๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Dark-Money Group Pays Influencers to Frame Chinese AI as a National Threat A dark-money nonprofit called Build American AI, linked to a super PAC backed by executives at OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz, is paying lifestyle influencers up to $5,000 per video to spread pro-AI messaging and stoke fears about Chinaโ€™s technological rise, WIRED reports. Influencers received sample scripts warning that Chinese AI dominance could expose Americansโ€™ personal data and eliminate U.S. jobs. Most labeled posts as ads but did not disclose the funding source. โ€œThis is literally propaganda,โ€ Queens College media studies professor Jamie Cohen told WIRED. โ€œTheyโ€™re not disclosing the agenda underneath it.โ€ Story is linked below ๐Ÿ‘‡

President Trump said heโ€™s not sure who the leaders in Iran are. Earlier today, he added: โ€œThereโ€™s tremendous discordโ€ฆ theyโ€™re having a tremendous problem getting along with each otherโ€ฆ The leadership is very disjointed, itโ€™s got two to three groups, maybe fourโ€ฆ With that being said, they all want to make a deal.โ€

Most people sense society is increasingly becoming a detached alienating nightmare driven by sociopaths. Yet we still trust mainstream economists whose entire project hinges on a world modeled after instrumental agents acting like sociopaths, to tell us what we can and canโ€™t do

Many economists treat the value of ideas like exclusive membership in a country club for douchebags. Itโ€™s well known how toxic the discipline is. But behind this attitude is a deep insecurity driving this fixation on โ€œcredentialsโ€ because they are cosplaying as physicists
Total NIMBY Death@BarneyFlames

No offense but I saw some leftist adjacent globes being like "actually the unlearning econ guy has a great academic background". This was much worse than I expected.
