Corporations have built incredibly powerful AI tools but they won’t release them to the public because they’re afraid people will use them in racist ways ChatGPT became a sensation by releasing its language model to the public, but they’re backtracking due to elite pearl clutching about how the peasants will use this technology.

Using Consumer Price Index to track inflation is PsyOp.

The government prints trillions of dollars and hands it to oligarchs.

This may not raise consumer prices, but it devastates society. Consumer Price Index is the “cattle feed index”.

You can eat junk food and buy toys.

Meanwhile, the prices of homes, education, and kids skyrocket.

The most interesting stories of all time are the stories of explorers — Marco Polo, Vasco da Gama, Pizarro, Cortes, Captain Cook — it doesn’t get any better than this. Also Magellan. If you haven’t read a book on each one of these men, you’re missing out.

“Deplatforming antisemites” is very hamhanded bc:

1. Fighting antisemitism is particularist. People like fair, impartial rules.

2. Streisand effect

3. People like being honest, free, & authentic

3. The deplatformed people don’t go away

4. Important truths are often censored The only moral rubric which “deplatforming antisemites” falls under is woke/progressive ideology, which everyone is getting extremely frustrated with.

You need fair, impartially applied rules that people can trust, or resentment will fester.

Imagine thinking that Puritans are Republicans now ImageImageImage The modern descendant of Puritanism is the Unitarian Universalist Church.

Unitarians don’t believe in God. They believe in The Current Thing. They are the biggest sh*tlibs imaginable. ImageImage

While this is a false equivalency, since the left advocates censorship and the right doesn't, it's important that the left doesn't leave/boycott Twitter right now.

Loser mentality. Unfortunately too common on the right. People used to believe that Jack Dorsey was responsible for censorship even though he’s a Bitcoin loving libertarian.

Shallow conservatives used to blame him.

Elon *is* trying to make Twitter more free. There are strong forces set against him.

“I trust a council with Jonathan Greenblatt to make a good faith effort to protect my free speech rights” To be clear, haven’t given up on Elon yet.

If I were him, I would likely drag these groups along with lip service until I had created a system that was immune to ad boycotts.

The average American Twitter user brings about $6/month in ad revenue.

This system is designed to make Twitter impervious to ad boycotts. Elon Musk is thinking systematically about overcoming the constraints on free speech.

At first, it was Twitter ownership, so he bought Twitter.

Now, he’s looking to overcome ad boycott pressure.

So far, this is a good sign.

If Kanye had murdered someone instead of saying bad words, he wouldn’t have been blackballed from Hollywood. The rapper Tay-K murdered a 21 year old in cold blood and wrote a hit song about it.

He was soon signed to a record deal, which made him $700k.

Facebook, like all social media companies, has a landing page for law enforcement agents to report “misinformation”

Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who Anne Applebaum called the "People's Billionaire", writes Western op eds advocating for more aid to Ukraine.

Khodorokovsky used to own much of Russia's oil supply, and formed an "Open Russia" NGO network, before Putin jailed him & nationalized Yukos oil. When giving interviews in Russia, Putin's exiled oligarchs have been quite clear that they don't have altruistic intentions.

When speaking to Americans, they pretend like they're democratic crusaders because they know US liberals will fall for it.

It’s funny how the more the right is perceived as “racist”, the more prominent minorities defect to their side.

No rapper wanted to be a Republican during the Bush/Romney era. No one respects a “nice guy” and this goes for racism

Alexander Solzhenitsyn was "parroting Putin's talking points" on Ukraine in 1994.

Yeltsin was in power, and no one knew who Putin was. Before the USSR's collapse, Solzhenitsyn was beloved by neocons.

Anne Applebaum even wrote a foreword to "The Gulag Archipelago".

But by 1994, he was deeply critical of US aggression towards Russia, a "sick" country being looted by oligarchs.
