Wondering if the US regime is going to launch its first strikes on Venezuela proper now, on the Thanksgivings Holiday, because most people won't be following the news so closely, and I wouldn't expect people on the streets either.

He has a great analogy about LLMs vs AGI.
Student A is LLMs: they’ve memorized every textbook and ace familiar tests, but fail when patterns break.
Student B is AGI: they grasp first principles, reason through new problems, and don’t depend on memorization. The age of research is about Student B.
