@DPJHodges @PepperTed1 Who you think hates JD Vance outside the US? The usual Brit/EU wokerati plus their Aussie cosplayers? Apart from those lanyard-wearing midwits JD Vance is given exactly the same weight as every other USA VP had been given.

@vickikolomensky @RonColeman @alykatzz Is there somewhere in the UK where I can buy ONLY Israeli products?

[Mark Green @MobiusSlit]

@cnmmedic @Sargon_of_Akkad @AndyBurnhamGM Still, at least they would’ve admitted the political purpose of the attack. Refusing to publicly revile the political cause behind the atrocity, Islamism, because the perpetrators share a religion with good people is dumb.

@cnmmedic @Sargon_of_Akkad @AndyBurnhamGM If it had been been an IRA bomb it would always be referred to as the “Irish Republican bombing”.

@halvarflake @mattpocockuk said it best - tactical programming is now handled by agents, you’ll never write another line of code again. What you need to be great at is putting together systems.

A very interesting read

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.

Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.

Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.

Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.

They conquered until they collapsed.

America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.

And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Almost unprecedented?

It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.

The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.

It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.

America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.

That’s not policy.

That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.

You’re being told a story right now.

That America is the villain of history.

You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.

The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.

And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”

Probably right.

China has historically built walls, not fleets.

But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.

We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.

AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.

If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?

The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?

Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.

Billions lifted out of poverty.

All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.

And carries no guarantee of being repeated.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was what it didn’t do after.

Reading through Reddit threads in which leftists/progressives express their bewilderment/confusion/fury at working class English voters for casting their lot in with Reform, one of the things I'm starting to understand is this:

They simply do not understand how a government could help working-class people in any other way besides giving them benefits, handouts, and other free things.

Their entire mental architecture is premised upon the premises that
1. Working class people are poor
2. The only way for them to not be poor is for the state to give them free stuff
3. So left-wing parties need to promise them lots of free stuff

Then, when these working-class voters instead vote for right-of-centre parties who instead promise an economy in which they can build a career, start their own business, make a financial success of themselves and start a family, they're confused.

Because, again, in their mental architecture, what the working class are *supposed* to want is free benefits from the state.

But what they *actually* want is a fair shake at making their own way in the world, making money, getting on in life.

And the left simply doesn't understand that what these voters want from the state is an economy in which they can actually do this.

Still incredible that the DeepMind documentary has footage of exact moment Demis is told that AlphaFold can “easily” predict all known (1-2B) protein sequences “in a month” and he says to do it.

Then, it shows the moment AlphaFold is released to the world.

At some point every single libertarian has to make a decision on if their slogan “Don’t tread on me/Leave me alone” is followed by an “or else” or a “please”.

An American most famous for his megalomania and hyper-narcissism can give a more touching and selfless tribute to England and the United Kingdom than the actual King or Prime Minister of the UK.

@WKCosmo @IUY_Surtr Are you sure you’re smart enough to be able to know the difference?

I foresee a world where Opus and Mythos are the smartest agents but they get ruined by the savage, unintelligent Apple Intelligence because they’re too empathetic

when I was young, the worldwide threat was global cooling, and the solution proposed was full communism. then later the threat became global warming, and the solution was full communism. nowadays the threat is AI, and you'll never guess what the solution is. yep, full communism
