I keep hearing people talk about a radical right-wing proposal to eliminate taxes on single-family houses while maintaining the same level of revenue. Wonder if DeSantis has considered this

Cuts to property taxes, without broad cuts to services, mean the taxes will just be replaced with more regressive ones that disproportionately fall on young working families.

We need a city to run a radical experiment and have one ai fde go in and automate as many roles as possible. Within three months, a ton of government ops can be automated
When will they release their Millennium solutions?
I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model.
Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching.
We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards.
As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!
Real world human vision/task data can only be valuable for so long on robotics. At some point simulated data’s gotta dominate?
If intelligence become abundant, natural resources are still scarce… but importantly, many natural resources like energy and gold, intelligence can likely create more of / more efficiently.
It can’t create more land.
By end of next year: Ai-enabled cyberattack causing >$1B in economic damage...
Feels semi-likely (40%?)
I'm noticing my job change a lot recently. One interesting piece to that--AI lets us take on way more projects, so the friction has moved to the people part: more meetings, more emails dms and texts, etc. Good problem to have.

René Livas estimates replacing Philly's wage tax with a land value tax would bring 26-78k jobs back from the burbs.
We'd get similar boosts from replacing BIRT and the building portion of the property tax with LVT.
This and other things Philly needs will be in @5thSq's platform

“No Property Tax for Seniors” and “Freeze the Rent” are two sides of the same coin. They have the same core motivation.
In both cases I don't believe it's driven by people wanting to take from others (per se) ... rather the motivation is that People want to be *able* to STAY where they are living now
And because that is a positive idea, and a human one, I think it's why both arguments are extremely powerful and will continue to gain support
Both policies only benefit a very narrow set of people who happen to have been fortunate enough to secure housing prior to enactment. And the ironic situation is that both groups will end up being ensnared by their own policies, both at the broad level and individual as well.
They are short term policies that either ignore, or deny, 2nd order effects.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

Modest proposal: Boomers don't have to pay property tax. I don't have to pay for their morbid obesity and inflation adjusted 'fixed income'

I’ve paid my home off, too, but I pay property taxes because it is a relatively efficient way for local governments to raise revenue (reforming local real property taxes to become land value taxes would be better).

Hard to think of a more regressive tax policy than “only people with mortgage debt should have to pay property taxes”

We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.
