I used GPT4 with web search to answer some specific climate change questions. The answers are definitely surprising.

At a press conference on Sunday a Pentagon official said he could not rule-out the possibility that the balloons were of extra terrestrial origin. Ladies and gentlemen, meet your United States government Ministry of Propaganda.

Making payments anonymously is not inherently criminal. Too many progressives, in their zealousness against truly bad actors, are letting the surveillance state into their minds and their politics.
It's really bad. Private greed and bureaucratic surveillance are twin enemies.

@GowerInitiative Quite possibly (among a lot of strong competition) my favourite ever MMT article. Return to read it at least once a year 👏

@clintballinger @timparrique When you accept (1) the super-rich will never permit real systemic change to reduce inequality (2) they do now understand the climate risks to the system that makes them super-rich, then the events of the last few years start to make sense.

@AllisonPearson Because too many journalists believe the "government as a household budget" myth. Until you understand why that makes you part of the problem, you'll never be able hold the government to account properly.

Other countries that are in the same - or worse - state than ours are not embarking on Austerity.
Why is the UK?

I don't like paying more tax, nobody does. But colleagues who were right on the need to restore the UK's economic stability & credibility can't criticise when the Chancellor does just that. Difficult but necessary decisions. The era of cakeism is over.

@rohangrey And if tech innovation is genuinely your motivator, stop creating solutions searching for a problem, become an #RSE, find a problem that actually needs solving, then apply your "high integrity" skills to that.
English
No one is against coding innovation. They're against a movement that is fundamentally built around making money and grift convincing itself it's committed to good tech first. We've seen this story before.

the thing that upsets me the most about ftx is that mainstream seems to think some random guy’s hedge fund blowing up invalidates all the amazing zk, pl theory, cryptography, mechanism design, distsys work that so many amazing high-integrity people are working on
