Protect health, save hard, buy AI-exposed assets (big tech, chips, energy), take 30yr fixed mortgages (boom inflates the debt away), follow AI forecasters (Aschenbrenner, Zvi, Dwarkesh), stock a rural retreat with months of supplies, start long processes now (citizenship), delay rest 3yrs
Three powerful pieces on the Save Our Bacon Act dropped this weekend: from @NickKristof, @kathleenparker, and @Noahpinion.
This is much needed. The mainstream media has been silent on what may be the greatest legislative threat to animal welfare in a generation.
There's been a grassroots revolt against the Act on X -- led by conservatives. But only one network has covered it: Fox, thanks to @TomiLahren.
This is exactly what the pork industry wants. It knows the Act is deeply unpopular. Its paid-for politicians can only pass it if they're never forced to defend it publicly.
They were hoping you wouldn't notice. They're now hoping you'll stay quiet. Prove them wrong.
@AricToler Yikes - please do some research on Google/Meta. Meta uses it to optimize their content serving algorithms, rapidly create and optimize ads created and served for higher ROAS thus a higher CPM, and increase time spent on their platforms. Destroying traditional non-AI ad stocks.
I resigned from OpenAI. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn’t an easy call. AI has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I’m proud of what we built together.
@aSamEvans Why would anyone be surprised by basic agriculture? No one has suffering free consumption - the point is to reduce it as much as possible. Hunting & eating overpopulated wild animals, avoiding dairy & caged/crated animals, etc. are all much less harmful than the standard diet.
@ramit Incredible a PE guy fixates on becoming poorer during an equities boom while spending below 50% of what a money market would net him. Brother needs to hire a nanny for the week, take his wife to the Four Seasons, and drop his phone in the ocean until he finishes 50 beers.
@signulll liquor license without a fixed address is very difficult, requires something like a catering license renewed repeatedly, having a brick & mortar, or skirting the law
