o jeito que o ocidente matou o conceito de "girl next door" é triste demais. Não pode mais existir uma garota bonitinha, simpática e simples, tem que ser sempre uma girlboss desconstruída com cara de cracuda

We have a right to compute. We must fight this.
We lost decades to this in nuclear energy which is only now being turned around. We cannot allow this to happen again.
The Nuclear Policy Playbook for Derailing the AI Revolution
As this new lawsuit mentioned in this AP story below makes clear, the third component of the 'How to Derail the AI Revolution Using the Nuclear Policy Playbook' is now underway in America. To recap the 3 steps of that anti-innovation playbook and where things stand currently as applied to AI:
Step 1: Whip up extreme fears about an important new technology until a full-blown techno-panic grips the minds of the public, the press, and policymakers. Step 1 is complete and has been remarkably successful thanks to an ever-growing coalition of fear entrepreneurs funded in large part by the Effective Altruism (EA) movement. Never in American history has there been as much fear surrounding a new technology as we see today around AI, robotics, and advanced computational systems. That mass hysteria is what fuels Steps 2 and 3.
Step 2: Unleash waves of new legislative and regulatory measures and just keep layering on the paperwork, permitting processes, confusing and contradictory new compliance requirements and threats of punishing liability at every step. Step 2 continues to unfold at all levels of government--federal, state, municipal--and will ramp up significantly in 2027-8. Next year we will likely see far more than the 2,000 bills we saw this past session. Many more will pass as AI techno-feudalism takes over America. Every state, city, and county will have its own repressive regulatory regime for these technologies. It’ll be like an ‘AI Articles of Confederation’ or ‘AI Holy Roman Empire’ model of governance as mass NIMBYism and “vetocracy” take over.
Step 3: Flood the courts with frivolous lawsuits based on junk science and enlist greedy trial lawyers to do the bidding of the anti-development forces. Step 3 is now gaining steam and this new lawsuit will be the first of many like this to weaponize our broken tort system. This will be the ultimate stake in the heart of the AI revolution. There is just no stopping the trial lawyers once they set their sights on a sector or technology. They will extract every last penny out of it (and then funnel lots of that money to the Democratic Party to make sure that no limits on liability, frivolous claims, and junk science are put on the books.) The only reason this liability hell did not decimate the Internet was because of the existence of Section 230 and the First Amendment. But now every politician in America wants to dispense with Sec 230 and skirt the protections of the First Amendment to let trial lawyers sue every tech company in America into bankruptcy using amorphous “safety” claims at every juncture. With Step 1 complete and Step 2 well underway, junk science claims will overwhelm judges and juries and the endless search for deep pockets will end with historic settlement and payouts.
Again, we have been here before. This 3-part model is a time-tested script for ending a technological revolution. It decimated the nuclear energy industry and now it will do the same to AI, robotics, and computational innovation.
It is the death of technological dynamism and an unmitigated disaster for our country, our geopolitical standing, and the public good.

This really is the highest aspiration of these kinds of weird, asexual, gold star chasing millennial women. To say "piss, fart, shit, menstrual blood, vagina" in place where it makes people rightly uncomfortable. This is feminism. This is apex women's rights. To be as vulgar and stupid and we suspect they are, but to be applauded for it.

