competency crisis

these exist for the same general reason as sky-high in-group murder rates in tropical climates exist

lack of any external credible threat

whether lack of existential threat from harsh winters or lack of existential threat from competitors

lack of credible external threat turns attention inward, snakes flourish

competency crisis = coziness crisis

24 people killed in Bangladesh after protesters set the 5-star Zabeer International Hotel in Jashore on fire.

The attackers were out after Shahin Chakladar, an MP of the toppled ruling party, the Awami League.

OpenAI been doing horribly for past year,

assuming they really haven’t bothered to be training a 10x bigger GPT-5 in this whole time

If they haven’t - cooked, fail.

A pivot to hardware by Altman could make sense.

Altman always did have zero ability to commit to anything seriously for long.

Repeatedly giving up too early while failing upward.

Wouldn’t be surprised at all if Altman gave up, didn’t bother to get started on GPT-5, and just switched to trying to get into hardware.

We’ll see.

Yann Le Cunt

Face of the rising commies at Facebook,

Every day repeating nonsense lies he knows are lies,

Purely as a show of faith,

a loyalty test.

For the commies, in many ways nonsense is a more valuable organizing tool than the truth. Anyone can believe in the truth. To believe in nonsense is an unforgeable demonstration of loyalty. It serves as a political uniform. And if you have a uniform, you have an army.
