In the future, we're going to look back on AI Seinfeld clips the way we look back on lolcats now, and I'm just happy to be here for the peak.

I don’t think the political apparatus of either party truly understands how much the US economy depends on AI succeeding.
If the US AI growth story slows or stops, we will have a global macro crisis. The debt burden cannot be fixed without major reforms, which are politically unpalatable.
The market is sending a warning today…

Ok, also in Deutschland ist direkt von AliExpress bestellen offiziell tot?
Hier wollte ich Lautsprecher bestellen, die einfach kein Händler in Deutschland hat.
Dafür soll ich dann halt bestraft werden, mit Abgaben, die den Warenwert deutlich überschreiten.
Das heißt dann wohl: wenn es in Deutschland nicht hergestellt wird (beinahe alles) oder Amazon es nicht hat, dann sollst Du es nicht haben.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Democrats face a push for a “day 1” ban on AI superintelligence, with up to 20 YEARS in prison for violators.
Arizona Rep. Yassamin Ansari says a pause on advanced AI and a ban on artificial superintelligence must be “top of the Democratic agenda on day 1.”
A bill that would do exactly that was introduced by Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar in September.
Under the bill:
- Developing or deploying superintelligent AI would be banned
- Advanced AI development would pause until a new federal regulator sets rules and a model review process
- A new cabinet-level AI department would monitor frontier models and oversee removing dangerous capabilities, like ignoring shutdown commands
- Companies that try to get around it would face the “corporate death penalty”
- Individuals would face up to 20 years in prison
AI and data centers were a “crucial or major factor” for 56% of voters in the midterms, per an NBC News exit poll.

High-income workers are fleeing Europe.
Economic theory tells us that the more
mobile a factor of production becomes,
the lower its optimal tax rate. This is why taxes on capital, which is relatively mobile, tend to be lower than taxes on labor, which historically has been less mobile.
However, as the chart below shows, as elite human capital has become more footloose, high taxes have become increasingly counterproductive.
This is a huge existential problem for European welfare states, which have traditionally relied on heavily taxing their most productive workers.

Gebührenpaket mit Gratis-Beilage
Eine Handyhülle auf Temu kostet 1,99 Euro. Ein Schnäppchen, könnte man meinen. Seit diesem Monat sieht die Rechnung allerdings so aus.
Handyhülle 1,99 €
+ EU-Bearbeitungsgebühr 2,00 €
+ EU-Zollpauschale 3,00 €
+ Österreichische Paketabgabe 2,00 €
= 8,99 €
Und da ist die Umsatzsteuer noch gar nicht eingerechnet. Schon ohne sie macht die Hülle nicht einmal ein Viertel des Endpreises aus. Die Gebühren kosten mehr als das Dreifache der Ware. Wer zur Hülle noch ein Ladekabel bestellt, zahlt Zollpauschale und Bearbeitungsgebühr gleich doppelt. Abgerechnet wird nämlich pro Warenart und nicht pro Paket.
Drei neue Abgaben in vier Monaten. Und wer glaubt, damit nur Temu und Shein zu treffen, irrt. Die Paketabgabe fällt auch an, wenn Sie bei Amazon oder Zalando bestellen. Am Ende zahlt also wie immer der Kunde.
