Nope. Gulf Monarchies have nothing in common with these people or people residing in Mediterranean.
Gulf Arabs are keeping Europe afloat not to proper. This complex balancing act only they can manage. You can see here in 2022 NK Kim Jong un sending congratulatory message to Sultanate of Oman but in another way he added Palestinian authority. it is to show that he is not singling out one country. alot of things you only understand from observation like what kind of vehicles there leaders prefer and why certain things need to raise to much higher level rapidly.

Hey @pmc have you made a xiaohongshu account yet? You can reach more audience with your informative posts on gulf arabs there, many Chinese people are genuinely clueless about arabs. Also I came across a gulf arab E-thot account on XHS, it was active for a few days but now its contents are all deleted. Are there E-thots in gulf arabic countries also?

From that standpoint, everything the US is doing makes sense. They don't care about sanctions making China developing faster, they don't care about neglecting other realms of tech (e.g. biotech, renewables, etc.), they just need to slow down Chinese progress in AI enough using their only advantage which is compute until they get to AGI first. The tech bros really believe that this can be done, that it can happen within the next 2-3 years, and that it'll be so powerful as to render all other tech irrelevant immediately upon its completion.
They are nowhere in making an artificial lifeform yet they think they can get to AGI in the next 2-3 years? I think they overestimate their chances!

yeah but most of this knowledge comes from reading RT Arabic since its creation that highlight advantage of Gulf culture but that will be from Russian perspective.

The Lex Fridman interview had a lot of good info, but not really any stuff that isn't public knowledge. Still, it's good to hear them all collated in one place. I think the biggest takeaway is IMO the revelation of the America's overarching strategy. They all know that at the current rate, China will overtake the US in the last frontier, semiconductors, within the next 10 years or so. Their ONLY hope of remaining on top is to achieve AGI first, which will hopefully done with a big enough of a lead and result in an exponential increase in American tech that allows them to stay ahead.

It’s obvious that the tech bros in USG under Musk’s difection, are trying to replace old government programs that have worked for decades, but are screwing it up, hence why certain gov functions are messing up.

2025, the year when the world returned to viewing Chinese technology and craftsmanship as luxury goods and world class. As I’ve said before, go to any old European museum and look at the royalty and nobility’s collection of “chinoiserie” and fine china. The world is healing.

I find it funny how one of these statements say that the US needs people capable of reading Chinese research papers and patents to ensure US technological advantages.
They could immediately make sizeable gains on this if they simply bookmarked and read SDF technical threads. However if they did that, it would immediately become obvious how screwed the US is, so...

Ignorance is bliss

The only technical thread they should be reading post Dec 26 2024 is this one:

As the most basic of fraud prevention guidance will stress, the easiest way to spot a scam is that if it sounds way too good to be true, in the overwhelming majority of cases, it is.

Also, this magical god-like description of AGI sounds like it is conjecture up by people who have no idea what AGI is about.

Even if you do create AGI, it’s only a model, and the quality of input determines the quality of the output.

You still need to do the actual research to generate the raw data needed to feed into your model for it to come up with anything new, and you still need the industrial might to turn computer models into real life assets at scale and at speed.

True AGI with just Reddit and pornhub as data libraries is not going to give you warp drives even in a million years. And even if your AGI does manage to develop the blueprints for warp drives, it ain’t going to help if your workers just don’t have the skills needed to actual build the thing.

Can AGI be a massive game changing advantage? Sure, but you still need the full array of traditional scientific and industrial super power might to take full advantage.
