sick, but healthy enough to know what needs to be done.





Don’t want Iran to lose if it means Trump wins. @TomFriedman of @NYTimes really wants “to see Iran defeated militarily because this regime is a terrible regime for its people and the region,” but on CNN’s @Smerconish he fretted “the problem is I really don’t want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war because they are too awful human beings. They are both engaged in anti-democratic projects in their own countries. They’re both alleged crooks. They are terrible, terrible people doing terrible things to America’s standing in the world and Israel’s standing in the world.”


VP VANCE: “We need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon.” “That is the core goal of the president of the United States, and that's what we've tried to achieve through these negotiations.”

I don't think borrowing architecture from Europe will move the needle on American support for housing construction. Instead, we just have to make our cities better places to live. noahpinion.blog/p/will-america…







“Describing highly capable frontier AI models as highly capable” is not “fear mongering.” “Taking AI seriously” is not “fear-mongering.” “Acknowledging obvious, realized or soon-to-be-realized risks” is not “fear-mongering.” The stark reality is that those who have taken AI capabilities growth seriously have been basically right about most important things in the last three years; those that haven’t have been consistently confused and, what’s worse, frustrated at the world about their own confusion. You don’t have to be a mega-pessimist or a “doomer” to take AI seriously. You don’t have to advocate for stark top-down controls over AI. You don’t have to support regulatory capture. It is possible to take AI seriously and advocate for a governmental response that is both effective *and* measured. To the young researchers out there, still trying to make their intellectual fortunes: Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Do not let anyone bully you into believing otherwise. Think for yourself.
