Paul M. Nakasone stepped down as NSA director in February and will now join the company’s Sam Altman-led safety team.

They already have Larry Summers, the laziest has-been “economist” on Earth. Sam Altman is similarly a charismatic fraud who continuously fails up. I don’t know anything about Paul Nakasone but given his NSA connections, this might be the worst board in history.

You know Henry Kissinger would be there too if he wasn’t dead and buried.

If that brings you joy, maybe you might like the Behind the Bastards episodes on Kissinger. Just to really cement in you mind what a piece of shit he was. And also to find out that at one point he was a bit of a sex symbol, which I personally find, at minimum, mildly disturbing.

I relistened to it the whole series on him the night he dies while drinking champagne. Felt good

It's a rare thing for me to celebrate someone's death, but it's a shame he didn't kick off sooner.
