Unpopular opinion: 4% is a low GDP growth rate. If we get out of our own way and unleash American ingenuity we can grow substantially faster. This is about moving from a permission-based economy to a free-to-build economy.
GDP growth is currently an outstanding 3.9%, and AI is 40% of that. It’s easy for politicians to posture and grandstand by beating up on tech. But the real question is whether they want 4% growth rates or 2% growth rates.

We're building scientists another way forward
@kevinroose @hamandcheese US Gov: "Universities are hopelessly woke and should be burned to the ground. Let's cut the NSF research budget by 50%, including computer science. Industry doesn't need new PhDs anyway, right? Everything that needed to be invented has already been invented, right?"
