The worst-case scenario for the United States is becoming increasingly realistic, and I will briefly explain why.

@quxiaoyin raised many valid points, and I agree with her. First of all:

-China certainly does not place such strong emphasis on open source because it cares so deeply about humanism, but because it is a strategy to attract many users, gain market share, put pressure on US models, and also because the models are increasingly being trained on Huawei hardware (think of DeepSeek 4), allowing China to host the entire stack domestically.

-But the underlying logic is far more important: The United States is still building too few data centers to meet future demand. @ChrisGillett wrote an outstanding analysis on this, which I shared a week ago. In short, based on SemiAnalysis data, demand is greater than what is currently being built in terms of data centers.

-Even more importantly, however, the United States lacks sufficient energy and grid capacity. This is a problem that will become much more severe in the near future. China, by contrast, is addressing the issue through a massive expansion of its energy supply. Solar capacity: in 2025 alone, China installed as much solar capacity as the United States did in 10 to 15 years. China is also building 36 nuclear power plants, significantly more than the United States, and is installing them faster.

-In addition, China is managing to become more independent through Huawei chips, even though the country still lags far behind NVIDIA. But here, China is betting on quantity rather than quality.

In short: China is a real threat in the AI race, and the situation for the United States is becoming increasingly precarious. This is also the main reason why China is to be kept away from SOTA LLMs at all costs, so as not to jeopardize the lead under any circumstances.

Asmongold might reconsider his stance on same-sx adoptions after checking out the data on Grok

"Holy sh*t, so u guys were right..if the data showed this, and if this is actually what represents the difference between same sx versus heterosexual sx adoptions and it's 10x more likely..ya I'd make it so u can't do it"

"I'm gonna read more into this..cause this is kind of extreme right?..well nobody wants to talk about this b it's an inconvenient truth..if this data shows what it seems to show, then ya I would totally ban same sx adoption"

"Best ur gonna get out of me bc I don't want to make a decision..it is a complex, serious issue and I'd rather spend time and actually understand it"

Boomers bought $70k houses while making $40k a year. They are trying to convince Gen Z that 700k starter homes at 60k income is the same thing.

This is Germany…

They imported migrants that abuse their women and ban a film about someone that puts an end to the abuse.

Insane.

A baby girl was delivered by C-section just 30 minutes after her 17-year-old mother, Katelynn Strate, was 🔫 in the head during a road rage incident north of New Orleans.

Doctors placed Strate on life support long enough to deliver her daughter, who was born two months premature, weighing 3 pounds, 11 ounces.

According to a GoFundMe organized for the family, Strate later passed away.

Police arrested 54-year-old Barry West, who is accused of firing a 🔫 from his pickup truck that hit Strate in the head. West claimed he believed Strate and her boyfriend had fired at him first, but investigators say they found no evidence to support that claim.

His exact words: “the collapse point may not be far away.”

Another major Chinese fund: “the trigger has already appeared.”

Bank of Canada, Bank of International Settlement, and European Central Bank now all warning international insurers and pensions not to purchase US data center debt as the US is likely headed into financial catastrophe on defaults. Happy to see $BX is already willing and ready to dump every one of their empty data centers back to pensions in default.

Divorce lawyer James Sexton on why modern marriage feels unfair to men.

He says the man is expected to provide financially, protect, and be part of the family, all enforceable by the state. But the woman’s side (love, affection, sex, being a good mother) can’t be forced.

If he fails, he can go to jail. If she fails, nothing.

He told the story of an air traffic controller who lost his high-paying job due to anxiety after his mother died. The court still imputed his old salary for child support, leading to jail time when he couldn’t pay.

What’s your opinion, do you think the legal risks in marriage are unfairly stacked against men?

You can see signs of 'peak youth' everywhere you look.

For example, there are school consolidations and shutdowns happening across much of the country, and even amusement parks are going away.

Aging is going to deliver huge changes faster than you think.

🚨FORD REHIRES 350 ENGINEERS AFTER REPLACING THEM WITH AI

Ford’s VP of engineering admitted the company “mistakenly thought” AI alone could replace experienced workers and still produce high-quality vehicles, per The Verge.

Ford has recalled more cars than any other US automaker this year after cutting over 5,000 workers since 2020.

CEO Jim Farley previously declared that AI is “going to replace literally half of all white-collar workers.”
