Yup it's part of why he loves tariffs. To him, it's just revenues or literal income he can spend.
Trump does not believe in public goods. He views the federal treasury as his private purse; public employees are to be his personal advocates, or they get fired; public property (like the White House) his to do what he wants, even if it means gutting the East Wing without permission./1

Again, Mark Zuckerberg's kids go to a screen-free school with 14 students total and multiple specialized tutors
let me note that one of the actual tests here is going to be 'what do people pushing these ideas want for their own children' and I will bet you a lot of money that the answer is 'the elite university model of Harvard et al' not 'learning through AI slop'
Wow. Just wow.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

You know, I am glad to see the annual cybersecurity training from the state of Texas emphasizing to not put pretty much ANY information into generative AI programs - correct. Cannot be trusted.

The sheer capital behind generative AI is another reason I'm skeptical. It feels very "Chevron knew about climate change all along" but we're in the present of that before the reveal that OpenAI knew its tools were expensive, useless, and unsustainable all along.
*The AI boom = one of the costliest building sprees in world history
* Past 3 years' commitments are greater than the cost of building the U.S. interstate highway system
* Consumers must spend $800 billion on AI within a few years, to justify investment from 2023-24

Look this isn’t that insightful. But the only reason Trump wants to have state owned lithium mines and IBM (etc.) is because he views the assets and revenues of the state as uniquely his.

one of the biggest arguments against AI dependence is that the strongest proponents of its use have become visibly *dumber* in the last few years.
It really does feel like a lot of formerly reasonable people have been infected by some sort of terrifying brain parasite when it comes to unthinking and total acceptance of using AI tools
Absolute worst part, imo, is the pressure from school administrators to "welcome our new overlords" by adopting AI. It's also happening in elite universities, to my utter bafflement & horror. Anyone who calls bullshit on AI is treated as if only ignorance could explain their perspective.

Just recorded a pod on solar+storage and holy shit y'all, if you are not tracking this market on a daily basis, you have no idea how wild it is. The global average price of a battery pack fell 40% *from 2023 to 2024*. That dropped the LCOE of a solar+storage plant by 22%. In a year!

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.
Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.
