I talk with the people who counts what's at the Russian storage bases and this drop is because Russia seems to have resolved a bottleneck and moved a lot of what was left in decent shape to repair factories. So there's probably a good amount of time yet before a tank shortage.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

And the only thing holding them together is trump mediating between them, I don't think they have a plan for what happens after that.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.
Mike Davis racist smear

It's ironic because this would probably result in Venezuela becoming more conducive to cartel operations.

Yeah, that seems likely to me. Even if that's not correct eventually there isn't going to be the capacity or capital to keep building more data centers.

I feel like they're going to hit diminishing returns eventually assuming the price of electricity doesn't dramatically slow down AI investment first.

I think one major difference between Hindenburg and Trump in this case is that the Republican Party is loyal to Trump whereas the whole Nazi Party was loyal to Hitler and not Hindenburg.

I remember those books being really good until they switched authors.

I think she may think this Trump stuff isn't going to work out so she's try to get out in front of the backlash

Yeah that makes sense! I hadn't really thought about LLMs capacity to do that before. There's some interesting experiments you could do with that. It'd be neat to see how well it could guess at what an author would say if you only trained it on their novels, for example.

Oh! I was overthinking it lol. That makes sense.

Interesting, I get how it could be good at emulating a person given enough text. I was thinking that you would need like a separate model that can predict how well 2 people get along and I'm not sure how you'd quantify that in a way that LLMs could train on, if that makes sense
raptorama.bsky.social
I understand how it could match interests, but how would that work for assessing whether people would actually get along? Sometimes a person's personality can just be aggravating to another and I'm not sure how a LLM would be able to predict that.

Someone should make him watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. It'll certainly keep his mind occupied

Honestly will theil even be mentally stable enough to engage with reality at all by then? He doesn't sound like he's all there in the quotes you shared.

This sounds like the ravings of a man who had a psychotic break tbh.

They're not actually going to pay the troops, they'll just claim they did and say that all the evidence to the contrary is antifa propaganda

I think the realization that it isn't happening anytime soon has driven a lot of them insane as years of ignoring their own mortality hits all at once.

The general decline seems too broad to put on any one factor.

Trump seems pretty set on getting rid of Maduro at this point so I don't think there's any real risk of rappochement
