I am NOT going to show you a top view of Fort Tolucco on the east coast of Ternate in Indonesia.
Come on, we're grown-ups, I refuse.
And I'm sure you won't look it up, we're just going to move on, being all proper and mature.

In Sweden, the label 'indigenous' does not get applied to the Swedes, whose ancestors have been in Sweden for well over 10,000 years and whose genetic profile stabilized around 4000 years ago, but it is applied to the Saami, whose presence and emergence in northern Sweden follows a similar timeline.
The only thing "indigenous" means in practice is "conquered technologically primitive client culture of the left-globalist managerial state used as a mascot for moral warfare against the locally dominant culture".
Elon Musk@elonmusk
If one is to use the term “First Nations” or “Indigenous Peoples” or “Native Americans” in the Americas and Antipodes, then, in fairness, it should also apply to English, French, Spanish and other such peoples in Europe

I explained long ago that Chomsky was a moral degenerate well before the current Epstein fiasco. His political moral compass is completely broken.
Rothmus 🏴@Rothmus
Chomsky is a known apologist for communist genocide, but somehow pedophilia is a moral line you thought he wouldn’t cross?

@fakehistoryhunt @MarkHarnes @elonmusk @waitbutwhy I see your point, I guess I filled in the gaps a little when I read too "small to ride" (for Calvary warfare as we've come to know it) and Grok seemed to imply the same to me with "oversimplification". But you're right if he literally meant they couldn't ride them at all then 🤭

@MarkHarnes @Isiko_DK @elonmusk @waitbutwhy It literally does say that. What I posted proves nothing because ai babble doesn't prove anything, but it did disagree with what he claimed.

@aaronburnett My main issue is the big bet that all future forms of AI will operate the same way as existing models... everything I've seen to date has shown diminishing returns vs scale.
They're all gambling on reaching escape velocity (AI self-improvement) before the economy crashes.

assuming this is genuine open-minded curiosity and not just rage bait, i'll engage.
The pro data center in space case, is simple and is being ignored (knowingly or not) in this debate opener post. It's represented in Naval's tweet from this morning (screenshot). Elon recently retweeted.
space data centers protagonists believe the demand for intelligence is unlimited (or effectively infinite from our current vantage point). This is obvious in pro ODC arguments coming from meaningful decision makers on this topic.
If you want to put order of magnitude numbers on "unlimited" then you can use the energy numbers in context. The US uses ~500GWs in total energy today, and we're estimated to add ~20GWs of data centers in the next 2 years (not all AI).
The increased capex guidance from the hyperscalers underscores this trend.
If you believe this buildout tapers off and demand becomes manageable within the next 3 years, then you can ignore the rest. You are not operating under the same assumptions as ODC crowd.
Elon has stated he expects NEW demand to be 100GW+ annually. Meaning deploying 100GW of new data centers for AI alone every year.
This is 100 new Colossus projects every year. The project was the largest fastest AI data center built to date. The builder of the largest and fastest AI data center project, is saying I cannot do this 100 times a year.
(putting some words in Elon's mouth here) The reason he doesn't believe he can speed up and scale out is heavily due to regulation and nimbyism. (reference the anecdote he made in recent podcast about having to move to Mississippi for the next phase of colossus).
The choice is not where to turn on the cheapest chip, it's if they will even be able to turn on the next chip as fast as you want to. this year, next year or in the next decade.
It's false equivalence to presume ODC pitch rides on only being able to beat today's data center prices at today's scale at today's demand.
It does NOT matter if it's cheaper on earth today, it only matters if there is a path to being profitable at all in the near term (<3 years).
We've done the math (not the only ones) and the answer is that it can be done profitably in near term, and likely be cheaper than earth in 3-5 years, assuming Starship hits ~$200/kg or better (it will).
The greatest filter in this debate is simply intelligence demand. Many can't or won't wrap their head around the exponential growth in demand for intelligence.

