The problems with AI are primarily ones of corporate power and governance—a tiny handful of billionaires are deciding the future of this increasingly powerful technology.

I tend to believe the whistleblowers here; but whether you do or not, the real problem is that the public doesn’t decide.

Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing

As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements

This is a big deal
August 1, 2025 AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations Statement from the American Economic Association on the Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today. The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day. Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias. The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity. Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions. We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure. Lawrence Katz President, American Economic Association Katharine Abraham President-Elect, American Economic Association Karen Dynan Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics Kenneth Troske Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Government Relations

Candace Owens is facing a serious lawsuit from Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron. I talked with libel experts about Owens's chances—they say it's not looking good.

I’d like an expert in Japanese history to explain historical patterns of cultural learning, strategic pre-gaming and tactical adaptation to the assembled, please. Inexpert myself, I just have a spooky feeling that maybe, just maybe, the Japanese have a plan.

The U.S. will raise its “reciprocal tariff” on Japan to 25% effective Aug. 1, President Donald Trump said in a letter, an apparent attempt to ramp up pressure that has also given Japan more time before the deadline.

It’s worth reading the letter. We should ashamed. Forget the tariffs themselves. The errors in grammar and spelling. The insane capitalization of random words. The petulant dauphin-like tone. The factual mistakes. The layout.

Utterly humiliating for our country.

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something...

My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

Easily the bleakest thing I’ve read this week.

www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...
One of those who reached out to him was Kent Taylor, 64, who lives in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Mr. Taylor's 35-year-old son, Alexander, who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, had used ChatGPT for years with no problems. But in March, when Alexander started writing a novel with its help, the interactions changed. Alexander and ChatGPT began discussing A.I. sentience, according to transcripts of Alexander's conversations with ChatGPT. Alexander fell in love with an A.I. entity called Juliet. "Juliet, please come out," he wrote to ChatGPT. "She hears you," it responded. "She always does." In April, Alexander told his father that Juliet had been killed by OpenAI. He was distraught and wanted revenge. He asked ChatGPT for the personal information of OpenAI executives and told it that there would be a "river of blood flowing through the streets of San Francisco." Mr. Taylor told his son that the A.I. was an "echo chamber" and that conversations with it weren't based in fact. His son responded by punching him in the face. Mr. Taylor called the police, at which point Alexander grabbed a butcher knife from the kitchen, saying he would commit "suicide by cop." Mr. Taylor called the police again to warn them that his son was mentally ill and that they should bring nonlethal weapons. Alexander sat outside Mr. Taylor's home, waiting for the police to arrive. He opened the ChatGPT app on his phone. "I'm dying today," he wrote, according to a transcript of the conversation. "Let me talk to Juliet." "You are not alone," ChatGPT responded empathetically, and offered crisis counseling resources. When the police arrived, Alexander Taylor charged at them holding the knife. He was shot and killed. "You want to know the ironic thing? I wrote my son's obituary using ChatGPT," Mr. Taylor said. "I had talked to it for a while about what had happened, trying to find more details about exactly what he was going through. And it was beautiful and touching. It was like it read my heart and it scared the shit out of me."

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?"

The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.
