This was disappointing to read. If the main community space for AI safety is the same one that people are feeling wary of visiting due to the bleed through of more sexual/edgy events, then this comment reads as deliberately obtuse at best. At worst this reads as “I will always prioritize expanding the sexual culture of my group over other concerns, like AI safety”

It looks like its going to be between the two of them.

I'm having trouble to understand your first principles of war. when the two most active conflicts right now, Ukraine and Iran, survivability is defining the battlefield just as much as lethality, and all sides are dug in and more US planes are hit sitting idle on runways than in the air ? In what future conflict do you see first principles of blitz maneuver more than mass air battles that the ability to survive them define the battle just as much as to carry them out ? Our US bases are extremely exposed and when we talk about hermetically protecting assets rather than relying on interceptor stockpiles - when you read war history WW1 and 2 the protective standing positions of C2 , manufacturing and position is equally if not more crucial to continuity and dominance. Also existing US doctrine builds in protected positions for HIMARS. Your remark is actually a good opportunity to discuss a larger issue: we're so focused on lethality that we neglect survivability, and it's leaving us badly exposed.

We’re launching the Army of Robots. In 2022, we launched the Army of Drones. Today, drones account for over 95% of battlefield strikes, and Ukraine has more than 700 UAV manufacturers. Now we need the next technological breakthrough: the robotization of warfare. The goal is simple — save lives. Robots should take on the most dangerous missions: evacuating the wounded, delivering ammunition, mining and demining, reconnaissance, defending positions and engaging targets. The Army of Robots is not one company. It’s an ecosystem. We will invest in defense tech companies, launch our own technology projects, test them with the military and scale what works on the battlefield. We’re now looking for defense tech companies and engineers working on robotic technologies — as well as a CTO / Tech Lead for the Army of Robots. Join us: thearmyofrobots.com/en

Okay. I’ll take the bait. I went to work for Peter in 2013 with opposite politics. He sat me down right at the beginning. PETER: “I don’t want the (Thiel) Foundation to do good that the market can do. That is the job of the market. Likewise, I don’t want to do the good work that is seen as good. That work can be done by people richer, weaker and more needy of approval than we are. I want us to do only the work that is *deeply* good but somehow confused for being evil, because that is the work of the courageous and the strong. We strive to be both and that is where a small foundation can make the greatest positive difference. Go look for such good and let’s do that. But remember. Good has TWO different antonyms. What is “bad work”? It could be seen as shoddy work. Or it could be seen as evil work. And we can’t do shoddy work. Why? Because evil that isn’t competent never gets to be evil. It’s just pathetic. So we have to be exceptionally competent at the good work which we do to make sure it is always confused for evil.” I thought it totally logical. So that’s the argument. And that’s classic Peter. This is an old idea of his. And now you know.

Every year @BritishProgress asks Britain's top economists and policy researchers what the UK should do to increase growth. 🚨 As covered exclusively for @thetimes this morning, the 2026 growth survey results are now in! 🚨 This was our biggest survey yet with over 100 responses. 📉 The bad news: Britain's public finances, with inflation hit by external shocks, are in a bad state. 📈 The good news: the UK is not without options. There is much that can be done on the supply side reforms, & smarter fiscal policy can raise revenue while supporting growth. Here are the 12 most interesting results 👇 *1. Where should the government prioritise spending political capital?* We asked "In what areas should the Government invest more (or less) political capital to achieve growth?" NB this was explicitly not a question about spending – that's the next one.

This Kalshi ad is among the most dystopian ones I’ve seen from any betting app

Palmer Luckey predicts the next great warfighting domain is subterranean, with vehicles moving through the crust of the earth "Everyone says that I'm nuts for this, and I'm going to keep saying it because it is true. The U.S. used to believe this. The Soviets used to believe this. Both countries were working on subterrenes, so vehicles that could move through the crust of the Earth." "A lot of people, when you say subterranean, what that currently means is fighting in tunnels, fighting in trenches, fighting in collapsed-in buildings or bunkers." "I am talking about the real deal, no-shit subterrene fight, where you are using the crust of the earth as a three-dimensional maneuver and battle space, and you have vehicles moving through it, people moving through it, supplies moving through it, and you could have fights that are fought entirely in this domain or using this domain to hit things on the surface, in the air, and subsea." "And there are a lot of things that have happened that make it a lot more viable." _____ Source: AIAA
