@ArthurCDent @thebadstats No. Insufficient attention to detail and disregarding the preponderance of high quality evidence - you, not them. Like Dan, you're excited that Gemini or Claude can do a neat clustered correlation matrix and think that means that the brutal lossmaking of AI can be waved away

[Trouscallion @trouscallion]

@the_sigh_op2 @thebadstats LOL
Listen buddy - I'll wait and you wait too ok?
I recommend you put all your spare cash into AI stocks.
If OpenAI and Anthropic ever IPO - lean into that hard ok ?
Come see me in 12 months.

[Trouscallion @trouscallion]

@thebadstats In fact, *you* have something in common with anti-vaxxers in that your motivated reasoning precludes the neutral assessment of arguments that the preponderance of well-evidenced data favors.

[Trouscallion @trouscallion]

@thebadstats None of them is making a profit and the entire industry at this point is circular financing.
You were right when you unseriously said "the ...economics make it unsustainable and investors are just idiots who don't realize it's about to come crashing down".
Correct.

[Trouscallion @trouscallion]

@thebadstats You've used ClaudeCode, found it the coolest thing evah and are now like "How could this be bad? - It's gotta be worth the trillion and a 1/4 dollars they've sunk into it!" No of them is making a profit - not even remotely- and they have no path to profit.

@thebadstats Are you such a sweet summer child , for such an irony-drenched persona and account ?
Zitron is arguably annoying but every one of his central arguments RE the AI industry are cogent, evidenced and very rational. Ask your AI if you like - it will agree with Zitron, not Altman

[Trouscallion @trouscallion]

@thebadstats The possibility remains -and I clutch at it,cause I've loved your account - that your hyper-irony - albeit a strange US kinda version of irony - is an explanation for such a spankingly off-base post

[Trouscallion @trouscallion]

@thebadstats Well you and your friend are lazy dipshits.
Tell us about how the AI "that damn well works, hey!" is going to defy all laws of business and of economics and be anywhere close profitable in the next 1 ->10 years.
Then go on with your friend and disprove Newton's theory of gravity

@Oksii33 @rshereme I really don't think he is - but he is disturbingly right wing ("all the US Democrat presidents were shit, Ronald Reagan was God" etc etc..). Hate it.

@Oksii33 @Kasparov63 Oksii do you have a link for him saying that? Genuine question - not being combative . I thought this thread of his was really spot-on until I read your comment and went Oh !

The only question that Russian opposition has to answer in the West to be platformed is "do you oppose Putin". During the Cold War, the only question Russian dissidents had to answer is "do you oppose Soviet communism". That's how anti-communist Russian imperialists got Western support. But, in the end, when the USSR fell, those platformed dissidents remained far from power. It looks like the same is going to happen with today's dissidents after Putin is gone.

The protests in Georgia are massively underreported by the media.

Please, don't stop talking about it, share information, amplify Georgian voices and what they're going through.

The United States continues to insist on lowering the mobilization age to 18 years.
You correctly understood the problem - it is in the infantry, but you misunderstood the cause of the problem - this is not a dry quantity, but the collapse of the entire system - from training centers to the management and motivation.

Since there is no one to contact with this in Ukraine, I will briefly describe it here.

1) Clear deadlines for demobilization.

The state cannot escape this: as long as there is an entrance without an exit, mobilization will fail and the number of deserters will grow.
You cannot wage a war at the expense of the same people: this demotivates and deepens the gap within society.

2) To prevent the front from collapsing because of point 1, the demobilization mechanism is proportional to those mobilized per month.

Let's say: we recruited 30 thousand people, offered 15 thousand military personnel to demobilize. The criterion here should be service life (we should start with the infantry and change them first).

3) The infantry must be recruited under separate contracts of 3-6 months with a fixed rate of 5 thousand dollars, which no commander can cancel.

The principle of private military companies with a fair contract: from you - a conscious decision to go to the most dangerous sectors of the front with the greatest risk of death or injury; from the state - real professional training, a high fixed rate and the ability to exit the system in a relatively short time.

Without this, the army will continue to have numbers at the front, not fighters.

If the White House believes that the number of those mobilized to the front is equal to the number of fighters at the front, let them think again. Because out of 20 frightened marginals who were gathered from the outback of the country - fighters who are not afraid of a shot from their own machine gun (this is a common occurrence, if anyone didn’t know) there will be 5-7. And this figure will continue to decline.

4) Training centers - this is where everything starts to fall apart. This is the concentration of the USSR in the worst sense and a loss of time, health and motivation.

I would reduce the stay in training to two weeks and leave it as a logistics hub for further distribution to brigades and real training abroad.
During these two weeks, recruits must shoot, shoot and shoot again from morning to evening: practical training in handling different types of weapons and combat tactics.

5) A mechanism for removing from office and demoting (including to private) any commander on the recommendation of 2/3 of the personnel: from the brigade commander to the platoon commander.

Until there is such an opportunity, those who are far from the front will continue to give a damn about those who hold this front. Hence - desertion and demotivation, which lead to abandonment of positions.

Without these fundamental changes and adequate timely supply of weapons from the West, recruiting 18-year-old boys will mean burying them in the same way as we are losing people now at the front in this system.

So he stopped tweeting exactly the same time Tulsi Gabbard did. I guess they both received the confirmation Assad would leave in advance.

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

The paralysis and failure of the previous U.S. administrations’ foreign policy now becomes obvious

A fear to confront Assad and to support Ukraine and Georgia against Russia in 2008, 2014, 2015, and 2022 got us to the today’s mess

So many people died for no reason
