“Monthly Roundup #27: February 2025” by Zvi

84 min • 17 februari 2025

I have been debating how to cover the non-AI aspects of the Trump administration, including the various machinations of DOGE. I felt it necessary to have an associated section this month, but I have attempted to keep such coverage to a minimum, and will continue to do so. There are too many other things going on, and plenty of others are covering the situation.

Table of Contents

  1. Bad News.
  2. Antisocial Media.
  3. Variously Effective Altruism.
  4. The Forbidden Art of Fundraising.
  5. There Was Ziz Thing.
  6. That's Not Very Nice.
  7. The Unbearable Weight Of Lacking Talent.
  8. How to Have More Agency.
  9. Government Working: Trump Administration Edition.  
  • Government Working.
  • The Boolean Illusion.
  • Nobody Wants This.
  • We Technically Didn’t Start the Fire.
  • Good News, Everyone.
  • A Well Deserved Break.
  • Opportunity Knocks.
