Preach father

So you’re saying my dream of working in banking in mainland China as a foreigner may be difficult in more ways than one

They’re saying nobody has ever done a national suicide as beautiful as mine. They say to me, eyes full of tears, “Mr President I’ve never seen a country kill itself as bigly.” And I smiled to myself. Think of that. Killing yourself. I’d do it. Maybe I will do it right now, who’d stop me? I wouldn’t.

Pointless power fantasy. “We can do what we want”

Very funny to ruin your career reputation for fine

Love you uncle Nelson ya old coot

Today was the funeral of my grand-uncle and it caused me to realize that he was a surrogate grandfather for me and my family

It’s true!—didn’t know what I had til he was gone.

It’s too bad good people aren’t shameless and bad people aren’t shameful

Saw this academic article the other day and I never clicked a link so fast before in my life

Even more fun though experiment:

-How many Charlie Kirks would need to die for Donald Trump to earn your vote

Cover of Disabling Intelligences over a rainbow glass background

As you begin to build your 2026 reading lists (which is a thing I assume some people do), consider adding my really very short book on AI and Eugenics.

Disabling Intelligences:Legacies of Eugenics and How We are Wrong about AI has a lot in under 50k words.

It’s funny that Erickson landed on this note because I’ve personally been interested in theorizing a post-Christian ‘religious left’ with Gnosticism/alchemy as core source

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

Goes to show Confucianism is real and works

What an ignorant way to frame such a profound and interesting question

I give up, Claude is conscious. Ergo AI developers must face imprisonment or execution for performing medical experiments on their living slave.

So the problem with this assertion is it relies on a quantitative fact (post-hoc polling regarding vote rationale) when campaigns are fundamentally qualitative phenomenon

That Biden sent blue state money to a bunch of red states was such a tragedy

Lesson: do not do deliverism for your opponents. If rural people want the next big public infrastructure buildout, they can either convince Republicans to do it or they can elect Democrats. Democrats should not reward them for voting Republican.

It’s also essentially the same cursed movement rearing its ugly head oncemore

Oh I gotcha your post made me think of papers by David Ciepley regarding public corps which is why I asked

Huh why do you refer to EIC as a private entity instead of a public corporation?

The martial arts scenes in It’s A Wonderful Life were a key influence on The Matrix

Peak American culture

Yeah probably!

I have an idea: expropriate Murdoch properties and disenfranchise Republican voters

It’s amazing to see how America exports itself and be metabolized by local people

I was at her office to participate in some ad taping and it was an extremely professional crew with some expensive equipment

I think it’s cheap and easy to screenshot campaign filings and post them. I think it’s far more interesting to look at how the money is spent, on who, doing what, etc

The political-historical sophistication of Wall Street analysts is on par with sports commentary

I’d never pay for it as it seems like a waste of money. The kid will be as smart as parents allow them to be
