Look it’s one thing to arrest illegal Immigrants; wouldn’t be my priority, but, whatever. But rounding up and humiliating foreign nationals of an allied nation who were here TO BUILD A FACTORY? How irredeemably stupid can you be?

The importance of taste & judgement will be paramount for many jobs as AI lets people tap into the "average of the internet" level of skill How you stand out will be in how you apply taste (something the average of the internet will NEVER impart) to make something special
The most important skill for a researcher is not technical ability. It's taste. The ability to identify interesting and tractable problems, and recognize important ideas when they show up. This can't be taught directly. It's cultivated through curiosity and broad reading.

This week, the FCC took a critical step toward strengthening U.S. national security by moving to revoke recognition of foreign testing labs with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). These labs have long played a behind-the-scenes role in certifying U.S. communications
NEW The FCC has identified 7 test labs that are apparently owned or controlled by China. Up to now, these labs have been authorized to review electronics headed for the U.S., including national security checks. We’re now taking action to kick bad labs out of the U.S. system.
