I am inspired by God. But what did God say exactly? I don't know, and I don't care. It's God's approach regardless -- or rather, post-God. But is post-God still God? Have God's disciples twisted His teachings? Does it matter? It's God's approach. How can one live without God?!

Global AI experts push back on US ‘distillation’ claims.‘“Yes, Fable went public on July 1 and K3 launched on July 15. We trained a brand new frontier model in JUST 15 DAYS. Guinness World Record stuff,” Moonshot AI employee Randy Xian wrote on X.’ https://t.co/I6ZtEQBXUy

Britain does not have a presidential system; instead, it has an undemocratic system where an unelected Prime Minister can wield executive authority comparable to a president, overturning the policies of an elected predecessor at will.

“If America is now withdrawing the certainty of unconditional rescue, that may be the last gift it can give. What follows will test not Israel’s might, which is not in doubt, but whether it can learn the discipline that sovereignty demands.”

The Jewish state reproduces the ghetto in national form: “A state armed like a regional power, yet increasingly unable to imagine a political future beyond force, has narrowed the Zionist promise into a garrison and mistaken that narrowing for security.” https://t.co/oDSWeGs2FC

The United States has restricted the sale of technology to China for a quarter of a century. As China's technological prowess grows, it is following suit and formulating its own list of export controls on technology. https://t.co/STWlqpl58g

Makerfield does not speak for the UK, nor does Manchester. Policy changes demand a fresh mandate. To stop ambitious politicians from using a backdoor route to No.10, we must formally separate the election of a party leader from the appointment of the PM. https://t.co/o0PiT3b153

“In addition to ending taxpayer-funded support, …Israel must also comply with international law and U.S. policy. That means no offensive weapons should be sold unless Israel agrees to a time-bound plan to end the occupation and enact a two-state solution.”https://t.co/J8vVj2KKHT

This is heart-wrenching to read. I wonder what sort of people would give Israel unconditional support? Racists, certainly. https://t.co/2hc0fAnok6 via @NYTOpinion

If the government bans pro-Palestinian protests, Labour will lose more voters to the Greens, Plaid Cymru, the SNP, and the Liberal Democrats.

Daniel Gros: ”China has subsidised battery production and other clean technologies. Europe can benefit from cheaper batteries and cheaper inputs for the green transition. From that perspective, one could even say: thank you for subsidising them.” https://t.co/rxqSPuqA3j

“the problem wasn’t Chinese overcapacity, it was constrained demand everywhere else in the world.” “it turns out Chinese ‘overcapacity’ is the world’s largest buffer stock against a crisis like the one we face.”https://t.co/epmkFlQvc9

Crisis looms over the world economy, livelihoods, and food security. Instability threatens to become widespread, yet British politicians remain fixated on an appointment that has already been rebuked. https://t.co/uX5iD3Qtm8

“China and the Philippines have had clashes. Guess what? The Chinese patrol boat attacked the Philippines boats with water. Okay? Hoses of water. I would love to go to Gaza and see in Gaza the Israeli troops attack Gaza with hoses of water.” https://t.co/LNLi336RWw

“But if a U.S. leader went to China and offered to scrap chip controls in exchange for collaboration on A.I. nonproliferation, there would be at least some chance of the proposal succeeding.” https://t.co/R9D3eHv2qK via @NYTOpinion

Cheng: “Xi responded positively to her appeal for Taiwan to be able to take part in international organisations.” “Taiwan can shake hands without sacrificing anything.”
Taiwan simply needs to be friendly with China to defuse tension in the Taiwan Strait. https://t.co/HYFLUCxSHy

China disappoints those who lump it together with Iran in an “axis of evil,” particularly following its condemnation of Tehran. The real axis of military aggressors and territorial expansionists comprises Russia, Israel, and the USA. https://t.co/28mDAgHw1g

Curt Mills: “there is an attempt to say any criticism of Israel is ipso facto antisemitic. I think it is, well, … the kind of argument that the right is supposed to be against, which is woke political correctness. It's also just fundamentally untrue …” https://t.co/CwXntnGiar

Israel has bombed schools and killed children, yet the United States has failed to hold it to account. Washington is now levelling down with its “war buddy.” https://t.co/3YQJWB6oAG
