I defended Secretary of War Pete Hegseth from all of his scandals right up until the invasion of Iran. He was America First and reportedly counseled Trump against starting a war with Iran a year ago. Since that time he has gone full neocon warmonger and prayed publicly that God would help us kill the Iranian people. I am ashamed I ever supported him.

Stephen Miller says there is not a single verification system in place in Democrat states to receive federal benefits Elon Musk and DOGE tried to warn us…. He says Blue states operate “ENTIRELY ON THE HONOR SYSTEM” He says this is how Democrats put illegals on our benefits “I think what's important for Americans to understand about how pervasive and widespread the fraud is — I think that most citizens probably assume that there's some verification process that takes place for the receipt of most federal benefits. The reality is, is that there is not, this is particularly true in blue states, willfully, true in blue states, in which all of these programs are operated entirely on the honor system” “No verification takes place before individuals are enrolled in or receive these benefits. So as a simple example, if you're a Somali refugee living in Minnesota, you could lie about how many children you have. You could lie about what your immigration status is. You could lie about your marital status. You could lie about child care, you could lie about disability, you could lie about all these things and many more. And nobody in the state of Minnesota would validate any of these facts before writing you a check”



The enemy is inside the gates.

@NoRegrets_333 @mayazi When neighbors are despots, the moral culpability of all the negative outcomes fall on the despot.

I'm actually pretty open-minded about the anti-data-center populism. From everything I've seen from people working on this, reducing industrial-scale hardware availability seems to be both the most practical, and most non-dystopian / non-invasive way to lengthen AGI timelines. So if the movement that makes that happen starts out with anti-data-center populism, that seems fine? Of course you have to do things other than going after data centers located in populated areas to really make a dent on AGI timelines (my intuition is that 10-100x compute reduction is feasible in a "static" model of the world, and 100-10000x if you compare to a counterfactual that includes future chip design progress; those numbers *would* make a dent), but there is a first step for everything.
