@SenWarren You are a no-talent lying ass-clown who has done 1 trillionth what Elon has done for humanity.

A 5% tax on Elon’s wealth would raise far less than you think. It would involve him selling a large number of shares at once which would tank the price. It would also be a massive chilling effect on innovation in the US. I love you on free speech, but this is idiotic economic policy.

@japan_nobunaga @elonmusk Btw, I suspected AI usage because of the sheer volume you produced. At some point, less might be more in terms of engagement.

@japan_nobunaga @elonmusk I appreciate the honesty. Grok can create content, but your ideas and style still shine through.

In a jaded world, be more like Freddy sharing his World Cup journey.

@japan_nobunaga Captain crunch! At least until it rubbed the top of my mouth raw.

@politicalmath @ZaidJilani It isn’t weird. His job is to run the information side of the op.

While I’m no fan of socialism or arbitrary confiscations of wealth, I can see why Bernie Sanders’ proposal (for the government to take a 50% stake in AI companies) resonates, including with many on the right. The CEOs of the leading AI labs have told us repeatedly that they will cause massive job loss. This is not a story that I believe, nor does the data bear it out, but this is what they have told us. Similarly, they have hyped the risks of AI without putting an equal or greater emphasis on the benefits or readily available mitigations. Conservatives have another fear. The employees of the leading labs claim to be philanthropic, but what we’ve seen is massive enrichment of NGOs advancing an agenda at odds with traditional values, fueling a revolution against our cities and communities. Soros-maxxing is not charity in our book. Anthropic and OpenAI have established themselves as Public Benefit Corporations. What could be more in the public benefit than using half the wealth generated by these companies (which trained for free on the collective knowledge of humanity) to pay down the national debt? There is no ideological bias in that philanthropy. Dario and Sam have begun to walk back their claims of massive job loss, but the damage to public trust is done, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. I could almost support the Sanders proposal as a stupidity tax. There’s just one problem. Nationalization of AI will accelerate the corporate-government fusion we’re already sliding toward. Conservatives rightly fear a Central Bank Digital Currency. They ought to be even more concerned about Central Government AI — a system with even more totalistic power over information, decision-making, and human behavior. We saw how social media was weaponized to censor conservatives (including President Trump) in the last Democrat administration. The definition of “trust & safety” expanded to mean protecting the public from supposed psychological harms, micro-aggressions, and disinformation (you know, like hearing conservative ideas or true facts about Covid). That “safety” agenda as applied to AI will be vastly more powerful and Orwellian. AI won’t just moderate posts; it will curate reality — with the ability to rewrite history, enforce ideological conformity, influence policy at scale, mass surveil Americans, and condition the benefits of the many systems it controls on approved behavior. America won’t win the AI race if we beat China but end up with a CCP-style social credit system in the U.S. — and that is the danger as the government becomes more deeply involved in AI development and assumes direct ownership and control. Conservatives are right to fear where this is all headed but ought to think more carefully about how regulations they are flirting with now (that are widely celebrated among those with a long history of lust for Big Government) will be used against them the next time a Democrat administration is in power.

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America. This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

"Scientists": We think it's fine to unleash a bioweapon on the population because of our politics People: ::people respond angrily and with venom:: "Scientists": Oh noes, teh backlash Me: A real backlash would involve ropes, stakes, honey, and an anthill. Keep going like this and see how long it takes to get there.

Here's some free, unsolicited advice for @spencerpratt. If they haven't already, you will soon be bombarded by professional losers portraying themselves as brilliant consultants your campaign just cannot do without. Tell them to go pound sand. You need to do something radically different, not marginally, which is nothing they can offer you, otherwise you will obviously lose in spectacular fashion and just end up the latest guy who got everyone's hopes up. California is littered with campaigns like this. Don't be afraid to be different, to do things all media and the professional loser class will laugh at, because that's what it will take to make a go at this thing. You'll need to talk to people the right never talks to, go into neighborhoods the right dares not ever venture, and it's going to make a lot of people uncomfortable. But doing that and more is your only hope to not waste your time and energy. Use organizations who supported the president like 10xVotes (if they are even willing to do it), rather than paying shitty GOP door-knocker companies that will never walk the neighborhoods you need to visit. It would also be the best, most effective way to build a ballot curing and chasing operation this late in the game. If you thought it was a rushed process and the city was big before Round 1 of the Jungle Primary, wait until they start drumming you in Round 2. Despite big talk from everyone, it is the unsung orgs who have been most successful in breaking the social stigmas and barriers that come with trying to reach out to new demographics, aka realignments. Bottom line: do not do anything Republicans would instinctively do or run a playbook even remotely close to the one they run.

True. Now why did Tom Brady consistently have good defenses to work with? Obviously Belichick deserves a lot of credit. Brady also restructured his contract multiple times to be team friendly. The others did the opposite. No shade to them, but it caused them to leave wins on the table.

@TheDA53 Seriously? You just said caps ruins competitiveness? Every major sport but MLB has a cap. The only thing different in MLB is that the randomness allows lower spending teams to sometimes compete with higher spending teams.

@JoeGoodberry Until the Super Bowl.

@anymanfitness By that logic, there’s no point in doing anything fun with your baby or toddler since they won’t remember it.

@politicalmath Smart + rational != wise. At least not always and often not even most of the time.

Why are are Spencer Pratt's political ads the best in the history of the game? Because AI is fake, but LA progressive politics is faker. The medium is the message.

@WarPigsChief I am generally pro-player but I think the MLBPA is pro-highest paid at the expense of the rank and file.

They keep trying to date the breakdown as late in his presidency as possible, preserving a stretch of hypothetical legitimacy and competence, because in fact it happened before he took office.
