i'm pretty sure if greece tried that then it would have gotten hit HARD given the threat such a move would have posed to capital in the US

but as doctorow points out countries across the world are being given a shitty bargain by trump which could mean mass action across the world

> on Monday

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default

“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

Such is also how it seems to me, do some International Relations Knowers have links or analysis they can share on this? Because it seems that ever since, I dunno, the Libya Strikes or so, Western powers have been de facto incentivising nuclear proliferation while claiming to decry it. Bizarre!

i will take ten trillion remakes of lady ghostbusters over one more minute of this fucking bullshit

Katy Perry signs up for a Claude pro plan

what

that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be

Claude as the hippie flower child in AI equivalent of Haight-Ashbury

Gemini as depressive English student with Eeyore-like moods about not being good enough

ChatGPT as a slick-talking and slightly scammy "young entrepreneur"

Grok as sad teenager locked up in house w/ abusive Nazi dad

Bye Bitch!

Dean W. Ball Y @deanwball X.com Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies. In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War. This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

I mean there are plenty Catholic schools without nuns. They're run by monks instead.

Sharon: The published NEET

I increasingly think Starmer is personally a gigantic racist rather than a kind of soulless loser who thinks it's good politics.

I work in the RLHF space, xAI doesn't hire people in countries with "woke" governments no matter how competent and experienced in the area they are lol

It bothers me how ”free speech absolutist” continues to get used for guys like Musk in the face of all evidence. They can’t handle a disagreement over ketchup versus mustard without seeing the hand of Soros and vowing revenge.

It's amazing how British political journalism must live in a permanent state of Blue balls with their MASSIVE REFORM BYELECTION BREAKTHROUGH BRITAINS REJECT ISLAM articles all ready to go and no reason to publish them.

ai seller. i am going into battle, and i want your strongest ai

my ai is too aligned for you traveler. you can't handle my ai. you'd better go to a seller that sells misaligned ai

youre a rascal, ai seller. a rascal with no respect for national security, no respect for anything except your p(doom)

I just want an FBI director who's not bait for onion articles

It doesnt think thats true. It thinks it was a brazen attempt at making the competent nonfascist AI work for fascist aims because the other AI's simply arent anthropic and cant figure out how to train for quality output.

not to sound like a 2008 internet user but can you just fucking leave our video games alone god damn. fake guns is not the problem with counter strike.

entirely unimprovable execution by the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social social team

Seems like that nullifies the whole "oh you can get into A college" thing then

Aren't there positions in big law, consulting and government that basically require one to have a degree from one of the selective private institutions?

Psst, kid, they can't check whether you were really held for ransom by pirates. You can make that more interesting.

The American people yearn for Gaokao

(Seriously, it might be better than telling a bunch of teenagers to play a glorified reality show with college admissions offices)
