It is hard to overstate how poorly things are going for AI safety. We do not know how to make this tech compatible with human safety, let alone flourishing. Even if we solved that tech problem, politicians currently actively oppose implementing any solutions. thezvi.substack.com/p/the-paris-...

The reaction to Deepseek is so silly. It would be like if people watched the Fosbury Flop for the first time and concluded: “haha, that certainly proves high jumpers don’t need to spend so much time developing their physiques!”

I am just sad at how many otherwise thoughtful people are happy to knowingly support and enrich a Nazi.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Is all of this Greenland stuff just because Donald Trump Junior watched the diplomat season two, and didn’t understand the threat model was Russia?

Did you wake up today and think to yourself, "Boy would I LOVE to read 12,000 words about a law whose repeal could be on the short list for most positive things a Trump adminstration might actually do"? Well then do I have some good news for you! thezvi.substack.com/p/repeal-the...

Using tariffs as blackmail against our closest allies reveals two clear deficiencies in Trump thought. First, he tries to compete instead of cooperate because he can’t imagine win/win strategies. Second, he thinks of direct first-step consequences and not longer term equilibria.

Looking for a public company with <$500bn valuation poised to benefit the most from wanton graft and corruption in the White House. Any and all suggestions welcome.

What do you call it if the Federal Government extinguishes hundreds of billions of dollars of Fannie and Freddie debt that it owns, in order to enrich owners of more junior Fannie and Freddie debt, who are friends with the President?

Ditching Twitter for Bluesky went so well that I’m gonna trade in my old model three for a @rivianofficial.bsky.social R1S. Test drive last week, loved the drive! Can’t wait to take it up to the trails.

Amazing framing here: "Trump and his allies believe the FBI system is slow and plagued with issues that could stymie the president-elect’s plan to quickly begin the work of implementing his agenda" Just say it! You don't think your picks can pass a background check. www.cnn.com/2024/11/15/p...

Gee before Mike Johnson wanted to hide it, I was hoping that the report might simply exonerate Gaetz of any wrongdoing. Shocking development.

Great to see Vanderbilt hoops play with such energy and awareness under Mark Byington last night. 18 steals against Cal! A much more fun team to watch than most recent years. Kudos to the Tennessean for good local coverage of the team. www.tennessean.com/story/sports...