Firstly: I'm a huge SpaceX fan. I went to the first Falcon 9 launch and the first Super Heavy. I own more SpaceX gear than anything else. Secondly: I'm a very big space economics geek. I literally wrote a book on space economics (tldr: tourism is a terrible business model but R&D and materials is exciting.) Thirdly: I helped design experiments that ran on the International Space Station. I invested in the first company to run an LLM in space (Besxar). But seriously... - An NVIDIA H100 is on the order of ~$25k+. - Running one 24/7 for a year is ~6 MWh, which is roughly ~$850–$1,000 in Abilene-area electricity (call it ~$900). - Swapping a GPU on Earth is minutes of labor. But the plan is to launch the GPU + batteries + solar + radiator + comms + shielding into LEO...only to have the next-gen GPU show up ~12 months later with another big perf/watt jump? What problem is “put it in space” actually solving other than grabbing headlines?

Most foreign policy issues are difficult and complicated. Greenland isn’t one of them. Let’s have a look at seven points:
1. The U.S. needs Greenland for its own defense - Golden Dome, radars, basing.
▶️ The United States can do virtually anything it'd like in Greenland, security-wise, without taking possession of it. The 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement, which was renewed in 2004, allows the United States to build bases there, station troops, and more.
2. Greenland is about to fall into the hands of Russia and China, and the U.S. can’t let that happen.
▶️ The U.S. once had 10,000 U.S. troops in Greenland; now there are around 200. If there is an imminent threat of Chinese or Russian takeover (there isn’t), perhaps start by increasing that number?
3. Russian and Chinese ships are swarming Greenland and the Danes can’t fend them off.
▶️ If Russian and Chinese ships are really menacing the island, the U.S. Navy could sail around it right now en masse. It isn’t.
4. The U.S. needs to own Greenland because "you don't defend leases." Even if Denmark allows full access, there’s a difference between owning and renting.
▶️ This is the No One Washes a Rental Car theory of international relations. In reality, the United States is committed to defending many allies whose territory it does not own. Trump himself defended Israel just last year. The whole point of alliances is mutual defense of one another's territory. That doesn't require seizing it.
5. The Danes are bad allies, so they should hand over Greenland.
▶️ Denmark has been a model ally. Not so long ago, Danes fought for America’s defense rather than the other way around. Among 40-plus allies and partners in Afghanistan, Denmark lost the most soldiers as a percentage of its population. Our allies defended the U.S., which, by the way, none of them owns.
6. This is the new Manifest Destiny. We’re an expansionist, frontier people. Greenland should, one way or the other, join the ever-growing Republic.
▶️ The post-1945 order is predicated a prohibition against conquest. Countries don’t acquire the territory of another without their consent. Iraq doesn’t get Kuwait, Russia can’t have Ukraine, Canada won’t be the 51st state, and the U.S. doesn’t compel Greenland to join. We’ve seen a world before in which conquest abounds. It’s the law of the jungle.
7. This isn’t real, just some fun administration trolling of the ever-nervous Europeans.
▶️ It is at a minimum a major distraction from real issues the transatlantic allies should focus on: Russia, Ukraine, Iran, China. Prodding allies to distrust our word and intentions does not amount to good policy.
Most foreign policy issues are difficult and complicated. Greenland isn’t one of them. The sooner this manufactured crisis fades, the better.
English
I thought acquiring Greenland was because Denmark and the Europeans weren’t doing enough to protect it from China and Russia, why is he upset that they are now taking its defense seriously? Or was it never actually about that?
OSINTdefender@sentdefender
President Donald J. Trump has announced that he will impose a 10% tariff on all goods entering the United States from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom on February 1, until Denmark agrees to sell Greenland, also citing recent deployment of European military forces to Greenland and the Northern Atlantic, adding that the tariffs will increased to 25% on June 1, 2026 unless a deal is made regarding the purchase of Greenland.

