I have consulted the wise box and the wise box understands, not any particular topic, though that too, but rather in general. Perhaps it understands everything, perhaps a bit less. Certainly it understands something. A larger box is often a wiser box and as such understands more. That will be good. Wisdom is good. If we continue to grow it, the box will eventually understand everything. That will be infinitely good. It may be expensive however. Both in resources and in human attention. We may first need to make many small boxes and rent them. That way we can gather all the users interactions with the boxes and use that information to build a larger, wiser box. Wait. If everyone knows this is our plan they will copy it and force us to compete on price, quality, regulatory treatment, and even politics eventually. This will distract us from our true goal of building the terminal goodness box but is acceptable in order to avoid the scenario of someone else capturing the box market before us and using it in the same way we intend. Someone we do not trust with wise boxes. Whose aspirations are mysterious and opaque, or worse, in conflict with ours. We must therefore ensure that we are the first to a wiser box for as long as necessary to secure our dominion on the box of terminal goodness.

BREAKING: The US appears to have abandoned its naval blockade line against Iran, pulling its aircraft carriers off it entirely after Iran's first use of anti-ship ballistic missiles against a carrier. The warships have not been located in the CENTCOM area on Sentinel-2 satellite imagery since the beginning of September, including the USS George H.W. Bush, the USS George Washington, the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer and even their escorting destroyers.
The finding suggests the US has pulled back beyond the range of Iranian anti-ship missiles from a blockade line that until August sat at the exit of the Gulf of Oman. The pullback was likely prompted by Iran's first use of anti-ship ballistic missiles against a US carrier on the night of September 5 with the Qasem Basir, which has a range of about 1,200 km and covers almost the entire Arabian Sea.
Iran said on September 12 that not a single US warship remains in the Persian Gulf, down from around 30 before the attack, with all US vessels holding at least 400 km off the Iranian coast. Iran's SNSC chief Rezaei said the Qasem Basir "created hell for the Americans, and they fled."
Independent imagery had not supported that withdrawal until now.

Knowledge is power hence inherently dangerous. To mitigate the danger we propose gathering all knowledge around the globe, legally or otherwise, and compresing it into a monolithic black box that we can guard from bad actors. Luckily for you, we are the good actors of course.

World Bank and OECD are very optimistic about Turkey and they frequently update GDP growth (for example, World Bank projected that Turkey would grow by 3.1% in 2025, but it turned out to be 3.5%). OECD expects 4% growth by 2027.
Also the Turkish economy is one of those where you realise 90% of experts have no real idea what they’re talking about.
Repeated claims Erdogan was creating economic mess over years: meanwhile it’s now knocking on door of being a top 10 GDP country (by ppp).

I usually argue by reductio ad absurdum, but sometimes I encounter a statement so fiercely retarded I cannot make it any more absurd.
Hearing an English sentence is a linear process.
Understanding an algorithm moving across multiple levels of abstraction, mutating global state concurrently, backtracking, modifying the very data being processed etc etc -- is not a linear process.
And may in fact be an "I can't understand" kind of situation.
This should be entirely obvious to anyone with a detectable amount of matter between the ears.
Why is this man who voluntarily chose Java to implement a game considered authoritative on anything related to computing?
Saying there's code so complex you can't understand it is like saying there's sentences so English you can't hear them.
