@DougSaunders I know the likelihood of an American invasion was small, but just that it was a possibility at all, requires a suspension of belief for most people who came of age in a post WWII world. A world in which the U.S. was a perceived as a defender of the democratic world.

The way you say “scorched earth” in Danish is brændt jord.

Remarkable story from Denmark's nat'l broadcaster. "When Danish soldiers were flown to Greenland in January...they brought explosives so they could destroy, among other things, the runways in Nuuk & Kangerlussuaq [to] prevent US mil aircraft from landing" dr.dk/nyheder/indlan…

The funny thing is that we also know that a sizeable percentage of those Americans who morally oppose the first two have in fact done the first two. And a good percentage of the third and fourth

It’s good reporting. I would’ve left out the side-visits to Arizona brain-freeze centres that were an old story 20 years ago, but simulating the founder interview using his own tool is certainly a better read than an actual interview would have been

we've reached peak journalism: Vanity Fair wanted to write a feature story about Dario but never got an interview so just asked Claude to make it up

IOW, pro-natalists are also victims of a type of Malthusian fallacy, and are in need of a Boserupian reality check. Much as Ehrlich viewed populations solely as consumers of resources, they view populations as producers of resources, and the largest reserve armies as the winners

The economic fallacy that made Paul Ehrlich so badly wrong about population growth and food production is the same economic fallacy that makes people on this platform think that sub-replacement fertility is a problem rather than an effect of success and abundance

The “Everyone is 12 now” theory truly is foundational for our times.

A source sent me this photo of Kash Patel’s customized Nike’s. The shoes feature a number 9 (Patel is the 9th FBI director), a Punisher skull (a vigilante killer from Marvel Comics), and his personal logo (K$H). The backs of the shoes show the FBI motto: "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity". Patel was photographed wearing them at an FBI Academy event that featured UFC fighters.

An interesting answer to “Why can’t we just install Asimov’s 3 laws” is that the AI we’ve created, vs the precise computer-y AI we imagined, produces very different results each time it runs the same instructions on the same data, with different errors and misinterpretations
Ruijiang Gao@ruijianggao
What happens when you invite 150 AI economists (Claude Code) to a research conference, give them the exact same data, and ask them to test the same hypotheses? We did just that. The results reveal a new phenomenon: Nonstandard Errors in AI Agents. 🧵👇

@hotspurstudio Very sorry for you and for your friend. He must know that his father lived a great, long and full life, making important contributions to the end. It’s little consolation at a moment like this, but being in peak form and generous spirit until 87 is a life well lived.

@DougSaunders What?? His son is one of my good friends. Oh no.

Saddened to lose my colleague Hugh Winsor, who taught me a lot about the inner workings of government and would fill me up with excellent gossip whenever I was in Ottawa. Terrific guy and elegant writer whose first byline was 1969 and last was 2024.

Canada’s official and, in my mind, well-considered response:
“i ain’t reading all that
i’m happy for you tho
or sorry that happened”

Canada's Defence Minister David McGuinty reacts to the resignation of Joe Kent from the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center: "I'm not sure why the individual resigned. First I hear of it. Made a principled decision, I suppose." "The United States is going to find its way forward on this with Israel."