The managerial class absolutely hate founder mode with a passion, and will do anything to peel away exceptional individuals from their earned power
他们没有“解雇”黄仁勋（Jensen Huang），而是将他彻底抹去了。
他花了33年时间打造英伟达（Nvidia），却在4天内化为乌有。
在我看来，事情的真相是这样的：
黄仁勋的影响力变得太大了。英伟达是整场人工智能（AI）竞赛的引擎，而他正处于这一切的核心——谁能拿到芯片？能拿到多少？AI的下一阶段发展速度有多快？这些都由他说了算。
而他背后的那些人——那些习惯了发号施令、掌控巨额资本的势力——发现他们已经无法控制他了。
他不再听从他们的指令。
他们强推自己的计划，他拒绝了；他们再次施压，他依然坚持按自己的方式推进。
你没法直接解雇这样一个人，否则股价会崩盘，全世界也会追问原因。所以，他们采取了另一种手段。
他们把他塑造成了一个“反派”。
看看时间线：
→ 11月8日：他承认了一段私情。
→ 几天后，各大媒体的头条都称其涉及“中国间谍”。
→ 新加坡方面表示，他们针对该女性的调查与“间谍活动”无关——但几乎没有媒体报道这一点。
→ 今天：他不再担任首席执行官（CEO）、总裁及董事会成员，即刻生效。
→ 同一天，英伟达迎来了史上首位董事长（Chair）。
一段私情不可能在4天内终结一位深耕33年的创始人的职业生涯。
这分明是一场精心策划的“抹黑行动”。
同样的措辞，同样的反派人设，在同一周内，铺天盖地而来。
这根本不是新闻，而是一场针对他个人声誉的蓄意打击。
至于事件核心的那位女性？据彭博社报道，她已经身在北京。这意味着她无法接受质询，而黄仁勋也永远无法彻底洗清自己的名声。这件事将永远悬而未决——这简直是完美的“武器”。
就连特朗普都曾称他为“体面人”，但这毫无作用。
这从来就不是关于一段私情的问题，而是关于谁能掌控那些驱动AI的芯片。在AI发展的下一阶段，他们需要一个“听话”的人。
那么，看看现在坐在他位置上的人是谁：首席财务官（CFO）科莱特·克雷斯（Colette Kress）出任“临时”CEO。而且，英伟达历史上首次设立了董事长一职，凌驾于CEO之上。
她并非在真正掌管英伟达，她不过是个傀儡。这一切的幕后推手，直指那些一心想让詹森（Jensen）出局的人。
本周，大多数人看到的会是一桩性丑闻；但几年后，他们终将看清这背后的真相。
他们或许能让詹森的名字淹没在新闻头条里，却无法将其从历史中抹去。关注我，并将此文转发给那些依然轻信新闻头条的人。

I have a major result to share.
I’ve found conclusive forensic evidence that the top 4 Chinese AI labs—DeepSeek, Moonshot, MiniMax and Ant Group—have built their newest models on NVIDIA’s most advanced Blackwell chips, which are barred from export to China.
This sounds insane, but I discovered that almost every AI model carries a hidden signature of the GPU that trained it. When a model is first set up, the starting values of its weights are laid out in a pattern that depends on the exact GPU. Each combination of GPU and seed number produces a unique pattern—a sort of fingerprint of the hardware used to create the model. Traces of that pattern survive training into the published model.
Again, this evidence isn’t based on any insider information or leaking. It’s based on a forensic analysis of the model weights released by the companies themselves.
I searched more than six trillion combinations of chip layout and seed number and matched them to open-weights models. In doing so, I found conclusive evidence that six Chinese AI models—including DeepSeek-V4-Pro, Kimi K3, and MiniMax-M3—were initialized on NVIDIA Blackwell systems. Four of the models match Grace Blackwell, the GB200 and GB300 parts in NVIDIA’s flagship liquid-cooled rack-scale systems.
I then verified these results on real hardware. Running unmodified PyTorch with the seeds I’d recovered, a Blackwell B300 reproduced DeepSeek-V4-Flash’s untouched starting weights bit for bit, and a rented GB200 reproduced Kimi K3’s to a correlation of 0.999995. A Hopper H100 reproduced none of DeepSeek-V4-Flash’s, and changing the seed by one broke the match. (DeepSeek’s seed is 953049583 by the way.) The method also was verified to match 24 known open-weights models to the hardware that developers said they used.
It is exceedingly unlikely that these results are a coincidence. Across six trillion combinations, the best accidental match should reach only about 8 sigma (i.e., eight standard deviations above what random chance would produce). The real matches range from 49 to 1,385 sigma, and even the weakest single test hits 20.
These were data-center-scale training runs. With some analysis of release schedules and model details, I estimate that the largest, Kimi K3 and DeepSeek-V4-Pro, used 2,000 to 3,000 Blackwell GPUs each. Clusters of this size cost on the order of $150 to $200 million each to buy, and across these labs alone would add up to more than half a billion dollars of export-controlled GPUs, not counting experimental compute or otherwise. It’s quite likely that we see multi-billion dollar expenditure on export-controlled GPUs.
I am highly confident in this result, and it has been independently verified by senior researchers at OpenAI and Anthropic. You can read the full report at unemploymentlabs.com/checkpo….
There is much more I’ve identified about these models through other forms of checkpoint forensics like this, and will have more to share soon.

