If we’re going to say we have solutions for people, we have to be able to show we can provide!!!
I’m tired of the machine that is effective government sitting still and rusting.
Get up and build!

I want to see state subsidies, and tax incentives for businesses to work with the state on clearing permitting, financing, and distribution.
We need to work with education institutions to employ researchers and professionals who have lost federal funding to build out real projects for states.

They need to be accessible to everyday citizens and with no prescription or a low-barrier Telehealth program.
If we say we stand for these communities, we should do the bare minimum and give them what they need to live and not die.

This was because the reversal of chevron didn’t signal a preference for congressional responsibility as much as it was the judicial branch strengthening its power as a third agent in this bargaining system.

Even while expanding its use, the executive’s ability to operate under the trade expansion acts of the early 60s was never really challenged, and the executive was given broad leeway. But now with the end of chevron that likely wouldn’t last.

This was about the problems of “On the Optimal Delegation of Policy-Making” by Dovis, Kirplani, and Sublet (2024).

I’ve been saying for years we should get Newfoundland. But not in a 51st state way, just have Canada make a special tranny economic zone.
Imagine all the tech (and other) companies you could get running if you’re hoping to acquire American talent.

I agree mostly, but I think you’re mixing the order.
Platforms of any type, physical or digital never start out with a discussion and solving a problem, they merely create niches within the group, compete for attention under their new paradigm and deterritorialize.
If you build it they will cum.

Manipulated is a very abstract concept, it assigns maliciousness when what’s happening would likely just be reward hacking and disregarding certain externalities

Having productivity jump is a good thing, wild.
Reducing the costs of production is a good thing, wild.
Leftists just need to focus less on proceduralism when it comes to unions, protectionism, “seizing the means of production”, and technological disruption, and focus on distributional problems.

But ultimately I imagine more a fusion between the state and companies to happen for natl security and labor reasons. This will likely end the level of liability that can be assigned to these AIs. In its stead I imagine something more along the lines of workman’s comp as the end compromise.

The problem is how do you show it was the AI that caused the problem and identify where in that chain liability should be placed?
What if it was the way a prompt was worded by the user, designed to create a malicious outcome, was it the companies fault?
I agree that companies should be liable tho.

In line with this, the protective security umbrella of nations before AGI should be leveraged to ensure that AI can flourish without foreign interference, in exchange for the nation receiving board seats and a large share in these companies.
This is AI sociopolitical alignment.

But, we need to ensure that with this bargain that people reap the rewards, in the next 1-3 years before AGI we only have a small window to ensure that entrenchment doesn’t happen, governments and citizens, as owners of the land and energy infrastructure should get a major share in these companies.

With the competition between firms and nations we’re likely to see increased international competition around AI, with demands for lowering regulations around building compute and allowing AI into areas with liability concerns.
We should allow this, and fund infrastructure as well as integration.

Jobs which can be effectively eliminated with AI should, we cannot have another long shoreman scenario where we prevent modernization.
However, plans for the benefits for modernization and displacement to labor should improve distributional benefits to everyone, and in particular those displaced.

Essentially, as inhuman capital’s ROI will outstrip those of human capital, decreases in average human capital will happen, while the very top end will see a rapid explosion.
Even in a world where the alignment problem is solved and those at the bottom remain, the pressures causing this remain.

We have not and will not likely be able or willing to solve the distributional problem of post-human labor, and only a small percentage of the population will exist to grow their human capital necessary to drive growth in a world dominated by inhuman capital.

This is not to say that everyone will lose out, I think this moment will be like the early 80s with regards to income and capital accumulation then, where a small percentage (those who currently have capital and have high human capital) will be able to accrue the gains due to the end of human labor.
