Ezra Klein is the biggest mark on earth. His newest podcast description starts with:

Artificial general intelligence — an A.I. system that can beat humans at almost any cognitive task — is arriving in just a couple of years. That’s what people tell me — people who work in A.I. labs, researchers who follow their work, former White House officials. A lot of these people have been calling me over the last couple of months trying to convey the urgency. This is coming during President Trump’s term, they tell me. We’re not ready.

Oh, that’s what the researchers tell you? Cool cool, no need to hedge any further than that, they’re experts after all.

Read here a worthwhile deconstruction of Hanania’s bullshit by John Ganz: https://www.unpopularfront.news/p/enough

Bari Weiss, IDW star, founder of The Free Press and author of “How to Fight Anti-Semitism” publishes and then approvingly tweets excerpts from not-very-convincingly-ex white supremacist Richard Hanania explaining that

These stiff-armed salutes are not expressions of sincere Nazism but an oppositional culture that, like a rebel band that keeps wearing fatigues after victory, has failed to realize it’s no longer in the opposition.

Quite uncharacteristically, she deleted her tweet in shame, but not before our friend TracingWoodgrains signal boosted it, adding “Excellent, timely article from Hanania.” His favorite excerpt, unsurprisingly, is Hanania patiently explaining that open Nazism is not “a winning political strategy.” Better to insinuate your racism with sophistication!

Shortly after, realizing he needed to even out his light criticism of his fascist comrades, Woodgrains posted about “vile populism to right of me, vile populism to left of me”, with the latter being the Luigi fandom (no citation that this is leftist, and contrary to the writings of Luigi). To his mind the latter is worse “because there is a vanishingly short path between it and more political murders in the short-term future”, whereas open Nazism at the highest levels of the American conservative movement doesn’t hurt anyone [important].

True Anon podcast (began with dissecting the Jeffrey Epstein case) goes deep on Luigi, his shooting, and his grey tribe ideological background. https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-425-blue-118079355
