I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
Tonight, Canada declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week.
Despite the U.S. offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market, new demands and walk backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days. In addition, Canada is continuing to maintain its prolonged retaliation against the United States, including, among other things, flat-out prohibitions on certain American goods and services.
For decades, Canada has enjoyed the most favorable access to the U.S. market of any country. And from the beginning of President Trump’s trade program, Canada has continued to enjoy the best treatment in the world, even after – like China – retaliating against the United States. This week, the United States agreed to provide even better treatment to Canada, offering significant tariff reductions on steel, aluminum, autos, and lumber.
The U.S. offer was also forward looking, and included a historic economic and national security partnership to cooperate on export controls, combat transshipment, enhance digital trade, and align certain external tariffs. The offer would have led to supply chain coordination on aerospace, complementary actions to address unfair trade practices, critical minerals cooperation, increased enforcement against imports produced with forced labor, and the announcement of formal U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) negotiations.
This is a missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the United States, which is the fastest growing economy in the G7.
In order for the West to win this civilizational battle, it must:
1) Proudly and unequivocally defend Western values;
2) Reject cultural relativism and the unicornia vision of multiculturalism;
3) Recommit to individual dignity over the celebration of collective identity politics;
4) Recognize that all cultures are not equal;
5) Recognize that all religious beliefs are not equally consistent with Western values;
6) Recognize that all immigrants are not equally likely to assimiliate and adopt Western values;
7) Recognize that immigrants who espouse intolerable values that seek to destroy our civilization will be deported (en masse);
8) Implement a rational immigration policy that recognizes the importance of cultural homophily (choosing immigrants who hail from cultures that possess similar values to those of the host nations);
9) Exhibit zero tolerance for seditious belief systems; such systems can be criminalized if they constitute an existential threat to our freedoms and liberties.
I could go on but the latter nine items (some of which are correlated) would be a good start.
Here is the problem: I don't think that the West has the testicular fortitude to implement more than a small subset of the latter nine. Hence, to reiterate a prediction that I've been making for several decades, the West is in death spiral. It will be ugly, painful, and bloody. The greatest tragedy is that the West brought this on itself because of parasitic "progressive" follies. The most dangerous weapon in nature is a human mind infected by ideological parasites.
Once they started telling yall to get a new booster shot every 5 to 10 business days like it was the new Jordans droppin?!?!!!!!!! That’s when I knew. I went in my backyard & started building the Arc. Nicki’s Arc. I know the Lord won’t send another flood but still.
I'm astounded by the viral nature of my latest Saad Truth clip on the lobotomized narcissist, Anne Hathaway. Across all platforms, it is about to reach 1 million views in only a few hours. Apparently, many people are fed up with the grandiosity of these know-nothing actors.
@Theholisticpsyc Still in one. 18 years and I’m in an almost constant state of fight or flight. It’s draining beyond words. He lies about things to avoid conflict as well. Total avoidance and passivity.
Kicking your kids out at 18 is a psyop.
They are not magically adults because the system picked an age. Your job as a parent is not to feed them to the machine unprepared. Your job is to teach them how the machine works.
Teach them faith. Discipline. Money. Investing. Responsibility. How to build. How to protect themselves. Families should stick together until there is stable ground for the next generation to step onto. A strong family builds a foundation, then sends warriors into the world. Not wounded kids trying to figure out life alone.
@HippyMomPhD Functional nutritionist here 👋Teach her cycle awareness early. Understanding how mood, energy, sleep, appetite and stress tolerance shift across the cycle is one of the biggest game changers for adolescent girls. Sleep and keeping her blood sugar stable also makes a difference!
@Dearme2_ Agreed. However, kids who are well-parented is rare these days. Most adults can’t lead themselves let alone their kids. So the alternative in many cases is loneliness
I just want to say a massive THANK YOU to people in other Countries - especially the U.S., the UK, and Canada - who are standing with the Irish people as we take on our tyrannical Government.
It means so much that you are supporting us right now.
We love all of you so much! 💚
