A military changing aircraft means rewriting pilot and maintenance personnel training programs

All the reason to stop considering F35 alternatives, and cancel F35 immidiately. Sell any to KSA or North Korea for all I care.

The only military mission Canada will ever NEED to do in near future is defense/attack against US forces. That can’t be done with F35s that need Lockheed Martin permission for avionic systems. Pretending our military’s only mission will remain to hammer “rules based world order” nails is what needs to stop immediately.

The other issue is what a shit plane the F35 is. If ever there is a legitimate reason to amplify US dictate again, it can be done with other planes than F35. The point that this was always a colonial tribute paying for a boondoggle was always unacceptable. Same people can learn to fly and maintain other fighters.

China has shown repeatedly that it’s willing to be an absolutely belligerent asshole, and weaponize it’s companies in that undertaking against most of it’s trading partners.

Categorically false. I certainly wish our “loved oligarchs” weaponized good value products against me. That you feel entitled to not be competed against, doesn’t make competition unfair or any of your adjectives.

China would benefit more from taking such action in a global conflict. If China got into an actual fight with the USA, crippling parts of the Canadian economy would be a great way to harm the US directly

Far smarter for Canada would be to not engage in our usual US force amplification sycophancy, or let US draft Canadians as cannon fodder for their war, while still letting the US pay us for industrial support for their war. China will win, US will collapse soon enough even without war, but it would be diplomatically acceptable to China if we just exploited the US.

Any country bricking electronics/vehicles in Canada is declaring war on Canada and making us side with whoever is against that country. It’s good reason to not give Canadians explosive pagers, but don’t wrongly assume which country is more desperate to resort to terrorism.

If TikTok is a security risk

then surely google, twitter, meta, apple are also security threats. Canada’s establishment cannot be immune from transformation, and so all establishment allied media are threats to Canadians freedom of thought.

On just tiktok, US operations are being transferred (under no financial logic whatsoever) to MAGA Zionist supremacist, Larry Ellison, who is also heavily investing in Skynet services for US government to tag us all with social/Zionist credit scores. It will seem obvious to Canadian establishment to submit to US tiktok, instead of direct Bytedance tiktok.

A security risk exists with all foreign products. The critical question in choosing foreign partner technology is which country is more likely to attack you. Our demonic pig fucker establishment supports every US aggression, including a defense pact with US puppetted Philippines that is one of 2 main CIA vectors to instigate war on China.

Despite our pure sycophancy to US, it is the most likely aggressor towards Canada. It’s tech and auto sectors therefore threat vectors to Canadians. That Canadian auto sector tells us the same CIA/empire propaganda fairy tales now in desperation for more US sycophancy is the usual treasonous BS we only get from those with establishment access.

Way back when Huawei offered telecom equipment, a perfectly valid precautionary security option, was to have a government agency act as both equipment inspector, and handle all software updates. That should apply to all foreign controlled vehicles, because when US (or theoretically China) declares war on us, those foreign controlled vehicles will side with either US or China in harming Canadians.

Stop letting demonic pig fucking thieves lie to us about our great friends in the world.

Canada has also “confirmed/concurred” US designation of Mexican cartels as state sponsored terrorism. Designation gives US legal authority to bomb the fuck out of anything, and strengthened by cowardice regarding the bombing of any boat. Don’t expect any international condemnation for military attacks on Canada, if nothing will stop our desperate clinging to US force amplification, as our only purpose on this planet.

if tsmc only makes datacenter chips from now on, then “we” are shut out from the huge privacy (and fine tuning specialization) gains given by small efficient cheap to run models (or play games on new hardware). US datacenters will serve US empire/political establishment both with government as main LLM customer, but also for data collection/palantir ontology/social credit scores on every American.

I suspect that better datacenter chips won’t actually reduce their cost due to supply limitations, but even for small efficient models, personal hardware has a long payback period compared to a per token “rental” cloud charge. It is unlikely that all of the datacenter chip buyers will have non-government customers to use them all, and so either bailout or bankruptcy followed by megatech buying the datacenters for cheap followed by a bailout in government revenue for big tech global/citizen control applications.

Eventually, even the government has too much AI resources, at planned expansion pace, and then consumer/business computing/gpu market comes back. Could be as soon as 2026 that a collective understanding of absurdity occurs.

Chinese emerging players who are shut out from tsmc/taiwan/ROK chips and memory sources.

This is extremely serious for economic bubble.

Orders for datacenter AI chips exceed supply, and more high end/other memory per TSMC wafer is further nightmare. This is likely to mean higher prices per token for datacenter buyers, and higher prices for users/model renters, and much slower demand growth and AI progress. It also means long delays for datacenters, and better black market (China, higher than MSRP diversions from contracted deliveries).

