looking forward to retiring in wealth, not worried about eating cat food.

Dems are the party that keeps us poor.

this is shaping up to be the sort of profit-sharing extortion racket usually only pitched by loony Leftists.

"giving back something to the public" should come in the form of useful products in the free marketplace, not neo-Marxist quasi-nationalization and wealth redistribution schemes.

And will Bernie be carrying this bill for Trump in Congress? Sanders already pitched a variant of this idea, after all.

Because screwworms are back in the news (2 cases found in Texas), I've un-paywalled my piece on how we won the war against screwworms through ingenuity and hard work

And then lost it b/c we failed to diligently do the easy thing

This is really funny because a couple of weeks ago I was talking to Claude about Venter's work in transposing the whole genome of one mycobacterium spp to another and it gave me the thing everyone is now getting from Fable

mythos will be bad ON PURPOSE on ai "frontier llm research" tasks, this is very very sad for the research community

also the fact that this is un purpose not visible to the user is crazy

[subho ghosh @SubhoGhosh02]

Paying Anthropic premium so Claude can look you dead in the eye, give you half assed frontier research advice, and pat itself on the back for 'safety' while their labs use the uncensored version built on the data you helped create.

Nothing more constitutional than charging full fare for a deliberately neutered tool. Peak helpfulness. 🫶

And it worked. We defeated the most emotionally compelling tax on the ballot in the region by the largest margin: just shy of 3:1 against.

[Wally Nowinski @Nowooski]

Instead of running the standard CA ballot question playbook and relying on endorsements and validation from The Groups, we asked people to read fine print. Instead of relying on viability events at farmers markets and community events, we knocked voters doors.

[Wally Nowinski @Nowooski]

Media also carried the torch for the Yes campaign. KQED, The Chronicle, and the East Bay Times all ran stories extremely favorable to the Yes campaign. The Oakland Review of Books wrote a sneering essay personally attacking me.

This says something much worse about Florida Hospital than it says something good about Palantir

Just a quick question back here from the cheap seats

Is there anyone prominent on the British right who wants to privatize the NHS
