Signs you might be trying to get your frontier AI lab nationalized:
You compare it to nukes… threaten half of white-collar jobs… warn recursive self-improvement could end humanity… then race ahead anyway.
In other words, you want the government to save us from… you.
NETHERLANDS TO TAX 36% ON UNREALIZED GAINS
THEFT ON STATE LEVEL
As a Dutch citizen Sign this petition: https://t.co/8iOzhNa1e8
Imagine you invest €10k
Markets go up 20% (I wish but imagine)
After 20 years:
No tax: €10,000 → ~€383,000
New Box 3 tax: €10,000 → ~€111,000
More than 70% of terminal wealth just disappears like that
And remember:
- This assumes perfect markets
- No drawdowns
- No forced selling to pay tax
By taxing unrealised gains annually while denying symmetric loss treatment,
The new Box 3 tax proposal converts volatile capital unrealized gains into a guaranteed state claim on long-term compounding

This will escalate into suicides.
Convincing a politician. They will you, “Give me a better model or shut up”
Not realizing that giving someone no map is much, much better than giving him a wrong map.
But politicians do not like negative advice (what not to do)
If you truly believe you're a top 5%
1) applied AI engineer
2) backend engineer (golang)
3) engineering leader (+ golang)
And want 7-figure total comp working w/ the biggest names in AI, msg me your resume or github
I'll also pay $10k per successful referral
One of the most important skills I see in successful (and good) people is to constantly reevaluate assumptions. They make predictions based on various inputs, some of them unknown, and reevaluate based on what they got right and wrong. They trust people not because they're always right--no one is--but because if you're constantly seeking the truth it's easy to identify those who are doing the same.
If you were confident that Donald J. Trump was going to lose, maybe you should question what else you "know" about him. Maybe the people who misled you about his electoral chances have misled you about other things.
In the words of Cormac McCarthy, "If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"
