Elon Musk suggested that universal basic income is necessary to address the problem of unemployment caused by AI. This doesn't make sense.

25 years ago, the US and Germany had similar labor productivity. Germany was a global industrial powerhouse. Then Germany followed the left-green path of overregulation, bureaucracy, energy madness and redistribution, and became the sick man of Europe. Don’t be like Germany.

@RobertMSterling He also wants regulators to step in. If they do once he's already positioned as market leader then he will be able to keep competitors down.

Anthropic’s CEO keeps talking about AI wiping out jobs because he’s trying to IPO this year. If he positions Claude as armageddon for jobs, his TAM becomes “all white-collar human labor,” not just AI agents or SaaS. It’s completely self-interested. All the concerns he’s expressing about job disruptions are fake. It’s a marketing gambit to create hype and FOMO among the people he needs more than anyone else this year: institutional investors like BlackRock, Fidelity, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds. If these investors pay for tickets on the hype train—if he can make them believe that AI will eliminate half of white-collar jobs, with Anthropic, as the dominant leader in enterprise AI, positioned to capture the surplus margin—the IPO will be oversubscribed and Anthropic can raise more funds for the company at a higher valuation. But Dario (or, at least, his bankers) knows that these investors are more fiscally disciplined than they used to be. A lot of them got burned during Covid SPAC-mania and don’t want to risk it again. They’re going to challenge Anthropic about whether it will ever get to sustainably high gross margins, or if its arms race with OpenAI will lead to kilowatt-hours permanently suppressing gross margins. They’re going to ask pointed questions about Anthropic’s massive capex and whether it will ever generate accretive ROIC. And Dario might not have the answers they’re looking for. So that’s why—to answer Austen’s smart question—you keep seeing Dario in the news and the podcast circuit, spreading doom and gloom about widespread job loss. It’s not to make you afraid of losing your job. It’s to get Wall Street afraid of missing out on his IPO.

@paidgaming245 @curtis_yarvin Yosuke Matsuoka, the Japanese delegate to the League of Nations, warned in 1932 that if Japan was kicked off of mainland Asia, Sovietism would make its way to the Yangtze. Our presence in the Pacific helped make communist expansion possible!

@curtis_yarvin While I agree with a lot of this I don’t think we should give up our empire in the pacific Truman should have let MacArthur destroy China in 1951. MacArthur was right, they are the juggernaut him the east Quote” We will be dealing with the Communists in Asia for a century."

Ppl: why u isolationist? Me: because my timeline will not be free until the last Israeli lobbyist is strangled with the guts of the last Gaza activist. Leaving the whole desiccated region as foreign and irrelevant to all healthy patriotic Americans as Mali or Paraguay

@tafphorisms @curtis_yarvin And there have been traders sailing those waterways for thousands of years. If America left there would still be trade. More, in fact, because the sanctions would go away.

@curtis_yarvin The Middle East is the crossroads of global shipping and home to some of the largest oil reserves on earth. The day it’s as irrelevant as Mali is the day we invent cold fusion.

When economic conditions change, borrowers can find themselves underwater and unable to adjust quickly to find a better situation. Not good.

The federal government subsidizes borrowers taking out enormous loans on a 30 year term, which is crazy. This causes home prices to rise faster than they should, and ties borrowers to an "asset" that is extremely illiquid.

Even being vaguely intellectually aware of it, it’s always still weird for me to remember that most of Africa was basically a scifi-style death world for everyone not ancestrally native to the particular region they were currently in until the invention of quine
Woke Beria 🇬🇪@realLPBeria

I’m surprised slave-trade critics didn’t point to the apocalyptic tropical-disease death rates of the Europeans involved. (Slave-ship crews had higher mortality than their victims!) Like, this seems like *pretty strong* empirical evidence that God doesn’t want you doing this.

Our grandson Alfie's friend moved to Miami last year. Surgeon. Was making £40,000 at the NHS. Now he makes $350,000. Left his London flatshare for a four-bed with working hot water. This country gave him everything. All he had to do was stay and fund our pensions. Ungrateful.🇬🇧
