Willis lands a good one on the "AI" moral panic; Nadella all-in on a no quite ready for prime-time mass-market technology; AWWK!! ARKK; Wells's "Witch King", Levine on blindsided banks, Deese on...
Azhar: Put those assumptions in the model and show me the optimal tax on net CO2 emissions is zero. And isn't 2050 little late to get started on CO2 removal technology?
Republican elites still want to cut Social Security as much as they ever have, they just want to find a way to make Democrats share the political price for cuts, instead of bearing the cost for their unpopular position. Obama foolishly attempted to reach a "grand bargain" with these nutters -- it is a blessing that they were SO nutty that he couldn't get a compromise.
Considering how little lifespan has extended for people making less than the median income across their lives, raising the retirement age is _wildly_ regressive. I'd much sooner jettison the cap on earnings that FICA applies to.
Regarding AI safety, the recent video you posted really highlighted the risks and dangers that are within current technology. There probably needs to be legislation placing boundaries on the size of the training set and processing power available to the public and to be used upon them. Slowly but surely, humans are being made obsolete.
Not as good as the coin, but not bad. Let's see how he leverages his "concession" on permitting reform against the "environmentalists." That could push it above zero.

Well, a compromise of raising the retirement age and everything else needed to get ~0 deficit in taxes would be OK

Please tell Yahoo to revert to its former and much superior investment chart screen. Why are so many "uogrades" worse than the older version?

Game, set and almost match to Biden on the debt ceiling: Couldn't Ed have come up with another headline, at least?
