AI is the perfect tool to generate propaganda and fake-news on a massive scale for government and secret services. Humans may live in bubbles divorced from reality because of it. It also is the perfect technology for censorship, sentiment analysis/monitoring and thought-control automation.

Myanmar borders China in to its north and India to its west and is currently in a civil war. This would be the perfect battlespace for a proxy war between India, US vs China.

Demographics will play a major role in this: Younger median age countries will have more war and conflict, while the older countries can maintain some semblance of stability. South Sudan is a great example of this mechanism: This is why I also think this war will last 30 years, like the 30 years war in Germany 1618 that killed 50%+ of its populaiton.

During the first cold war conflicts happened outside of the super-powers:

• Vietnam 🇻🇳 and North-Korea 🇰🇵💥🇰🇷

This time conflicts will happen in Siberia, Africa and Middle east. I also think Indonesia and Pakistan will be center of major conflicts between China, India and the USA. These conflicts will costs some millions of lives, but not touch the empires heartlands, so it will not get nuclear again imo.

Peter Thiel

I think Thiel is the most "interlectual" and long term thinking of Trumps supporters. And he openly supported Trump since 2016, when Elon was still waiting & hiding. But somehow he gets less attention than Elon, I think this is his strategy to talk in the universities and not the MAGA directly.

What will the population of Taiwan think of this move? Since TSMC already has a fab in the US this will not affect them this badly?

is this a reference to an AI fail I have missed?

That bus in the countryside is scheduled every hour from my experience? No nice frequencies, especially if you are tired and want to get somewhere.

Most rational market: Sell off NVIDIA stock after Chinese company trains a model on NVIDIA cards.

Anyways NVIDIA still up 1900% since 2020 …

how fragile is this tower?

You make good points in favor of the UK. Still from my viewpoint the US has some favorable cards and sits on a longer lever in the long term in the bilateral relation.

1. Blockade could begin "soft" through tariffs and economic favors to other trading partners at first. Germany, Europe's biggest economy, exports most of its goods to the United States, so the EU depends more on the relations to the US than the UK. Tightening that bottleneck to get concessions rather than cutting it off completely.
2. And where would Britain get fuel from, 34% of UK fuel comes from the US according to oec trade balances? You need a lot of fuel reserves for a navy and air-force nowadays, not to mention to sustain a population. The U.S. is the biggest fossil fuel exporter in the world right now, and its growing into a petrol/oil-state.
3. The US can offer France and Germany protection from China (because its military is capable and the best in the world) no tariffs and cheap fossil fuel to stay neutral. The US would need to split the EU and NATO into different factions infighting for this, which they already kinda did: Poland can not import the same level of chips as Germany from the US politico, while Orban supports Trump.
