I'm the curious witness trying to make sense of it.

Jensen Huang just redefined power itself.

Most people picture power as an explosion. Bigger. Faster. Harder to control.

He says that’s backwards.

AI got 100x more capable in two years. Almost none of that power went into speed.

It went into doubt.

It breaks the problem down. Researches before answering. Then asks itself something almost no one does.

Huang: “Am I certain about this answer?”

If not, it goes back. Digs deeper. Reaches for a tool instead of guessing.

That’s the real reason hallucinations dropped.

Not a bigger model. A more careful one.

That’s why adoption took off.

Now look at where the next 1000x of compute is going.

Huang: “More reflection, more research, thinking about the answer more deeply.”

Not faster answers. Slower ones. On purpose.

The most powerful AI in the world will also be the slowest to answer you.

We assume the smartest mind in the room is also the most certain one.

This proves that backwards.

The smarter it gets, the less it trusts its own first answer.

Humans have known this for centuries. We spend a lifetime ignoring it.

The person you actually trust is never the one with the instant answer.

It’s the one who says “let me check.”

AI just started doing that on its own.

Real power was never the explosion.

It was the restraint.

We built a mind that doubts itself by default.

Most of us never manage it once.

Donald Trump is a court-adjudicated rapist.

This is not speculation.

It is not conjecture.

It’s not a Left-Wing talking point.

This is documented, established fact.

It was unequivocally declared by a judge.

It has been repeatedly upheld in the courts.

He is a rapist.

And to any decent human being or professed Christian, that would have been a deal-breaker.

It wasn’t for them...

@joni_askola I hope you're wrong but suspect you're not.

After the massacre of over 40,000 protesters, mass executions, the arming of Hamas and Hezbollah, and directing terror attacks on European soil — even after endless crimes against humanity committed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — France, Italy, and Spain still opposed the designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization.

These hypocritical Western politicians have sold their souls to the devil.

Designating the IRGC as a terrorist group is the absolute minimum. Western countries must immediately expel every single Iranian diplomat and regime agent from Europe and the entire West.
Please listen to this powerful speech in the European Parliament by Dutch MEP Bart Groothuis.
Iran’s Islamic regime is not a legitimate government — it is a terrorist regime that spreads its death cult beyond Iran’s borders!

[Frank Poulin @Zenantics2]

@Emolclause True. But the government got great value from the relationship.

[Frank Poulin @Zenantics2]

@TheCaptainEli True. But he spent millions getting trump elected. Democracy is the only system where you are not a slave.

It takes a special kind of strategic incompetence to achieve total military dominance and still pathetically lose a war, yet that is exactly what Donald Trump did in Iran.

The US and Israel ruled the skies, hitting almost every target with virtually zero resistance and few aircraft losses.

Even so, the entire operation failed because Trump is a loudmouth fraud who was never actually ready to commit.

Before the war started, I wrote that Iran's best move would be to just to try to somehow survive the first wave, and call Trump's bluff, and that is exactly what they did. They realized early on that Trump's tough-guy routine was entirely hollow.

Airstrikes alone rarely force an aggressive regime to collapse. Trump ignored every historian and military advisor, charging ahead with Israel without a clear objective.

This was not a typical asymmetric victory like Ukraine's resistance against Russia, where the smaller nation wins by inflicting severe costs on the occupier. Iran's military performance was miserable. Their air defenses were a joke, and their retaliatory strikes achieved almost nothing.

They won the war of wits because survival was existential for them, while for Trump, it was a political stunt. They correctly gambled that the US had no stomach for a prolonged ground invasion.

They just had to absorb the hits and choke off global oil supplies in the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides held back some of their biggest moves, since Washington kept ground troops out of the fight and Tehran chose not to make the Houthis completely seal off Bab el Mandeb.

I have absolutely zero sympathy for the horrific Iranian regime. Trump deeply betrayed the people of Iran by waiting until their domestic uprisings were brutally crushed before launching his badly prepared operation.

He talked big and made sweeping demands, yet everyone knew he lacked the resolve to follow through. The upcoming peace deal will inevitably be far worse than the JCPOA he originally tore down.

This war exposed the hard limits of Trump's posturing. When an adversary stood their ground and called his bluff, the entire might of the US armed forces could not cover up his cowardice and stupidity

@hesamorouji Trump was never trust worthy.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Russia has now lost four elections in a row: in Romania, Moldova, Hungary, and now Armenia.

What's more, no one expected the margin in Armenia to be so large. This suggests that Armenians have lost faith in Russia and are distancing themselves from it.

I do not believe Russia will take military action against Armenia. The military base poses no threat, and Russia itself is exhausted by the war it is waging against Ukraine.

Through its heroic resistance, Ukraine is also giving other nations and states a chance to break free from Russia.

I believe Georgia may be next in attempting to remove pro-Russian forces.

Armenia's break with Russia will strengthen Turkey and its influence in the region. That is good news.

In addition, sources believe that the defeat in Armenia could be used by the Kremlin to oust the so-called "Armenian lobby" within the Russian leadership: to weaken, remove its members from office, and cut them off from financial flows.

The main names mentioned are Mikhail Mishustin, Russian prime minister, and Sergey Lavrov, Russian foreign minister.

Russia continues to lose ground and its influence.

The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan is sitting on a potential windfall of as much as $11.6 billion from an initial investment of about $300 million into @SpaceX in 2019.

This would make it the single most successful investment the pension plan has ever made. The Teachers portfolio, which manages $279B in assets for about 346,000 members, includes working and retired teachers in Ontario. https://t.co/IEcclT7UWb

The lesson from Dante is this: violence, lust, greed — those are bad.

But they’re more forgivable.

The greatest sin is betrayal of friends, faith, or country.

The people who sleep best at night are the ones who never ended up in that frozen lake.

Be at peace with yourself. Celebrate your friends’ successes and don’t betray the people who trusted you.

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: Freedom is rare. Stretching back beyond the horizon of recorded history, most humans who have ever lived have lived at the mercy of lords and masters and kings.

But we're a nation founded on the rejection of kingdom. We're a nation founded on the radical idea that all human beings have a natural right to liberty.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Evidence of exceptional ability and asking how they solved hard problems down to the brass tacks level is what matters.

Those who actually deserve credit know the details of the solution, because it was so hard it got seared into their brain. The phonies and posers who falsely claim credit will flounder at the second or third level of detail.

@chelleyourself @Logically_JC Great, it makes me feel less bad eating them.
