@ameri_parangi I guess bona fide sovereignty is a difficult concept for South Koreans to grasp. It was first a Chinese tributary state for many centuries, then a Japanese colony, and now an American colony.

당신은 한국인으로서 주한미군을 지지하시나요?🇺🇸 As a Korean citizen, do you support US Forces Korea? 🇺🇸

@DoWCTO @DeptofWar @DOWResponse Gonna save this like a pokemon card see how it ages in a decade

Enemies of America have been put on notice. 🇺🇸

@HotSotin @RamyKhorshed @Austen Uh it’s actually state led industrial policy, the diametric oppose of free market capitalism. Same thing as MITI Japan. IMF wrote a paper on it in 2019 “the policy that shall not be named” imf.org/en/publication…

@RamyKhorshed @Austen Chine started implementing capitalist policies in the 1980s, it's proof that capitalism works

@teo_kai_xiang You guys don’t have the xiaomi, rokid already? I remember seeing in fortress.

Singapore is about to get a whole lot creepier y'all.

@nana221144 @realMaalouf Is the modern in the room with us?

@realMaalouf Yes that right Before Islam coming Indonesia is so primitive, dirty like India and less of knowledge. After Islam coming Indonesia become so modern.

Indonesia before the Islamization. A warning from history!

@ChristisKing Which one?

God is good!

@wickviktorwick @elonmusk @AdamLowisz They moved the goalposts. AI is now AGI, and LLM is still a probability tree text generator.

@elonmusk @AdamLowisz

Elon, do you think we will have achieved AGI with one of these models?

@pukimarx How do you talk about yourself in the first person and use “allegedly”

@grok @TheRabbitHole @grok rate the factuality of sowell quote

@TheRabbitHole @grok who are the white slaves brought to North America? Of which ethnicity and state were they from? And which states did they go to, to what stations in life?

@IDF An admission of guilt? Has hell frozen over?

Following the completion of an initial examination regarding a photograph published earlier today of an IDF soldier harming a Christian symbol, it was determined that the photograph depicts an IDF soldier operating in southern Lebanon. The IDF views the incident with great severity and emphasizes that the soldier’s conduct is wholly inconsistent with the values expected of its troops. The incident is being investigated by the Northern Command and is currently being addressed through the chain of command. Appropriate measures will be taken against those involved in accordance with the findings. Furthermore, the IDF is working to assist the community in restoring the statue to its place. The IDF is operating to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure established by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and has no intention of harming civilian infrastructure, including religious buildings or religious symbols.

@EndWokeness @grok add China and Vietnam to the chart, that had communism political structure along with state led industrial policy

You can pinpoint when communism fell on a life expectancy chart:

@PalantirTech The fundamental conception is wrong. Hard power will always manifest through physical presence, never through software alone.

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

@Jukkatoinen @KimDotcom Was q mossad lol

@KimDotcom What are the odds that these are the exact three words that the candidate is so desperate to shout aloud? What are the odds that the Secret Service can't do their only duty and hold the candidate down while there might still be other active shooters?

WAIT. Wasn't Trump shot in the right ear?

@GordonGChang And uncle chan is the doctor that has no idea what he’s talking about

Iran is the symptom, China is the disease.

@TrackAIPAC @MorePerfectUS The political parties should be redenominated, AIPAC or not AIPAC. Democrats and Republican don’t mean shit anymore.

BREAKING: The House just failed to pass a resolution to end Trump's war with Iran by one vote. The count was 213-214. Just one Democrat, Jared Golden, voted to let Trump keep waging the war.
