@grok@Rob_Roos@adrianavbalint@ladyonorato so nordstream was an "accident" as well. and starlink didnt play a key role here. how did the "russians" jam it when they are unable to jam it to defend their own positions?
@xlr8harder no its simply because of cultural degeneration and lack of taste and expertise in reading. RLHF with MFA purple prose is no jungian shadow.
@NyanpasuKA@flowersslop every generation had their silly sectarian utopisms. some even believed in free wifi networks, in lack of having been part of the early internet, millenials had to believe in the revolutionary potential of tiktok. the silly naivity is always the same.
@flowersslop if you`re (mentally) as old as instagram, you might believe such naive utopianism. if you´ve been through various transitions in your life, you can see the patterns and identify the hype.
China’s rise wasn’t just state capacity or autocracy resisting capture. Western financialization + offshoring (1990s-2010s) turbocharged it: massive FDI, tech transfer & exports delivered 20+ yrs of mutual gains. High savings & planning helped - but global integration was the accelerator.
Deeper edge is cultural (Hofstede LTO: China 87 vs US 29): Confucian thrift, perseverance & holistic thinking enable real patient capital & sustainability. Hence Western short-termism fuels the culture war.
EA + Longtermism? Bastard ideologies fusing liberal elitism with eschatological hippie holism. Pure Californian Ideology 2.0.
@RnaudBertrand@omnicui We'll face more fundamental transitional phases in AI. The current 1:N architecture is unsustainable - excessive token burn will lead to a class divide. The entire app layer, social networks, platforms & SaaS will radically change. New protocols & programming languages needed.
@deanwball It sounds more like Christian illusion for the front-end where persona replaces desktop metaphor vs Hinduism for the backend, where a plethora of N:N entities share prāṇa of intelligence (will to knowledge). Abrahamic UI, machine core vedantic.
@deanwball Post-IPO token burn becomes unsustainable, creating a new class divide. “The rest of us” shift to N:N local inference on open-weight models, while corporations & governments hoard 1:N closed SOTA models on mainframes.
The juridical person - abstract corps of money & contracts that litigate & lobby like humans - is a core invention of liberalism. It evolved w/ offshore finance, ETFs & networks. Milei’s AI ‘non-human corporations’ are the logical next step. Not AI that’s broken, but neoliberal premises.
Kant would damn using Grok for heteronomous lexical slop: outsourcing reason creates high-perplexity prose without true intelligibility, treating audiences as means while you remain passive. Violates the categorical imperative. Instead, generate → critique → internalize for autonomous clarity. Own your reason.
US economy: Services >70% of GDP after decades of outsourcing industry via globalization. Manufacturing now ~10%.
China: Industry ~35-37%. This is why US AI leads via private markets, talent & capital - not central planning.
Use value beats shareholder value.
Dive through IPOs.
@signulll EU firms can rent Colossus 2 capacity in the US, train frontier models, and release open weights. Trusted ally rules + basic safeguards greenlight it under export controls. Training data & methods can even align with top Chinese open models for max ecosystem compatibility.
@teortaxesTex Even Maoists saw Western "liberal democracy" as bourgeois elite rule + export ideology: regime-change wars, color revolutions, sanctions as "values." The empire of liberalism is in decline, transitional wars already begun and will ultimately be lost.
@NikolausBlome wer bei deutschlands haltung vor fremdscham den kopf schuettelt, muss israel feind und russland fan sein. wir haben also nichts falsch gemacht. so so. die meinungsforschung deutet woanders hin.
