  • I don’t buy it.

    A diversity of regulatory approaches especially in such a complex subject really does need the 50 state laboratory.

    In fact because states are smaller markets, it might encourage the development of more smaller companies. A complex regulatory landscape gives an efficiency edge to players who focus product development in specific states.

    Anything to keep this shitshow happening in a more democratic way is fine by me. Anthropic and that Altman fellow seem so desperately out of touch with humanity, I welcome any disadvantages we can give them.


  • So then the statement in your statement seems to be racism should have no social consequences?

    You really haven’t thought this through.

    Racism bypasses rational thought, it’s a visceral reaction for those steeped in it. People operating at that level are immune to reason in the moment.

    Maybe they can change over time? Sure give those sincerely seeking the grace they need. But power must be applied to preserve decent social standards.

    I see the wisdom in speaking softly most times. It’s a tough pill to swallow but those soft words must be backed up by strength. There are behaviors and attitudes that simply cannot be allowed to prosper.
