I'm actually so impressed with Nicholas Decker's ability to formulate the worst possible takes on every possible topic. His mind fascinates me.
How do we ensure humanitarian foreign aid for the future? It’s incredibly unpopular with the public, but is, without a doubt, the most important and effective thing the government does. I think the important thing is winning elite opinion, and taking it out of the hands of voters
But they would have to start by not hating men. It was a serious challenge for a lot of companies.
Imagine how much money companies could have made in the last few years. Just listening to men.
"Women shouldn't suffer horrific sexual assaults at the hands of foreign military age men" "Omg you're right wing??"
Many are feeling this lately
Awesome. Work your way up the bell curve. Delete the midwit gene next.
Japan is on a different level…
Maximally truth seeking implies decentralised. You're either serious about solving this problem or you're serious about having a great product. Both are fine, but they are distinct problems.
Maximally truth-seeking is absolutely essential to ensuring a good AI future for humanity
People asking "How are you?" like I can just casually recall every trauma and triumph of the last 20 years of my life and make an assessment on the spot.
Techno-optimism/abundance mindset must become bipartisan for America to win in the long term
All the intelligence you need for $10/month $30/month 3x$30/month $300/month 3x$300/month depending upon how you time it
openAI releases GPT-5 in august shortly after, Google launches Gemini 3, which might outperform it xAI follows with Grok 4.2 or 4.5 a month later, Chinese open-source model comes out that beats them all, for a fraction of the cost the cycle continues...
Humans are fighting back against the machines!
Zack had a mechanical rig with 3 cameras instead of some dude running in circles… just saying
If you think about it, I demonstrated remarkable restraint waiting until the "Globalise the Intifada" crowd started literally praising Hitler and calling for the Holocaust 2.0 before commenting.
I agree completely. Which is why we have a moral obligation to bring diversity and multiculturalism to Africa and The Middle East, and ensure these nations accept asylum seekers and migrants of all kinds at volume.
For refugees. For stateless people. For asylum-seekers. For internally displaced people. For EVERYONE. Racism & discrimination are a serious threat to life, dignity & human rights. Each of us can help #FightRacism to create more peaceful societies. – via @Refugees
I mean I'm down, but what prompts two world leaders so far and two news organisations to all issue the same statement on the same day, within hours of one another? What is that meeting?
NYC is cooked. The fight against communism continues.

There is no reason for this. Sure, if that's what you want, knock yourself out, but this isn't necessary.
This is so sad.
Ok China, we see your drones and we raise you:
Fully automated paper aeroplane production, 120 planes per minute! Looks like the majority of parts were laser cut & 3D printed. Is this a robot or a machine? Is there a difference?
We are living through the American techno-optimist renaissance
Peter Thiel said there are three visions of the future and none of them is particularly good or inspiring: Greta Thunberg environmentalism, Islamism, or Chinese surveillance state. I think the new American tech renaissance provides an inspiring fourth option.
I don't get it. Drone food into the region. Also drone some journalists in so we can see what's actually happening.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
Omg big tech has some explaining to do.
