10000000 Nukes would be even more powerful.

I think they exist to block decentralized internet communities from becoming to powerful.

Terrorists deserve the death penalty.

… the largest producers: China, Vietnam, Russia and North-Korea. Not very dependable salesman.

Also special armor penetrating ammunition, because of tungsten high density and hardness, as the article mentions. This is why there was a tungsten shortage during WW2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfram_Crisis

I do not think Putin is smarter than Trump. He is dumper actually. Trump was a failed billionaire in New York, while Putin was a KGB apparatchik.

Will the fediverse also require age verification? the laws?

a lot more people have been building open source tools.

These tools would be a lot more useful if the people building them also released the prompts/instructions they used for the AI to build them under an open license as well.

The prompt is more important than the output, since it is human made and the limiting factor.

The capital structure of a nation/alliance is fundamental for strategic large scale investments. This is why the US and China lead in AI and electricity production nowadays.

they’re holding conversations about a European …

America will surely pay more than China for Australian tungsten to rid itself from the >80% over-reliance.

Culleton said the detention centre was cold, damp and squalid, and there were fights over insufficient food – “like a concentration camp, absolute hell”, he told the Irish Times

Ironically LLMs use open source code. They can not copy closed source code in their training data. They advertise for open source libraries/dependencies because of this.

Australia can export tungsten to the US.

Tungsten is critical for military applications and solar panel production.

A long term strategic plan for the defense union can be established, once they elect new governments.
