@Bluebearmonkey Another perspective is that in the US it is possible for local politicans not to obey the will nor cooperate with the federal government while in China this is unheard of. JPM building is magnificent place to show China what US economic and financial power is about.

@TheOneDolf Who do you think is a more dangerous person: A man who has everything to lose or one who has nothing to lose?
There lies the answer to German and consequently, European future.

@JohnCleese Farage is emblematic of the old British empire, easily swayed with money, fame and theater into oblivion. On paper, Lowe looks like someone who is eager to listen and obey the people with aggressive policy and a will to carry it out. Open to hear other opinions.

@clashreport Not possible without Federal EU, other government models are simply too quick and more coherent/firm in their decision making.

@device2010 @RnaudBertrand Read again, if China wants to be a global power they need to project their supposed naval might outside of SCS but they are well aware of the all the related costs so choose not to. You can cry about it as much as you like but only US has that ability.

@clashreport I recently had an idea that the huge data center build-up in US isn’t necessarily tied to AI but the ability to lead in cyber related attacks.

@DaveDishy @RnaudBertrand Let’s see, I think the time where US wages wars for others without getting a lot in return is over.

@rohanpaul_ai Oversimplification. The amount of skill and technical knowledge that is required to correctly steer an LLM is stunning and is what makes a final product stand out vs blend into the slop category. Few understand this as only few have that skill.

@amlivemon You are comparing apples and oranges.

@JesseKNL Let’s emphasize *currently* here. Was that the case when Putin attacked Ukraine? No, so there is a lack of reason in your statement.

[John Galt @abakulus]

@Nostre_damus Putin’s 3 day special military operation is now 1600 days old. Few remember this.

[John Galt @abakulus]

@Kalshi They can’t match Western asset seizure so this “idea” won’t go anywhere.

[John Galt @abakulus]

@clashreport Since your economy is in shambles you had to do as you were told by USA. As predicted, it was all about the price Saudis needed to pay for US protection. Those petro dollas need to go into T-bills.

[John Galt @abakulus]

@itswpceo Wrong, the first NO from US is to put a salt on the useless pact Saudis made with Turkey and Pakistan. The second one will depend on whether they are ready to pay for US military presence across ME. Those dollas need to go into T-bills !

[John Galt @abakulus]

@BrettErickson28 Trump refused it to twist the knife from the failed Mecca Pact which made the US mad (plus Saudis meddled with Chinese about settling oil payments in renminbi) and now it is about a price that Saudis need to pay for US military operations across ME.

[John Galt @abakulus]

@clashreport Hate to break it to you but Saudi Arabia disagrees.

Looks like today may be a record day for token volume % of open models on Vercel AI Gateway:

🟦 Open 78.4% 🟨 Closed 21.6%

While spend 💲 usually tells a different story, #3 and #4 today are Moonshot AI & DeepSeek. Adding Z⁠.ai, their combined spend surpasses OpenAI (#2).

(Do note that's the spend for inference of the model across providers (mostly in the US), not revenue going directly to the open weight labs.)

@sashafrp @MacroJason @bibo_247 @teodorio What a lack of knowledge.
