And then change the tax code so nobody is ever that rich again.

Let's start making a list...

Supremacy is not the kind of thing you can make predictions about or design experiments for.

Authority has no place in science. When we focus on the trustworthiness of scientists rather than the consistency of theory with available evidence, we're doing it wrong.

I used to keep a Windows partition lying around so I could help people with Windows problems. I recently deleted it.

I'll go to the ends of the earth to help people switch to Linux, but I'm done giving the kind of support that allows Microsoft to keep abusing them.

Anything that does those things needs to be opposed, and focusing on the fact that the current boogeyman is datacenters is going to shoot us in the foot a decade down the line when it's not datacenters anymore.

A Musk-owned AI-powering datacenter near Memphis is giving people nearby respiratory disorders. The fact that it's an AI-powering datacenter is not the problem. The problem is how it's being run and what its effects are.

I don't think Annie is gaslighting you, and I'm not trying to either. We just want to move the conversation somewhere more productive.

It would be much better if Trump were accurately remembered, rather than forgotten.

We need a system that doesn't require that consumers support such endeavors to the same degree as ones that benefit those consumers.

Only if you broke the law. There are plenty of ways to make money by making the world worse for most people while not breaking the law.

We figured out how to build an economic engine, now we need to figure out how to build an economic steering wheel.

The determination should have to do with whether it will help or harm others (and whether you're likely to be able to pull it off).

Sure, they get it wrong some times, but my point is that they're predicting the wrong thing. Money shouldn't enter circulation because a bank thinks your plan will be profitable (that's what happens now).

It's the billionaires that are a problem, they think the laws dont apply to them. data centers are just coincidentally what they're buying these days.

Data centers do some important things like modeling climate or hypothetical drug interactions or figuring out which asteroids are likely to hit the earth. When scientists need more compute than they have locally its not a problem that they can rent that compute.

For Science!

Anthropic should've asked. But also this is an odd place to draw the line.

It's like instead of declining sex we're going to complain about how somebody used an expired condom.

If you don't trust Anthropic, maybe don't install their desktop app and their browser extension at the same time?

That's not to say that Jesus or MLK Jr were wrong, just that they happen to be more convenient to an abuser than their alternatives.

It goes way way back.

Most messianic Jews in ancient Rome wanted a warrior Messiah. Rome was like "we found your Messiah, turns out he's a hippie who thinks you should give to Caesar what is Caesar's..."

Its the same as how they now celebrate MLK Jr. to distract from Malcolm X.

Not every institution. Just money. Fix that and we'll be fine.

It needs to come from more than just a bank's decision that a venture will be profitable. It needs to come from the people's decision that the outcome will be desirable.

I laughed

So if we want to reduce their capacity for harm, we should maybe be a little discriminating... Which takes us back to caring if the game is sufficiently woke.

That makes me guilty of "looking for a problem," but I think looking for a problem is a good way to avoid problems.

I appreciate games more when I think about who made it and why: What thoughts and feelings did they have that they wanted to share with the world through this medium? How is that resonating with players?

If a game avoids being woke then it's interfering with that connection.

Art that doesn't care is inferior art.

I can't believe the world is carrying on like "peptides" is a useful category for talking about things that are or are not safe to inject. It's such a broad category, biologically speaking.

Might as well take a stance on whether "people" can be trusted.

Nuclear would be a good choice on the moon.

And maybe near industrial processes where there's a multi day lag between the decision to scale up or down and when it actually happens. You can't just dial back a smelter for a cloudy afternoon and resume tomorrow morning.

As America's pimp, I'm sure he's open to suggestions. That is, supposing you're in a position to do him a favor.

@bennet.senate.gov can we do this too?
