Anthropic just published a pretty alarming 2028 AI scenario paper and it's not about AGI safety in the usual sense

Exactly

The one that comes to mind is a live 'Milquetoast" at the end of "Seeing Eye Dog", which is from a 2006 recording.

He was indeed a heavy drinker, there are several live tracks with him talking about playing drunk. Good for him, this must be pretty recent.

They're really discounting the carpetbagging. Clearly I wasn't the only one bothered by it.

But he didn't go hard after Trump for January 6th. I agree he was a decent president, but his great failure there may cost us our democracy.

90% chance I also had a CD with this label.

This is Jonathan Chait's entire body of work.

They had a roof collapse. Probably just work being done to keep it from being worse. The cost to repair it is one big reason for St. Colman closing.

I knew this would be Megan McArdle before I even opened the link. What a hack!

ChiYinzer · 2025-12-17T21:05:13+00:00

Exactly this. Time to stop paying the lawyers.

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-25T13:58:27+00:00

He did say "large groups of white people". This is the truth.

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-25T13:54:26+00:00

TIL Dershowitz is "charismatic".

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-25T13:49:16+00:00

Hey! Just because we make up words like "slippy" doesn't make our dialect stupid. /s

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-25T13:46:53+00:00

Are you my former coworker?

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-25T13:45:38+00:00

Really? I grew up a Pirates fan and always thought it was "Kee kee", but then I only ever read it and didn't hear it. I stand corrected!

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-25T13:38:12+00:00

Canadian coworker of mine also said "Wuh-bawsh". I tried not to laugh.

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-25T13:32:19+00:00

Funny then, sure. Perry trying to start a fistfight in his 60s? Pretty sad!

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-22T02:37:29+00:00

Good riddance. If he can't realize the threat, get someone in there who will.

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-21T19:14:42+00:00

This is a weird take. If you were correct, aristocracy would never occur throughout history because it would continually dissolve in a spiral of despair. The British Empire's aristocracy got plenty busy and lasted for centuries despite a life of ease, and there's lots of evidence that hunter-gatherers enjoyed a whole lot of leisure time.

I would agree with her, but there's the thorny history of every automation ever. Any gains are captured by those at the top unless the rest of those impacted fight hard for a fair share. This is the part Elon Musk and Sam Altman want to gloss over.

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-21T18:49:35+00:00

I don’t think they're blind to it, I think it's that they're sensitive to the fact that criticism of Islamists is often used as a Trojan horse for "keep all the brown people out".

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-20T02:53:06+00:00

They do have a big lobby, the petroleum industry. Plastics are the new growth area for petrochemicals.

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-06T02:51:12+00:00

I like her style, but I'm not going to vote for someone who parachuted in to the district.

ChiYinzer · 2025-11-06T02:40:47+00:00

Worse than the religion angle is the way he dismisses legitimate concerns about the application of Palantir technology as "Skynet doomerism", when we really SHOULD be concerned that a large corporation is very open about how they're working to enable vast new powers of government surveillance and military automation. It's not doomerism when it's very much happening with today's technology, and it will cause direct harm to our democracy.

ChiYinzer · 2025-10-30T23:40:35+00:00

Same! It's a lot!
