  • Because China “leveraged” US technology 20 years ago, US politicians bring it up as a current shittalking point still. Deepseek, being open source, is opportunity for Americans to gain technology transfer from China, without “stealing”.

    There is a desperation to protect US AI, mostly so that AI companies are indebted into serving the empire, and maybe the GOP,

    Something AI is extremely capable today is deciding who to ban on reddit, or at the individual voter level, decide who should be turned away from elections. Recent US election had record voter suppression and forced provisional ballots that were never counted. Previously, black was a sufficient suppression incentive. AI makes it easy to target individuals or other factors. Musk, being praised for understanding “election machines”, now with access to SS numbers and an ability to link to voters or views on Israel/genocide, is a super power that ensures being king maker in perpetuity.



  • E-bikes don’t need maximum energy density because they’re not gonna be used for long trips and are significantly lighter than cars and trucks.

    Actually, ebikes need energy density the most. They tend to not have fast public charging. A lighter ebike has huge advantages, if only for maneuvering a couple of stairs or over a log, but also in suspension and handling + a huge difference in range/acceleration.

    For an EV, you don’t need “race car” performance, and heavy chemistries are ok. Bike performance just gets a huge boost from relatively minor cost to improve weight/range and performance.



  • The company added that it’s “critically important that we are working closely with the US government to best protect the most capable models from efforts by adversaries and competitors to take US technology.”

    They repeated “US national security champion” in interviews today.

    The direct path to AI dystopia/skynet is to ensure military supremacy. AI can be far more profitable if it assists that objective, and skynet does not need to sentiently choose machine supremacy, if it is already programmed for anti-human militarist supremacy. AI/media programming you to support skynet is essential to militarist supremacy. Genociding a slave class that gets uppity over oligarchy and lack of income from resources devoted to skynet militarist goals, is a natural progression.






  • That is the western propaganda for justifying diminishing Russia. “If we are lucky a civil war fractures Russia into balkanized sections which the US/CIA will be able to keep divided and warmongering amongst each other. Blow up their oil. Yay!”. Instead, Russians understand this war as defensive, and don’t believe “NATO is a purely defensive alliance” BS, any more than non-imbeciles in west believe it, instead of willingly going along with the hateful propaganda lies because they have internalized their rulers warmongering profits as if it were a sports home team.

    We can all be very thankful for Putin’s restraint on nuclear strikes of US bases in Europe, or Aircarrier fleets off coast of Israel. If anything, opposition in Russia that would replace him, if impression was that Russia was losing/Putin approach was failing, would be more aggressive in ending the war once and for all.


  • they all deserve to either be killed with the pretense of being nazis, being their children kidnapped and given to Russian families

    Russia is the only side that has set “status quo conditions” for avoiding war. West+Ukraine chose this war. That orphanages in Crimea were evacuated to “safety”, and included a few ethnic Ukrainian children is not the “horror” it’s hyped to be.

    It’s fair to blame the side fighting for nazification and nato for the war.


  • Ukrainian source. There is Ukrainian/western warmongering/self diminishing/impoverishing disinformation/narratives, including Ukrainian propaganda reposted verbatim such as this article. All counter narratives are labelled pro-Russian disinformation. Very common on all social media.

    I have no idea whether there are some bot accounts on Bluesky, but it would be “not good” if Bluesky’s bans are exclusively against anti-warmongering bots, to promote the Ukrainian/NATO bots/content, which on other social media, have deeply funded “SEO scoring” already.





  • Biden, in last few weeks, made a very aggressive anti-Nvidia move in limiting AI processing sales severely to all but US’s very closest allies. Trump has antagonized most of these allies already. But datacenter costs in US going up very significantly from these new tariffs, in addition to forcing extremely expensive extortionist energy on America, is pretty sure to make datacenters outside of US far more profitable, and an extreme likelihood of a black market to both get chips to tier 2 and tier 3 nations, as well as to US consumers.
