Adam Tooze: The Trump trade is dead. Long live the anti-Trump trade. Wherever you look in financial markets, you see signs that global investors are going out of their way to avoid Donald Trump’s America.

OpenAI has decided AI safety with regards to automated weapons is less important than money from government contracts. We must reward companies that hold the line and punish companies that defect.
I canceled OpenAI two weeks ago because I saw the writing on the wall. Just subscribed to Anthropic.
Big protest at the Lincoln Monument. Seven D.C. high schools walked out to come here.
Maybe in-universe Dawkins got accidentally dosed with a slow acting memetic hazard while doing work for the Foundation and they moved him out into a public communicator role as a sort of retirement plan.

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

"...
They make big bucks for systems, so they never want it known
That you can build a mainframe from the things you find at home

Can you post the URL source so this can be easily verified?
the man who owns Palantir, a key contractor to the US intelligence community. Under US law, Thiel, as a holder of high level security clearances, was required to report this contact to USG. It does not appear he did so.
This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,
