- No. Never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake. The conventional wisdom is that Iran was is a mistake. No need to believe that Xi advisors are of different opinion.
- Probably some AI safety pact that makes sure that only China and USA have advanced AI.
- Absolutely no. China is not infringing the rights on people that someone gives a fuck about.
- How can you change something that doesn't exists. The US is in strategic ambiguity for so long that I am not convinced that coherent position even exists.
- Nope.

That is not how it will work. Every product is a series of decisions. Which is the bottleneck in our post chatgpt world for software development. To get a fully tailored solution you will have to take them. And we don't know if we can train AI to approximate a specific human good enough, so that your eventual virtual avatar could take them.

How can you spend 2000$?

It is surprising how much can you achieved with good prompt and harnesses nowadays with how little tokens. The problem is that the majority of people using AI are too stupid to be lazy in the proper ways. I think that a tornado is coming. Probably later than anticipated, but the white collars brains are afraid (insert starship troopers movie meme here) - especially the ones who deep down always knew that their intellectual labor is neither extremely intellectual nor much useful. I am already seeing proposals for excise tax on tokens. And I think that the big hyperscalers grossly underestimate how much optimizations are left in the pipeline.
The compute cost on tools is low, agents are becoming quite adept at tool calling - so agents creating their own tools and tool calls is totally expected ... in a way this is what programmers have always done.
There is lots of performance left to be squeezed out of each token. And relatively small hyper focused models also doesn't seem to be getting the attention it deserves.

Right now Iranian elite have internet while the plebs no. It is the same as with the US imposed blockade. For the US interests is best if no one has internet in Iran than only some. Aka showing that it is on US terms.

Why hasn't USA and Israel cut the cables that connect Iran to the rest of the internet. I don't see any downsides for them and it is a nice way to counter the state imposed blackout.

And when I buy couple of tonnes of peroxide and acetone it is because I really like to get my nails done and I am very clumsy and always have road rash on my knees.

So you claim that they get to 60% in 10 years?

What about burning the oil wells ? Once they start burning they are pretty hard to put down.

What do you think the chances are that we are currently in a large (AI related or not AI related) bubble that will pop? It seems like the money printing of the past few years has massive upward pressure on the stock market so I don't know how to unpick the two.
Betting against AI will make you broke, betting for AI will make you broke. Staying away is the smartest thing so far. Take Deepseek - they did magic with inference and the model is next to free now. I use it as daily drivers for heavy coding sessions and it is essentially free - I can barely burn trough 1$ daily. Even if they increase the price - I guess I will have the same USD consumption after 31st of may because flash is just a gem. With china compute ramping up and open models being so close behind the closed ones - the margins that Anthropic and OpenAI expect are just not there.
On the other hand - the technology is transformative. I don't think that there is a single programmer left that doesn't use AI heavily - even the holdouts grudgingly started to admit that latest models are better than juniors. I expect tokens to end up like electricity and oil - ubiquitous, affordable, metered by consumption but absolutely commodified with a mix of locally and remotely running models.

There was huge mail order bride industry in the Eastern Bloc after 1990. And huge porn for whatever is worth. With going rates of 100$ for a shoot if you believe producers. And sex tourism too. If normalized in the last years, so I guess we actually caught up to the west.

Even if GDP was the same in the countries listed, the gini coefficient was wildly off. You can check how poor a country is by how many mail order brides it generates if the women there are hot.

That is totally not true. The recovery in Balkans was at best 2006-2007. And then the global financial crisis hit. The standard of living took almost 20 years to recover. And arguably for people that are retired it never did.

The population of USSR and Warsaw pact was roughly 500 million that got their living standards fall 3 times overnight. During the 90s we had even food insecurity and hunger.

No. Because the fall of the Soviet Union threw probably half a billion people into massive poverty. To which almost 40 years later we still haven't totally climbed of.

Pulled pork that sous vided two months ago. Memphis dust salt, 24h at 74C. Today finished for half and hour at 150c oven.

"Likes both Hitler and Netanyahu" is odd enough to be worth contrasting,
Is it? Both need Lebensraum, both view their neighbors as potential targets for conquest, both draw their legitimacy from historic grievances, nationalists, conservative, preside over some of the best engineering minds in the world. Both policies could lead to their countries potential downfall. Somewhat cavalier attitude towards the civilian suffering and deaths inflicted on the populations they subjugate.
If you have a general liking to nationalist strongman, they are not that different aside from their answers on the jewish question.

When people say Indian they think the vocalist of Bloodywood and not the rapper of Bloodywood.

One of the longest living populations in the world subsists on cigarettes, wine, prossecco, prosciutto, salami and aged cheese ...
As long as your kidneys are ok and you drink a lot of water - salt is not really an issue.

P.Diddy ... time to bring DEI into child abuse.
God is quantum gravity or dark matter. We have looked up the gravity well to the galaxies and there is no god. We have looked downwards is chemistry quantum mechanics and there is no god. So only two places for him to exist are in the interaction of those those two yet irreconcilable theories or that mysterious thing that is 5 time more than all baryonic matter.
So some vast entangled conscious network spanning the whole galaxy - why not. The case for human consciousness being related to quantum effects is getting stronger - that would explain quite well some weird stuff going on. And as a bonus - due to Heisenberg principle free will does exist.
