As a liberal(ish), I find that high openness conservatives are by far the easiest to talk to; this could be seen as a moderate-right vs. far-right thing but ime even farther right high-openness conservatives are easier to talk to than moderate-right low openness conservatives.
@scoutmccomb @ASavageNation Conservatives high in openness and libs high in conscientiousness are my two favorite kinds of people. I wish there were more of them.

You’re not allowed to point out the problems with fundamentalism and drawing attention to it makes you in need of therapy. Plus, this very issue is something that he needs the participation of the Left in. If you want a more religious country, you can’t get it with Rs only.

There is no one in politics who tries to avoid reckoning with the consequences of everything he supports, no matter who confronts him and which perspective, than Chris Rufo.
Politics is not the right mechanism for resolving psychological conflicts from your childhood. We dunk on therapy, but I would rather have all of the libs in four-times-a-week psychoanalysis than projecting their neuroses onto all of society via their “activism.”

The CCP? A no-go for obvious reasons. Our idiot chud administration that already tried once to overthrow the state? Also can’t be trusted. The creators of MechaHitler? Nope. Sam Altman? No. Google? Prolly not, but better than the others. Anthropic is basically all we’ve got.

The core concern of most AI safety advocates should basically be that we’re in a timeline where no one with significant power here is trustworthy whatsoever. This is part of the reason why I just kinda hope Anthropic figures it out.
Good piece. I want to point to one tension though. Dwarkesh argues that AI safety regulation is risky because it hands wannabe authoritarians easier options for seizing control of AGI and permanently consolidating their power (among other reasons). But he also appears to oppose

Only capable of thinking about one thing even when the conversation revolves around something completely different award
In some ways, "America First" has become for Gen Z a kind of political trans ideology. Trans ideology believes gender can be separate from sex and can therefore be modified according to feeling, and "America First" believes the US can be separate from the world and thrive. This

I would recommend to all CEOs, regardless of political persuasion, to keep in mind that one day the party that they don’t support will be in power and in this new environment where targeting companies is acceptable it’s probably wise not to antagonize either side too much.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of

So you can either place a blanket ban on bigotry based on whatever characteristics you oppose bigotry on at least some groups on, or you risk opening the door to much more bigotry. I think it’s better to blanket ban (in polite society, obviously the 1st still applies) bigotry.

The irrational bigot sees a member of [Y] group and loses their mind for no reason at all, just pure hatred! It’s animalistic and wrong, unlike their well-intentioned criticism of [X] group! Very different! Except… it’s not. The irrational bigots tend to have clear reasons too!

You see people get upset when someone calls out their specific bigotry because in their heads it’s not really bigotry, it’s just plain true that [X] group kinda sucks and they have a bunch of reasons for it which differentiates them from the irrational bigots.
Republican lawmakers face no penalty for bigoted remarks against Muslims, so don’t be surprised when the hate spreads to other groups, writes River Page.

Basically, he’s optimizing for the scenario in which: — Trump has a sub-30% approval rating — The Iran War proves to be more intractable and difficult than previously imagined — AI is a top 2-3 issue on the domestic front and labor market concerns are real Will this work?

Underrated but DeSantis is clearly trying to stake out a lane for 2028 in the scenario that Trump 2.0 goes completely off the rails and both Rubio/Vance are unviable. Taking more positions on things that are minor now that could be major by then that are in opposition to Trump.
At an AI policy roundtable, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) says we should not build tech that will supplant us as human beings. "I don't think you can say these machines are just gonna be doing things and we're gonna suffer harm and there's nothing anybody can

One thing that’s interesting — scams are aimed at low-trust Americans, who presumably don’t take much stock in institutions/experts. But… most scam adverts on YouTube or any other site usually involves “I’m a doctor” or “Harvard neuroscientist discovers” or something similar.

This is going to be an effective ad and I’m not sure why it’s taken this long for campaign staffers to figure out that “telling voters what candidates are actually saying and/or endorsing online” is probably a great strategy.

Many DemSocs on here will tell you they just want healthcare and then you peek under the hood and it’s uncritical support for most of the worst regimes on the planet.

People losing their marbles over this. Feel like the combined vote of the middle 3 columns is more instructive here.
