It's wild to me to see how far the ADL has allowed itself to fall under Greenblatt.

I wonder who broke the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Such a mystery.

It's forever interesting to me who gets to be viewed as innocent and child-like.

Men in their 30s talking about their love for Hitler and wanting to put people in gas chambers are referred to as "kids"...

The reason I'm not particularly worried about AI in the knowledge economy is that the problem is still fundamentally thinking rather than tooling.

Beyond the societal damage, the cost of this can't be justified.

10+ heavily armed agents deployed to capture one lowly undocumented person, then add all the additional costs to certain and deport them, and all against the community's wishes.

Ideology over logic.

I mocked him with the 5 more years thing, but his actual responses in the article were so much worse.

He's sure he's still right, but he'll put together a response in a few months and it'll take at least 20 highly technical pages (so I'm guessing he's planning another book).

"5 more years!"

Screams Charles Murray, as has been his slogan for at least the last 30 years.

If you were to accuse mainstream Republicans of being openly aligned with people holding these sorts of views, they would definitely say you're being unfair.

The issue is these guys let their words get leaked, rather than keeping it private as expected.

It's great that Israel and Hamas have both released some of their hostages.

There isn't likely to be justice throug all of this, but for the sake of innocent civilians, I hope the ceasefire can become something more long-lasting.

All strong players were there at some point. Just keep learning, playing and having fun.

It still amazes me how many people assume that diversity means unqualified, and yet can't see what that says about their mode of thinking.

I'm a good dad, so I didn't tell him that the easy part of a PhD thesis is coming up with a good idea and a demo that looks great.

It's finding out and solving for all the other crazy factors.

He'll learn eventually in his third year of his PhD when he's crying thinking it was all for nothing

I told my 16 year old the post-doc idea I had for creating AI driven intelligent traffic systems.

He just improved it, and created a simulation demo...in a few hours.

This boy is so much smarter than me, and I couldn't be more proud of the man he will be.

When the history books are written about this era, ICE will be described in very much similar language as the Gestapo.

My wife and I have been pretty annoyed about it as well.

What does that even mean...

It's weird to see hyping up the crowd...in a chess match

Wow

There are people who just go to a farm to look at pumpkins and take pictures.

I have no idea how that became a tradition.

I wouldn't say those are the types of conservatives we're thinking of. I'm thinking of the ones that would consistently defend the right to speak even when they strongly disagree. Conservatives were more consistently against government sanctioning of speech.

Yeah, this is a good example. Don't know if the principle will survive Trumpism, but for years it was well defended by conservatives.

Noah and I were pretty friendly on Twitter. We would DM quite a few times and I came to understand a lot of his positions (including ones he didn't really put out publicly).

But that was 2+ years ago. I don't know how things have changed, so I hope this isn't representative.

I genuinely hope that in 30 years, a lot of people who today defend the horrors we see in Gaza will feel shame, and even be made to feel shame.

I can't understanding a mentality that views calls to stop indiscriminately murdering women, children and other civilians as itself evil.

Valuing human life should be a common principle.

Politics is weird sometimes.

I guess it's obvious that Noah disagrees that Israel is committing a genocide, even as many of the war crimes and crimes against humanity Israel commits are on video.

But even then, to accuse those who want the behavior to stop of being genocidal is gross.

'One reason the Palestine activists yell "genocide, genocide" all day long is that *they want to commit genocide* against the Israelis. It's the old "accusation as admission of guilt" thing, like when Trump calls his opponents "crooked".' - Noah Smith on Twitter

This is a shocking thing to say. So the UN, International genocide scholars, and even Jewish/Israeli genocide scholars....are all wanting to just commit another Holocaust according to Noah.

First they came for trans people, immigrants, Hispanics, African-Americans...

I wonder who is next.

Human Genetics Associations openly writing about attempts by racists to distort and misappropriate their work for racist purposes.

The idea that "political is bad" is worth challenging. A lot of good things are done for political reasons.

That's a good one 😂