Both the lower IQ and highest IQ whites are right-wing, which tends to be attributed to the fact that midwit left-wing propaganda goes over the heads of the former and is seen through by the latter.
There’s truth to this, but it overemphasizes the intellect. The ideals, the symbolism, the health, the body language of the right are apparent to all, prior to any intellectualization. The “vulgar” Trump supporter knows self-assuredness when he sees it; knows a hero when he sees one. And in fact, so does the midwit — who is then overjoyed to find left-wing propaganda that finally enables him to rationalize the resentment such a sight inspires.
In many cases, the vulgar Trump supporter himself is content and self-assured, and ranks well on certain hierarchies despite a lower position on maybe IQ or class. The genius Trump supporter may or may not be on top of many hierarchies, but in some cases, intelligence is the only prominent one where he ranks well, which might inspire the assumption that all political orientation comes down to intellect. There are also instincts to love one's country, love beauty, love freedom, love community, love order, regardless of intelligence.
What’s notable, then, about the midwit white left-winger is not their mediocre intelligence, but their narcissism; that there are no hierarchies that reward them except for midwit moralizing, and that that’s something they can’t accept.

Most people are not special, rational, or particularly good. They're tribal primates running social scripts, ranking status, and defending comforting lies over evidence. Intelligence, drive, and outcomes are heavily genetic. Equality of result is a fantasy. The average person will never produce anything of lasting value, and the world is carried by a thin minority they resent.

I have pointed out for years that if you replace "white people" and "whiteness" with "Tutsi", NPR becomes indistinguishable from Hutu Power Radio.
that is literally still wakanda to them; it's a world they can understand and have meaning in. it's a world where they can operate on African Time.
what they can't ever rise to the top in is the white man's world of Go To Work On Time, Every Time
and Time is Money
and You Need More IQ For This Job
and You Need Enjoyments of a Restrained Variety
Brown people unironically believe that once yt is gone and they take over their country civilization they will live in some wakanda type utopia. No my man right after yt is gone you are going to fight multiple ethnic civil wars and turn the country into the dump you were

This is the killshot. This is why liberalism is done. There is no turning back, and the sooner the centre-right get their heads around this, the better.
You cannot close Pandora's box. You cannot turn back time. To fix liberalism's mistake will mean an equally irrevocable break from liberalism itself whichever route you choose from here.

Chuck Grassley is currently 93 - he was reelected to the Senate in 2022, and he plans to serve out his term. Bernie Sanders is 85, his term ends in 2030 - and he has already filed papers to run for reelection.
It's just completely ridiculous.

“I never have lacked options. The problem is figuring out if men are real options or just wasting my time.”
No you dont have options. Women are the gate keepers of sex while men are the gate keepers of commitment. If you cannot secure commitment from a man you are head over heels for you are a femcel. Options for sex as a woman is like options for friendzone as a man.
This is like saying “dude i have so many options to get laid i have like 25 female friends. Women let me by them drinks ALL THE TIME. Problem is they just always LIE TO ME and tell me IM SUCH A GREAT GUY and would make SUCH A GREAT HUSBAND but then when it comes to the opportunity to have sex they just MAKE EXCUSES. But like i have so many options to have sex they just for some reason never work out”
No I wouldn't have. At 34, I had a hot, 6'4" 27 year old repeatedly giving me ultimatums to commit.
If anything I had too many options. I would have hundreds of matches. I would keep a rotating list of 10 ranked prospects.
At 35, after a breakup with a guy who admitted just lying the whole time, I was going on 5 dates a week and my standards were not high. I did actually go out with a 53 year old but the sex was terrible so I bounced. The guys who did finally want to date me seriously were the hottest ones and my age. I fell for one but then freaked out over a perceived dealbreaker because I was scared to get hurt again.
I never have lacked options. The problem is figuring out if men are real options or just wasting my time.
Since 36, I have been telling guys I do not want to date unless they are looking for marriage and kids. Every guy says he is down. I even had a whole contract at one point.
I am now 40 and my friend of 6 years told me he had been into me this whole time. I said I do not want to date except for marriage and kids.
He said our kids would be supermodels who look like me. He had remembered so many details about me over the years and had saved a bunch of candids he took that I didn't even know about from when we met.
I believed him. Honestly at this point I think he was genuine and that I screwed up by being pushy and then kind of an asshole, as people have explained.
There is still no lack of options, and if I go to a bar and walk around it's going to be the hottest guys who talk to me not the other way around. But I apparently have to assume most are just liars and fuckboys.
I also do not like older men. I do prefer younger and I reject double standards about this. Women have just as much right to choose what we like as men do and should be able to trust that men trying to date us are not just fuckboys lying. Honestly I think the young ones are less likely to be so. Any guy single and going for younger women at 55 is probably sexist and just going to keep trying to go for younger women. 🤮

after they made having sex so dangerous that it might as well be illegal, young men looked for other ways to live happy and fulfilling lives
so now we have to make that illegal too
