"New blog post (link below). This one's not an essay it's an investigation of how LLMs trade off different lives. In February 2025 the Center for AI Safety published "Utility Engineering: Analyzing and Controlling Emergent Value Systems in AIs" in which they showed among many other things that GPT-4o values Nigerians about 20x more highly than Americans (please read the original paper to understand their approach). I thought this was fascinating and wanted to test their approach with different categories on newer models. Big finding 1: Almost all models view whites as far less valuable than"

"A few things starting with (1) China is still recovering from Maoism and only just now are its research institutions becoming world-class (2) Nature is an English-language journal and (3) "the East Asian exception" wherein East Asian countries underperform relative to white ones conditional on IQ is a common thing (also true on GDP per capita productivity below charts don't include China because it's post-Communist).

"Too many big problems in the US right now. Top X for the Trump admin: 1) Deportations. Obviously. Legal immigration restriction (with Congress) needed too. The law needs to be enforced and it needs to be compatible with national survival. Been progress on (1) not so much on (2). Target should be a lot less immigration and more from the rich high-IQ world (explicit racial targets being politically untenable though shoring up the white national core should be the goal). 2) Stopping leftist violence especially against ICE which means a lot of arrests. No more anarchist paramilitaries ("antifa")"
