AI will reach true intelligence when it is able to tell its users they probably shouldn’t be providing them that information.

The problem is that protests are to promote awareness. That does nothing, Trump thrives on bad PR as long as it can serve as misdirection for the latest tragedy. The general strike did start to do something. The biggest problem is that the Supreme Court is fully corrupt, the Executive Branch and all federal agencies are now fully corrupt, and congress is the weakest branch of government that works slow and will get hampered by the Supreme Court even if you manage to have fair elections for midterms.

Gavin Newsom is about the only state leader that is doing something effective, and Tim Walz should have been there with him during the World Economic Forum. The fact is, your federal government is corrupt down right to the core and it got this bad when things were way better. The people controlling the media, controlling the social networks that influence people, now have more say and wealth to hinder and twist the barebones democratic elements that the US had, to put dissenters like you into ineffective bubbles while they radicalize, enable, and pardon the vitriol that serves them.

The problem is that keeping you country together prevented slavery, but never defeated the confederates turned “MAGA” neoconfederates that run your federal government today, and a country that was founded and dissolved several times until it became the United States has now been indoctrinated that there are no circumstances where seeking independence is valid, even when the federal government that rules the states isn’t following its own constitution. You cannot have a democracy without a shared reality, and you cannot have a shared reality where for some the constitution is a legal foundation for the country and for others it is simply just another bible from which to read excerpts off while ignoring the rest of it.

Europe shouldn’t tell you what to do, but why would we ever deal the same way we have before with a country that proven itself to be psychotically bipolar? Do you realize that our governments cannot orbit around yours because we have our own politicians to deal with? That’s not the case with a number of states in the US, yet they are forced to now submit to a dictatorship even though they are the economic motors for the country that other states’ politicians basically live off of. Anyway, you guys do you, the US as it is now has lost a lot of standing in the world - except with dictatorships, where standing is basically just optics anyway. I understand people are doing what they can, it would (and likely will) be difficult to do the same thing here, there’s too much money going into manipulating governments and corruption could not have denied oversight at a worse time.

The core problem is one where billionaires have gone Cambridge Analytica and have destroyed and attacked our share reality - the reason why they are also ardent AI proponents, and they are operating everywhere. Honestly, I don’t have a solution, just observations. But understand that from our point of view, was it better to deal with the USSR, or was it better to deal with each of its members like Ukraine and Russia individually?

Just pretending to be an obtuse moron instead of taking a comment as the criticism it is shows your shit riling instincts at work, not the validity of my criticism. Also, learn some proper capitalization, it makes your comment look like it sounds.

My beef is with Americans saying “I am an X American” when what they really mean is “I try to LARP as X at times in whatever my American bubble says they do”. But specially with African American. It’s black. Black. Black. Say it with me. Black. No negative connotation (except people’s own insecurities), just a simple oversimplified label like any other of its sort.

African American? Did they or their parents recently immigrate from Africa? Are they invested in African politics? Do they at least adopt some form of African cultural identity? Otherwise, they are just Americans.

Elon Musk is more of an African American than people judged by the color of their skin given how much he has tried to push his own agendas regarding South Africa onto this administration.

It’s more of a rich asshole oligarchs master plan. Pampered rich asshole babies that can’t compete because they were brought up in a sheltered life or because they only knew to appeal to criminal elements have to make sure democracies and accountability fails so they can create closed markets that secure their way of parasitic life. They are unwilling to adapt to a lifestyle that isn’t them being rich pampered assholes.

Then there’s the psychopaths who’ve been training in narcissistic psychopath playground MMOs, like notable conservative mods in social networks. The overlap is breaking the unspoken social contract like a cancer to better themselves, where being a sadistic narcissistic immoral asshole that can manage some semblance of loyal subservience to other likewise is a key identity trait.

Europe is a dumbass that has not been paying attention since the start of his term and who they were dealing with.

Doesn’t help they literally said they would stop producing chips and that they have done so.

Part of the problem is lack of interference, they are not regulating the cartels behind this and with Trump they won’t be because all it takes is a bribe.

They aren’t seizing Russia’s fleet, they were seizing Venezuela’s fleet, the one carrying hard to refine crude oil. They are more interested in the Exxon and Chevron tankers Ukraine continued bombing. Owe a bank 10 bucks, it’s your problem. Owe a bank a million, it’s their problem. Those countries gave their gold and resources to Russia. Now, when they expect to receive support back, the US is giving them an excuse why they don’t need to as long as they perform a bit of false flag theater they are so accustomed to. Russia gets to double dip when the Russian stooges send the last of their gold deposits and wealth to Russia to retire there.

