Most of the anti war veterans I know, and love are anti dying halfway around the world over bullshit that doesn't concern us. If it's our border, and our actual interests, yeah, that's a different animal. The moment one of our military guys gets dinged up, hellfire and damnation will be on the table.

The rest of the world is woke enough now, we can just leave them to their own devices and let them self destruct.

China released an AI model thats WAY better than openAI for FREE for ANYONE to use even commercially.

-Allegedly Chinese tech is 2 order of magnitude more energy efficient
-significantly smaller Chinese investment
-the free, "consumer" grade Chinese AI model is better than the best enterprise openAI model by all mensurable metrics
-Its even more user friendly

NASDAQ took a 3% drop on the day

NVIDA went for a cute lil 17% dip

this is why trumps AI project is so important

Imagine if your competition has an edge on AI with INFERIOR chip and 100 times less investment ... This is earth shattering.

>we will throw 500bn more into the national money pit because stocks fell on the news that something only moderately useful at best was done better for $10m by some random chinese ventcap firm

This is just the market correcting itself, as the last two years have been investors gaslighting themselves that anything with Ai slapped on it was bound to make money if they just threw enough money at it.

Personally I think there was significantly more Chinese government involvement than publicly disclosed, and this was their way to preempt the Trump administration and pop the AI bubble (and also get revenge for Tiktok/Trump reaming them in his first term).

Buddy I think you are misunderstanding

the AI sticker isent going away or even improving

its just now the Chinese supplying it and the data and information that will come with that

This is an objectively bad thing I promise
 
While effective and perhaps pertinent in the short-term, I feel a longer term solution is needed for it to stick.

Mexico and the US should adopt unilateral SEA-style drug smuggling laws. Caught smuggling over a certain amount === death penalty.

Sure, the cartel's can probably still get some mules, but you've just raised their operating costs by a massive amount. Now they're limited to a pool of the very desperate and/or paying a much higher sum / expending their social capital by needing stronger threats.

The viability and profitability of being a primarily narcotics gang will plummet, and all the other types of criminal activity don't generate nearly as much money.
I'll do you one better. I have hang ups about government enacted death penalties. Why don't we go back to letting people protect their property rights with deadly force? Do it Israeli style and just let the land owners shoot anyone rattling their fence. The state derives it's power from the people, so if the government can kill them, so can the people they derive their power from. I know its a nit-picky lolbert take but the government is retarded and I don't love the idea of them being the decide on who gets the DP and who doesn't. They don't exactly have a track record of fairness, and at least an angry mob of civilians parallels a democratic process.
 
It's all fucking gay ass bullshit. I can make anything a food truck can make, and do it better than some 60 IQ illegal or muzzie.
Unlike many other countries, America has very few laws on what you can call food. So some asshole can buy frozen meat from some no-name slaughterhouse and pass it off as ‘wagyu’ or whatever.
