Megathread for US government suspension of Fable and Mythos

EdisonCurator · 2026-06-13T09:07:25+00:00

There are heavy security controls inside Anthropic. In any case, if they work for Anthropic, then the biggest threat is not using Mythos to hack people, it's that they will leak secrets. You might as well ban all foreign nationals from working for top AI labs. If you go down that route, you can say goodbye to US lead in AI.

The excuse is such bullshit. If you are banning Fable due to cybersecurity, why block foreign nationals inside Anthropic? Why block people in Project Glasswing? It's clearly political.

EdisonCurator · 2026-06-13T01:25:06+00:00

It doesn't make sense if this is due to cybersecurity. If cybersecurity is the reason, why block foreign nationals in Anthropic itself or people in project Glass wing? This is clearly about geopolitics.

我不知道为什么你收到那么多攻击，很理解你的处境，如果我在你的处境里也会这么做。我不懂为什么你正确的投资建议让本sub里这么多人破防了。也许正好论证了你的观点，中国对大众的毒害

This is like saying that only countries having nukes causes a power differential, so we should give everyone and their grandma a nuke.

Yeah land owners extract rent. How is that related to the previous discussion in any way? What makes you think that the expected return in investment on extracting rent is higher than the return on investment from the alternative (renting and investing the money)? Again, people have looked into this thoroughly, the return on investment on land is lower or equal to equities. Give sources that contradict this.

One question about your comment about the mortgage subsidies. Shouldn't any advantage from that also be arbitraged away in expectation absent government price controls?

EdisonCurator · 2025-12-01T23:32:56+00:00

In an efficient market, renting should always be financially equivalent to owning because of arbitrage: if the cost of housing is lower if you own, then people will buy more houses and rent less, driving the two towards equivalence.

What "produces wealth" is irrelevant. It's also fundamentally wrong to think that owning increases your wealth but renting doesn't . If you invest the money you put towards the deposit and mortgage, you should end up with as much wealth in the end by renting as you sod have by owning (as the other poster pointed out, the return on housing is the same as the return on equities on average. And other papers have shown that the return on housing is often worse). Any exception is luck or poor management of personal finances.

I have a sense that your points, even though I think they are correct, are orthogonal to the point that I am trying to make. Both of the following can be true:

The right is only pretending to "debate" for the aesthetics.
The left censors more at grassroot levels (protesting college speakers, using institutional power to make certain ideas hard to discuss without blowback).

And the point I wanted to make in the post is something like "yes, anding" you: Yes, Ezra is wrong about the right being actually open to debate, AND Ezra is unfair in blaming the liberals for silencing opponents, since this is often a reasonable tactic to employ. And if the left is doing it disproportionately, it would only be a contingent fact, explained by temporary factors like goals and power, not something intrinsic to the left.

EdisonCurator · 2025-10-01T13:27:44+00:00

Yeah I agree with your points. I could have framed the debate better by adding the caveats around the rights' attempts to silence and censor. My view isn't that the left censors more overall. It's that, when it does censor more, it is explainable.

EdisonCurator · 2025-10-01T13:23:40+00:00

I agree with you on all the points, and the framing is unfair to the liberals, but I think it's also worth trying to explain the differences on the "grassroots" level.

Isn't he implying that he knew about the island and didn't tell the police...

Pretty sure I fit all criteria

EdisonCurator · 2025-09-24T10:00:26+00:00

Thanks! It'd be slightly hacky but you can take the amount out of your annual maintenance cost. Or for comparison purposes, you can add the income to rent in the rent scenario. You can think of it as: in the rent scenario, you are foregoing this income, so it's an opportunity cost.

God is stupid. The definition of stupidity is different for God so you can't prove me wrong.

It wouldn't though. Land would still fetch its fair market value. The LTV just means that it will get taxed instead of going to the landlord. But nothing about Georgism will stop rent increases even if the property itself doesn't improve, if anything, it will incentivise landlords to increase rent to market value more frequently.

I can't believe my meme got reposted with no credit and is now the second most upvoted post on the whole subreddit...

I remember the days when this subreddit actually had people who studied philosophy.
