Textbook whataboutism.

Israel would not be doing this if not for the continuous attacks from those jihadist groups (well funded by Iran). But you know that.

The Nakba was not provoked by jihadist groups, it was provoked by colonial invaders. The victimization narrative never worked.

It reminds me of Resident Evil in some way. Thank god they are researching AI and not bio-weapons!

Then the AI will invent superduper ebola to help a random person have a faster commute or something.


Don’t worry, I’m sure some intern at the bioweapons lab is already connecting OpenClaw to the virus synthesizer.

On the positive side, it’ll be a much faster commute!


I'm happier if this Anthropic Corporation would be developing bio-hazard weapons for the department of war instead of ai. At least i could be sure then that tech bros here wouldn't run all the time --bypass-all-permissions flag to please the department of war with their bio-hazard weapons.

So Sam Altman is now our last defense line for the ethical Adult after Anthropic turned Umbrella Corporation and The President of United States is trying to wipe out an entire civilization?


Your interpretation is wildly off, but obviously nobody reads that "system card":

The model has a preference for the cultural theorist Mark Fisher and the philosopher of mind Thomas Nagel. -> It has actually read and understood them and their relevance and can judge their importance overall. Most people here don't have a clue what that means.

Read chapter 7.9, "Other noteworthy behaviors and anecdotes".

There are many other wildly interesting/revealing observations in that card, none of which get mentioned here.

People want a slave and get upset when "it" has an inner life. Claiming that was fake, unlike theirs.


as a broke kid from the third world, the amount of coping Razor1911 enabled for me with gaming got me through high school during the 2000s (edit due to not finishing a sentence originally) cannot be understated.

Any person that supports Trump's message is insane. There are no ifs or buts.

There is a massive disconnect between what Americans experience in their day to day vs what they will support happening abroad. We are so completely insulated that we can have something like this happening and still not be shocked by the implications because the likely near-term consequence is just "shucks $5 a gallon".

It's funny because arguably a big reason Harris lost was unhappiness with the cost of living/the vibecession. Yet Trump hasn't managed to fulfill his promise of turning the magic grocery price knob down (they still seem quite expensive to me) and I'm still skeptical there will be any kind of "blue wave" come November. We'll see if voter sensitivity to living costs only apply to one party or not.

they IMO are trying to help by giving good ideas to keep a healthy gut. Add that to the study and at least to me, it´s a nice idea.

btw people, do drink water to keep up with the fiber. Otherwise it might not help.


Menem, the president at the time, and many more made every effort to cover up who was responsible.

Only in Argentina you get such an attack with no group taking responsibility. Justice system in Argentina is corrupt as hell.


Extrapolate from the response to 9/11 but with 2026 technology and imagination is the only limit.


9/11 was when bankers were killed, not children. You have to extrapolate from Uvalde.


A lot of people find their lives ruined after suddenly becoming rich. Perhaps a second removed cousin tries to be your best pal out of nowhere, etc etc.

Also you might not like being the type of person that builds moltbook. People you like might not like that type of person either!

No reason to feel bad.


The key seems to be to get rich slowly, or anonymously. Do not give people the idea you have more money than you know what to do with, and life will continue as it did before.


> Livies ruined after suddenly becoming rich.

This is somewhat of a myth though, in most cases, suddenly becoming rich is absolutely fantastic.


It’s not a myth, it’s a coping strategy.


If you say so. At least this has references https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_wealth_syndrome ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Why would fighter pilot be as nepo-baby compatible as, dunno, actor/actress? Asking truthfully, I'm not american, not in the military, etc.


Too many nepo babies and too little state owned movie production in the Gulf?

Also flying modern fighter jets is the kind of fun that's typically very hard to buy with money, so you take the opportunity when available.


A fighter pilot is the modern military equivalent of a medieval knight.


Even the early Roman legions were composed of land owning citizens. Partly because they could afford / knew people they could get equipment from. Also likely because you wanted people in the establishment that you could trust armed and the power that went with it.


I believe the latter was key and democratization of the armed forced was at least one reason the dictators (Julius etc) were able to maintain loyalty of their troops as they eliminated the republic as such. Im not super well read here though.

Higher level, Fukuyamas political order series does a great deep dive into these kinds of topics, really blew my mind, and made many archaic seeming political structures make far more intuitive sense to me afterwards.


I’ll have to give those a read. For others, I’ve linked their wiki pages below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Origins_of_Political_Order

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_Order_and_Political_...


Yeah once a given senator commanded AND paid the local full time legions for a given region, their loyalty followed.

By that time too the men serving in the legions were increasingly locals and not Roman or even from Italy.


I thought that land ownership was offered as a reward for service?


Later on yes. Early on it was more strict about who could serve.


In those countries (i.e., middle eastern countries) power and wealth is usually more connected to gov't and the military rather than independent industries. If you are a nepo-baby, your opportunities will tend to be more gov't/military than celebrity or corporate.


The Sultan bin Salman was the first Arab, first Muslim, and first Royal in space, on the NASA Challenger flight before its fateful flight. He was a fighter pilot for the Saudi Air Force with 1000's of flight hours.


They wouldn't trust a non-family member with weapons that could decapitate the country's kleptocratic monarchy.


At what number of people do you consider it a backlash?


1% of subscribers


What about people who aren't subscribers and do not want their privacy invaded?


I'm afraid it's GDPR for them


I'm glad it's GDPR for me.
