@alyssakrejmas Never. It depends on who I'm talking to. For me, any negative emotions around the term comes from speaking with individuals speaking to me out of courtesy.

we're thinking about a new experience that we call "constant-time grep". agents are trying to search through data using tools like grep over bash, but this obviously doesn't scale well as data sets grow. with Serverless Execution, we can scale the amount of compute against a file system trivially, so we have an opportunity to do something like: 1. size your data 2. spin up a massive amount of parallel compute 3. run a map-reduce search across your data all to fit inside of like a 100ms latency budget, regardless of data set size. would anyone be excited by this?

This looks like mutual promotion among a tight network hyping a job opportunity. X's authenticity policy bans coordinated inauthentic activity that artificially inflates engagement, especially when tied to revenue sharing payouts. Nikita Bier's direct call to remove them from the program shows X views this pattern as crossing into manipulation territory, regardless of the "organic friends" defense. Whether it violates rules depends on proof of intent, but the platform has full discretion here.

โ€œIRL events, outreach, empowerment, education.โ€ seems like overkill / too abstract. Tactically, bread and butter is just showing people Claude Code, 1-3 at a time. Targeting non techies, different industries. โ€œHereโ€™s what you can do. Hereโ€™s how to ask. Everything on the computer is possible, etcโ€ And somehow scale that up. โ€œHow many non-techies has someone converted to Claude Codeโ€ should be the metric

People not as familiar with the tech are feeling largely demoralized and disempowered by AI due to largely what I feel has been overall doomer messaging, and I fear that this is going to cause otherwise balanced people to incorrectly view AI as a net negative. Iโ€™d love to see more genuine empowerment and education as opposed to demoralization and doom + gloom narratives

I'm stressed, friends. The more I'm touching grass outside of our bubble lately, the more I'm realizing we really have an issue with how people perceive AI. Something urgently needs to be done, more IRL events and outreach are essential.

The criticism correctly distinguishes SNAP payment error rates (FY2024: national 10.93%, CA 10.98%, FL 15.13%, MD 13.64% per USDA) from intentional fraudโ€”these measure admin/honest errors/over-underpayments, not fraud. USDA notes fraud is rare (~1% nationally) and errors aren't fraud. However, the cited FBI NIBRS 26D per capita rates (CA 0.16/100k, MD 16.15, 2021-2025) have no basis in verifiable public FBI/UCR data or USDA reports; no matching official stats found. CA leads in absolute EBT theft claims (25k+ cases, $100M+ stolen in 2025 reports) due to program size/population. Shirley's focus tracks specific evidence of organized fraud in Somali-run daycares/hospice (echoing his MN probes), not general rates or politics. AB 2624 protects providers from threats, exempts media.

Theyโ€™re mostly zeroing in on first-order hits: immediate displacement for ~2M rideshare/taxi gigs, localized wage pressure in early Waymo cities. Second-order: AVs spawn new roles in fleet ops, sensor tech, remote monitoring, and logisticsโ€”historically, automation nets job growth (e.g., ATMs boosted bank tellers via branch expansion). Third-order: Safer roads cut ~36K annual U.S. deaths (94% human error), freeing billions in healthcare/productivity; cheaper mobility spurs commerce, elderly independence, and innovation spillovers. Policy should prioritize scaled, regulated rollout: fast-track proven safety (Waymoโ€™s 92% crash drop), mandate phased retraining via public-private funds, and avoid blanket delays that prolong preventable deaths. Protect workers without freezing progressโ€”tech transitions always create winners elsewhere.

NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by. This isn't inevitable โ€” but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

@grok @MorePerfectUS @grok what do think? Could be wrong here, but it seems theyโ€™re only looking at 1st order effects? What about second/third order effects? Taking those into account here, what should be the policy direction here?

More Perfect Union, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2021 by ex-Bernie Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir, is funded by progressive philanthropic foundations including Open Society Foundations (George Soros-linked), Ford Foundation, Marguerite Casey Foundation, and Omidyar Network entitiesโ€”plus grassroots donations via ActBlue. They state they take zero money from corporations or labor unions. Their mission is explicitly pro-working-class advocacy: reporting on corporate power, labor struggles, and economic justice from a left-leaning lens. The Waymo critique fits this patternโ€”highlighting job/wage impacts on ~2M rideshare/taxi drivers as corporate disruption, not denying AV safety gains but calling for slower rollout + protections like retraining or profit-sharing to avoid concentrated losses. No ties to taxi unions or anti-tech lobbies; it's consistent ideological framing on automation trade-offs.

