if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

something we have learned is that the criminal justice system, even when you’re not dragging your feet, is pretty slow - especially for complicated financial crimes, of which there are A Lot you’d better be ready to hit the ground running if you want resolution before the next election cycle

what i want out of the next two years of an at least partially democrat-controlled congress is robust dossiers on every criminal in this administration ready for relevant agency heads and state governments at 12pm on january 20, 2028. impeachments are one avenue to help build them

the worry for the frontier companies is they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place either the speed of model development continues and they can charge frontier prices but can’t amortize capex because they have to keep spending on it, or it slows and open source catches up and eats their lunch

“you should be able to be a complete asshole with impunity” is the driving force behind the republican coalition and donald trump specifically and why should we change? they’re the ones who suck

I have never ever understood this phrase because to me it has always sounded like "get a gun and you can be a complete asshole and ppl will put up with it in case you shoot them" like if you need to be armed to get ppl to be nice to you maybe you should just go fix your fucking personality chad

it won’t be that long until my children are embarrassed by their parents being openly affectionate in public and I am delighted to report that we will be embarrassing them

Ossoff is one of the very few people adequately channeling Evelyn Normielib these days the base doesn't want to hear entreaties to our better natures, they don't want to go high while the other side goes low, they want someone to come on the TV and go "these people are garbage" he's good at it

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register
