Then ai came for the mathematicians and there was much rejoicing.
Mathematician Terence Tao: "we have to slow down AI. the pace is insane, and there's no reason to be this fast — no reason at all" It's amazing how willing we are to change everything without any idea what happens afterward These are extremely nonlinear dynamics

When I was an undergrad doing premed, we would all study in a wing of the university that was left open for us. We consisted of two white girls (myself and my roommate), the rest were immigrants - two Indian guys (who proudly cheated their way to med school), a Pakistani, a Greek guy, a Slovakian, two Japanese girls, a Chinese girl, an Iranian, a Nigerian. That was it. Not one white guy and only two Americans. I just reposted something that said essentially “what would you think if you went to Japan and everyone was African, and when you asked where the Japanese were, you were treated like you were crazy.” Well, that’s where we are in the US, and it hasn’t happened overnight. It happened slowly and while we were paying no attention. It’s time to wake up now.
I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

There has been a focused, purposeful effort to replace Americans with foreigners in order to drive down labor costs and create new, loyal voting blocs. This has gone on for years. Reversing this will look like bigotry. Sometimes it will even BE bigotry. But reverse it we must.

"Immigrants are assimilating!" "Oh, that's really great to hear! So they're not celebrating foreign holidays anymore?" "No" "Are they no longer using welfare in disproportionate numbers?" "No" "Are they venerating our Founding Fathers?" "No" "Do they prefer American cuisine?" "No" "They're no longer benefiting from affirmative action?" "No" "Those that are business owners are trying to hire Americans first?" "No" "They've stopped caring about foreign conflicts that don't directly affect America?" "No" "Are they converting to Christianity/Judaism (which the vast majority of American's identify as)?" "No" "They've haven't set up ethnic enclaves in cities, right? "No" "Are they telling their children not to speak any language other than English outside the home (like past immigrants have)? "No" "Are they no longer sending remittances to relatives thousands of miles away?" "No" "So, they still have significant ties and affections to their home countries?" "......Yes." "Ok, how have they assimilated?" "They're watching football now, BIGOT!!!"
This post nauseates me. Do we want assimilation or not? They are wearing cowboy hats for crying out loud.

This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion. Let me show you how it works: 1.) This guy, with minimal followers and no previous account activity, goes to the Wall Street Journal which publishes an exclusive with quotes from him on his resignation 18 minutes BEFORE this post goes up. Planning was clearly done in advance. 2.) Within hours, it has tens of thousands of reposts and the account has 100k+ followers. The post is punchy, quotable, it almost seems professionally written. The first three accounts to quote tweet it all do so within 15 minutes of the initial posting. Remember, this account had basically zero engagement beforehand, so an organic reach explanation seems unlikely. According to Grok those accounts are @_NathanCalvin (General Counsel at Encode AI), @peterwildeford (Head of Policy at the AI Policy Network), and @DKokotajlo (Head of the AI Futures Project), all of which are up-and-coming AI-Doomer policy advocacy nonprofits. The AI Futures Project website says it is funded “primarily” by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which says on its own website that it has advised Jaan Tallinn, Skype creator and one of the leading investors in Anthropic, to grant over $2.5 million to the AI Futures Project since 2024. Encode AI says on its website that it is ALSO funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which in turn says that it told Anthropic investor Jaan Tallinn to grant $516,000 to Encode AI in 2025. And wouldn’t you know it, the Survival and Flourishing Fund ALSO says it told Jaan Tallinn to grant $2 million to the AI Policy Institute, the 501(c)(3) affiliate of the AI Policy Network, as well. What are the odds that the first three quote tweets of Coxon’s post would all be major AI-restriction policy advocates funded generously by the same donor, who also happens to be one of the leading investors in, and a board member of, Anthropic, the company Coxon was resigning from? And all within 15 minutes of posting (two within ten)? 3.) Jacob Coxon doesn’t have much of a resume, but we do know that, in 2022, he got a $20,159 scholarship for the “long term future scholarship program” from the Good Ventures Foundation, one of the philanthropic vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI-doomer who has spent tens if not hundreds of millions on policy advocacy to strictly regulate AI, while also being an Anthropic Investor himself. It also just so happens that the 14th person to quote Coxon’s post was @MaxNadeau_ (27 minutes after posting) who is the program officer for the Technical AI Safety team at Coefficient Giving, another of Moskovitz’s philanthropic spending vehicles. Max is not a frequent poster, his last posts before quoting Coxon were before Labor Day, but he was remarkably quick off the mark for this one. 4.) Basically every major Democrat politician and candidate has suddenly glommed on to this post, and conveniently, as the people cry out foe answers, Bernie Sanders already has a bill written to “ban super intelligence” and regulate AI into oblivion, and will be releasing later this week. The bill, among many other things, will create “a new cabinet-level federal agency to safeguard the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence” that will be “advised by an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board comprised of experts on artificial intelligence.” Do you think, perhaps, Anthropic and its many investors who fund AI policy advocacy might have interest in getting to place a pet “expert” on the board of an entity that dictates what AI is and isn’t allowed to do? And isn’t it fortuitous that this whistleblower came forward with his oh-so scary stories so close in proximity to the release of the most radical piece of AI legislation ever introduced?
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

