We can only build the future by standing together, including everyone. We don’t think about it often, but everything is connected, and we need to restore our connections to a healthy state. Even the harsh judgment I hold in my heart against my brother or my sister, the open wound

@DylanGyauchL The biggest coup of the law and economics movement was inviting a bunch of judges to the first two weeks of Econ 101 and then saying “this is 100% of what you need to know about economics, nothing else matters really”

The AI industry is making the rich richer while raising costs for everyone else. By 2030, AI processing will cost $6.7 trillion. Dems could win a major economic victory by standing up to Big Tech. From @DylanGyauchL and @MaxMoranHi @revolvingdoorDC: https://t.co/CugLduE2vH

Always good to partner with @DylanGyauchL. This is a piece about why the consumer AI industry is absolutely moronic nonsense that any decent person, and certainly any ambitious politician, should oppose.

[Revolving Door Project @revolvingdoorDC]

Democrats must oppose the AI industry.

Our @DylanGyauchL and @MaxMoranHi lay out the case this morning in a piece for @TheProspect.

"As currently constructed, AI is an oligarchy-enriching, worker-immiserating, energy-depleting, brain-rotting economic bubble in waiting." 1/4

[Dylan Gyauch-Lewis @DylanGyauchL]

My latest w/ @MaxMoranHi is out in @TheProspect today! It's about why Democrats need to vigorously oppose the AI industry.

Hope folks find it interesting! (Link below)

The Lindsay Ellis video let me fully feel some things I've been forcing myself to suppress just to get through the day.

She covers the hardest possible ground with compassion, care, deep research, and humor where appropriate.

Do yourself a favor.

Just to be clear, there's a 19 year old college dropout moron named "Big Balls" who is singularly responsible for: literal millions of deaths, the military occupation of Washington D.C., and potentially every single person in the country having their identity stolen

NEW from our senior fellow @MaxMoranHi w/ @jeffhauser, @DylanGyauchL: The tech wonder boys have always been terrible. Democrats shouldn't try to bring them back into the fold

Peter Conti-Brown, a scholar of the Fed’s history at the University of Pennsylvania, noted that the mortgage transactions preceded Lisa Cook's appointment to the Fed, and were in the public record when she was vetted and confirmed by the Senate.
"These officials have been vetted by our President and our Senate, that means that all things that they had done during their times as a private citizen were already vetted,” Conti-Brown said.
“So the idea that you can then reach back, turn the clock backward and say, you know, all these things that have happened before now constitute fireable offenses from your official position is to me incongruous with the entire concept of 'for cause' removal.”
