Sunday assorted links
1. What Kent Hendricks learned this year, always good.
2. NYT calls for the total destruction of all extant major LLMs. Of course this should be a scandal, and considered an example of unacceptable predatory behavior, but it isn’t. How is this different from what a super-villain would say? Brian Chau, telephone!
3. “A sweeping purge of Chinese generals has weakened the People’s Liberation Army, exposing deep-rooted corruption that could take more time to fix and slow Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s military modernization drive amid geopolitical tensions, analysts say.” And is the CCP moving on Alipay?
5. The sources of cost inflation at Auburn University (WSJ).
6. The kinds of questions people are asking GOAT. Galbraith gets his chance!
7. Milei kissing his girlfriend. And Milei responding to a critic on socialism.
8. Maxim Lott monitors political bias in chatbots.
9. Hannah Ritchie sanity on climate change (NYT).
