Lowkey hilarious how it looked promising during Obama’s years then down only during Trump’s first term, then sideways during Biden and then a sharp decline again in Trump’s second term
he is such a cartoonish cliché of an end of an empire leader that if it were a movie you’d criticize it for being hyperbolic

Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner: “This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will. We will find you. We will achieve justice.” (2026)

This is the most laughable bullshit of all time. Putting aside ignoring the clear language of the amendment, there isn't a chance in Hell that this should be permitted through an executive order. This is John Eastman level dishonesty.

As I write in @BLaw today, most of the conventional wisdom around the Birthright Citizenship debate is wrong. Originalism compels agreement w/ @realDonaldTrump and @RandyEBarnett @kurtlash1 @ilan_wurman news.bloombergtax.com/tax-insights-a…

The overriding fact about the American economy in the past 4 decades is the massive upward redistribution of wealth and income. Therefore opposition to higher taxes on the rich from Govs. Newsom & Hochul is intellectually and empirically indefensible.

Lawyers are not trained historians. Originalism is largely and remains largely bullshit. The hubris that backs it leads to nonsense arguments that ignore the plain, unambiguous language of a statue. These professors want to will more bullshit in furtherance of their careers.

Another high profile law professor weighs in on the side of text, history, and tradition for understanding the upcoming Birthright Citizenship case. @RobLutherLawyer writes that the Original understanding of the citizenship clause tracks President Trump's Executive Order

@cypherhat @davidclowery @andybassfordgtr Do real estate. Or, manufacturing. Compare tangible assets to intangible assets. More “employees”? More “revenue”? More globalization? Per capita spend is one measure; but, it’s not an argument to deny creatives their rights to by consent decree or inconsistent “accounting”.
English
@davidclowery @moskowitz @andybassfordgtr The technology creates scale and extended copyright duration determines who captures that scale, and for how long.
English
What long term good is gained by AI companies having free access to my songs and catalog? Does the world not have enough recordings and songs? Does it cure cancer? You haven’t told me why it’s in anyone’s interest? Yet you seem to be relentlessly advocating for it. Or at least excusing the rapacious behavior. So hence I’m assuming that you have some sort of quasi religious outcome in mind. It feels like eschatology.
Jeff@cypherhat
@davidclowery I think you argue from a assumptive position: that I am an AI utopian? I am not. My argument is more about mechanism design - power laws are unavoidable, so fix the timing of the engine: AI benefits from the capture of catalogs due to copyrights being long term assets.

@cypherhat @davidclowery @andybassfordgtr “◦Projections have estimated as many as 600 million global musicians, including amateurs and professionals, with 50% active.

English
@moskowitz @davidclowery @andybassfordgtr That is just me citing evidence that the number of working musicians halved (per capita) over the century.
My claim is that reduction in the number of musicians is ONE measure of some "mechanism" being anti-artist.
My assertion is that the main mechanism is copyright length.

@cypherhat @davidclowery @andybassfordgtr Ok: but your data doesn’t support other data:

It's has been tested and shown now that "AI" is less than 1% - in fact less than 0.4% - on its way towards Human Level Intelligence (AGI).
Please share to help stop the AI industry hype and the lies that are damaging our societies.

Humans: 100% Gemini 3.1 Pro: 0.37% GPT 5.4: 0.26% Opus 4.6: 0.25% Grok-4.20: 0.00% François Chollet just released ARC-AGI-3 -- the hardest AI test ever created. 135 novel game environments. No instructions. No rules. No goals given. Figure it out or fail. Untrained humans solved every single one. Every frontier AI model scored below 1%. Each environment was handcrafted by game designers. The AI gets dropped in and has to explore, discover what winning looks like, and adapt in real time. The scoring punishes brute force. If a human needs 10 actions and the AI needs 100, the AI doesn't get 10%. It gets 1%. You can't throw more compute at this. For context: ARC-AGI-1 is basically solved. Gemini scores 98% on it. ARC-AGI-2 went from 3% to 77% in under a year. Labs spent millions training on earlier versions. ARC-AGI-3 resets the entire scoreboard to near zero. The benchmark launched live at Y Combinator with a fireside between Chollet and Sam Altman. $2M in prizes on Kaggle. All winning solutions must be open-sourced. Scaling alone will not close this gap. We are nowhere near AGI. (Link in the comments)

@cypherhat @davidclowery @andybassfordgtr This is not an argument for shortening copyright terms. In 115 years the market for music went through changes. And?
English
@moskowitz @davidclowery @andybassfordgtr Peak is ~1910, then a long compression.
That lines up almost perfectly with technology shifts:
Pre-1920 → local labor market (every town needs musicians)
Post-1920 → recording + radio = scale effects
Post-1950 → broadcast + TV
Late century → global distribution
English
@cypherhat @davidclowery @andybassfordgtr I am on point. This is the hill you are choosing to die on. You may be mistaking labels & compulsory licensing schemes with musician activity.
Cites missing: 1 “working musicians” in decline 2 “broadcast technology”? (OTA or streaming?) 3 relationship to length of copyright
English
@moskowitz @davidclowery @andybassfordgtr My point was simply that the number of working musicians has been in decline and this is an effect of broadcast technology and digitization and that is a side effect of the length of copyright.
Try to stay on point.
This isn't the ONLY side effect.
English
@cypherhat @davidclowery @andybassfordgtr So. What is the income stream based on? Is it work for hire? Is it their own copyrights? Is it a gig? What difference does per capita make for identifying the income stream?
English
@moskowitz @davidclowery @andybassfordgtr A person whose trade is making music - that is their income stream.
And again, this is a per capita argument.
English
@cypherhat @davidclowery @andybassfordgtr Huh? The number of sound recordings being released has exploded. Are those not “working musicians”. What is your definition of “working musician”?

I fully agree, BUT at the same time the problems with LLMs – primarily hallucinations and sycophantic behaviour – are completely unsolved.
One of the reasons Claude is becoming more popular than ChatGPT is ALSO (other than the obvious reasons – that it just 'feels' better and solves far more tasks) that Anthropic seems to allow far more hallucinations and sycophantic behaviour to give that "smooth" feel you get with ChatGPT.
Very often Claude makes up numbers and 'facts' that do not exist. Trusting Claude and using it is far more problematic than not using LLMs at all.
Luis Garicano 🇪🇺🇺🇦@lugaricano
Microsoft Copilot and low end, old, ChatGPT have massively damaged people 's sense of what LLMs can do. I recently had a top economist from a bank explaining to me that they had done a search for a name search and for a date search, it was useless at it and they never used an AI tool again; almost everybody at the table agreed.
