I’ve been meaning to link to this tweet by Patrick Mckenzie for a bit, where he explains the essay meta. In short, JD Vance told the New York Times that he read the pretty famous AI 2027 paper.
I think this is a great example of agency; a $14 domain name and some fancy css can be a great way to get a point across to a Serious Person. It’s the new example of a resume on nice paper, sending doughnuts to their office, etc.
Hilariously, someone captures this pretty well on essaymeta.com
