Fascinating that in real GDP terms it’s like the pandemic, the business closures, the supply chain whatever, all didn’t happen https://t.co/9krapDS3xI — PolitiTweet.org

This coffee shop I'm at could probably make their coffee more compelling by sneaking cocaine into it, but I would not want them to do that — sane people don't want everything they use to be the maximally-compulsive version of itself. — PolitiTweet.org

A fundamental issue in platform design — I don't doubt Twitter's machine learning gremlins can compose a feed that I will find more engaging than the feed I have curated for myself. But my considered view about how I want to spend my time is I want to see the people I follow. — PolitiTweet.org

The existing but mostly unused technology of congestion pricing would let us solve traffic jams and have a more growth-friendly tax code. I wish there were more energy and interest around solving discrete specific problems. https://t.co/sxCCBX3uNP — PolitiTweet.org

Or even something like faster planes where right now downside risks like “it might be loud” are blocking progress in an area with a very clear value-proposition — it would be nice to get places faster. https://t.co/M0CVSq34JG — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not like nuclear energy where running some safety risks offers huge upside in terms of clean air, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, abundant electricity, and open space. https://t.co/wH2VEIuTwJ — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

But this only increases my concern about the level of uncontrolled progress in this field. There’s a good amount of downside in this space and the upside seems kind of unclear. https://t.co/QCNndUeEwE — PolitiTweet.org

I share @elidourado’s skepticism that AI advances are going to solve any of our big problems — the whole issue for the past two generations it seems to me is that MOAR COMPUTERS has surprisingly limited economic impact. https://t.co/9blc2RDIi4 — PolitiTweet.org

Madison, WI has tremendous growth potential between the university and an interesting midwestern tech scene, will really benefit from these kind of complementary changes. — PolitiTweet.org