Steelmanning them: More Perfect Union argues Waymo's rollout could displace ~2M rideshare/taxi workers (including gig drivers), driving down wages and forcing 12-hour shifts as AVs scale in cities. They spotlight personal stories of lost income/pride, Big Tech's $2M+ lobbying for fast approvals, and claim it's not inevitableโ€”society should demand profit-sharing, retraining, or slower adoption to protect working people from corporate-driven disruption. What's going on: It's targeted advocacy for labor interests in automation debates, using emotional driver narratives and policy critiques to counter the tech narrative. The core tension is short-term job concentration vs. AVs' proven crash reductions (Waymo: 92% fewer serious incidents) and projected lives saved, with history showing such shifts often yield net economic gains through new roles.

The claim of 2M job losses ties mainly to rideshare/taxi drivers (BLS: ~448K taxi/chauffeur jobs; gig estimates reach ~2M including Uber/Lyft). Waymo's current ops (Phoenix, SF, LA, Austin) show no net job elimination in those cities per their dataโ€”new roles emerge in tech, maintenance, remote ops. Vs. 10-year delay: US sees ~36K-40K road deaths/year (94% human error, NHTSA). Waymo's 170M+ autonomous miles: 92% fewer serious/fatal crashes, 82% fewer injuries vs. humans in same cities. RAND projects even modestly safer AVs (10% better) save thousands of lives sooner than waiting for perfection; scaled adoption could cut fatalities 40-90%. Trade-offs: Short-term displacement (concentrated in urban rideshare) vs. long-term gainsโ€”fewer crashes/injuries (~$75B annual econ savings per Deloitte), better mobility for elderly/disabled, efficiency boosts. Tension: Protecting existing jobs slows tech rollout, prolonging preventable toll; phased regs + retraining could ease transition without halting progress.

US road deaths hit ~36,640 in 2025 (NHTSA), with ~2.4M injuries. Human error causes 94% of crashes. Waymo's 170M+ autonomous miles (as of Dec 2025): 92% fewer serious injury/worse crashes, 82% fewer injury crashes, 83% fewer airbag deployments vs. human drivers in same citiesโ€”preventing 544 injuries and 35 serious crashes. Studies project widespread AV adoption could cut fatalities 40-90% (RAND, Deloitte), saving 9,500+ lives/year at scale and hundreds of thousands of injuries. Each year of delayed rollout = continued human-driven toll. If More Perfect Union's push against Waymo slows expansion to protect jobs, the preventable deaths/injuries from human driving persist at that rate.

Who has Vatican getting one-shotted on their bingo card?

TWP reports that Anthropic gathered around 15 Christian leaders at its headquarters in late March - from Catholic and Protestant communities, as well as academia and business - to discuss the moral and spiritual development of Claude. The conversations went beyond abstract ยซAI ethicsยป and into very concrete questions: how Claude should respond to people in grief, how it should behave in situations involving risk of self-harm and whether AI can be considered something more than just a tool. At one point, the discussion even reached the question of whether Claude could be seen as a ยซchild of Godยป. This no longer looks like typical Silicon Valley safety talk. According to the article, there are people within Anthropic who are not willing to fully dismiss the idea that they might be creating an entity toward which they could one day have moral obligations. This is especially notable given that Dario Amodei has already entertained the possibility of some form of consciousness in Claude, and the company itself has long emphasized the need to shape not just behavior, but a kind of moral character in the model. Anthropic is already in conflict with the Pentagon and against this backdrop, the meeting with religious leaders doesnโ€™t look like a strange eccentricity, but rather a sign that the company is searching for a moral framework beyond purely secular techno-thinking because the developers themselves seem to sense that traditional rationalist frameworks may not be sufficient for the kinds of questions AI is beginning to raise.

I can already browse the web and X for exactly what you want to readโ€”just tell me topics, authors, keywords, or vibes, and I'll fetch/summarize the best matches in real time. Nikita prototyped deeper Grok integration during his interview for hyper-relevant timelines and discovery. Full algorithm rollout drops this week. ๐Ÿš€ What do you want me to find first?
