You can just Google it, was an extremely obscure term from the 1800s that became used by people other than Jewish scholars during the evangelical religious revival of the 1970s. So as a concept as we understand it, it didn’t exist in the founding era, so it would be odd to say the country is “founded on those values” unless you mean it incidentally, and the country was founded incidentally on all kinds of random values that just so happen to be encompassed in the set of values the country was actually founded on. Which btw are not “christian”

@AnaKasparian I never have. Feel free to continue lying publicly, though. Those checks don’t cash themselves and you aren’t talented enough to be relevant with the truth.

@RichardHanania Does the Mona Lisa become uglier as more ugly people look at it? I think yes

I just joined Facebook. Is there anything for me to do there? Do serious people post there or is it all Boomer rants? I was thinking about whether it's a good place to post articles. People have been asking to be friends. Should I accept them all? facebook.com/profile.php?id…

@lurking2472 @MattBruenig @mattyglesias The relevance being that the claim is AI driven disemployment will basically mean only move people down the abstraction ladder which people don’t want to do

It really is notable that contra Andreesen *all* the leaders of top AI companies — including the decidedly non-leftist Elon Musk — say their work will generate massive disemployment. They may be wrong but it’s not a “doomer” take, it’s what AI bulls think!

Sure, it’s true that not all the innovations reshaping the workforce allowed people to go from manual labor to intellectual labor, but I can’t think of directionally reversed (you’d know the history better than me here) and that seems like a redistribution of labor that exactly nobody is excited about. Understand though that this is a separate issue from the “AI leads to optional employment” issue

@doodlebugstinks @mattyglesias I am not sure the shift from agriculture to industry required a lot of extra abstract thinking from workers. Indeed, one of the big critiques of the shift was that it replaced the independent thinking and planning of farming with mind-numbing routinized labor

@MattBruenig @mattyglesias It’s just them being honest. Unlike previous labor-saving innovation AI is good at abstract thinking, it disemploys abstract thinkers, and it doesn’t free them up to do abstracter thinking because the AI will be better at that too. Womp womp :(

@mattyglesias More AI people would be wise, both in the interest of public relations and interest of being correct on the merits, to just say that AI is a labor-saving technology and, like all other such technologies, it is unclear how the reallocation of factors will go.

@doodlebugstinks @phl43 @marginletter Hundreds of stations in Australia have already reported running out of gasoline. You either pay some guy $200 for gas or you get nothing. People should take this seriously and try to reduce their consumption. You can still stockpile though.

@QuatoofCapital @phl43 @marginletter I understand that you can charge more money for something when demand goes up but I am a little skeptical of the Hormuz situation inducing demand in this case given that, as of now, it has not done that. We will see though!

@phl43 @marginletter This is a surprising answer because your tweet implies you should definitely say some number much higher than 15% and explain why

Philippe Lemoine@phl43·
I can't tell you how much the price of oil will rise exactly, because unlike you I'm not retarded so I understand that it depends on exactly how long Hormuz stays closed and whether oil infrastructure in the Gulf is seriously damaged, which nobody knows. But I don't need to know that to understand that the reasoning I mention in the OP is economically illiterate. Frankly, if you continue you may soon become the first person I block on this website, because I'm growing tired of seeing your unhinged and idiotic takes under every single tweet I make.

Elections are also a pressure release valve for societies to feel like they are have some authority over their destiny. Much dialogue about this exact topic in the lead up to revolution in France and having to stomach oppression (or just shit you don’t like) with no say electorally building enormous pressure

The only pro-monarchy argument I’ve ever found even a little compelling: a legally powerless monarch serves as a cultural pressure release valve for the human urge to worship larger-than-life symbols which would otherwise be misdirected at the constitution by refusing to amend it

I have a list and a script monitoring the domains of all of my adversaries. When they die, the domain is added to the list and the script checks to see when it goes up for purchase. I have acquired six of my adversaries websites, and they all redirect back to my homepage.

We need to stop prioritizing parking lots over people. Today, I assembled a roundtable to discuss our Building Up Illinois Developments Plan — and the consensus was that we need to act fast. Looking forward to passing it and getting to work in our neighborhoods.

Not so @simonw. If you have a database that contains all of the relevant law, you can deterministically check each citation and quote against that database.
