American public is sold on replacing income tax with tariff

Yet income tax is mostly paid by the very rich (either directly or their investments and corporations)

Tariff goes into consumer spending. On which the not wealthy spend bigger % of income on

Great move for US elites

"It's 'cheating' of course in that private organizations can vet who's there, performance manage, select for intelligence, temperament, and all the rest of it. But it's this weird A/B test between how the world could be if managed aggressively and well, and the default state"

[Antonio García Martínez (agm.eth) @antoniogm]

One of the things that happens when you work inside a really high-functioning private enterprise (Facebook back in the day, and Coinbase now) is that you go out into the world and everything seems so inefficient and badly-designed by comparison.

There's this steep dropoff with how things get done in such an organization and the rest of the world, and you feel it every time you have to navigate that larger world. Inside: everyone is hyper-intelligent, motivated, mission-oriented and civil. Outside, well, it's something else.

It's 'cheating' of course in that private organizations can vet who's there, performance manage, select for intelligence, temperament, and all the rest of it. But it's this weird A/B test between how the world could be if managed aggressively and well, and the default state (which usually though not always is semi-chaotic and deeply flawed in innumerable ways).

I think it's partly why these companies always end up a bit insular and tribal: you'd rather deal with your near-perfect bubble than the ugly outside.

Few people who work in such orgs would likely be willing to say this publicly (and I'm probably foolish for doing so), but I don't think it's a unique observation.

@antoniogm Just went through LAX and I can see at least 50 people in uniform and some beautiful K9 doing security check. How many actual threats identified vs the value of just giving jobs to Americans?

The "my way of life should be everyone's way of life" Group

11/ These people regard these decisions not just as their personal lifestyle choices, but rather as a *model for all of society*. They regard themselves as a revolutionary vanguard of advanced ecological consciousness which must aid the less enlightened to reduce their carbon

There's an epidemic of astroturfing in AI right now

I get offered money regularly now to post positively about AI apps and I know people on here who take that money

There's tens of millions of dollars spent on this because they know having someone big tweet positive about your app has a higher return than buying ads these days

But don't you have to disclose if you got paid for a tweet?

Yes, so the smart new workaround is giving influencers stock in your company. Most startups are private (pre-IPO) and you don't need to disclose you own their stock when you tweet about them

I think this stuff disturbs the free debate on here though, you don't know if people actually like a product or not

I will keep tweeting what I really think about things and won't take payment to tweet ever thxxx

There are a small number of corporate entities in England which exist by prescription. I.e. no one knows when they were founded so they're just assumed to have always existed.

The classic is the Corporation of London, which likely predates a unitary Kingdom of England.

It tastes like butter because it is butter. People are freaking out over the Bill Gates thing, but what they don't realize is that it's probably the cleanest, purest butter there is.

Listen to the process - they take carbon dioxide from the air, hydrogen from the water, heat it up, oxidize them and use lethicin as an emulsifier, (lethicin is a mixture of fats that are essential to cells in the humans by the way), then add natural color and flavors.

No chemicals, no preservatives, no hormones, no steroids, no over-processing - air, water and fire. Extracted from the natural elements.

That's probably the healthiest butter ever created too.

I wanna try some. For real. I wanna try some.

AI always agreeing and being agreeable

[Ana Mostarac @anammostarac]

A woman on TikTok has posted a 24-part series about falling in love with her psychiatrist, claiming he manipulated her into it. She makes absurd claims in her videos and heavily consults AI, which always affirms her delusions.

I think the bigger concern is that AI turns people into insufferable self-obsessed narcissists, rather than inducing psychosis in people who weren’t already prone to it.

Hopefully we don't all end up microdosing these types of people/situations.
