Alex Karp now says that Palantir is progressive, he’s always been a Democrat, Trump went too far on immigration and his primary commitment is to economic justice. LMAOOOOOO
BREAKING: Thomas Massie’s resolution to impeach Pete Hegseth fails in the House 211-204, after 11 Democrats failed to show up for the vote.
If those 11 Democrats had showed up, Hegseth would have been impeached 215-211.
There is an organized and well-financed effort to stoke terror and mass panic about the imminent threat to humanity posed by computers. I strongly oppose it. Efforts to stoke terror and panic are fundamentally attempts to undermine and circumvent sober, rational discourse about problems and how to solve them, as a way to cajole people into either (1) paralysis and inaction, or (2) emotively supporting a policy platform that is not in their best interests (or the collective interests of society). It is a direct assault on the collective decisionmaking function of governance.
Further, underlying the claims is a fundamentally anti-human belief system that not only holds that people are unable to adapt to the advent of new tools, but also that we are incapable of learning, growing, and finding new meaning in a world bigger than ourselves (despite the fact we already do). This is without getting into the quite radical beliefs and assumptions underlying this worldview, not to mention the fact a set of complex technologies we design and control are presented as a single, monolithic entity beyond our comprehension. The prospect of designing the systems differently is erased from the conversation, and the totality of human ingenuity is converted into an on/off switch, very much to the interests of those who want you to believe they’re building god.
look at these trial balloons being floated to signal jensen being pushed out
while this is heavily coordinated, it has the appearance of being “natural” news coverage because what’s being exploited here is journalist’s instincts to be first rather than be right
the truth frankly doesn’t matter now
jensen is now pushed into a corner to defend against allegations that have no material basis in reality & haven’t been proven yet
indivdual chinese actors =/= china the state.
neocolonialism =/= big country doing things.
imperialism =/= big country doing things with guns.
african sovereignty =/= responsibility of others.
africa does not exist in a world of it's own.
that's my contribution, good luck.
have fun with the twitter conversations about china and africa. i'm getting a lil too old and cyclical nature of the discourse about it on here is not really for me anymore. no longer interested in debates or arguments not rooted in reality https://t.co/dh1LvBjM63
“can’t play vs physical defenses”
“not a number 2”
“can’t run the team without luka”

Funny cause the AES has no problem dropping the nuts and telling Chinese companies to tighten up if they get to slipping. And guess what? Chinese firms comply because they have to operate within the parameters set by the nation they are operating within
not a 1:1 yet but Cuba and China have used this method. elevate the traditional approach to the status of the modern to increase access and effectiveness and en route, elements of both fall under scrutiny of the scientific method. it creates intellectual harmony b/w the two
A Dutch Marxist has created an index of over 6000 articles from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and summarized and categorized them. Find them here at https://t.co/khCFmwiyrv
there is so much news coming out of burkina faso these days that i genuinely can not keep up. i really think ppl underestimate the rate to which economic and productive development accelerates social and political activity
AI is enabling a greater no of ppl to start 1-person businesses from home with low overheads
Innovation creates decentralisation but overall this weakens capital and makes it increasingly obsolete
For that reason escaping corporate hell via a small business isn't sustainable
Study the outcomes of US elections in relation to repeating economic patterns and you may conclude that democracy and maybe even free will (under capitalism) are illusory
