So the US just released a foreign policy document that says that the emergence of nationalist parties across Europe is cause for hope and to be supported in order to help Europe realign with the US.

That’s a plan for undermining the governments of the EU and instigating regime change. US social media is their tool of choice. It needs to be shut down. Yes, people might clamour for an alternative, but they can have them. They just need to not be controlled by the US oligarchy.

Edit: literally the next article in my feed

I assume they’ll be investigating the Caribbean boat strikes soon?

The last one was plain old dodgy rust code.

This OpenAI RAM buyout really was a “If we’re going down, we’re taking everyone with us” move.

The problem I have with your description is that it abdicates responsibility for what eventually gets generated with a big shrug and “we don’t fully understand why”.

The choice of training data is key to how the final model operates. All sorts of depraved material must be being used as part of the training set, otherwise the model wouldn’t be able to generate the text it does (even if it’s being coached).

It’s clear the “AI race” is all about who gets the power of owning, and therefore influencing, everybody’s information stream. If they couldn’t influence it, there wouldn’t be such a race.

What the hell is the training data for this thing?!

So where are the regulators right now? Oh yes, they’ve all been completely gutted by the governments.

All the lights go out on mine when it overheats, and then there’s a puff of white smoke.

Unbounded capitalism is for sure.

I would say “AI” makes a good poster child for what to fight against. It embodies a lot of what’s wrong.

It’s good for optimisation problems, where you have a complex high-dimensional space to search and you’re solving for some measurable quality.

It’s already there for most of us. It only a few rich companies getting richer that’s making the line go up.

No advantage over Arch IMO.

If you want to play with it, setup a VM.

Well…maybe. You’re not seeing everything that goes through his meme coin.

All your codebase belong to us!

Nvidia is less speculation that the other companies mixed up in this. They at least sell physical goods which they’ve been shipping.

Microsoft, Google, X, Meta - Oh boy!

The stat that’s going around at the moment is that 30% if the GDP is transactions between the “Magnificent 7”. That one is fair because it’s economic activity.

The underlying economy is in recession with the AI frosting on top pushing it to break even levels.

There’s a lot less russian money than there used to be.

Yep. World of difference.

One incident of something strange happening resulted in full diagnosis, and a software update that could be applied with about 3 hours downtime for most craft.

It’s not vitriol. It’s questioning how this piece of the russian jigsaw puzzle fits in with everything else going on. Ukraine has has put Russia into a very desperate position, but the one card they kept trying to play throughout the conflict was "Don’t do that or we’ll get the nukes out. ". Repeatedly it’s been shown to be an empty threat (thankfully).

So why would that suggest a new START now when their situation is deteriorating? Surely they’d want to keep this card in their hand.

• Have they found that their nuclear arsenal is in the same kind of state as the rest of their military? I.e. broken under the weight of corruption in their society.

• Are they worried about a future breakup of the government or state, and don’t want to lose control of nuclear material? Better to decommission it first.

• is it a distraction from other events like the sanctions that are due in the US Congress? A delaying technique like the “Ukrainian peace plan”.

Whatever it is, this is part of a larger situation and we shouldn’t take it at face value. That doesn’t mean you ignore it, just understand it.

Translation: Our nukes have all been cannibalised for parts, most of which have been sold on the black market. Can you dismantle yours too please?
