You mean being a centimillionaire is all it takes to bag a 100 chinese spies?

I think there is a fundamental of what do well means in this context.

kraken_cult··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
It's better than not having a statement and have rumours flying everywhere.
kraken_cult··on Statement from Nvidia board of directors
> if there was any evidence that he actually compromised US national security he would already be gone.

It's likely the story coming out like this is the best mitigation they can come up with, if AI is a national security interest of the US and he's granting a Chinese asset access to said interests. He's already conspiring with a foreign government against the interests of the US.

That he's extremely visible in his role is probably the only reason he's still around, until next week or whenever. The US doesn't vanish prominent CEOs like that, that's more a China thing.

kraken_cult··on Goldman Sachs is pulling Claude Code from its bankers and traders
Yeah, this is more likely to not waste engineers time while dipshits vibe code their own "tools" and demand that they are production ready despite being said dipshit.
kraken_cult··on Tesla Hasn't Had a Successful New Product Launch Since JB Straubel Stepped Down
That seems like a major issue national security wise. I wonder why no one has brought that up?

The cynic in me would say, "all according to plan", it will be right before the new house and senate are going to roll out universal healthcare or something equally good for the average person. Better to get head of it before that happens.
kraken_cult··on Anthropic strikes $3.4B deal to generate gas-fired power for data centres
I suspect the rational calculus is that if you abscond with billions while destroying the planet, the billions will protect your for the remaining 80 or so years of your life. Which is of course safer than not having the billions in the theoretically inevitably destroyed planet.

"it's really dangerous, you better believe me!" screams a frantic Dario, pointing wildly with a gun "I'll do it, I swear I will. Just make me a trillionaire and no one gets hurt".

kraken_cult··on Technofeudalism
So is the internet a public good or not? Should companies be allowed to own and control it or shouldn't they, the analogy would be like if everyone needed a specific device to function in the modern world and only could go to one or two places to realistically get it.
kraken_cult··on Jobless tech workers are being left out of San Francisco's AI boom
I don't think that's what's happening here. It's pretty clear importing thousands (10s of thousands?) people into an area has an effect on the local residents that's not good.
kraken_cult··on BioWare co-founder: game execs "have never made a game" and don't get it
err, at least for Veilguard you're missing the point that the dialogue was preachy and stupid. It was a doomed concept when they started forcing bullshit into the game.

Presumably, but what do you think the lobbyists are for?

How about we gut the insurance companies that are blowing the price of everything in healthcare and not leverage the desperation of nurses?
kraken_cult··on Patrick Stewart taught us what good men do with power
People don't AI as a concept. They hate the people who creating it who want to make themselves god kings of a permanent underclass. They hate that we are building data centers instead of funding universal healthcare, they hate that they can't buy RAM and schmucks like Sam Altman are saying that people don't need RAM, they hate billionaires and millionaires owning islands, and saying things like "we will surveil everyone at all times (except me) and force them to behave like we want them to". There's a lot to the AI hate, but it's a proxy for essentially power inequality caused by runaway capitalism.

They can traffic them though, see Epstein and Mossad.

Gates and co were/are "Epstein types". They were just honeypotted by Mossad not China via the girls Epstein trafficked.
kraken_cult··on US inequality is getting worse in ways you might not expect
> The blame is always shifted to the wealthy by these politicians. It still won't fix the problem, if we don't have a better way to spend it.

The wealthy and the politicians are complicit in this. Take healthcare, wealthy insurance middlemen lobby to cripple any form of public healthcare initiative, politicians go along for some scraps and because their healthcare isn't affected. Suddenly, healthcare.gov is unaffordable and doesn't provide quality service even at unaffordable prices, no one is better off except for private insurers and politicians. Bring in the damn guillotines.

kraken_cult··on America has lost 200k of jobs in media, film and the arts. How much is AI?

kraken_cult··on Where Wealth Is Moving in America (2023)
>The type of people who move from CA to WY for the tax benefits are the type of people who pay more taxes than they use in government services (even with very low tax rates).

Ah yes, the government services the people will need after these locusts move in and price generations of locals out of their homes.

kraken_cult··on Terence Tao: Math 2.0 [pdf]
Most of the boosterism around AI is also starting like religious mysticism, the kind of arguments religious people made (and make), trust in God/AI, abundance is here, no one will have to work. I wonder what that tells us?
