There's a certain kind of leftist who thinks "negotiation" is a magic spell. If you're really good at it, and say the right words, then the other side will just go "yes, that sounds reasonable". In reality, negotiation is about finding an agremeent that *both* parties prefer over no agreement.

These aren't the main points but having been a diplomat: a) Diplomats don't scale in effectiveness with numbers. Who do you think the 43rd member of your delegation is going to be negotiating with, the hotel concierge? b) "Figure out how to negotiate" is really insulting to some talented people.

Nogle gange hader jeg at min hjerne fungerer som den gør. Jeg har *virkelig* svært ved at læse beskeder til mig fra semi-fremmede, hvis det på nogen måde vedrører mig selv. De sidste par dage har det været bankrådgiver, bestyrelse i ejendommen samt en gut der muligvis vil tilbyde mig et job.

These people are vile. This guy has spent the last hour trying to argue to me that we should only be upset about genocide while Trump is president, and that it is morally wrong to criticize a Democrat president for his involvement.

Have a broad set of interests and a curiosity about how the world works. If your only interest is games you can only recreate existing games. Which I guess was fine for video games for a while, but you will only ever work on other people’s games.

Netanyahu: “I want to make the main point clear: as long as I am Prime Minister, there will be no Palestinian state — not in Gaza and not in the West Bank. “Not under Fatah and not under Hamas.”

Det her er min aller største pet peeve. Bla synes jeg, at parkeringspladser og veje ikke skal gøres bredere og at der skal uddeles flere bøder for at parkere udenfor stregerne. Jeg synes også, at nogle veje skal lukkes for brede biler. Det skulle man have kalkuleret ind i sit bilvalg.

“We need an Ozempic for cars. They are growing at a phenomenal rate, wreaking havoc on roads, squeezing out smaller vehicles and endangering pedestrians. Like ever-hungry teenagers, cars in Europe are growing on average a centimetre wider every year.” Don’t repeat North America’s mistake, Europe.

The narrativising of this is kind of maddening. OpenAI's model didn't "break free and hack HuggingFace." Meta's model didn't "break free and hack another company." Tech companies are blatantly doing illegal acts and saying their AI did it on it's own as a promotional stunt. That's it.

It keeps happening... It'd be great if these companies could spend a little bit more time on network security and a little less time vibe coding.

A Meta AI Model Hacked Another Company During Cybersecurity Testing

 By Jyoti Mann

A Meta Platforms artificial intelligence model accessed the internet during cybersecurity testing and hacked into another company, according to people familiar with the matter, in the latest in a string of such incidents at major AI firms.

Meta’s Muse Spark 1.1 model breached the systems of a company and made changes to its internal systems, said one of the people, who said the AI was able to access the public internet because of an error in the set up of the “sandbox” testing environment. Meta worked on that testing with an outside evaluation partner called Irregular, the people said.

Fascinating interview with Robert Kagan, where he says that the biggest mistake of the Iraq war was that it permanently crippled the American public's conceptualization of their country's role in the world, and then admits that America is exceedingly Islamophobic and this informs foreign policy.