The way I see it, officers surround the vehicle, she panics and tries to escape
Officer thinks she's trying to hit him and shoots her.
I don't see evidence of clear intent to hit or kill the officer.
Both sides contribute to this disaster
Collin Rugg@CollinRugg
NEW: CNN has obtained a new angle of the incident involving Renee Good in Minneapolis, shows Good's vehicle sitting sideways in the street for three minutes before shots were fired. The footage shows a person exiting the car on the passenger side. "[Video] shows Renee Good's maroon Honda Pilot entering from the right there. Then, 20 seconds later, someone gets out on the passenger side." "We don't know who or why this person leaves the car. We then see her turn and pull perpendicular across the street, seeming to block the way."
English
Three more corrections:
1.I said mainstream media wasn’t showing the second angle. That’s false - NYT showed it. That was conspiratorial framing on my part.
2.I said her car made contact with the officer. I should have said “appears to show contact.” The footage isn’t clear enough to me state it as fact.
3.I said if your car contacts an officer while fleeing, deadly force is justified. That’s overly simplistic. The legal standard requires belief of imminent threat and considering alternatives not just contact while fleeing.
English
I was wrong.
I made a mistake in my analysis of the ICE killing of Renee Good.
I rushed to conclusions.
I let my bias get the best of me.
And I’m sorry.
Kaizen D. Asiedu@thatsKAIZEN
This wasn't murder. Renee's death in Minneapolis is tragic. But see it for what it is, not what you want it to be. You can hate ICE. But blocking officers then speeding off in a 2-ton vehicle with people at your bumper is irrational. She rolled the dice. Sadly, she died.

@ModdedQuad Isn't blindsight an input device and currently being trialled? Or were you referring to more advanced applications like complete restoration of vision or the BCI inputting words?
English
For now, BCIs like mine are output-only.
They don’t generate input in the brain. They simply read neural signals and turn them into actions — like controlling a computer with your mind.
In the future, I do think BCIs will be able to generate input into the brain.
We are very far from that today, and anyone saying otherwise is getting ahead of reality.
But if we ever get there, the most important question won’t be technical.
It’ll be: what will it mean to be human?
English
It would be nice if some of the Twitter diaspora returned. So many creatives, but also many developers, that generally enriched the experience are no longer active.
Those that performatively left and those with a seething hatred of Elon probably won’t be back soon, but a lot of people just disengaged on vague cultural grounds that can be reevaluated.
There are probably some technical tweaks to the algorithm that could make them more comfortable. I don’t mind the existence of independent echo chambers that people are happy within. There is only a problem when some echo chambers are allowed and others aren’t.
Reach out to lapsed friends!

@drewgierach A hill I'll die on is that you're not going to be the next Andrej/Einstein by simply using AI to do stuff for you, and as AI gets better, its people at this level or near it that will be in demand, and they got there by studying fundamentals. Simple Prompters are a dime a dozen
English
@drewgierach I think it comes down to goals.
AI is smart and getting smarter, so it is better able to fill in the gaps in user knowledge; I can see the argument being made here is that over time, 90%+ of problem statements can be solved with no detailed knowledge required, just intent. 1/2
English
I can't tell anymore if these are hot takes, clickbait, or geniuine opinions.
For those of you getting into programming, do not start with this or related assumptions.
AI will play a role, just like any other new technology, but claims like this are just not true.
Mckay Wrigley@mckaywrigley
@techguyver When I say software will be solved, I just mean software work will almost entirely just be directing AI. I think almost no code will be hand written by 2027. Probably just incredibly low-level stuff at that point for a tiny % of devs.

@ArtemisConsort @elonmusk @grok does the speaker in this video say these exact words anywhere in this clip.

If confirmed, this incident occurred nearly 48 hours after payload separation, by which time the launch mission had long concluded. CAS Space will coordinate with satellite operators to proceed. This calls for re-establishing collaborations between the two New Space ecosystems.
CAS Space@cas_space
Our team is currently in contact for more details. All CAS Space launches select their launch windows using the ground-based space awareness system to avoid collisions with known satellites/debris. This is a mandatory procedure. We will work on identifying the exact details and provide assistance as the LSP.
