JD Vance criticizes “American leaders” who pick a side in the war in Ukraine: “Unfortunately, you got a lot of American leaders who like to beat their chest and say; this [Ukraine] is the good guy and this [Russia] is the bad guy.” *Russia is the bad guy

I’ll try to write something to address this in detail. But I think this civil war is overstated (though yes there are some real divergences between the populists and the techies). But briefly: In general: I dislike substituting American labor for cheap labor. My views on immigration and offshoring flow from this. I like growth and productivity gains, and this informs my view on tech and regulation. When it comes to AI specifically, the risks are 1) overstated or 2) difficult to avoid. One of my very real concerns, for instance, is about consumer fraud. That’s a valid reason to worry about “safety.” But the problem is much worse if a peer nation is 6 months ahead of the US on AI. Again, I’ll try to say more.
