Accurate
EAs have all gone soft
The London special, complete with the little flavor packets that come with the instant noodles
Ah didn’t mean to cause concern; I get my fat from dessert!
I’ve been encouraged to share my dinner setup as well
Most AIS leaders cut their academic teeth during the great awokening, so I worry they overrate the importance of appealing to the left. Easy to say now of course, but I also worry this will persist despite the left's recent decline.
Biden pardoning his son helps clarify his disgraced place in history. Being the best policy admin of my life doesn't make up for gambling American democracy in a dishonest lunge for personal power. Trying to walk back the gamble was nice, but winning was the only path to redemption.
MAGA is not a monolith and... there are many other non-monoliths in the US body politic
They’re empty!
Please share the word with your liberal friends. I am on the right but believe
-Vaccines are good
-Joe Rogan cannot replace the MSM
-American elections are free and fair
-The right is increasingly a cult of personality around Trump

I lived as a single guy in central London spending £23k/yr all in fwiw — roommates and some other advantages; but wouldn’t have cracked £30k
one of my most elitist beliefs is that most people have plenty of money and are just incredibly bad with it
when I enlisted in the military I was stunned by how much I made and how easy it was to save and then a bunch of people around me spent a ton and complained about wages
This was my last week at OpenAI after ~3.5 years. I worked on API safety and then transitioned to Policy Research where I worked closely with @milesbrundage.bsky.social on AI governance, frontier policy issues, and AGI readiness.
As is tradition, here’s the message I shared on Slack:
Bulldog is here; put him on your lists weirdos
How much of this is Keanu standing still while acting standards fell through the floor?
torturing myself by reading the Marc Andreessen/Joe Rogan podcast transcript
This suggestion by Mark Cuban caught my eye; might work, certainly worth floating, but I think insufficiently cynical. Opposition to phasing out coal isn't about jobs; it isn't even, mostly, about profits. It's a front in the culture war. 1/
How can you live so close to the US and even SUGGEST that Americans would spend 40 days with family??
damn what a miss by me
The delightfully insane europeans are here, maybe this site is gonna make it
They do education for farmers and corporate buyers on best practices and buy stunners/chillers for farmers who commit to using them; also retailer commitments to only purchase non-eyestalk-ablated shrimp.
I had a pfp with hair but SOMEONE told me this one was hotter
Whatever, you and your woke eggs can enjoy your lefty echo chamber without me

1/ The event felt different than other conferences I've been to. Rather than the meeting of a tribe or a cluster of tribes around a shared idea, it was two conflicting tribes.
I would like to see more events like this.
For liberals, credible commitments to non-stupid, winning-oriented reforms and it starts with playing baby its cold outside on repeat this holiday season
John Stewart made a name showing naked contradictions/inconsistencies with receipts. Partisans excused themselves saying the same would be true if Stewart aimed at their opponents. Machines could in theory withstand that objection, but there are many degrees of freedom here.
