The Right doesn't stick together. That's our biggest problem by far. Conservatives are quick to denounce each other, jump on dogpiles, disavow, attack their allies. I said a few weeks ago that we all need to band together in the wake of Charlie's death and the answer I got back

While I can’t condone the use of such crude language, this is notable!
Tired of dingbat "why can't people under 35 buy a house?" mic drops and decided to make the chart I couldn't find anywhere. "Declining marriage" isn't the complete answer, but it's the most important part of the story.

AI chatbots are literally killing kids - telling them to commit suicide and coaching them through it. Time to ban chatbot companions for minors and require the chatbots to disclose to everyone they’re not professionals, not counselors, not human

We have our top mathematicians – MIT, Harvard, Princeton – developing the most sophisticated algorithms and leveraging billion-dollar datacenters with gigawatts of energy to deliver the most insane pornography that would KILL a medieval peasant on exposure, single-handedly

A minority of adults believe that it's weird to put hope in children and find meaning in becoming a parent. They are infected with a hyper-individualism, a bad anthropology that holds autonomy as the only good. They are overrepresented in the media and academia.

“as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our ‘treat adult users like adults’ principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.”
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have

Has anyone written a good think piece on why this (cf HBO Max and many other cases) keeps happening?

Management consulting firms exist largely as middlemen to supply Ivy League talent to boring firms that would otherwise be too low-prestige to attract them
