We can live without billionaires but billionaires cannot live without us, in the same way that a body can live without cancer, but cancer cannot live without a body.

The headline has to be "Justice Department released Epstein files but illegally redacts 'politically exposed individuals'," right?
Like surely they can't just ignore the law, redact their friends, and get away with it because news agencies will pretend the crystal-clear law is unclear?

Whipple: Wiles thought she was talking to someone who would give her a fair shake. And I did give her a fair shake. But the problem is, when you’re in that bubble, you wouldn’t recognize fair treatment when you see it—because crazy is crazy when you’re in that bubble.

Is there any precedent in modern history for a mass shooting occurring in a public setting with 10+ casualties and the perpetrator not being apprehended? It's really hard to fathom.

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.

As Trump & his Neanderthals upend science, California is stepping up. We’re hiring the best & brightest. We’re forming our own regional CDC. And I’m authoring a measure to ramp up our investment in scientific research (SB 607).

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

“I’m not understanding the anti-big tech subtext in a show I’m literally not watching because I now have the attention span of an iPad kid”
I was asked what I thought now that #pluribus has reached seven episodes.
I’m not seeing any of the liberal subtext some folks are seeing. But I’ve learned to watch the show by fast forwarding through the long, artsy stretches where no one speaks.
There were exactly 2 lines of interesting dialogue.

Every interview, Sam Altman tries to relate his baby, ChatGPT, back to whatever story he’s telling, but the one where he says it’s impossible to be a parent without it is real sad. A billionaire can’t figure out how to relate to another human without a suped-up search engine.

Give another $67 billion tax break to Big Tech, and their billionaires who gave him millions in donations, to write off their R&D retroactively.
This is what a corrupt oligarchy looks like.
