@vasuman Industry needs a kind of ERP for Agentic Operations, where Agents, Workflows, Tasks are managed in centralized manner. Gemini Enterprise of Google is going in that direction.

After successfully implementing AI at some of the largest companies in America, I thought I would share what we learned. AI will never be won with a product. There is no silver bullet for orchestration.

@BruceLeeVegas00 @alreadydawn They already have a plague of illegal Vietnamese labors. Better solution includes investing in robotics and automation while popping out more kids so they don’t have to import foreign labors.

@alreadydawn If Taiwan needs labor, why not look at Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia or Philipines.

It's rare to feel proud about Taiwan these days BUT I am proud of this. A hard no on Indian migration. No ifs, ands, or buts. We don't need your "talent", period.

The 50 Shades of JP Morgan teaser looks so wild...

Good morning ☀️😃

@thsottiaux Please add dispatch feature like Claude app so we can keep working while being away.

With some small tweaks, Codex can work for days on hard tasks. We will release some changes to make this easier to use for everyone. What’s the hardest task you’ve seen GPT-5.5 succeed at?

@Antweegonus It’s symptom of ugly women, not race related. Go to any homogeneous society and you will find the same archetype there despite there is no white women. Envy & inferiority complex do warp people into monsters with hatred of their superiority.

@dystopiangf You are surprise that socialism is just cover for social vengeance based on envy and hatred from the losers in life?

I wonder if immigrant parents know how much psychological torment they’re inflicting on their children by depriving them of a majority culture. This woman is so deeply wounded by the basic fact that white men find white women pretty that she’s become a “socialist”

@WomanDefiner It’s on purpose.

I said it last night but I'll say it again today. It's insane these attackers keep getting as close to Trump as they're getting. The Secret Service isn't doing a good job.

Another historical meme

@GaryHaubold @BaldingsWorld You got the right idea. In non Western world, power comes from barrel of gun, not your bank account. Whoever controls the gun is the true master of country.

In Russia, reportedly there are the siloviki ("men of force"), who are current & former officials from Russia’s security, intelligence, & military services who constitute the core, inner-circle power base of Vladimir Putin's regime. It sounds as if the once powerful oligarchs of the 1990s have been brought to heel or disenfranchised.

Vietnam is simply one example of a very complicated policy environment that Americans will not understand. If I am inside the Vietnamese government, their policy framework makes a lot of sense. I will work China here, the US there, Japan some place else, and France there making sure I don't put myself in a bad position any place. If I am Vietnam, I totally get that. This also leads to the US response. We want to move things out of China. We don't really care where and we aren't going to push for Vietnam because no matter what we do for Vietnam (payoff/return) we understand there is a ceiling to the payoff so why do more. I love Vietnam and I find it funny that most people think it is like China when so many of the lessons the Vietnamese Communist Party was how to be communist that isn't like the CCP. I would love the US and Vietnam to be closer but I also get the realism

@GaryHaubold @BaldingsWorld The Russian is more fragile than Chinese one since the whole center of gravity of the system is put on the leader ("Tsar") while in China, you have kind of collective rule of Party elites and ruling clans to stabilize the transition of power.

@QuanLeBon @BaldingsWorld Yeah, my understanding of the CCP is that everyone is corrupt, & you only get prosecuted if you fall out of favor with the dictator in charge. Even though Russia isn't communist, functionally I'm not sure how different the two systems are...one party ultimately is in control.

@GaryHaubold @BaldingsWorld Corruption is System property, not error in Communist regime. State officials have too much unchecked power but their legal salary is meagre, how do you think they can afford lavish lifestyle that everyone craves? The one get caught is on the wrong side.

@QuanLeBon @BaldingsWorld State Capitalism seems counter-intuitive but supposedly China's system was influenced by the Singapore system developed by Lee Kuan Yew. IDK if China has been as successful in controlling corruption as LKY was.

@reddit_lies If the killer succeeds like Charlie Kirk case, they will celebrate it as “victory”. When he fails, they say “it’s staged”. Haters gonna hate. You can’t reason with them, only crushing them like disgusting pests is solution.

