The most lethal weapon China could use against the US right now is... Open source LLMS. The cheaper, smarter and faster, the more damaging. Amazing times!

The real death toll in Gaza is impossible to know because Israel blocks all neutral parties, has killed all Palestinian doctors & record-keepers, and destroyed all hospitals that could process the dead. That's why medical professionals are relying on population distributions, early death counts and current living population to make a reliable estimation. The death tool is very likely closer to this number:

The most recent was found by the Polish border guard last week […] The entrance was around 50 metres inside Belarus, while the exit was located 10 metres inside Poland.” https://notesfrompoland.com/2025/12/16/poland-says-specialists-from-middle-east-digging-migrant-tunnels-under-belarus-border/

“This environment combines longstanding anti-American and anti-western sentiments (particularly within parts of the historical left) with authoritarian nostalgies on the conservative side. The result is a dangerous cocktail that has made Italy one of the European countries most susceptible to Russian disinformation.” https://neweasterneurope.eu/2025/12/10/normalizing-pro-russia-narratives-straight-from-the-kremlin-playbook-an-autopsy-of-an-average-italian-social-media-feed/

Curtis Yarvin vs Robin Hanson — Monarchy vs Futarchy debate from 2011 might not relate to the context of the channel but i think it's tangential, seeing the former related to it re: prediction markets on X today. https://youtu.be/yIkrfdSQk4w

🇺🇸 take note... You're next. -- In sheer numbers and through savvy social media campaigns, including on TikTok and Instagram, the generation of Bulgarians who were born around the turn of the century has been credited as a driving force behind the mass protests that prompted Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov to step down. Parliament officially accepted his resignation on Friday. “I was very excited to see that a lot of Gen Z-ers took to the streets in big numbers,” Konstantin Tuzharov, a 24-year-old marketing specialist based in the capital of Sofia, said Friday. The movement marked the first time he had joined anti-government protests, which provided a sort of political baptism for him and others around the country. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/world/europe/bulgaria-young-protesters-gen-z.html?smid=url-share

“By its nature, Russia’s sabotage campaign in Europe is diffuse and hard to read. Aggressive but ultimately clumsy attempts to sow chaos might yet be reflective of the dynamics inherent in a sprawling, authoritarian state, in which every officer is desperately trying to show initiative and accomplishment to superiors, rather than revealing any doctrine or plan.”

These attacks on Europe, including from people I've generally considered interesting and sophisticated, are getting unhinged... I get that EU has problems - GDPR clickthroughs are dumb, Chat Control is awful, they needs to get better at supporting entrepreneurs, people saying mean things about criminals getting longer sentences than the criminals is just crazy - but the apocalyptic attitude about the issues seems really over the top. It just does not match my experience from spending over a month every year there. https://x.com/palladiummag/status/1998124927485186193

Maximum human capital value extraction at minimum wage … How the training agent economy exploits knowledge workers in the developing world by using contractor pay as indentured servitude. Proof of Sharecropper Economics in AI as "Innovation"… We've been sold a false narrative that human expertise is now a commodity. In a future based on asymmetrical concentration of power, this story serves the consolidators of this centralized power. Ever wonder what would happen if training agents got backend remuneration for their work? What if they got $15 / hour + royalties but with a better revenue share than extractive labels. What does win-win-win from a symetrical value creation pov look like? https://outlier.ai/generalists/t1?pod=generalists
