Nick Fuentes COOKS Abdul El-Sayed for saying White kids grow up thinking they're special
"They all feel that they're all like that, by the way. That's why they're mad all the time. That's why there's this anger that White people do not have."
Abdul El-Sayed says White kids grow up thinking they’re special when they really aren’t.

Kevin est le type précis de ces desaxés nombreux qu'il y a. Ce sont des rouges bruns, au vrai sens du terme, passant d'une manifestation pro-palestinienne et de la lecture attentive du Coran à des discours ultra-identitaires et nationalistes avec la Bible au coeur... 1/

the reason you as a 130+ IQ chud need to become rich and powerful is not because it will cure your depression (though it will) but because it will cure your interminable irritation at the law of entropy. No longer will you have to be inconvenienced by things always breaking or retarded people being retarded. You can just throw money at the problem by replacing it or hiring someone competent to handle it on your behalf.

My Dad did a great job keeping my mom interested forever. He was an untamable relic of toxic masculinity. Made a lot of things tense, always complaining about dinner and every little thing. Women literally get bored if you aren't aggressive to everyone over nothing.

Iran has fired its Hormuz gun (it can't be reloaded) and oil prices spiked less then they did in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine, let alone during the 2011-14 period (not even accounting for inflation!). This is the "Chekhov's gun" of geopolitics that many serious analysts were convinced would send oil to $200+ a barrel and trigger a global recession!
Although that is perhaps not so much an "American" victory, it is certainly a resounding vindication of globalism and the power of the free market to route around blockages and shortages.
However, even if you consider this from the perspective of US/Israeli interests, they basically killed much of the old Iranian regime (it is now an IRGC junta in but name) and sent its economy into a tailspin. It is in hyperinflation and having trouble paying its armed enforcers. Even if the regime remains in power, its capacity to do mischief and pursue nuclearization will be much reduced in the coming years. The US did all this at the cost of about two dozen soldiers and a genuinely paltry $50B that's out of all proportion on the harm it inflicted on Iran.

A series of strikes on Russian logistics by operators of the Signum Battalion of Ukraine’s 59th Unmanned Systems Brigade.
Among the targets hit was a Russian locomotive.

The destruction of Russian mobile fire teams by FPV drones of the Roniny Battalion of Ukraine’s 65th Brigade.
Mobile fire teams operate at a considerable distance from the front line.
Despite this, Ukrainian FPV drones already have enough range to hunt them down as well.

This is insane.
Oil exports from the Persian Gulf are almost back to pre-war levels.
Meanwhile, Iranian exports have literally hit zero.
Blockading Iran’s blockade actually worked.
Iran can’t stand this for much longer.

J’ai enfin lu le livre et, franchement, à mes yeux, ça transpire l’IA : balanciers, triades, maximes prêtes à servir, métaphores automatiques, petites phrases qui viennent faire « profond » par cycles prévisibles. Je ne condamne absolument pas l’usage de l’intelligence artificielle : pour un écrivain, c’est un outil extraordinaire, à condition de travailler avec elle et de ne pas simplement lui abandonner le livre. Ici, tout donne plutôt l’impression d’une délégation massive, et si c’est le cas, le plus simple serait encore de l’assumer. Le vrai gag, c’est @editionsgrasset : une maison d’édition est précisément payée pour repérer ce qu’un lycéen habitué à ChatGPT voit en dix pages. Là, le travail éditorial ressemble franchement à du travail de cochon. Quant aux enthousiasmes d’Amélie Nothomb, de Virginie Despentes ou de qui l’on voudra : cocasses. Un succès n’est pas un test de Turing, et un prix littéraire n’est pas un CAPTCHA. Nous entrons dans une époque de flou des plus réjouissantes, jusque dans la littérature. Un auteur n’a pas à publier la recette de son atelier : ce qu’il confie à l’IA, ce qu’il reprend, ce qu’il transforme peut parfaitement rester dans l’ombre. Le jeu littéraire a toujours eu ses secrets, pourvu que l’art en sorte gagnant.

It's just really hilarious rightists have declared themselves the defenders of Western civilization.
They are themselves the Third World!
In values, American rightists don't cluster with the West but with China, Russia, and Turkey. richardhanania.com/p/how-tru…
RT @RichardHanania: What is the world's most overrated problem?
It's easily climate change.
You can trust the experts. Climate change is…

How are the Saudis so fucking useless
People wonder why the US loves Israel - this is why. Every other dunecoon nation over there gets raped by goatherds. Israel alone is a more militarily useful partner than every Arab state combined even when they don’t help us directly
BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis might have directly struck Saudi Arabia's East-West crude oil pipeline in the desert southeast of Medina. Sentinel-3 satellite imagery from today shows a massive black smoke plume nearly 100 km long over the pipeline route, stretching across the desert between Medina and Mahd adh Dhahab.
Satellite fire data shows a large fire burning at the same spot, with multiple heat anomalies clustered along a stretch of under 10 kilometers, fire radiative power above 70 megawatts, more than double a conventional fire, and the burn sustained for at least 8 hours, per NASA FIRMS data from today.
The East-West pipeline carries Saudi crude from Abqaiq to Yanbu on the Red Sea, the kingdom's only export route that does not pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The fire comes amid Houthi attacks on Saudi territory over the past 24 hours.

Of course, once members are simulated in an environment like this, we can intervene with alternative control systems.
Here, we wire a full drosophila fly connectome into Senator John Fetterman, using a directed control mode to leave his office, vote for cloture, and return.

Badly misfocused marketing for GPT-6. A model with vastly superhuman capabilities and near-perfect ARC-AGI-3 scores is being pitched for the wrong audience and use-cases. It is competing for the title of the most epic marketing fail with Apple’s Vision Pro campaign.

I wish the mathematics community was reacting more like
"What did you say? You have solutions?! GREAT. We have problems, so come with your solutions. LFG!"
and less like
"We did not want you to solve our conjectures LIKE THAT 😭😭😭😭"
This is not great

Sam Altman admits he was wrong on AI's timeline and says society and the economy will adapt more slowly
"I thought when we got to GPT-4, which was back in 2023, that very quickly after that there was going to be much more disruption, software businesses up for grabs right away, than it turned out to be."
"I think I was wrong about a few things, but one in terms of the speed: the economy just has so much inertia."
"People keep doing the same things, buying from the same company, wanting to use their tools the same way. I think this is actually a positive in many ways, and it's going to make this big transition go smoother and slower. I'm grateful for it."
"But it means we've all been too ambitious on timelines. Even with this incredible technology, society and the economy will adapt more slowly."
Sam Altman reveals building Codex was a "crazy kamikaze mission" to beat Claude Code and that most of the best coders he knows now use Codex.
"We were way behind Claude Code, and it seemed like a kind of crazy kamikaze mission to try to beat them with a coding app."
"The consensus is that this kind of thing never works, and you just move on to the next one. It's a fool's errand to try to win when someone else already has momentum in a particular product category."
"But we decided we thought it was really important. We asked a team to do it, and they performed a legitimate, unbelievable, very rare in the history of business thing."
"Now it is the product that most of the best coders I know use."
"That felt like an impossible thing, but if we hadn't asked the team, hey, we have a really important but extremely hard mission for you, it just wouldn't have happened."
