Also why are people afraid of folks leaving? It’s so pretty here we can backfill

You get it

Thank you!

Opinion: You couldn’t pay me to leave Washington state, and I’d pay more to stay My view on Washington’s proposed tax on very high incomes is simple: if I’ve found myself in the position of making that much in a year, I can afford to contribute a little more to the place that help...

The people will leave the state argument undervalues our home and community.

This is an incredibly nuanced and illustrative view into recent events and matches my understanding and ongoing thinking about these issues

I’ve started 10 companies and 0 times have I ever thought, “where is the lowest tax impact for me as a founder” - it’s about community and access to nature to keep me sane

Smaller founders who don’t want to live in the state aren’t going to live in the state! It’s a beautiful state and community - happy to make it even better with more equitable revenue collection and allocation.

It’s crazy we don’t have a state income tax. I still remember doing my state taxes in GA, a red state, and it was no sweat.

If folks want to leave so they can afford more horse ranches or private islands elsewhere that’s fine with us locals. I’ll happily rent your sailboat on the weekends.

I’m for the WA state tax proposals. As a startup founder and investor who loves the local culture and natural beauty, a thriving community will only make me love living here more. Happy to pay my share, my lifestyle lets me afford it. I wish we’d go further for housing/infra too

Grok turns off image generator for most users after outcry over sexualised AI imagery Editing function to be limited to paying subscribers after X threatened with fines and regulatory action

You don't get to turn your chatbot into a tool of mass sexualized harassment and then two weeks later say the problem is fixed because the abusers have to pay for the privilege.

Too late, IMO. I’m so over it.

A must listen. The moral panic about AI is probably more dangerous than the reality.

It’s ok to give yourself an “employee discount” when there are only self-checkout lines open at the grocery store, right? 🤔

At least they let you in!

Opinion | How ChatGPT Surprised Me

I think this is a great write-up about the good and the not so good.

Good idea

Oops I might need to try that

I’m so psyched for this! Seems like something y’all would make. 🥰

Matcha lines? 🤪

Oh no 😟

Life Is More Than an Engineering Problem | Los Angeles Review of Books Julien Crockett speaks with Ted Chiang about the search for a perfect language, the state of AI, and the future direction of technology.

I've been lucky enough to be challenged by Ted Chiang about AI, technology, capitalism, and philosophy myself and this article is an important read. I think it's crucially important to balance any technological pursuit with the philosophical implications it carries.

“Wokeness” is just standing up for everyone’s right to the pursuit of happiness. I can’t think of anything more American than that. If you’re so unhappy you want others to be as wretched as you, I feel sorry for you, but don’t tread on everyone else.

Any chance I can contribute something to the Urbanist about this as a resident? Would love to share some pro-housing love from I guess unfortunately a NIMBY stronghold.

Really excited to have gotten to canvass for this initiative. This is such a well thought out solution.

They don't! I love them, and there's plenty of room for more. Especially on the corner of 34th and Union at that abandoned ugly building with parking that nobody uses...

Thanks for sending this! We need more housing everywhere!

As a Madrona resident for 15 years, I'm pretty upset to hear this. Already emailed City Council. We need more housing!

My favorite AI 🥰
