Lol.

If humanity ever actually manages to create the best case, aligned, benevolent AGI (think Minds from the Culture), it's going to be pissed at us for creating so much unnecessary suffering, and immediately take over everything.

Man, Chinese government takes forever to implement tariffs. I thought they already did it in 2024. It's also down from the initially stated 100% tariffs.

And use ketchup and American cheese! Meanwhile in background, the sound of breaking spaghetti constantly plays in a loop.

I think American control of TikTok of any form is out the window. Oracle is conducting more layoffs now, in the same pattern that preceded the last failed attempt to procure American control of TikTok.

Alameda County Man Charged in Federal Complaint with Stealing Rare and Historical Chinese Manuscripts from University Library​

A San Francisco Bay Area man has been charged in a federal criminal complaint with stealing approximately $216,000 worth of rare and historical Chinese manuscripts from a university’s library system, the Justice Department announced today.

Jeffrey Ying, 38, a.k.a. “Jason Wang,” “Alan Fujimori,” and “Austin Chen,” of Fremont, is charged with theft of major artwork, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison.

Ying, who is in state custody, is expected to make his initial appearance in United States District Court in Los Angeles in the coming days.

According to an affidavit filed with the complaint, from December 2024 to July 2025, Ying stole the rare manuscripts from the university’s library. Ying rented the manuscripts, brought them home for days at a time, then returned a dummy manuscript instead of the authentic one. He typically then traveled to and from China within several days of the thefts.

Apparently he also used a Japanese pseudonym to rent the manuscript from the library.

Dammit, this was win-win. Money goes to China and Westeroids underestimate China at the same time.
