Since the world cup is over, this is arguably the goal of the tournament.

[Leonardo Silva @LeoSilvaRML]

Não foi a Espanha. Quem derrotou os argentinos foi o Egito, quando através do seu futebol de alto nível, expôs ao mundo a roubalheira da FIFA a ponto de a crise gerada após esse jogo obrigar eles a abortar os planos e contentá-la com o 2ª lugar.

🇦🇷‼️ Argentinian players took the loss beastly too and started fights on the field.

Disgraceful … riots on the streets of Buenos Aires followed.

Do you realize how unlikeable of a country you have to be for LATINOS to root for SPAIN (the country that colonized them) over you??????

No one even knows why Spain’s goal was overturned everyone just assumes it is rigged for Argentina

Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.

Never thought I'd agree with Palantir, but here we are

[Palantir @PalantirTech]

Our thoughts on the importance of AI sovereignty.

1. Your AI sovereignty dictates your institution’s future. Sovereignty is the precondition for choice. Relinquishing sovereignty transfers the future choices of your institution to others, who are likely to exploit it for their gain and your loss.

2. Data retention is your treasure. Transfer it at your own peril. Your ability to win is dictated by your ability to recognize and use your unique edges, and you keep winning by compounding the underlying data to generate new insights. Transferring that data hands over access to your pre-existing winning plays and yields the means of production for new ones.

3. Tokenmaxxing hijacks your value orientation and decreases your institutional fortitude and intelligence. The pursuit of high token usage incentivizes disposable scripts over robust software — with the addictive feeling of false progress. There is a reason why those selling tokens refuse to charge based on value.

4. Controlling your weights is controlling your fate. Weights are the distilled form of hard-won, accumulated institutional knowledge. If you let others control your weights, you are allowing them to migrate the alpha of your business to theirs.

5. There is no contradiction between sovereignty and alpha. The architecture that maximally preserves sovereignty is one that enables institutions to own their tribal knowledge, and to compound it as alpha.

6. Politicizing the technical issues involving sovereignty is what your adversary wants. Techno-politicization is the wellspring of false sovereignty. Techno-politicization drives decisions that seem to reduce dependency, but ultimately limit agency — especially on the battlefield in the West.

7. Real expertise is existential. Allowing politics or favoritism to determine your technical decisions rewards whoever is best at politics, not whoever is right. Listen to those closest to the problems, not those speaking most compellingly about them.

8. Learn from institutions that are winning or that have consistently delivered. Institutions facing existential threats do not have the luxury of making technical decisions based on political preferences.

9. Only listen to institutions, countries, and people who have a proven record of being right. A track record of correctness is the best and only signal for future correctness. Judging something as right or wrong based on who you like is exceedingly misguided.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Many don’t know, but I have been posting a it this for years.

Cannabis is a potent source of the heavy metal cadmium.

Cadmium inhaled via cannabis is absorbed at a much higher rate (~50%) than cadmium ingested in food (5-20%).

This metal has a strong affinity for accumulating in tissues that are zinc-rich because these two elements are very physiochemically similar.

The testicles are a very zinc-rich tissue and zinc is used specifically for spermatogenesis.

In some animal models, cadmium is such a potent carcinogen a single injection of it into rat testicles is enough to cause testicular cancer.

Certainly there may be other things that mediate this cannabis effect on spermatogensis but the effects of cadmium can’t be overstated.

Wow. Everyone should read this 1983 article by Roald Dahl. Every word of it. It's literally the same fucking shit as now, with the same kind of impunity, only now it's even much worse. He called it. He fucking called it and they just ignored him and called him an antisemite.
