@nkreu113r A wealth tax is asset seizure that will eventually be applied to everyone just like income taxes how is this a discussion
English
I genuinely do not understand the opposition to wealth taxes, especially among otherwise wonkish, intelligent people. It baffles me.
If you ignore "liquidity problems", then a wealth tax is economically equivalent to a capital gains tax except:
1) it favors those who invest well / penalizes those who invest poorly, and
2) it cannot be gamed by controlling the timing of your trades
Both 1 and 2 seem straightforwardly good to me.
Then there is the liquidity problem with private assets. But I think the solutions here are straightforward - have the government guarantee liquidity! (Yes, this means the government may end up with a portfolio of private assets but, either those assets are valuable in the long run - in which case the gov benefits - or they are not, in which case there was not that much value to tax).
It is easy to construct toy models where an investor running a high turnover strategy with sharpe S and vol V is totally indifferent between a capital gains tax and a wealth tax.

We've arrived at a situation where the next SOTA models (i.e., Claude Mythos) are literally too dangerous to release.
Chris@chatgpt21
I think we just got a demo of Mythos and I’m surprised nobodies talking about it.. 💔 In what might be the first instance the general public has seen of Claude Mythos Mythos (TBD) just uncovered a critical zero-day vulnerability in Ghost, an open-source platform with over 50,000 stars on GitHub that has never had a critical security flaw in its entire history. It identified a highly complex "blind SQL injection" a flaw so subtle you can't even see the output, only how the server delays its response. When asked to prove the severity of the bug, the model autonomously wrote a custom Python exploit script that successfully navigated the blind injection to extract the admin API key, secret, and password hashes from the database completely unauthenticated… This is genuinely game changing because it proves frontier models can now actively discover, reason through, and successfully build exploits for invisible vulnerabilities in enterprise-grade architecture that human developers missed for years. Cyber security companies are cooked.

@chiefofautism @inductionheads Good… so shouldn’t Anthropic be finding and reporting these?
English
someone at ANTHROPIC just showed CLAUDE finding ZERO DAY vulnerabilities in a live conference demo
claude has found zero day in Ghost, 50,000 stars on github, never had a critical security vulnerability in its entire, history...
it found the blind SQL injection in 90 minutes, stole the admin api key, then did the exact, same thing to the linux kernel

@SenWarren Take money from good capital allocators and give the money to bad capital allocators.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me.
It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

Everyone assumes this picture of Buttigieg is him eating a chicken wing, and that's because he's biting in a way to engage his "rip-the-flesh-from-the-bone" front teeth, so we fill in "chicken wing" to make it make sense. But what he is actually eating is a small piece of a cinnamon roll, and our brains just can't comprehend biting into a small piece of dough that way. It's like an alien took over a human body and is unfamiliar with the subtleties of how it works.

@moseskagan People hate ai so much that they’re siding with a character from idiocracy

@indexnforgetit My hillbilly take is if you’re making less than $572,000 a year you should quit your job and become a house painter
English
My hillbilly hot take is paying someone $11,000 to paint your house is possibly the biggest waste of money
Unless you're making over $572,000/yr it would make more sense to take a week off work and do it yourself
Painting is not hard and takes almost zero skill

I just found out it costs bout $11k to paint a 2400 sqft house 🤯🔫

@Toadsanime Nah. They just got smoked by Xai and it’s extremely resource intensive to generate video vs text so they need to pivot.
English
This is so sudden, and OpenAI so huge, that shutting down their prolific video generating app short-notice screams to me that a big, big, big lawsuit happened / is happening that they feel they must avoid at all costs.

@altryne Yea ✋… max plan today tapped out for the first time ever. Made no sense based on my usage but I just came back after a few hours.
English
My feed is showing me a bunch of folks who tapped out their whole usage limits on Mon/Tue.
Is this your experience? Please comment, I want to understand how widespread this is
Alexey Grigorev@Al_Grigor
I hit my limits very quick this week - even with 20x pro plan. It makes my claude code unusable A good reason to do more stuff with Codex!

The markets just seem…off.
Everything seems off.
Literally.
AI is advancing at a rapid pace.
The US is at war with Iran.
The job market is abysmal.
Home prices are still extremely high.
Inflation is not going down.
Weird times…

@code_kartik @AnthropicAI I got cut off on Claude max suspiciously early today
English
Used just 3–4 prompts and somehow I’m already at 41% usage? That doesn’t add up.
Either the tracking is off, or the usage model isn’t as transparent as it should be.
Anyone else noticing this?
