one of the most inspiring interviews i’ve seen to date

@gabriel_zucman Honestly, I think the absolute amount of tax contribution is more important than the tax rate. 20 percent of a billion is much important in terms improving wellbeing of real people than 30 percent of 50,000.

It is high time we fix this anomaly. I have made a simple proposal in this book, which is coming out today in the UK and this summer in the US. I look forward to your reactions.

Hello @JeffBezos, since you question the results of our studies on the unfairness of the US tax system, please allow me to remind you of the main conclusions of our work, the most comprehensive research to date on this issue.

5月19日，据《华尔街日报》报道：一项发表在《Nature》上的最新研究发现，中国官方媒体（新华社、人民日报等）的海量内容已被大量爬取并嵌入全球主流AI模型的训练数据中。结果导致ChatGPT、Claude、Gemini等AI在用中文回答涉华敏感问题时，立场明显更偏向北京官方叙事。 上周，在特朗普-习近平北京峰会成为全球头条的同时，《自然》（Nature）杂志发表了一项重磅研究：7位美国顶尖大学研究者首次用同行评审证据证明，中国官方媒体（新华社、人民日报、学习强国等）的海量内容，已大量进入全球主流AI模型的训练数据集。 研究团队通过分析开源数据集CulturaX（含1.89亿中文文档）发现： 中国官方媒体内容数量是中文维基百科的41倍； 涉及“党代会”“中央委员会”等敏感政治词汇时，官方内容占比高达1/4。 结果：ChatGPT、Claude、Gemini等AI在用中文回答涉华敏感问题时，立场明显更亲北京，能自然接上习近平标志性政治论述并“正面解读”；而英文回答则相对中立。中国自研的DeepSeek模型无论中英文都高度一致亲官方。 研究还发现类似现象存在于俄罗斯、朝鲜等国。更关键的是：这不需要黑客攻击——专制国家宣传完全免费、开放在网页上，而民主国家的独立媒体多采用付费墙，导致AI爬虫天然偏好“免费”内容。 研究覆盖37个国家得出结论：一个国家的新闻自由度越低，其语言的AI输出就越偏向政权叙事。由于大语言模型不透明，用户根本无法知道自己看到的“事实”来自哪里。 加州大学圣迭戈分校中国数据实验室联合主任Molly Roberts指出：“威权政府现在可以通过AI，跨越国界塑造全球信息消费。”

@shellenberger @mattwridley Apparently those booing kids don’t boo AI when they use it happily for their homeworks. This is exactly why they’re called the coddled generation because they insist that a coin should only have one side

Few have done more to raise the alarm about campus intolerance than Jonathan Haidt. That he was booed by students from his own university, who called for “the safest option,” epitomizes the deep rot created by decades of coddling and left-wing indoctrination.

Eric Schmidt should’ve stopped mid-speech and said: “Fine. Boo AI. But make your next Preply class Chinese, because the civilization cheering this stuff is not waiting for you to finish your campus struggle session.” China’s grandmas are lining up to install AI tools. Chinese developers are shipping open-source models like their hair is on fire. Their public is overwhelmingly positive about AI (83% feel positive about the future while in the west we are circling the drain around 30%). Their companies are moving fast, copying fast, improving fast, innovating fast, deploying fast. And in America? Our most educated children boo the mere mention of the most important technology since electricity. Why? Because our AI leadership class has spent three years doing the dumbest possible PR campaign in the history of technology. One half of them tells everyone AI will kill them. The other half tells everyone AI will take every white-collar job in 18 months. Then the closed-model cartel runs to DC whispering that ordinary people cannot be trusted with powerful open-source AI, that the future must be locked behind a handful of corporate APIs, safety boards, export controls, permission slips, and East India Company monopolies. And everyone acts shocked when the kids hate it. You told them AI means unemployment. You told them AI means extinction. You told them AI means no future. Then you walk onto a graduation stage and say “AI” and wonder why they boo. This is what strategic suicide looks like. The country that taught the world to love computers, the internet, open source, startups, hackers, builders, weirdos, tinkerers, and permissionless innovation is now teaching its children to fear the next platform shift. Meanwhile China looked at AI and said: deploy it, open it, copy it, improve it, integrate it, normalize it. We looked at AI and said: regulate it, monopolize it, catastrophize it, litigate it, protest the datacenters, ban the open models, blame every layoff on it, then act mystified when the public thinks it’s a demon machine. NIMYBs are moving from blocking housing to blocking datacenters. The same folks that stopped nuclear, the cleanest energy we have, are now joining hands with the NIMYBs. The hard right nationalists in Bannon and the hard left socialists in Bernie are joining hands in a new American party with mad Max Tegmark spending billions to terrify children about AI. Wonder what they'll call themselves? Maybe the National Socialists? The West does not have an AI capability problem. It has an AI civilizational-confidence problem. And if we keep telling our kids that the future is something to boo, don’t be surprised when the future answers back in Mandarin.

