    Anthropic just needs to donate millions of dollars to a “MAGA Inc” like Greg Brockman did and they’ll get regulated properly from now on. It’s a perfectly good system for governmen…

    Anybody who isn't at least treating this situation as possibly just an authoritarian government picking winners and losers is not paying attention to the political environment. Com…

    The “TikTok ban” was a law passed by Congress that the Trump administration completely ignored until they arranged the sale to a political ally. Both sides are not at all the same …

    Can we at least debate the obvious externality that an insider might skew their advice or actions to personally profit instead of doing whatever they think is most appropriate for …

    It’s clearly AI generated when you see 3 comments of similar style posted in the same minute. Anyways ignore the people downvoting you, I don’t want to read AI generated comments e…

    I think at least the median citizen in the US has very good access to the best possible care. It may or may not be affordable but you can get it. And yes, that is what I think we o…
