I’m just following their words as they are written and as they are typically defined. If we want to talk about logical fallacies and structuring ones argument logically it’s usually quite difficult to defend the always, never, forever, aka universal statements. It’s much easier to argue the singular, there is a case such that X is Y. Then you only have one case to prove and not possibly infinite.
This perfectly fits some people’s doomsday death cult philosophies. “The nations of men” are supposed to unite against God’s chosen people or some shit like that. Religion really is the gift that keeps on giving, particularly the abrahamic faiths.
Better to be shot by someone who isn’t going to attempt to gaslight you about how they actually didn’t shoot you, that would be annoying.
Kinda makes fascists who are blunt about their desires look better.
Do as I say, not as I do. I also love the trend of fear mongering over some group like “immigrants” or “the gays” whenever there’s anything to distract them from…
Yeah Putin wants those massive natural gas deposits and so does Ukraine. There’s not much of a deal to be made.
It’s interesting to watch government officials go “swim did it”.
Do they really want meritocracy or do they just want white cis christian loyalists?
Never literally means “at no time” so it includes the past, present, and future. Maybe if they said never again or never henceforth then that would be like from this day forward.
never? Like not even June 1989?
The US would never, has never done such a thing.
I’m not sure it’s clean and easy like that. A rose by any other name smells just as sweet. I see it more like a classic battle between two very similar yet different individuals over ultimate legitimacy, like the fight between Romulus and Remus, although this will likely have a different ending.

The political and cultural history of mainland China and Taiwan is really interesting. It’s easy to say they just want their fabs but I feel like the struggle is more so about legacy. The CCP gaining control over Taiwan would indicate they are the one and only true China spiritually and philosophically at least to themselves. It’s a fundamental split and both consider themselves the real or true China.
I’m a bit shocked this wasn’t happening sooner. We’ve more so seen people salting the fields so to speak to get back at AI / data collection companies. Makes sense corporate types would do the same to push their products or services. That said doing it to advertise their brand of hormone replacement therapy is a tad disturbing, seems like something important enough that one wouldn’t want their information manipulated when researching. Same to anything medical really.
A much more honorable choice than what the article is talking about. It’s essentially SEO for AI or AEO as they’re calling it. I’m kinda surprised this wasn’t happening or reported sooner.
It seems most air travel is avoiding the Persian gulf right now. I often fly through the UAE and most routes are now going through Ethiopia or direct to Europe and then onward.
What the flock. It is interesting how we are doing both 1984 and fahrenheit 451 simultaneously. Honestly though AI development at any serious scale requires nation state level efforts and nearly any government would be tempted. It’s unfortunate the US has had more of a shift towards palpatine and the empire as of late.
The US interfering with another government? Never. Sidebar I thought it was essentially a given that everyone has their fingers in someone else’s pie. Like Museveni (Uganda) influences Ruto (Kenya) and Kagame (Rwanda) every election and vice versa. Saudis influence Tanzania via Zanzibar and China is heavily influencing all of east Africa’s politics right now. The US is influencing everyone and you have China and Russia messing with the US and the US messing with them. If you look around nearly everyone is at least messing with their neighbors government and the bigger players have global influences going on. It’s one big competition for power and control between mainly sociopaths all the while the masses across the world mostly want the same thing, a good quality of life for themselves and their loved ones.
