Based on the early stats, looks like Grok 3 base is going to be a very solid frontier model (leads Chatbot Arena), suggesting pre-training scaling law continues with linear improvements to 10x compute, but no massive gains. Their unreleased reasoner does not beat o3 based on these early numbers.

Wow, I’m sure JD Vance is shocked to see the American Vice President call for jailing journalists he dislikes and will condemn this threat to free speech as forcefully as he did to European leaders this week

This thing seems to me to be most relevant: right now there are embarrassingly large chunks of the center and center-right telling themselves paper-thin feel-good stories about how this will all work out, because the alternative is the soul-crushing realization that they've enabled a tyrant.

It’s beyond perverse to read Augustine and Aquinas—let alone, the Gospels—as conditioning the duties of love and charity on citizenship and a conception of the nation-state that doesn’t gain prominence until the nineteenth century. Moreover, all three posit a law over and above the civil law.