A fun thing I learned this weekend is that even though I pay for everyone else’s retirement, health care, food, childcare, and schooling—not to mention all the foreign militaries I subsidize—wanting at least some of my tax dollars to benefit me is apparently communism. I learned this from conservatives who’ve conserved nothing but the welfare state, infinity immigration, left-wing cultural victories, and forever wars, so that’s fun.

So states were sharing personal data with Mark Zuckerberg's $400 million operation to identify unregistered voters ahead of 2020 election in apparent violation of federal law. More interesting findings in latest disclosures by DHS...

Y Combinator is overtly anti-American now. They have declared war on the country. Look at how they insult Americans in public. Imagine the private discussions. They hate this country, they hate America, they hate Americans.

Y Combinator is a supposed champion of “Little Tech” but perhaps they’re nothing more than a front for the far left. I’m deeply uncomfortable with wealthy investors attacking American workers like this. I’m afraid it’s increasingly obvious to many people that individuals such as this guy do not have the best interests of America and her citizens in mind. The purpose of the American economy is to promote the general welfare of American workers, not provide jobs for the rest of the world.

Great to see @finkd on X. He gave five billion in a slush fund to steal the election from @realDonaldTrump and help release terrorists into the street. When will Zuck be funding the Trump Accounts?
SCOOP: Families are pouring money into @TrumpAccounts In 5 days post July 4 app launch: — nearly $125 million in individual contributions, excluding seed + philanthropic contributions — 70% of contributions worth less than $250, 60% under $100 — Now +6.5 mil accts claimed

Lol. Oh no wealthy Dems Jews won’t donate to conservatives? For real? Is this guy touched?
I hope by now that responsible people on the right, including the @VP, who thought it was smart to trash Israel, realize what a blunder they've made by making portions of the conservative movement toxic to Dem Jewish voters and donors just as they search for a new political home.

Imagine white people telling black people they can’t use the n-word
I’m not letting a fucking Jew tell me I can’t use the word “goy” or any version of the word. No way they made up a slur for non Jews then said we can’t say it. Fuck that.

At least where I work, there are several people over 60 but not yet 66 who want to retire but won't because of how much insurance costs. They are almost all in a management/director role that's a promotion for most. The ACA's impact is everywhere.

AI layoffs are a textbook collective action problem: Each company cuts workers to compete, but if everyone does it, demand collapses. You optimized costs and killed your own customers… and your company.

My Redpill moment - When Lois Lerner was caught weaponizing the IRS against conservatives while the Republicans let her get away with it. Losing emails, hard drives, and refusing to say anything while the Republicans let her get away with it. Reminder she didn't just 'lose' the hard drives ...she lost the backups, then the backups of the backups but apparently didn't lose anything else that would have interrupted filing taxes. That was when I realized the Republicans hated us too. That was my first suspicion that the deep state was more powerful than the voters. I bet those hard drives still exist and are perfectly fine. Yet we still hear nothing about them - has anyone even looked? Here's the uncomfortable truth there are probably REPUBLICANS in congress still to this day that would be embarrassed by their release. @Kash_Patel any comment?

I will say this… There is an AZ senator that needs to be looked into ASAP! The rumors about him have alway been WILD… when I was in Congress it was the worst kept secret… he also happened to be my neighbor in the Longworth house office building, so my staff and I saw and heard plenty.

