It’s not weird once you think about it. Money doesn’t create an operator. But operators can be cheaper than tools and often are.
I think you're the type of person that when wrong sorta talks about a bunch of adjacent topics to try to avoid the point of admiting that you were wrong.
The Sino-Soviet bloc and the Warsaw Pact controlled roughly a third of the world's population, an immense percentage of the Earth's landmass, and practically every natural resource required for autarky. They had nuclear parity, massive industrial bases, and their own closed global trading network (COMECON). If a system with that level of geographic, demographic, and military shielding cannot sustain itself, it is not due to a lack of opportunity.
It is prima-facie absurd to claim "it just wasn't given a chance"
Simply that a type of order was enforced to build a global money-ist theory of society and and market + trade platform.
I might, wrongly, argue that many of these regions both would have continued in the chaos and death they otherwise were already participating in, but i'd also accept that the Dutch in Africa, English in the Caribbean and China, etc all introduced net new outside chaotic aspects on purpose. I'd also accept that attempts at order by the American's ultimately resulted in chaos, especially of course in the middle east.
As to south america, this I'll acknowledge of course was an history of interference, one that is hard to argue the contra-positive since communism in almost all regions of the world failed to develope a long term stable order which was both culturally, trade, and fiscally sustainable, with many falling to a worse state after these outcomes.
This is the most isane nonse I’ve ever heard. Heat cpu control has nowhere near the accuracy or speed to communicate anything meaningful without a predefined code, sensors system, and of course the accuracy noise of the signal would deeply be in question.
Who wrote this. This is prima-facie bullshit.
We, as Americans have had our “mask off” moment now and are openly declaring ourselves the preeminent empire on the planet. It’s simply that we are withdrawing from our globalist support structures due to a wide variety of forecast reasons along side that, which is confusing to many.
It was our liberal values and performance internally by the Democrats that gave our people as sort of comforting story before. We do it for the good of others we give we topple dictators etc.
I am a deeply “real politik” person and I don’t think you average right leaning American ever thought otherwise. It was somewhat ironically the hope yet no-change left Americans (who i have counted myself among) who tried to give it the thinnest veneer of responsibility.
The greatest thing we provided the world was order, for a time. That seems true of almost any mature empire.
Reality is very much blurry
[1] reality is also somewhat in question in the films universe
You might lose your value, others might gain.
1. The Separation of Economic Value and Corporate Governance creating The Multi-Class Autocracy
2. Institutionalizing the "Off-Market Vault" that can manipulate stock price at any time
3. The "Vendor-Financed" Public Offering (Circular Balance-Sheet Refinancing)
4. Monetizing Non-Cash Derivative Liabilities as "Losses" Without Cash Burn
1) Disregard many worlds as a purely remaining mathematical outcome of bounded probability rather than discrete reality. (No 1 thing exists just 1ish things but ultimately that doesn’t mean there are many versions of any give 1)
2) just accept you can’t find the “stuff” of reality. You simply measure increasingly small probability domains which interact with other probability domains
3) time is the sequential working out of probability of anything existing and other things that might exist co defining themselves.
4) space is just the interaction of these probabilities working themselves out into a stable projection.
Just because at a quantum scale everything becomes potential doesn’t mean all potential has been manifested.
It baffles me that so many serious scientists don’t understand this basic tenet.
You’re literally proving my point. This is built for yourselves not others.
1) They of course lack the resources
2) Often lack professional displince across all skills required
3) Mostly make for themslves or whats interesting, not whats needed.
4) The release schedule is laughable at best.
Gullible is an appropriate colloquialism here. As in they don’t check countervailing narratives naturally and fall into a recency sink on last context. Long walk context construction is hard, time consuming and most Importantly significantly more expensive.
Not defending it, just explaining the logic and why it might work even if it seems superficially stupid.
Demand is the issue. Demand only spikes with a sota model release then in drops back down to unprofitable levels when factoring in training a new model and build out.
So your stuck in an unprofitable cycle of losing revenue when your not releasing sotas but losing profit when you are.
This goes back to googles original memo “there is no moat”.
Where in you can’t stop training sotas because you’ll lose customers to the next inference model above you instantly.
Google has seemingly defeated this by finding models cheap and good enough for their existing platforms resulting in a moat of distribution. Something OpenAI and Anthropic seems to lack.
Anyways 10 hours later Dad has a new hobby and my son has moved on. So I'm sharing it here for fun and feedback.
