TRANSCRIPTS OF VLADIMIR PUTIN'S RESPONSES TO TUCKER CARLSON'S QUESTIONS:
U.S. TRYING TO WEAKEN RUSSIA BUT IS MORE SCARED OF CHINA
“The West is more afraid of strong China than it fears a strong Russia, because Russia has 150 million people, and China has 1.5 billion population - and its economy is growing by leaps and bounds, or 5% a year; it used to be even more, but that's enough.
“For China, as Bismark once put it, potentials are the most important: China's potential is enormous.
"It is the biggest economy in the world today in terms of purchasing power parity, and in the size of the economy it has already overtaken the United States quite a long time ago, and it is growing at a rapid clip.”
.
.
YOU TRICKED US
“Let's not talk about who is afraid of whom. Let's not reason in such terms. And let's get into the fact that after 1991, when Russia expected that it would be welcomed into the brotherly family of civilized nations, nothing like this happened.
“You tricked us. I don't mean you personally. When I say ‘you’ of course I'm talking about the United States.
“The promise was that NATO would not expand eastward but it happened five times. There were five waves of expansion.
“We tolerated all that. We were trying to persuade them, we were saying: Please don't. We are as bourgeois now as you are! We are a market economy and there is no Communist Party power.
.
.
WEAPONIZING DOLLAR IS MASSIVE ERROR
“You know, to use the dollar as a tool of foreign policy struggle is one of the biggest strategic mistakes made by the US political leadership […]
“I would not like to use any strong language but it is a stupid thing to do and a grave mistake.
“Look at what is going on in the world: Even the United States' allies are now downsizing their dollar reserves. Seeing this, everyone starts looking for ways to protect themselves. But the fact that the United States applies restrictive measures to certain countries such as placing restrictions on transactions, freezing assets, etc., causes great concern and sends a signal to the whole world.
“What did we have here [in Russia]? Until 2022, about 80% of Russian foreign trade transactions were made in US Dollars and Euros. US Dollars accounted for approximately 50% of our transactions with third countries, while currently it is down to 13%.
“It wasn't us who banned the use of the US dollar. We had no such intention. It was the decision of the United States to restrict our transactions in US Dollars.
“I think it is complete foolishness from the point of view of the interests of the United States itself and its taxpayers, as it damages the US economy, undermines the power of the United States across the world."
.
.
CHINESE YUAN IS RISING
“By the way, our transactions in Yuan accounted for about 3% [in the past]. Today 34% of our transactions are made in Rubles and about as much, a little over 34%, in Yuan.
“Why did the United States do this? My only guess is self-conceit. they probably thought it would lead to full collapse. But nothing collapsed.
“Moreover, other countries including oil producers are thinking of and already accepting payments for oil in Yuan.
“Do you even realize what is going on or not? does anyone in United States realize this? What are you doing? You are cutting yourself off. All experts say this. Ask any intelligent and thinking person in the United States what the dollar means for the US. You're killing it with your own hands.”
.
.
CHINA IS UNFAIRLY DEMONIZED
“We have heard those Bogyman stories [about China] before. It is a Bogyman story.
“We're neighbors with China. You cannot choose neighbors. Just as you cannot choose close relatives. We share a border of a thousand kilometers with them: this is number one.
“Second, we have a centuries-long history of co-existence. We're used to it.
“Third, China's foreign policy philosophy is not aggressive. Its idea is to always look for compromise and we can see that.
“The next point is as follows: we are always told the same Bogeyman story and here it goes again, through a euphemistic form. But it is still the same Bogyman story."
.
.
PEOPLE ARE CO-OPERATING MORE WITH CHINA
“The cooperation with China keeps increasing. The pace at which China's cooperation with Europe is growing, is higher and greater than that of the growth of Chinese-Russian cooperation.
“Ask Europeans: Aren't they afraid? They might be. I don't know.
“But they are still trying to access China's market at all costs, especially now that they are facing economic problems. Chinese businesses are also exploring the European market.”
.
.
U.S. IS HURTING ITSELF
“Do Chinese businesses have a small presence in the United States? Yes.
“The political decisions are such that they are trying to limit their cooperation with China.
“It is to your own detriment, Mr Tucker, that you are limiting cooperation with China.
“You're hurting yourself. It is a delicate matter and there are no Silver Bullet solutions, just as it is with the dollar.
“So before introducing any illegitimate sanctions, illegitimate in terms of the charter of the United Nations, one should think very carefully. For decision makers this appears to be a problem.”
.
.
PEACEFUL TRADE
“We, together with my colleague and friend, President Xi Jinping, set a goal to reach $200 billion of mutual trade with China this year. We have exceeded this level according to our figures.
“Our bilateral trade with China totals already $230 billion and the Chinese statistics says it is $240 billion.
“One more important thing: our trade is well balanced, mutually complimentary in hitech and energy, scientific research and development: it is very balanced.”
.
.
YOU CAN’T STOP THE SUN RISING
“As for BRICS, where Russia took over the presidency this year, the BRICS countries are, by and large, developing very rapidly.
“Look: if memory serves me right, back in 1992, the share of the G-7 countries in the world economy amounted to 47%, whereas in 2022 it was down to I think a little over 30 %. The BRICS countries accounted for only 16% in 1992 but now their share is greater than that of the G7. It has nothing to do with the events in Ukraine. This is due to the trends of global development and the world economy, as I mentioned just now.
“And this is inevitable. This will keep happening. It is like the rise of the sun: you cannot prevent the sun from rising. You have to adapt to it.”
.
.
US RESPONDS BY LASHING OUT
“How does the United States adapt? With the help of force, sanctions, pressure, bombings, and use of armed forces!
“This is about self-conceit. Your political establishment does not understand that the world is changing, under objective circumstances, and in order to preserve your level, even if someone aspires to the level of dominance, you have to make the right decisions in a competent and timely manner.
“Such brutal actions, including with regard to Russia, and say other countries, are counterproductive. This is an obvious fact.”

