This by @matteowong.bsky.social is an important coda to the sliver of Silicon Valley embracing Trump. The bigger contingent dismissing the danger of his policies because (1) everything but AGI is irrelevant, (2) we have people are in the Administration. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Our American new normal: you need to make $2.5 million per year to be "rich", and a 40% marginal rate is "high taxes." And suggeting something like that is asking too much. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/u...

I agee w Patrick. (We lived in China at same time, diff on many things, agree here.) Chinese leaders always reckoned with the vast depth of US strength. Institutions, networks, expertise. Now, in cold-blooded rather than triumphalist mode, they recognize they're dealing with nuts and clowns.