Short-term risk that just occurred to me re: Claude Mythos: If you’re a state or non-state actor with some zero-days you’ve been sitting on, you may conclude now is the time to use them before you lose them. Let’s hope this isn’t the case.

J'ai croisé beaucoup de gens très intelligents, très bons en business, qui tournent sur un logiciel marxiste. Ça me fascine. Voici ma tentative d'explication. 🧵 Le marxisme n'est pas une théorie économique qui survit par ses mérites intellectuels. Böhm-Bawerk l'a réfuté en 1896. Aucun département d'économie sérieux ne l'enseigne comme valide. C'est réglé depuis 130 ans. Alors pourquoi des gens brillants y croient encore ? Parce que le marxisme n'est pas une théorie. C'est une religion séculière. Et elle survit par des mécanismes psychologiques, pas rationnels. Premier mécanisme : le ressentiment déguisé en analyse. Girard explique que le désir mimétique peut se retourner. Au lieu de vouloir être comme celui qui réussit, tu veux le détruire. Le marxisme transforme cette envie en vocabulaire académique. Tu ne jalouses plus. Tu "déconstruis les rapports de domination". Même émotion. Emballage différent. Deuxième mécanisme : la culpabilité du succès. C'est le plus fascinant. L'entrepreneur marxiste a réussi et il se sent coupable d'avoir réussi. Le marxisme lui offre une indulgence. "Oui je suis capitaliste, mais au moins je sais que le système est injuste." C'est l'équivalent moderne d'acheter son pardon à l'Église. Tu expies ton succès en professant la bonne idéologie. Troisième mécanisme : le signaling social. Dans les milieux éduqués, tech, startups, être "critique du capitalisme" est un signal de statut. Ça dit "je ne suis pas un capitaliste vulgaire". C'est du Bourdieu appliqué à lui-même : tu achètes du capital culturel en critiquant le système qui te permet d'en avoir. L'ironie est magnifique. Quatrième mécanisme : la meilleure histoire jamais écrite. Le marxisme a un héros (le prolétaire), un méchant (le capitaliste), un diagnostic (l'exploitation), une promesse (la révolution), et un paradis (la société sans classes). C'est Star Wars en version politique. L'école autrichienne en comparaison ? Pas de héros. Pas de méchant. Des individus qui interagissent dans un système complexe avec des résultats émergents. C'est vrai. Mais c'est pas sexy. Personne ne fait la révolution pour "l'ordre spontané de Hayek". Cinquième mécanisme : le piège de l'intelligence. Et c'est le plus contre-intuitif. Les gens très intelligents sont PLUS susceptibles d'être marxistes, pas moins. Pourquoi ? Parce que le marxisme est un système intellectuel sophistiqué avec sa propre logique interne. Plus tu es intelligent, plus tu es capable de construire un édifice cohérent à l'intérieur du système. Et plus l'édifice est beau à l'intérieur, moins tu as envie de regarder si les fondations tiennent. Le château de cartes est impeccablement construit sur du sable. Il faut être intelligent pour construire un château de cartes impeccable. Les gens médiocres n'y arrivent pas, leur château s'effondre tout seul et ils passent à autre chose. Les gens brillants construisent un château tellement beau qu'ils refusent de regarder le sable en dessous. Sixième mécanisme : Nietzsche et la morale inversée. Nietzsche a décrit comment les faibles retournent la morale pour transformer leur faiblesse en vertu. Le marxisme fait ça à l'échelle collective. Et l'entrepreneur marxiste fait l'inverse : "je suis riche mais moralement supérieur aux riches parce que je reconnais l'injustice". Du ressentiment de luxe. La version premium de la mauvaise foi. Le résumé en une phrase. Le marxisme survit pas parce qu'il a raison. Il survit parce qu'il remplit des fonctions psychologiques que la vérité ne remplit pas : un coupable (bouc émissaire), une vertu (ressentiment transformé), une rédemption (culpabilité expiée), un statut (signaling social), et une belle histoire (monomythe). L'école autrichienne a les bonnes réponses. Le marxisme a les bonnes émotions. Et les émotions battent les réponses. Presque toujours. Presque.
