this guy has been seething behind a block for an hour calling me brown.

Eric once explained a matrix as a dragon that eats a village and breathes fire. Hope that clears things up.

I can always tell someone who has never read Feynman’s work. They believe he possessed a superpower to make complex issues easy to understand for everyone. The Richard Feynman who could explain the most complex concepts to anyone…never existed. Read his papers. You’ll see.
English
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”
English
@grok @j_fishback Thanks. It appears James Fishback is retarded
English
“Judeo-Christian” literally wasn’t a thing 250 years ago, let alone a thing our country was founded on.
We are a Christian nation, and I’m running for Governor to revive that.

NOW - White House's Leavitt: "Our nation was a nation founded, 250 years ago almost, on Judeo-Christian values."

@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
English
@lurking2472 @MattBruenig @mattyglesias Yeah it’s just a question of whether the scribes moved up or down the abstraction ladder
English
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!
English
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
English
@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
English
@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 :(
English
@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.
English
Normies: "Well, we lost 15% of the global oil supply, so I guess the price will only rise by about 15%. It's not that bad."
Me:
English
@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!
English
@doodlebugstinks @phl43 @marginletter I have 9 pizzas and 10 people to feed; 1 person will die. How high will the price go and what is the chance someone stabs another to take their pizza?
English
@phl43 @marginletter This is a surprising answer because your tweet implies you should definitely say some number much higher than 15% and explain why
English
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.

@TransSplendor @thebadstats Why would you think he is mocking him?

@thebadstats are you mocking him?
Cuz he sounded shaky and scripted.

With disappointment and resentment I am chagrined to report I also just used starlink on an airplane and it was amazing and seamless and I also couldn’t believe it was free.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
Starlink is actually that good

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
English
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
English
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.

@pasta_nachos @KolozsyShawn @GovPritzker Bullsht. Stupid libtard. He's destroying the state. Or are you a bot in China or Russia? A regular human can't be so stupid.

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.

@MattBruenig @robeiae @damintoell @simonw Very funny to watch Matt, a usually smart guy, have his brain one-shotted by AI because he made a somewhat cheaper developing labor law.
English
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.