The famed Stanford Smallville is officially open-source!
25 AI agents inhabit a digital Westworld, unaware that they are living in a simulation. They go to work, gossip, organize socials, make new friends, and even fall in love. Each has unique personality and backstory.
Smallville is among the most inspiring AI agent experiments in 2023. We often talk about a single LLM's emergent abilities, but multi-agent emergence could be way more complex and fascinating at scale. A population of AI can play out the evolution of an entire civilization.
Endless new possibilities ahead. Gaming will be the first to feel the impact.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary
Saying bye to Twitter for now. Need some time to work on myself.
This trend is NOT sustainable.
Hope you have a good Sunday.
First day of the rest of your life.
This line is so memorable for a reason.
It's a perfect use of "antimetabole" - the repetition of a phrase with its word order reversed.
Here are 8 more memorable rhetorical devices:

彭立发先生在四通桥惊世一呼的那天，我写了一篇声援文章。结果有个美国女士留言说：“他是为了移民吧？”
在毫不犹豫的拉黑她之前，我不客气的回了一句：“只有妓院里的老鸨，才会以为天下人都是出来买或者卖。”
因为我有这样卑劣的假设，所以你必然有这样卑劣的动机——也就是我们常说的“以小人之心，度君子之腹”。因为自己有一个低等动物的价值观，就想当然的认为世界是一个蒙昧的动物世界。
在部分中国人，尤其是海外打扮成“高华”的人群中，有一种独���的中国逻辑：问立场不问事实，问动机不问是非，问亲疏不问黑白。他们根本不承认人之为人有脱离动物的高尚情操——虽然他们又觉得自己比普通中国人高级。
世界并不是一个皮条场。某个人有一个老鸨的世界观不要紧，但得知道这个世界还有阳春白雪、十里春风，有嫉恶如仇、爱憎分明，有高山流水、恬静安详……有无数正常的，称得上人的情操和生活。
这样的情操和生活，无法给老鸨们解释。
昨日发推后，不少推友说 Transformer 似乎有种跨语言的能力，同时隐含着中文语料大小未必是瓶颈。索性花多点篇幅解释一下。
首先说一下我在大语言模型上的一些经验吧。我从 2016 年 Attention is all you need 出来之前就在训练大的代码语言模型。Transformer 出现之后我在 Reddit 训练过多个 LLM。
说一个大多风险资本不懂， 行内人为了赢得不明就里的风投而故意不讲的一个公开秘密，即：
现有的中文语料大小和质量，与 GPT-3 或者 ChatGPT 使用的主要是英文的语料相比，无论是质量还是数量都差好几倍。
而这一点，是多年来中文互联网高质量开放式内容贫乏，内容在自家高墙之内的福报
This is perhaps the worst humiliation. Vladimir Vladimirovich was imagining himself walking around in Kiev in March 2022, just as Hilter and Churchill toured Paris and Berlin, respectively, the type of thing that makes a conquest a conquest.

这些是世界公认最好的金融/经济专业书，严谨有趣味。
你要听懂分析师在说什么？看懂WSJ的报道，揣摩鲍威尔的心思，你就要花一定心血，把这几本书给啃掉。
金融圈精英们的话术、工具模型、思维方式，这些书是源头。
它们比投资理财休闲读物要略难一些，但非常非常值得。
啃完之后，你离CFA不远了。1/
