That last quote is so goddamn accurate it could be an actual sales pitch for the concept.

It really isn’t, but it got made to be by parties with vested interest in maintaining the oil and gas status quo.
Also, I realize this is probably a woooosh on my part.


He’s gonna nuke Tehran isn’t he?
Who could’ve guessed that eschewing the US’s soft power they built up over decades for Russian style “might makes right” posturing and sabre rattling would not work? Trump is really speedrunning to “Chinese ultimatums” with this fiasco.


Yep, it’s just baffling how this cat that we backed further and further into the corner started acting out. Who could’ve seen that coming?


That was the point he jumped the shark for me. His Twitter takeover, constant placating of the right and efforts to get Trump re-elected had already pushed him from “edgelord memer and shitposter” to “alt-right nutcase”, but the salute immediately jumped him to “irredeemably evil monster”.


Now there’s a peace negotiation tactic everyone can get behind.


It would certainly explain the absurdist hellworld we appear to exist in today, that’s for sure.


Man do I love me some backhanded compliments like this one.


This is the kind of emotional intelligence that the vast majority of the population lack. And I am not sure how we can get more folks to get to this point.


That headline is a sentence so white trash I grew a mullet just reading it.


I hate how you are probably right. At least regarding the timing of the whole situation.


And Greenland for that matter. Hopefully they learned from jacking off over their history books to equip their troops with winter gear this time, or they’ll learn the exact same lessons Napoleon and Adolf did.


Can the US not start armed conflicts everywhere at once? I mean, I know their military is big and well-funded, but at some point you’ll hit an untenable number of simultaneous fronts. Ask you history teacher how to ended up working out for the Germans. Twice.


Yeah, that was some baffling leadership.


It’s almost like the ousted CEO of Stellantis was onto something with his “Dare Forward” plan. But apparently having long-term vision is punished by the market, so now they’re bringing back gas guzzling V8s and fucking small-car diesel engine options (despite them being banned in more and more inner cities in Europe).


Gee, it’s almost like power vacuums tend to be detrimental to the stability of a country.


Oh, I am not saying they’re not still opportunistic money-chasers. Hence the comment about there not being any good AI companies. To me though, their reluctance on some topics and honest admissions on the capabilities of their AI make it appear that they less happy to throw all principals overboard in the race to win the AI market than the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Musk.


Still. I will happily take a company with some moral fiber over one with none when it comes to this AI race to the bottom.
Not saying Anthropic are the good guys here (there are none IMHO) but they are clearly trying to be the “less bad guys”.

Everything except for smaller stuff. You know, things like tires, lug nuts, screws, atoms, electrons, etc.
