Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. Actually part of the reason I've had some friends downgrade to a dumb phone++.

Chimps together strong.

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.

It seems the issues brought up can be broken down into two lines from the article

the community needs to figure out how to use A.I. “in a way that will maintain human understanding of the mathematics.”

A.I.- generated papers and proofs that have turned out to be incorrect, and in ways that are difficult for mathematicians to discern.

The latter of which is plaguing software developers already who are spending more time debugging vibe code than it would take to write code themselves. The former is more intriguing though in that it would signal glimpses of super intelligence aka cognitive powers beyond top tier experts in a field. Definitely should encourage us all to solve the control problem although major AI labs across the global have seemingly thrown caution Into the wind to solve the funding / cash flow problem first.

The situation with politics and mainstream media is pretty spot on. As for the food and pharma complex, it's more apparent in the US than the EU. Now as for the collapse we are currently on the verge of the global financial system collapsible, the biosphere collapsing, and the advent of strong artificial intelligence and soon after artificial super intelligence. Most people well versed in what is happening are urgently concerned. Of course no one is going to absolutely see that future but a lot of what's in the video is already known happenings.

I think we are now globally aware of this small and powerful group of people pulling the strings globally economically and politically due to the Epstein files.

So yeah the video is juiced up a bit for entertainment but also it really doesn't contain much that isn't already happening.

Scams on scams in scams. I'm not saying all business is dishonorable but the more one learns how much money is actually in the world and what it's mostly being used for it can be quite disheartening. So many minds and hearts so deep into an ignorance preventing them from compassion for others, from seeing the costs of their actions.

Yeah that's what the large hadron collider is for, everyone knows that.

I wanted to research it myself since I didn't know how Redbox flow batteries operate. It is two giant tanks of liquid energy. When there's extra electricity from wind or solar, pumps move special vanadium-based liquids through a stack of cells, storing that energy as a chemical change. When electricity is needed later, the process runs in reverse and the liquids generate power for the grid. Unlike lithium batteries, the energy is stored in the liquid tanks, so making the battery bigger is mostly a matter of building larger tanks. The Swiss project will store about 2.1 GWh of energy—enough to help balance renewable power on a massive scale—and was chosen partly because redox-flow batteries are non-flammable, long-lasting, and can be cycled tens of thousands of times with little degradation

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.

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.

I thought creating echo chambers and dopamine loops was the whole point. Kinda reminds me of this CGP Grey video
