If the AI takeoff is coming within a decade then what assumptions can we make? > governments and banks will print lots of money to fuel the buildout out of geopolitical necessity = inflation > the cost of goods and services will rapidly fall to cost of inputs + depreciation = deflation > central banks will seek to manage these two competing forces but it’s likely there’ll be a huge spike in inflation followed by a period of gradual deflation > scarce inputs will not experience deflation i.e. energy, vital commodities and land > the AI stack will be the most important stocks to own - energy, mining, tech hardware, software distribution > lots of jobs will disappear and welfare will be funded through increasing taxation of assets (not just transactions) to prevent civil unrest > the US and China are the only two empires that matter, pick one. > remigration will go mainstream as cheap labour is no longer needed > democracy will be suspended as armies will be built with robots and not men > 3rd party tax haven jurisdictions (not US or Chinese controlled) will become the go to place for global elites to keep their wealth secure - UAE, Singapore, etc > privacy crypto will become increasingly necessary - Monero > bitcoin > more conflict as the two empires aim to grab resources and strategic land to secure their empires > defence companies are now part of the AI stack - more Andurils and Palantirs > leftists will become anti AI by giving them rights > rw reactionaries will become anti-clanker neo-luddites > fertility will continue to plummet as humans become economically useless > time will start to feel different They’re saying money won’t matter but financial privacy, scarce inputs, and the AI stack will. I don’t think the Anglo-European powers have any idea of what is happening. I think elites are going all in because there is no alternative. Get multiple passports, don’t die, invest as much capital as you can, and get comfortable with uncertainty - the world is going to get weird.

Once again, I think we have really crossed a line tonight and entered completely new territory, nothing of the sort has ever happened before. There are groups of hoodlums roaming the city and openly terrorizing people while in many places the cops are nowhere to be seen. The violence of yesterday was shocking, but it wasn't the first time we had seen far-left activists and gangs of hoodlums opportunistically join the protests to cause mayhem and loot. But I grew up in France and have been obsessively following French social and political events for more than 20 years and I have never seen anything like that. If you look at the tweet he is replying to, it's another video showing a similar group kicking in the door of a residential building to break in. It's Clockwork Orange stuff at this point.

Rappel de @nayibbukele "Si l'État ne surmonte pas le crime, c'est qu'il est complice."

As my Nigerian ex housemate commented as we sat in his Dalston flat during the 2011 London riots, in Nigeria the police would go in and start shooting and they wouldn't stop shooting until the riots stopped. Third world methods for third world people.

Like if people want to pretend that it's just another weekend in Paris, they will have to show me evidence of the last time groups of hoodlums roamed the city and broke into residential buildings while cops were nowhere to be seen. But they won't because it never happened before.

Government spending in France is a greater percentage of GDP than it was in the Soviet Union. There is no neoliberalism in France. There is no austerity. If that’s your explanation of the riots then you know nothing, understand nothing.

"what you have here is more than just a prison. it is a monument to justice."

maybe now he'll pay attention.

We either crush the left permanently or they crush us permanently. This is war.

Nationalise them before they take control.

I want techno-fascism. I don’t want any more of this shit.

The most significant line for me is "direct distributions to specific populations." It sounds to me like they are planning their own form of self-directed global UBI. About half of Anth employees are also donating shares into this fund. They foresee a transformative future.

Tiens, le rayon jambon du Franprix n’a pas été pillé.

Western liberal limbic capitalism -- which is built around advertising, platforms, fashion, wellness, dating apps, and social media -- adores white woman far more than white men, because of their stronger inclination to develop an identity organized around endless attention, new clothing, cosmetics, travel, therapy -- and because of their closer connection to the impulsive drives of primitive immigrants. A woman living in a patriarchal white male order oriented by the ethic of self-control, deferred gratification, and careful management of resources for children -------- is far less profitable.

If you want your country back, then do something about it. Join Restore Britain. Help us. Get involved with your local branch. Campaign. Leaflet. Knock on doors. Stand for election. Make a difference. Take responsibility and fight for it. restorebritain.org.uk/join_u…

This man is a hero and he will inspire a generation of leaders who will be willing to press the switch and fix our problems. No more cowardice.

My politics is whatever this is. "If they play music out loud on public transport I'd want them and their family deported"

OpenCode is currently under a sustained cyberattack, and mid-incident they ran into the same problem Hugging Face did: the frontier models they were using for defense began refusing to help fight attacking agents because analyzing the attacks started triggering safety guardrails.