Last week, amid the global headlines surrounding the high-stakes summit between President Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing, a quieter but profoundly consequential piece of research dropped in Nature. A team of seven researchers from major American universities published the first peer-reviewed evidence that China’s state-controlled media has successfully worked its way into the training data of AI chatbots that the world increasingly relies on. The study demonstrates that scripted articles, official slogans, and party-line phrasings churned out daily by entities like the Xinhua News Agency and the Communist Party's study apps are now demonstrably embedded inside ChatGPT and other top models. A quick test of one of Xi Jinping's signature political doctrines shows that global chatbots seamlessly finish the phrases and offer to explain their political significance, reflecting an underlying saturation of state doctrine. By combing through CulturaX, a massive open-source data set containing 189 million Chinese-language documents widely used to train AI models, the researchers found that state-media content is 41 times more abundant in the corpus than Chinese-language Wikipedia. While the overall overlap sits at a modest 1.64%, that share climbs to roughly one in four documents when filtering for politically sensitive terms like the Party Congress or the Central Committee. “What is new here is now they are shaping the systems people increasingly ask to summarize, explain, and interpret the world for them,” explained Molly Roberts, a researcher on the team and co-director of the China Data Lab at the University of California San Diego. She noted that through this mechanism, authoritarian governments can now shape information consumption not just domestically, but across international borders. When the team posed politically sensitive questions regarding Chinese governance to major commercial chatbots, the Chinese-language answers came back overwhelmingly more favorable to Beijing than their English counterparts. While Western models like GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok showed a distinct divergence between languages, China’s own DeepSeek model remained uniformly pro-Beijing across both English and Chinese, reflecting strict state regulatory control over its data. The phenomenon extends beyond China, revealing a similar pattern for queries regarding Russia and North Korea. Crucially, this ideological slant did not require covert cyber operations; the propaganda is simply available on the open web in plain, unpaywalled HTML, making it free and easy for any AI lab's web crawler to scoop up and ingest. This reality highlights an uncomfortable systemic asymmetry in global media ecosystems. While independent, high-quality journalism in democracies increasingly relies on paywalls to sustain its operations, state-run propaganda from authoritarian regimes remains entirely free, creating a massive economic imbalance in the textual material available for machine learning. A broader audit spanning 37 nations confirmed that this trend is a global issue: the lower a country's press freedom, the more regime-friendly the local-language output of the AI becomes. Because large language models do not transparently cite their sources, users are left completely unable to decipher the true origins of the geopolitical narratives presented to them. The Beijing summit generated a brief wave of international headlines, but this structural penetration of artificial intelligence demands a policy conversation that lasts years. While the scientific community has officially proven that authoritarian states are shaping global AI outputs, the question of how democracies will counter this invisible influence remains entirely unanswered. wsj.com/world/china/th…

@wangzhian8848 所以是不是可以用同样的逻辑证明你家暴了前妻

弦子诉朱军性骚扰案在类似性骚扰案中，证据算比较丰富的了，但依然败诉。可见在当下的中国，法律对职场性骚扰的法律救济有多么难。对于职场性骚扰，应该采取举证倒置，否则，如果让受害者举证，而且证据原则采取一般侵权标准，那几乎没有胜诉的可能性。

