"intellectual squatters" is good
Replying to @jd_pressman
Which, anyone who infers they're unserious from this is making a basically correct inference? They certainly don't act serious, they're essentially intellectual squatters on the section of latent space where people who are willing to update and practice epistemic virtue could be.
pretty funny to read these now
Isn't "containment tech" just "security"?
It's non-trivial to keep security up to date, but OpenAI was barely trying (and Anthropic seems to have been putting better processes in place the past few months).
Isn't "hooking that uninterpretable machine up to something important and letting it rip" what we do every single time we assign an important task to a human?
Replying to @ArlieColes
And once someone understands that, it's completely reasonable for them to ask, "why are you hooking that uninterpretable machine up to something important and letting it rip then?" and we had better have an answer, in the various things we build, that inspires confidence!

Zelensky, EU elites, NAFO, Russian nationalists, Reddit, and Blue Anon all vehemently oppose the Ukraine peace plan - which all suggests it hits the mark.

Zohran showed me the tweet. He said "sir, look at FDR & LaGuardia. They completely overlapped." And we looked into Alexander's tweet very strongly. FDR, the vaults, they did great things. We took tremendous pictures. And we're going to do that. 'My little LaGuardia', I call him
An unfortunate contrast between Mamdani and LaGuardia — on whom I’ve seen many pin their hopes for a new left-wing mayor — is that LaGuardia’s mayoralty completely overlapped with FDR’s presidency.
LaGuardia was able to achieve a lot of great things because he had a friendly fellow New Yorker in the White House. Mamdani would have another native New Yorker in the White House, true, but not one who’s amenable to expanding social democracy.

What people don’t realize about Trump is that before being subscribed to any ideology he is a Desi Uncle at heart who meets someone like Mamdani and his first thought is, “I wish my chud bastard son Don Jr. had this type of authentic swag.”

See footnote 1 on the first page of AI-2027 website, it used to be after '...best guess about what that might look like' but we moved it to the frikken title to be more clear. I also mentioned this in various interviews iirc.

South Africa was easy to focus on because it had a race-based political system.
Rhodesia had racial equality and so everyone (including contemporaries) pretends it never happened.
Even Boomer Americans who knew about it treat it as taboo.

It's very obvious why: Rhodesia was a race-blind democracy in Africa that had the highest living standards for both whites and blacks.
It's not just about Africa. It suggests that good government requires further restricting the franchise.
I have a better understanding now of why compensated emancipation plans were unpopular in the antebellum and during-the-war South.
87% on $44/task is really, really impressive.
o3 was spending > $1000 to do ~90%.

Just tried my wife’s project. It’s a try-on tool, and honestly it’s the most realistic one I’ve seen.
