My thoughts exactly. The first order benefits of social media accumulate to the most talented and driven zoomers, but the second order benefits in health, prosperity, and comfort are distributed to everyone.

Hard for an egalitarian society to accept that, especially in kids.

Did you guys know there's 24-author paper by EAs, for EAs, about how Totalitarianism is absolutely necessary to prevent AI from killing everyone?

Let's go through it together 🧵 Image This is a beautiful paper. It is beautiful because it is a bunch of people starting from the EA position about existential risk and independently coming to the conclusion that total authoritarianism is necessary.

A day before its release, I review @RichardHanania's The Origins of Woke. It's a meticulous history of how the Civil Rights regime came into being. Equally as important, it's a blueprint for a conservatism which wins. 🧵(1/29) Image Many conservative conservations eventually come to the doomer question: are conservative losses because conservatives just made poor choices, or because the rules of the game are rigged against them?

So what was this allegory about? It's about how anti-tech people have been making the same arguments about everything, for centuries. And it's about why apocalypse matters. 🧵(1/13) https://t.co/j6TnUTflWk
Despite the medieval context, many people pattern matched this story to capitalism. Why? It's a parallel to the cold war! (2/13)

Since I can post newsletter links again, time to do a summary of my time at NatCon UK 🧵

ChatGPT: The Good, the Bad, and the Woke

A thread of the major takeaways from my investigation into evidence of intentional biasing of ChatGPT Preliminary: As I wrote in print articles that will hopefully be out tomorrow, OpenAI publicly admits to
1. ) biasing data towards "reputable sources" (read: legacy)
2. ) having a content filter which takes partisan stands on usses of sex, race, and sexual orientation