I’m not sure if affects phone/lpddr soldered memory, but tsmc is going to charge more for phone chips too. This can cause whole consumer/business computing market to collapse. Return of older generation designs on underused process nodes will give little reason to upgrade, and still overcharge. This can be an opening for China exports of competing products that were not possible at low/reasonable ram/tsmc prices/availability, where even if China has difficulty achieving best yields, it’s still profitable to invest/expand aggressively, that discourages US/western colonies from investing.

This race to give the US Skynet, for stronger political control/social credit/surveillance of Americans, can make a bubble in everything else, and accelerate financial collapse, all the while making the goal impossible to achieve and forcing China to become stronger/more resilient, with greater share of global computing supply.

seems more mature, and external automation oriented. I’m interested in developing voice text editing tools. Don’t really know if what I linked is best suited platform.

If Anthropic can raise another $15B at “just” $300B valuation, then presto whammo, it just gained $150B for shareholders at no cost, while paying its oligarch sponsors double what they put in.

Massive technology breakthrough. Torpedo is just as big. Sad that they are not also providing a cost effective micro SMR power solution as well, though I get that power delivery depends on “wind intake speed”. This is extreme nuclear/missile weapon supremacy, that Russia already had with hypersonics.

A classification problem is correlation vs causation. Sunspots and mini skirts have been correlated with stock market returns to some degree, but it tends to be a tenuous connection not guaranteed to hold up over time, or to actually have any meaningful relevance whatsoever. It’s easy to oversell models.

Dystopian neutrality in article.

without discriminating on grounds of protected characteristics

AI classification is trained based on supervised (the right answers are predetermined) learning. MechaHitler for the fascist nationalism’s sake, will rate Obama’s face as a poor employee, and Trump’s as the bestest employee.

Open training data sets would be subject to 1. zero competitive advantage to a model, 2. massive complaints about any specific training data.

For some jobs, psycopaths AND loyalty are desirable traits, even though they can be opposite traits. Honesty, integrity, intelligence can be desirable traits, or obstacles to desperate loyalty. My point is that if there are many traits determined by faces, much more training data is needed to detect them, and then human hiring decision based on 10 or 30 traits matching to a (impossibly unique) position, where there direct manager only cares about loyalty, without being too talented, but higher level managers might prefer a candidate with potential to replace their direct manager, but all of them care about race or pregnancy risk, and then post training based on some “illegal characteristics”.

A Gattaca situation where, everyone has easy time getting great job, and moving to a greater job, OR being shut out of all jobs, creates a self contradicting prediction on “loyalty/desperation” controlability traits. If job duties are changed to include blow job services, then surely those agreeable make a better employee, despite any facial ticks responding to suggestion.

Human silent “illegal discrimination” is not eliminated/changed, but the new capability, you can use a computer to do the interviewing, and waste more interviewees’ time at no human cost to employer is why this will be a success. A warehousing company recently looked at facial expressions to determine attention to safety, and this leads to “The AI punishments to your life will continue until you smile more.” Elysium’s automated parole incident interviews is a good overview of the dystopia.

tech firm salaries

link to what this means?

yes. they never went into Ukraine, or even referendum liberated new Russia.

On the pure economic side, investment in Canada matters. The inherent assumption between the 2 choices is that money spent on Canada is good for Canada, ideally with proper returns for Canada. I would agree that money is more important than morals. But on an at least equal “mandate plane”, purpose/value/sustainability is as important as money and loser infrastructure for infrastructure/spending sake.

This shouldn’t be hard. ALIS is core weapons targeting, and other maintenance/health analysis tool. The jet being able to take off or refuel is only part of its value.

the article you’re citing directly refutes your claim.

My claim was never a kill switch or remote control/detonation switch. That is what scum denies to distract from the point that the advanced electronics systems ((ALIS) requires permission every time they are turned on. I am not denying that you can still make a sporty trip to Epstein’s Island with the plane, if Canada were to resell it to you.

To some people, credible sources on government shutdown is the democrats fault for wanting free healthcare for illegal immigrants.

Just because something 100% factual wants to be suppressed doesn’t make the suppression credible sources. While F35s are free for Israel, there would not be a demand to customize the electronics as a deal breaker to accepting free aircraft with the F35I. All denials that F35s are “permission to use” diguised tributes to empire are complete lies. Denying that there is a kill switch is a distraction that its advanced avionics/electronics work only through LM permission.

https://www.defensenews.com/air/2016/04/27/could-connectivity-failure-ground-f-35-it-s-complicated USAF concerns with the phone home system that Israel demanded to not be beholden to.

No credible expert believes that the US has any kind of “kill switch” in the F-35, for the record. Such a system would be almost impossible to completely conceal from the engineers who would have to maintain these planes

A kill switch strawman implies crashing the plane in mid air. It is fully 100% confirmed that every single time you turn the plane on, your plane talks with Lockheed Martin in order to obtain permission to turn on. Israel, by coincidence, is the only country allowed to bypass this permission loop, with a special version of the F35.

Any country not a slave colony of the empire would demand the same ownership functionality instead of disguising their colonial tribute with useless military hardware.