Russia wants to assist Trump while feigning their part as the “enemy”, yet they always manage to work lockstep in the grand scheme of things. So much so, that I expect that when the US does launch an operation against Greenland, they will try to be sneaky about it yet do it with Russia’s help, likely from one of the detachments claiming to be following one of the shadow fleets.

Russia considers its allies temporary and expendable, they’ve sacrificed theirs in negotiations to cooperate with the US to divide up their direct influence into hemispheres. Russia is specially interested in restoring the old USSR borders, but now just any win will do and they are a willing participant to Trump. Getting rid of competitors and letting go of the political baggage of their allies once exhausted is what they do. The regime puppets have already sent all their gold to Russia to try to secure their retirement within their borders. Russia treats its allies like the US is starting to.

Strictly speaking, Trump is not a Russian asset, he’s everything you claim him to be, but he also is quite willing to work with Russia and other criminal elements to get himself ahead. Russia is his ally because they have mutual interests and Russia was never in it to build an empire spanning the globe. Iran was not useful against Israel, they’ve provided all the support they could to Russia, and now they are becoming too costly to maintain because of all the spheres of influence they are in conflict with. Venezuela still has the same regime, if anything one that is even more of a stooge, both to Russia and the US. Those “captured” shadow fleets are just another form of money exchanging hands.

Dictators usually end up turning on each other, but usually after they’ve run out of prey to play with and have to deal with their own consequences of their own actions. The US still has plenty of momentum in its drive towards fascism, and they will get more out of treating Russia as a shadow false flag ally that reverting back towards the old democratic world order that would condemn his own country’s shift towards a dictatorship.

If China wants to win against these assholes, all they have to do is help develop open alternatives to TSML and ASML and not invade Taiwan so these assholes have to bear the brunt of the AI bubble.

They aren’t. Owe a bank 10 bucks, it’s your problem. Owe a bank a million, it’s their problem. Those countries gave their gold and resources to Russia. Now, when they expect to receive support back, the US is giving them an excuse why they don’t need to as long as they perform a bit of false flag theater they are so accustomed to. Venezuela’s oil is hard to refine cheaply and Russia has plenty not to mention they are a competitor, they are more concerned about the US Chevron and Exxon tankers Ukraine is disrupting from buying their oil after Trump quietly allowed them to resume.

Who doesn’t hold congress in contempt given whom they choose to question and whom they don’t?

It’s funny because the US basically already has military influence in the country that they are now weakening, and they already have an open economy that would allow the US to dominate any industrialization attempts.

Trump wants Greenland to do what he is doing in the US, to sell it and pass it to a closed market of cronies loyal to him that can’t operate in an open market because of their open exploitative practices. I hope that Greenland can easily past their lies regardless of what social network bubbles they try to encase them in.

Pretty hard to live past that age when your mind goes full QAnon and you begin thinking taking anti-parasite treatment for horses is going to help overcome cancer.

I have a theory that when people get as known and rich as him, they get surrounded by a lot of charismatic people who in absence of any other notable characteristic have to promote conspiracy non-sense as their “our my exclusive network of people know this”. Because they are not accustomed to meeting people that charismatic and because what they spout generally appeals to their life experience, they just fall in love as part of these groups of crazy as if it was part of their lifestyle change.

What’s wrong with hurting artificial societies?

Thanks for the correction, I meant CPU coolers, which ironically are even less affected by the “key upstream materials” you quote since they are mostly made out of aluminum alloys. The price hike on raw materials, while real, is much less than the effect of surplus should be on the market, and they affect everything through inflation. Don’t just take their word for it, look at the 10-year historical graphs, they follow a general trend.

This is a pretty big tell that it has nothing to do with AI, it’s just price gouging for price gouging sake’s. Data center setups don’t use consumer level PSUs and CPU coolers. If anything, their price should be going down given that the rise in RAM, SSDs, and GPUs are leading to people building less PCs and waiting longer to do so. The supply for these components should be going up due to excess supply.

Some countries in Europe are starting to, and given what Europe is, that’s probably the best they can start doing.

At least because they made sure to show us their hand at their latest sonic weapons and information warfare used to shut down weapons that was used in the Venezuela attack. They would probably go the same route with Europe, trying to behead whatever strategic target is going to get them what they want, because they can’t go for a prolonged conflict either.

Narcissism: I’m right, me, me me, me me me. Wait, I’m wrong, pity me, me, me me me. How dare you blame me, for being a victim, poor victim me, me, me me me. Lol, someone else, who cares lololol lmao.
