@iamgingertrash@SecScottBessent no one in the Chinese military has ever been in a war
their military equipment sold to Iran appears to be ineffective
we've been in the gym fighting forever wars, getting fit, thinking through past mistakes

@McFaul Did you read what you just wrote?
Funding terrorism across the ME, building a nuclear program, mass producing missiles and drones, dragging out negotiations for decades, chanting death to America, arming Russia. You need them to lay out the plan on TikTok live to believe it?
@iamgingertrash@zerohedge Why do you not think the US and Israel cannot do a Venezuela on Iran? Doesn’t this calculus only play out for China if this conflict is prolonged? Each authoritarian state, outside of China, appears weaker and more of a house of cards year by year. Maybe I’m missing something.
@Akuma73x@iamgingertrash Many “smart” people still think America is a democracy and can’t see it for what is - a decentralized, bureaucratic oligarchy. Dario actually seems to know this, which is why he’s worried laws won’t really govern Claude usage. But you can’t shield a child from the real world.
@tenobrus IMO, the hivemind increasingly projecting onto AI that it will go bad is actually increasing the odds AI will go bad more than the technology itself. Prayer would be more useful.
@kelxyz_ btc's past is certainly impressive. one concern I see moving forward is the opportunity cost of not owning direct beneficiaries of a slow or fast AI takeoff may just be too high. better money is a great thing, but does it outperform AGI economically? i'd say no