A mass psychosis event is unfolding on Reddit right now. Basically every comment on Reddit about the incident is claiming it was "staged."

@GaryHaubold @BaldingsWorld They realized that Soviet style economy is bullshit so switch to State Capitalism. But the state is still the master and any tycoon who forgets it will pay dearly. Just look at Jack Ma. The billionaires in US are far more powerful than his peers in China.

But at least for a generation, serious wealth accumulation is tolerated. For instance, Zhang Yiming (ByteDance/TikTok) is China's richest person with an estimated net worth of $69.3 billion, followed closely by bottled water magnate Zhong Shanshan ($68.1 billion) & Tencent's Ma Huateng ($53.8 billion)

@GaryHaubold @BaldingsWorld Communist govs like China and Vietnam are basically another dynasty under the facade of Communism. Whole country is property of the Emperor and nobles (the State and its cronies). People are basically just renters. Their lives and assets belong to the state.

I always get confused about how communist governments like Vietnam work...it's a single-party communist country, but while private property & assets are allowed, land cannot be privately owned; it is collectively owned by all people and administered by the State. Residents and foreigners can hold "Land Use Rights", often termed a "red book," which allows them to build on, lease, or sell the property for a specific period.

@BaldingsWorld @MichaelPse51291 Even worse, they might beg for your assistance when needed but downplay it publicly as their victory. They cheer for your enemies like Iran and openly celebrate any negative news about US. Never underestimate their blood grudge against US.

IMHO there are many cleavage lines in Vietnam. Among the people US is incredibly popular, less so among the government but seen as country you want to maintain good relations with to balance China but you don't like their comments about human rights and democracy. That's just one example

Here is why this piece is simply ignorant of Vietnamese foreign policy making world view: Vietnamese foreign policy is driven by the idea that as a small country (how Vietnam views itself even though it has 100 million people and growing) it should never be beholden to any other country. They have internalized and believe deeply countries do not have friends, they simply have overlapping interests. However, even when they do have overlapping interests they should never allow any country a dominant position. Vietnam will work with the Europeans, Japanese, Chinese, Americans, whoever is in town but they will work hard to make sure none of them ever occupy a dominant position in anything whether it is investment, trade, regulation, security, or whatever. Let me give you two examples. The Vietnamese fishing industry exports major amounts to Europe, Japan, China, and the US. Both wild and farm caught deal with 4 major regulatory environments for export. Would it probably be easier and potentially mort profitable to not be as diversified? Yes. However, Vietnam is worried about being beholden to any one bloc so they make sure to have a diversified export basket so if they lose one, shrug, no big deal. Second example. I know of a major specific physical infrastructure asset where Vietnam actually divided up between multiple crown jewel companies of outside major powers where each company/country got a different slice of the project to build and run BUT each company/country could be replaced by either another outside company/country or one of the other companies/countries in the project so that if there ever was a problem they could drop in a new company and move on. The point is the only thing Vietnamese foreign policy is doing is not pro-China or anti-US but simply long standing Vietnamese foreign policy. They are the definition of a country that will triangulate and retain optionality in everything. Remember they worked with the Trump administration to sign the deal, and I have not heard they rolled it back, to address Chinese trans-shipment. It is vital that analysts actually understand the countries they are writing about and what motivates them and how they approach problems rather than reduce it into hyper simplistic cocktail party cliches.

@MichaelPse51291 @BaldingsWorld There is no pro US within CPV, only pro-China, pro-Russia and nationalist. The nationalists needs US to balance against Chinese aggression, but US is not their "friend", and never will be. It's like "friend with benefits" to be exact.

@QuanLeBon @BaldingsWorld Work with everyone, work for no one. So was there a pro us faction or were all of those Obama BJs a waste of time?

@a_place_n_time That's basically international relations for you, not only Asia. That's why I think it's fair for President Trump to demand reciprocity from allies. US has been sucker for too long at the expense of American people and her national interest.

You can replace Vietnam in that last sentence with all of Asia & it would still be true, no?
