@pplsartofwar I know, I'm agreeing.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@TheBackPage Lol, or else what? What exactly can "the media" do in retaliation? Spell it out.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@BBelefski Ehh ... as long as someone knows someone who saw them at a party, it's real enough. Sports are a conduit for tribal identity, once the identity is established, milk the alums for donations forever.

@teortaxesTex Having said that, any of these guys would be better than "don't get mad at me I'm a smol bean" Dean Ball. The labs should pick up some of them if they want an actually effective government relations arm.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@teortaxesTex I think this is more of a RAND audition tape for AI lab money. The RAND of today is not the RAND of the Cold War, where it was an unofficial mouthpiece of the USG. It's definitely a couple notches above CNAS and CSIS slop, but this is not von Neumann thundering from Olympus.

@ns123abc Banger tweet. We can realign the currently misaligned by enforcing current laws and deterring them with criminal prosecution.

Aligned, easy.

@ns123abc Absolute fucking hero. Nuke them all, Jensen. It's a race now, can OpenAI and Anthropic replace NVIDIA chips before NVIDIA gets the open source model ecosystem to replace them. The absolutely highest stakes battle for the future of the lightcone.

@jaxoncoder This is good, but only works once you've reached a certain level. At entry-level, you need to project eagerness and humility. Mid-level, you shift somewhat. Only after you are a direct report to senior execs, with regular interaction with other senior execs, should you do this.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@teortaxesTex Really? Cordoba was so nice tho...

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@teortaxesTex Understandable. The Russian soul is forged in winter and suffering. Tortured artists contending with existential angst. Argentinians are children of the sun, there's a charming lightness and optimism. To find happiness, you must first allow yourself to feel happiness.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@teortaxesTex Also, aren't you basically Russian? Are you fat, are you short? If not, you'll be just fine in Argentina. If that's not working out, go to SF, some mid Asian will snap you up instantly. I wouldn't recommend it, but that option is always there.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@teortaxesTex My Argentinian Kaifeng (and Slavic-coded) bro ... with all sincerity, there are seasons to life. Right now you're riding the tiger, somehow you're a major nerve center of AI twitter. But this will pass, and when it does, don't fight it, exit with dignity and find your love.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@teortaxesTex LOL, Dylan has gone full mask-off since the Jensen interview.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@teortaxesTex Trump, whatever his faults, has an animal instinct for recognizing raw power and strength. He doesn't understand DUV litho any more than he understands Houthi drone capabilities. He just wants to make a deal, the great-man-of-history handshake. I think Xi knows how to play this.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@teortaxesTex To use the parlance, these are boba liberals - whitewashed, Asian-American strivers with the zeal of converts. They proclaim their faith to the neolib-blob twice as fervently because of, not in spite of, their surnames.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@philippilk The Poles are fulfilling their highest calling - dying on the battlefield against Russians in the hopes of finally being accepted as European.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@jynpang They aren't terrified by their shadows, they see their power slowly slipping away and are grasping at AGI as their wunderwaffe to secure eternal dominance.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@posta_octavian Go for it - Europe and Russia deserve each other. Bomb yourselves into the stone age, and then let your smoldering ruins get overrun by migrants. The US and China are in a race for the stars, do what ever makes you happy.

[josiah_lee @josiah_leee]

@kyleichan The radicalization wasn't just from Dario, it was the chip and litho embargo as well. The young STEM elite believe with absolute conviction that the US is trying to sabotage Chinese progress, and it is their patriotic duty to prevent this. Huawei, Unitree, Deepseek, all of them.
