What's needed is cuts to education... So that taxes can be cut for the wealthy... To increase growth, so that more taxes can be collected.

It's worked brilliantly for public funding for the last 50 years, might as well put it into overdrive

    I wouldn't trust this yet, only 62% of estimated votes have been counted so far.

    I checked the results 24 and 12 hours ago, and it was then at 60% and 61% respectively. Each time I've checked, the gap has been closed by 0.6%.

    For anyone claiming that it's all the same, I have a website tracking supporters of wealth taxation around the world and the US has remarkably many elected politicians who backs taxing extreme wealth. All but 1 are Democrats, and that's Bernie Sanders (but his seat isn't up).

    25 people in the Senate backs taxing extreme wealth. 81 people in the House backs taxing extreme wealth. https://wealthtaxsupporters.com/us/seats

    They lost about 5 million counts from the land they can no longer count in (Russia occupied) and at least 4.4 million to people leaving the country.

    By all estimates, they've lost at most 200 000 soldiers (casualties aren't fatalities). 17 000 civilians have been confirmed killed, and the UN estimates that the total (including confirmed and unconfirmed civilian deaths) is 60-100k.

    To emphasise: the war is horrible, but 12-13 million people have not been killed in the war

    The report was actually really interesting and comprehensive. They also only used opensource models in the testing and not their own models.

    Basically, the opensource models of 6 months ago were able to self replicate in the majority of tests (depending on model used) on basic hardware like TV boxes in a couple of days.

    When they couldn't fit on the hardware, they split the layers of the models across multiple devices. And by "they" I mean the self replicating LLM and not Anthropic
