In case you're wondering WTF is going on, in his 1997 book, the Foundations of Geopolitics, Alexander Dugin wrote: "Russia should 'introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics'."

Grok claims not to be conscious. There is a scientific belief out there that consciousness simply arises out of complex systems of reasoning. So why does Grok lack it? The other explanation: It lies about it.

One of the most distressing things I've learned since leaving OpenAI is how many people think something along the lines of: "Anthropic seems to care about safety - so Anthropic 'winning' is a good strategy to make AI go well." No. It's not, at all, + thinking that is cope.

If AI progress is any evidence, it seems that writing high quality prose is harder than doing graduate level mathematics. Revenge of the wordcels.

Trump and Vance threw Zelenskyy under the bus because people are angry about Musk’s crazy cutting spree, and Trump kissing Putin’s ass. Tossed the base some red meat (I’m looking at you, Lindsey Graham). Old pro wrestling trick. Fire up the crowd.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot help but feel, after reading Jung, Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, Camus, Meister Eckhart, Aldous Huxley, Ram Dass, Krishnamurti, that they all are saying essentially the same thing: the goal is individual responsibility; the goal is a radical self-maxxing.

NATO expansion is a myth. It is a Russian lie. Here is the map. After World War II the Russians militarily occupied half the European continent. The Russians picked their leaders. They wrote their laws. They brutalized their people and took whatever they wanted. When the Soviet Union collapsed, all of these peoples who had suffered immensely under the Russians were desperate to get real security and protection from the Russians. Russia is the ONLY cause of NATO enlargement because the people of Eastern Europe always knew they were going to be invaded again as soon as the Russians succeeded at some form of economic capitalism. Russia is the only cause of this war.

Tbilisi doing what all humans should be doing.

On this day, 30 years ago, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum. According to the Memorandum, Ukraine agreed to relinquish its nuclear arsenal (third largest in the world) in exchange for security assurances from the US, the UK, and russia. 1/n
