Someone on Bloomberg just said $NFLX has a moat, because YouTube only has short form videos. These are the people we are trading against. #aging#washedup
maybe this is not yet clear, so let me state it plainly: as of right now Anthropic, and really a small number of individuals at Anthropic, has the capacity to directly attack and cause major damage to the United States Government, China, and generally global superpowers. government agencies like the NSA do not have internal models or defense capabilities that outclass frontier models. if they chose to do so, they could likely exfiltrate top secret information from government systems, gain control over critical infrastructure including military infrastructure, sabotage or modify communications between members of government at the highest level, and potentially carry on activities for some time without detection. the thing about having access to a huge number of zerodays your adversaries don't know about is it gives you a massive asymmetric advantage.
they did not exploit this to gain power or destabilize the world order. they publicly released the information that they had these capabilities and worked to mitigate these flaws. you should be grateful american frontier labs have proven themselves remarkably trustworthy and concerned with the public good. but it's critical you understand we are in a new regime. private entities now have power that directly rivals and impacts the government's monopoly on influence and violence. and anthropic is certainly not the only one, there's little chance OpenAI's internal models are far behind.
this trend will accelerate on virtually every dimension, not slow down. my prediction for how it plays out is the relatively imminent seizure and nationalization of labs by the US government, sometime over the next two years. it's very tough for me to see how they accept the existence of this kind of threat. but this adds a whole new class of governance issues, as then we've handed these extremely wide-reaching capabilities from private entities to public ones.
I'm starting to think this war was never Trump's idea nor decision
Think about it:
This entire war is for energy. It started under Biden, forcing Europe off Russian natural gas and replacing it with American gas, all thanks to the war in Ukraine and the blowing up of Nordstream
It worked.
Then the strategy continued under Trump: Venezuela, Panama Canal, Greenland, and now Iran (strait of Hormuz)
Remember, just yesterday Qatar halted their natural gas exports (20% of global LNG exports), which Europe depends on. Guess who will replace them?
That's right, the U.S.
So the long term objective for the U.S. is to maintain hegemony by controling global energy market, with the ability to choke off China if ever needed.
This makes more sense now than ever as the AI arms race heats up
This is the only logical explanation for the Iran war, otherwise it makes ZERO sense for American strategic interests
And if this hypothesis is true, then the 'energy domination strategy' began well before Trump, guided by unelected bureacrats that were there even before Biden (i.e. deep state)
This makes me wonder how much power and influence the American President actually has when it comes to foreign policy
Every Republican supporting this war must ask themselves: if Harris declared it, would they still support it? Every Democrat must ask themselves: if Harris declared it, would they still oppose it? Party loyalty aside, ask yourself: is the war constitutional, and is it just?
Elon loves to do that annoying thing of ignoring whats actually going on in the world at the moment and commenting on something entirely insignificant to the current timeline
No he didn’t, Libby. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a “piece of ice” because that’s what it is.
You’re the only one mixing anything up here.
