ou have no way, no way of ever knowing which one was true. I’ll bet you’ll never know in your whole lifetime. It will never be credible because there will be studies on both sides for forever. There will always be studies on both sides. So I don’t know what to believe.

Do you remember Trump talked about so-called freedom cities about the federal government just before he was elected? The federal government could make some land available that entrepreneurial developers could build their own little freedom cities and sort of experiment with low-cost, better everything. And that idea seems to have sort of died away. You know, I don’t hear anybody talking about it. Trump doesn’t talk about it. But then I started seeing all these stories about gerrymandering. And I said to myself, how many places are there in the US where if the federal government said, “All right, we’ll make this little area a freedom city.” And let’s say some clever developer said, “I’m going to build a freedom city that will really be around Christians who want to go to church. It won’t be exclusive, so we’re not going to discriminate against anybody, but it’ll really be optimized for Christians who want to go to church.” Now, in theory, that would bring in more Republicans than Democrats. You might have a better idea how to do that, but the idea would be that you could build a freedom city in just the right battleground state where it might tip the election because if you can bring in a quarter million people who are reliably Republican voters and then give them a good experience in these freedom cities and then make it really easy to vote in the freedom cities. Could you use the freedom cities to rig the election by moving in little pockets of reliably Republican voters into battleground states? I don’t know. So it would take somebody’s, because the state affected could also they could probably just circle it and gerrymander it out of existence. So it might be that they could gerrymander it away even if you pulled it off. I don’t know.

Anyway, the AI industry is still having copyright class action problems from authors. I thought that was kind of settled, but apparently not. Ars Technica is writing about it. Anthropic is being sued by some class action group of authors. And the issue here is that if it turns out that the authors win and the class action goes well for the authors that it would destroy the AI industry totally because they don’t really have a way to avoid the knowledge from
