@Nick_Davidov Somehow the United States managed its first 240 years or so without Indians, Persians and Chinese flooding the country. It we even managed to become the greatest world superpower in history without them. I think we can manage.

@jakozloski If that many people volunteer it then you should definitely ask it. Likely many more would say yes if available.

@atlanticesque True had the liberals been in control and they made it into an apology tour while praising all the minorities who didn't contribute to the country it would have gotten more interest in the complaining fashion. This is better. Have family picnics and leave it at that.

@unusual_whales Stupid question. Finals tickets are always expensive and hard to get, especially on Mew York.

What's mind blowing is the theory that all the last minute voters rallies around the person who was third and totally lifeless.

Blowout numbers for Nithya Raman in the latest L.A. County update, adding 59,930 votes that break 38.6% Raman, 34.1% Bass, and 17.9% Pratt and shaving a massive 12,404 off his lead for second. She now trails by just 20,672 votes.

@HunterBiden Just go to an island resort and knock out one of those multimillion dollar paintings every month. Perfect life.

@Elex_Michaelson @TcheeseRa @PeterHamby I'm sure they're counting ballots, but how did the ballots get there?

@signulll They is why they want to build so many data centers. The money is huge.

@BowTiedRanger Are they being paid off? I can only think the only reason parents act like this is because someone offers them a couple million if they regurgitate the approved narrative.

Thought experiment: If you take control of AI does that even count as "Sieze the means of production?" What even is production in this context?

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

While I’m no fan of socialism or arbitrary confiscations of wealth, I can see why Bernie Sanders’ proposal (for the government to take a 50% stake in AI companies) resonates, including with many on the right.

The CEOs of the leading AI labs have told us repeatedly that they will cause massive job loss. This is not a story that I believe, nor does the data bear it out, but this is what they have told us. Similarly, they have hyped the risks of AI without putting an equal or greater emphasis on the benefits or readily available mitigations.

Conservatives have another fear. The employees of the leading labs claim to be philanthropic, but what we’ve seen is massive enrichment of NGOs advancing an agenda at odds with traditional values, fueling a revolution against our cities and communities. Soros-maxxing is not charity in our book.

Anthropic and OpenAI have established themselves as Public Benefit Corporations. What could be more in the public benefit than using half the wealth generated by these companies (which trained for free on the collective knowledge of humanity) to pay down the national debt? There is no ideological bias in that philanthropy.

Dario and Sam have begun to walk back their claims of massive job loss, but the damage to public trust is done, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. I could almost support the Sanders proposal as a stupidity tax.

There’s just one problem. Nationalization of AI will accelerate the corporate-government fusion we’re already sliding toward. Conservatives rightly fear a Central Bank Digital Currency. They ought to be even more concerned about Central Government AI — a system with even more totalistic power over information, decision-making, and human behavior.

We saw how social media was weaponized to censor conservatives (including President Trump) in the last Democrat administration. The definition of “trust & safety” expanded to mean protecting the public from supposed psychological harms, micro-aggressions, and disinformation (you know, like hearing conservative ideas or true facts about Covid).

That “safety” agenda as applied to AI will be vastly more powerful and Orwellian. AI won’t just moderate posts; it will curate reality — with the ability to rewrite history, enforce ideological conformity, influence policy at scale, mass surveil Americans, and condition the benefits of the many systems it controls on approved behavior.

America won’t win the AI race if we beat China but end up with a CCP-style social credit system in the U.S. — and that is the danger as the government becomes more deeply involved in AI development and assumes direct ownership and control.

Conservatives are right to fear where this is all headed but ought to think more carefully about how regulations they are flirting with now (that are widely celebrated among those with a long history of lust for Big Government) will be used against them the next time a Democrat administration is in power.

@GovBraun Dual use is key. Make sure the stadium can double as a memorial for war veterans. Call it Soldier Field.

@CollinRugg If the standard complement is 50k people with a max of 80k, of that crew is 20k and tourists are 10k, who are the other 20-50k people? Permanent residents?

Gamma men are the useful idiots for the subversive left in the culture war. They can't see what's right in front of them until it's far too late. David Jaffe is an easy example.

[Grummz @Grummz]

I don't think David Jaffe understood the culture war until the day it happened to HIS game.

We were never against women in games. We were against flipping entire IPs to force women into major franchises, and making everything fem coded in what were male focused IPs.

For years he called us chuds and incels for pushing against the destruction of our beloved games.

Now it's happening to his own creation and maybe, just maybe, he finally sees it.

@jstewartIndy Is the problem with the prosecutor or the judges? A new prosecutor can't fix bad judges.

@astrodanish @Pat_Stedman I agree, but I'm not sure "Iconoclastic cult leader" counts as a soft skill.

@nikitabier @alphafox I have been wanting this for years. Make sure to include people who just repeat or slightly tweak viral posts. I've seen 8 posts about people talking about waiting in line at the pharmacy.