If diversity is a strength, then it’s a strength of the Right. In fact, the Right has a stronger claim than the Left does.

the engineer who built Claude Code just dropped a 28-minute video on how to write prompts that actually work I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what he shows in the first 10 minutes CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, prompting patterns all in one video and completely free works whether you're a developer, a beginner, or someone who's been using Claude for months based on this, I put together 18 things you can copy and use in Claude today full guide in the article below

@SwipeWright Campuses are hopeless now, but the campuses are dying anyway in an era of AI

I am once again reminding you that woke is not dead. It has only more deeply entrenched itself during the 2020 moral panic over "systemic racism." The racial equity initiatives resulted in a massive hiring spree of far-left DEI hires. They're all going up for tenure now.

YouGov: 25% of “very liberal” Americans say violence can be justified to achieve political goals compared with 3% of “very conservative” Americans.

this is f*cking gold the Claude setup most people will never find on their own if I had this a year ago, I would've worked 5x faster in the right hands, this changes everything:

"Relative to the general population, liberals are overrepresented among faculty by 186% - vastly more than men and considerably more than Asians. Meanwhile, conservatives are underrepresented by 70% - more than Hispanics, Black people, and Native Americans." stevestewartwilliams.com/p/academias-le…

@MarlaFights @IanCopeland5 @SwipeWright I guess for him the fact that some people have six fingers proves finger number is a continuum…

Show us the third gamete if sex is not binary as you claim. Chromosomal disorders are not proof of anything except disorders. Are you going to insult people with congenital deafness or blindness then? You sound like the epitome of DEI hire. Shameless trans propagandist pretending to be scientific. Pathetic.

Someone's triggered. Genotypically, XX chromosomes=a genotypic female. Again (and this will trigger you and the scientific wanna be @SwipeWright) but: 1) The genotypes are not binary, genotypic sex is bimodal, not binary. 99% of people fall in XX/XY, but there are exceptions, which by definition means it's not binary. 2) 1 gene on the Y chromosome dictates phenotypic sex development. SRY. Variation in SRY can result in physical deviation in sexual dimorphism, even if you're XY. (Swyer syndrome). So the XX/XY genotype ≠ typical sexual dimorphism (in all cases). Sexual identity and genotypic sex typically track together but...ARE NOT THE SAME AND ARE NOT INEXTRICABLY LINKED!!! @elonmusk you are to wealthy to be this ignorant on biology. @SwipeWright, you have no excuse, you're just not that bright... There is no debate here, those are facts.

@ItsEthanRay This woman is really good at making word salads that is based on zero reasoning but full of provocations

@loaburime @charlesmurray Every scholar has their own focuses after portraying the whole picture. What’s wrong with that? Should every global warming scholar spend equal effort on global warming and the ice age, otherwise he is lying?

@charlesmurray Hi @charlesmurray Ive successfully disproven your lies about the Minnesota Study the Bell Curve was built on & u've been decieving people w/ for 30+ years. I was wondering if you could respond. Its clear you never understood MTAS. @leonaburime/an-environmental-takedown-of-the-minnesota-transracial-adoption-study-part-1-2660ddc4856b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@leonaburime/a…

"Asians and whites are in NO way comparable intellectually as groups. You know this and so does every other objective intellectual." Of course they're comparable. That's what standardized scores do--provide a common metric for comparing the magnitude of score differences across different tests. If you meant "The East Asian mean on cognitive tests is higher than the non-Latino white mean," no problem. 0.3 SDs is a good ballpark generalization about its magnitude. It's not huge. If the black-white difference were 0.3 SDs, it wouldn't be worth worrying about except for the size of the tails.

🇨🇳 China’s public is unusually positive about AI products compared to other countries, which lowers adoption friction and makes it easier to roll AI into daily services at scale. And developer gravity is anyway shifting toward China in open-source, with download share moving away from the US and Europe --- ft .com/content/d9af562c-1d37-41b7-9aa7-a838dce3f571
