NO to NATO NaZionists

Some observations on Kimi: 1. It's a very good model! I don't think its performance can be explained away by distillation or anything like that. In agentic coding sessions, it seems pretty much on par with the best public models of Q1 2026. In my fairly limited use, it also seemed very token hungry. It's not obvious to me that this model is actually that cheap to run. 2. I am personally surprised the Chinese state continues to allow the open sourcing of models this good, given potential risks. To be clear, I *myself* might be fine with models presenting this level of marginal risk being open weight, but I am surprised that China is fine with it. I suspect the reason they are is 75% explained by strategic blindness/lack of AGI-pilledness (the CCP is very Yann Lecun-y in its views of AI). The other 25% or so is their lack of compute for customer inference (making China's open-weight strategy an unintended byproduct of US export controls) and the normal Chinese strategy of aggressive exports. For the companies, as opposed to the government, the decision to open source is partially ideological and partially because they are behind, and they know that very few people would pay for sub-frontier models from China. 3. Open-weight models are inherently decelerationist, and I'm continually surprised to see the so-called "accelerationists" so excited about open-weight models. I suspect the reason they are is that they know open-weight models are effectively ungovernable, and they simply like the overall cloak of ungovernability open-weight models create over the whole of AI. It's not a bad strategy; it reminds me of James Scott's recounting of the hill people in "the art of not being governed." Still, in the end, open-weight models deter further AI capex. 4. One probable outcome of an open-weight-model-dominant world is full AI communism, which is precisely what China proposes: rather than a market product, AI is a "public good" which will ultimately be provided by the state as a kind of "digital public infrastructure." This future strikes me as a dystopian hellscape, but I've never met an open-weight models advocate who doesn't ultimately concede this is where things end. You'd be surprised how many 'accelerationists' lobbied me, while I was in government, to support an eleven or twelve-figure federally funded data center so that startups could train models at a subsidy and then give them away for free. There was no other way for AI to progress, they said. Perhaps this is the logical end state of things. Nonetheless, I find myself surprised to see supposed accelerationists excited about such an outcome. I think many of them just don't know what they're doing. Many accelerationists do not view the creation and serving of frontier models as a legitimate business. 5. I would guess that the Trump Administration will at some point realize that their best strategy here would be to create large amounts of regulatory risk around the use of open-weight Chinese models. You don't need to "ban open source" (one of the dumber motifs of AI policy discussion). You just need to direct every agency to issue soft law that creates FUD. "A Federal Reserve Advisory Bulletin found that there may be backdoors in Chinese AI models." It needn't be that well justified. You just create enough regulatory risk that every regulated enterprise backs off. You probably don't want to create so much regulatory risk that you scare off the hyperscalers from serving Chinese models; this will just drive startups to sketchier providers. There's a happy middle ground here. I'd assume they will do some version of this. 6. It's probably true that open-weight models of this capability make the world a bit more dangerous, but not so much more that you'll really notice. At some point the models will be capable enough that you will notice. "A nonliving, invisible, dangerous, and infinitely self-replicating agent escaped from a Chinese lab," you say? Color me shocked.

People often forget just how influential Operations Gladio and Aerodynamic were in shaping modern US foreign policy in Europe. It ultimately never went away. In fact, when it comes to Ukraine, there’s a declassified CIA report from 1958 in which the United States considered the areas west of Kiev to be the most likely to carry out anti-Soviet destabilization efforts and the Russian-speaking Crimea and Donbass regions to be the least promising. The US has been planning the Ukraine proxy war for decades because for them it was about controlling the resource rich Central Asian “heartland” as outlined in MacKinder’s 1904 essay. Great article Kit! You’re doing fantastic work!

THE U.S. CAUSED THE COVID PANDEMIC, not China, the U.S. government revealed today. “It's time the American people learn the real story," spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a sensation-causing video released on X and a statement on the internet. And what a story it is. . TRUTH AT LAST The US spent millions to finance a lab in China’s Wuhan to experiment on killer viruses. The research was on a technique called “gain of function” which some people see as weaponization of the viruses. That research is “now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic,” said Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence. “This dangerous research caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives,” she added. . PREFERRED NARRATIVE After the pandemic broke out, Washington then worked to tell the world it could not have been a lab leak. The preferred story circulating at the time was to say that animal-to-human transmission evolved in China due to the circumstances there. But the evidence tells a different tale, the US spy chief said, releasing a new batch of top secret documents today, her last day in office. "It's time you know the truth," she said. . 120 BIOLABS The story begins with the US quietly setting up 120 biological laboratories across more than 30 countries. Some of these laboratories were involved in research on hazardous pathogens, she said. Dr Anthony Fauci, while serving as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, sent millions of dollars of US taxpayer cash to be spent on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, she said. In 2019, the Covid-19 virus apparently emerged in several locations around the world—but was first formally detected by scientists in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019. It was soon found all over the world. The “pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions,” Gabbard said. . PREFERRED NARRATIVE For the US, the preferred story was that it was NOT a lab leak—because the world would realize that the Pentagon was financing biolabs around the world, and at home. People raising the alarm about the biolabs were accused of “pushing Russian and Chinese disinformation”. When the existence of the labs could not be denied, the BBC and other media reported that they were “peaceful labs” which were financed for entirely positive reasons—a line that Pentagon-watchers found hard to swallow. . LIED ABOUT INTELLIGENCE CONNECTION Fauci worked with senior intelligence agents in the early days of the pandemic to shape the narrative but lied about it, Gabbard said. In his testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2024, he was asked under oath whether he had communicated with intelligence agencies concerning viral research before, during or after the pandemic. Fauci replied: "Not to my knowledge, about COVID." In January 2025, many people were puzzled when Former President Joe Biden issued “a pre-emptive pardon” to Fauci. Pardons, by definition, are given to people who have broken the law—but this had not happened at that time. . TREMENDOUS HARDSHIP Gabbard is retiring to spend more time with her husband, who has cancer. But she wanted to get the truth about this subject out there before she disappeared. She says the evidence indicates US-funded research was the root of the problem. "The COVID-19 pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions of our fellow Americans and for countless people around the world,” she said.

Esta no era la Alemania nazi, eran las calles de Reino Unido el 11 de junio de 1936, cuando la Unión Británica de Fascistas de Oswald Mosley organizaba un acto multitudinario en Gales. En aquel entonces la Alemania nazi tenia ya 4 campos de concentración abiertos; Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald y Lichtenburg. Sin embargo, en Reino Unido las calles estaban llenas de nazis, se veían estas imágenes sistemáticamente con Mosley, al igual que ocurría en EEUU y los desfiles del partido nazi German American Bund, el cual en 1939 organizó un evento en el Madison Square Garden de Nueva York, con unos 20.000 nazis.
