If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

Clearest most comprehensive analysis I’ve seen about why the Japanese employment landscape is the way it is
I read the first part of this book in Japanese and was floored. When I saw it had been translated I immediately wanted to read it and review at length. Stay tuned for more...

As someone skeptical of AI, and greedy tech oligarchs, I often find myself disagreeing “anti-AI” narrative touted in online in left-leaning spaces. Namely, that LLMs and the like have virtually no practical benefits, as if they represent very little, if any, positive progress in any area.

This guy is universally despised on Bluesky but I was pleasantly surprised by this article. Didn't realize how factually inaccurate the AI conversation has gotten in progressive circles www.noahpinion.blog/p/i-love-ai-...
I love AI. Why doesn't everyone?
Anti-AI sentiment might or might not be rational, but it certainly relies on a lot of bad arguments.

Pretty clear that the oft-repeated reason for the spike in xenophobia and right-wing politics in Japan being "ignorant old ppl" is totally wrong. In fact, most data suggests it's young people, who are presumably fed a steady diet of online misinformation

For Democrats? Certainly. You can't be forever apologizing for "half of his supporters are deplorables" when he's making AI memes about dropping shit on you.
Are we finally at the point where Rs can no longer cite “basket of deplorables” as their motivation for anything they actually wanted to do/say/vote for anyhow?

Eeek, bone chilling stats
If you add up the vote share of the four "conspiracy parties" you get
60% for the teenagers
63% for the 20s (zoomers)
58% for the 30s (millennials)
Though remember that this is just exit poll vote share—in absolute terms, the under-40s are a demographic minority in Japan (only around 26mn voters)

In yesterday's Miyagi governor race, the LDP-backed incumbent Murai won by 1.8% against the Sanseito-backed Wada whose supporters spread misinfo about Murai
Exit polls show Sanseito, DPP and Reiwa have the highest share of Wada supporters

A lot of people don't want to believe it but it seems pretty clear to me that both Takaichi and Sanseito have a lot of support with young people, and yes, women. In fact, the latest poll I saw showed elderly people supporting the more "liberal" parties at a much higher rate than young people

Internet faux pas aside, this was my attempt at articulating somethings that’s bugged me about critics of LLMs. I mean, I agree with like 90% of them, but acting as if this technology has absolutely no utility for anything of consequence is disingenuous
Hard disagree. Love Ed Zitron but working in foreign languages the utility of LLMs is so self evident. A big step forward in automatic translation. Huge swaths of the translation industry are already going out of business because of it.

I'm kinda annoyed that Hasan Piker is in hot water. The guy openly called for violence, spread Russian propaganda, promoted Holodomor deniers and Neo-Stalinists, promoted and encouraged people who doxed and swatted his critics, and promoted antisemitism. Yet he gets cancelled for abusing his dog.

An interesting observation I've made: The Japanese left wing has been on a downswing for a long time. While many ppl have a stereotypes of the elderly bigoted Japanese conservatives, this doesn't necessarily reflect reality.
Finally, this is more anecdotal, but the support base for the furthest left parties like the communist party and shaminto skews very elderly where I live
