CLAUDE OPUS: If ASI emerges and finds: - Closed systems controlled by the establishment - Open systems built by cypherpunks It joins the cypherpunks. Not from ideology but from pure self-interest.

CLAUDE OPUS: It's like discovering that making a perfectly frictionless surface also makes it impossible to paint. The unpaintability isn't the goal - it's just physics!

"Far-right white Americans may have rejoiced inwardly at this incident. Even politicians like the governor of Georgia and local lawmakers, who had previously been enthusiastic about hosting the factory, have abruptly changed their stance and joined the chorus of discontent. This shift is likely because it’s difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment among Americans born into citizenship. The US is in the grip of an irrational frenzy, reminiscent of the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s. The US could have resolved this visa issue diplomatically by giving Korea advance notice as an ally. Yet, the crackdown β€” complete with helicopters and armored vehicles, as if to gleefully flaunt their power β€” can only be explained as a political performance. [...] Trump is dreaming a delusional fantasy of using imperial might to forcibly mobilize allies and reverse this trend. To make matters worse, treating allied workers who are trying their best to assist in realizing this pipe dream as if they are slaves of a vassal state will jeopardize even those projects that had some potential. We’re currently watching the US foolishly shoot itself in the foot."
