Друзі, дякую вам за підтримку та донати для ЗСУ 💛💙
Зумів таки зробити невеличку анімацію на сьогодні 😅
Публікація буде за кілька годин, але вирішив уже зараз поділитися обкладинкою.
Як на мене, вона багато чого пояснює і може комусь знадобитися 😏

Speaking of TESCREAL, eugenics and their magical machine god, you know this racist dude here is an Epstein grantee talking in the news about “hereditary intelligence” and such and how Black people are so stupid and how we’re more fit for hunting.
When I tell you x-risk comes from eugenics….
ALT Some of his correspondents took it even further. Racist AI researcher and Epstein grantee Joscha Bach said, as reported in MS NOW, that Black children’s brains “are slower at learning high-level concepts” and better suited to a “more hunting/running style of life.” In a separate email with Bach—in which Bach also discusses the “Ashkenazi mutation”—Epstein reimagines Ancient Rome as a eugenicist paradise, a favorite theme of right-wing eugenicist tech billionaires like Musk: “it seems that Greece and Rome had a class society that allowed the upper classes to have more offspring than the lower classes, and larger
The claim that "LLMs cannot think" is unscientific, unless supported by a very difficult argument about non equivalence of causal structure producing anthropomorphic outputs. The claim requires a formally rigorous definition of thinking that captures how humans mentally manipulate conceptual structure. Since LLMs can reproduce all kinds of human output that require operations that are typically considered to involve thought (eg. scene understanding, text summarization, translation, computer programs, mathematical proofs, common sense arguments, spatial cognition, theory of mind), it has to be shown that LLMs reach these results in fundamentally different ways than human minds. In principle, this is not impossible (given that thinking is still relatively poorly understood by cognitive neuroscience), but would be surprising, because it has been shown that the causal structure of computer vision models is structurally equivalent to what neuroscience discovered about visual cognition in primates.
In any case, saying that LLMs don't think cannot reasonably mean that LLMs are inferior to human cognition (since that this evidently not true), but that LLMs discovered an equivalent yet at least equally powerful mechanism.

Eine staatliche russische Nachrichtenagentur veröffentlicht eine Kolumne, in der einem NATO-Mitglied eine kurze „Spezialoperation“ samt Nuklearschlag angedroht wird – und löscht sie drei Stunden später mit der Erklärung, das entspreche nicht der staatlichen Politik. ☝️
Anlass: Das litauische Parlament hatte Schritte unterstützt, das Verbot der Stationierung von Atomwaffen in Litauen aufzuheben.
Nosowitsch bezeichnete Litauen daraufhin unter anderem als „Selbstmordstaat“ und entwarf die angeblich „blitzschnelle“ russische Antwort.

‘Golden arches theory’ is still not aging well, as this McDonalds warehouse burns in Ukraine after a Russian attack.
Let’s talk about this.
Thomas Friedman came up with the Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention in the 90s, arguing that countries with McDonalds don’t fight each other.
More broadly, he argued countries that are economically integrated and codependent won’t go to war, hence the world needs more “McDonalds countries”.
It’s basically a rebranded version of arguments in the 1910s that proved so disastrously wrong before the First World War.
The theory looked prophetic in the 90s only because McDonalds was slowly expanding into countries already stable. The real cause and effect was inverse to the theory.
Friedman’s book on Golden Arches theory was released with darkly comic timing, just after ethnic violence in McDonalds-loving Yugoslavia prompted a military invention by McDonalds-loving NATO countries.
Nevertheless, the theory continued to take hold, especially in thinking around Russia and the West - and from both sides.
Ok, now here’s the really important bit that got missed.
Western and Russian thinking around Golden Arches theory had each taken the exact opposite lessons.
The West thought economic integration restrained aggression, while Russia thought economic integration restrained any response to its aggression.
That’s clear from listening to strategic thinking and commentary on the Russian side from the 90s.
They also saw “McDonalds countries” as Friedman called them, even if they didn’t call them that, but they just interpreted that relationship as weakness that could be exploited.
The lack of a stronger international response to each escalation of Russian aggression, such as after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, and all that nonsense about resetting the relationship just reinforced its perception that it could keep escalating more.
Russia escalates its aggression where it senses weakness. The connections and friendship you try to build with it - like “Russia is not my enemy”, blah blah - can make you a bigger target for that aggression.
The only real deterrence is to always stand firm on your values and be prepared to defend them no matter what.

Four years in the rabbit hole with millions of Russian military docs, and I finally feel comfortable writing this (very uncomfortable) story.
Russia appears to have upgraded and re-activated the fabled Dead Hand that ensures global nuclear retaliation if Russia is attacked.

US Ambassador to Greece and former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, admitted in an interview for a Greek publication that the US was behind the collapse of the Romanian government because of its refusal to purchase US gas at above-market prices.

Amazing detail in this @wsj article about Kimberly Guilfoyle, US ambassador to Greece: she told a Greek minister, in a conversation about the collapse of the Romanian government,“We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here."
