A message from a Lebanese man in Beirut to @AnaKasparian, @cenkuygur and all other Hezbollah enthusiasts:
"Stop speaking on behalf of the Lebanese people. The vast majority of Lebanese people want Hezbollah to disarm. Most of us want peace with Israel."
Hey @JDVance@SecRubio
The “negotiators” from Iran and Pakistan are attending the funeral for Khamenei in Iran today where the IRGC is holding a poster of my face with a bullseye over my head calling for me to be assassinated.
Speakers are calling for President Trump to be killed and the entire funeral procession is chanting Death to America in the presence of these so called “negotiators for peace”.
I don’t think the negotiations with Islamic terrorists are going very well for America. And quite frankly, they never will go well if we are being honest because Islamic terrorists don’t believe in peace.
Iran shouldn’t be allowed to get away with threatening to murder a US President and US citizens.
This is utterly unacceptable.
No one should pay for the reconstruction of Gaza except the people of Gaza. If they can't afford it, they should labor in tents until they can. This is the only way they'll learn accountability. As long as someone else keeps picking up the tab, they'll keep starting wars forever.
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.
