it does happen, there were brief periods of gpu plenty after two of the crypto bubbles popped. i don’t think it will last too long because jensen and lisa are better at timing the markets than us (they have to be, since it’s like years between product development starts and when they launch)

there was some canadian province that commissioned a report on ai in education that turned out to be written by llms so we’re well on our way to public thinking about ai risks being mainly designed and created by ai

my “america too dumb to function” plays of gold/pm etfs and china adrs are doing well enough that i’m not sweating it, but there’s a feeling of annoyance that tech stocks passing around the same hundred billy and whatever tsla’s nonsense is hasn’t crumpled yet

not really clear what the competing principles are on today’s respective tankie/whatever and liberal/socialist posting fights. kinda just seems like people are mad other people have different opinions/feelings at all and backfilling content

we’re not just conceptually divorced. it’s a geographical fact that we will never suffer consequences of actions in iraq or the levant that are comparable to what happens to people in southeastern europe or north africa because of them. people need decisions to be made by stakeholders

he’s got a whole exchange where someone points out insanely bad things we did lately where china had better positions and says actually if they had our power they’d have even worse positions. he screenshotted this and seems to be proud of it? baffling morons

the century of humiliation is a historiographical model that applied in retrospect because things got better. i think there’s a chance our flash in the pan will be remembered like the age of the vikings

i agree but also fantasy maps should reflect the limitations of primitive surveying and cartography and variations in capability across the geography

i see it as mocking the general tendency to make assumptions about what aliens would be like as being fundamentally similar to the pseudoscience of lebensraum, which similarly chains a number of “it is sensible to assume” type propositions into monstrosity
