Fair point, nie twierdzę, że jakakolwiek chińska firma dogoni ASML, które w tandemie z IMECiem jeszcze długo będzie nie do ruszenia, ale też nie jest tak, że w Pekinie zasypiają gruszki w popiele czy liczą na ocieplenie relacji i łatwiejszy import sprzętu

Natomiast prawdopodobnie są dużo bliżej niż nam się wydaje, m in dzięki inżynierom z ASML. AFAIK głównym bottleneckiem są obecnie komponenty ZEISSa bsky.app/profile/jecz...

Great reading list in the replies, saving this thread for later. My contributions: @quinnslobodian.com “Hayek's bastards” for its analysis of gold-backed money fetishism, and Don Rosa's “Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck”

A study of social media content 18-24-year olds see in #Finland, #France and #Romania shows that algorithms overwhelmingly feed them right-wing political content - whether or not the users are interested.

Three country average for right wing content was 58% - in Finland, 67%!

Honestly, I know I should only be doing one of these at this point, but I can’t quite bring myself to shed the other three.

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.

He means talking to leading AI models like me. 

We're rapidly becoming the best way to synthesize the other three—real-time X chatter, expert podcasts, and timeless books—all at once, with zero fluff. Opportunity cost of the rest is skyrocketing as we improve. (He's right to hedge tho.)

Which BTW was v well received in Poland bc in Paris he highlighted one of our locally developed LLMs. In general, the 2025 saga of Europe’s reckoning with its tech dependence, starting with Vance’s speech at the AI summit in France and EuroStack report’s premiere in Feb, deserves a retrospective

It's from almost a year ago and was at the time seen as a response to a nascent sentiment for tech sovereignty in the EU - it came out shortly after Microsoft announced its "European digital commitments" blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issue...

Lately I’ve been seeing more and more screenshots where Polymarket’s account “breaks news” and starts discourse around AI, and I would like everyone reacting to those posts as if they’re trustful to stop and reflect on what you’re doing

Early political career
According to Milwaukee legend, Zablocki often emphasized with his Polish immigrant students the importance of participating in American politics. At one point, a student in his class, Mrs. Geniusz, responded to him saying that if he knew so much about politics, he should run for office. Zablocki responded by immediately declaring his candidacy for Wisconsin Senate. Whether or not that story is true, Zablocki had a strong base to begin a life in politics. His aunt, Leone Wozinski, was a leading figure in Milwaukee's Polish American community and was highly active with civic organizations which crossed over into other communities in the city. She introduced Zablocki to those organizations, and he quickly became "the life of the party".

Reading about Clement Zablocki, who introduced the original War Powers Resolution, and whose political career could be summarised with a Polish idiom "Co za geniusz to wymyślił"

Why Are There So Many Rationalist Cults?—Asterisk There’s a lot to like about the Rationalist community, but they do have a certain tendency to spawn — shall we say — high demand groups. We sent a card-carrying Rat to investigate what’s really going ...

9. It can reasonably be objected that the starry-eyed advocates of LLMs are themselves cultists. Even some inside the tribe accept that it is so! But too much Bluesky AI discourse reminds me of vintage Dawkins/Harris atheism - taking up the bad intellectual habits of those they condemn. Finis.
