I get the point that's trying to be made here, but it's actually inaccurate. The *MAJORITY* of actual practitioners in the tech industry have a position that is neither of these, it's merely getting drowned out by these two loud positions. The most common belief in the tech industry is simple:

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated:

If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.

If you are grieving this hate merchant today, you are every conman’s mark.

I can guarantee that you will find yourself forever bewildered at how everyone you’re surrounded with takes advantage of you.

But don’t worry, at least you hate the same people, which makes it all okay, doesn’t it?

Hard to argue that 9/11 wasn’t vastly more successful than the perpetrators could possibly have dreamed. Easy to draw a straight line from that single event to the fall of American democracy we are witnessing.

Trump is uniquely degenerate as an individual, but I think when the historians are writing about this in a few centuries, they'll focus on the collapse of Congressional functionality from the 1990s onward and the growth of the security state post 9/11 as the primary motive forces behind the crisis.

Más allá del desastre narrado en el artículo, me pregunto por qué se evita hablar de la respuesta más evidente: quitar las concesiones actuales y dárselas a empresas serias, que cubran sectores amplios.

¿Cómo es eso de nada más dejar la ruta botada?

Latest article for @ForeignAffairs The US can no longer be considered a friend of democracy, as such the existing democratic states need to think strategically about protecting themselves and even starting a fightback. There is no point in pretending everything will be ok.

“There is a seeming logic behind Trump’s decision to turn away from democratic states and toward dictatorial ones: a desire to establish three spheres of influence that encompass most of the world,” writes Phillips O’Brien.
How to Build a Post-American Liberal Order
The world’s democracies must work together—and constrain Washington.
