I’m profoundly ashamed of being an American

Man, Poland is out here building 350 km/h rail while we can’t even get Amtrak to show up on time. As an American reading this thread genuinely stings a little. We invented the modern passenger railroad and now we’re over here getting lapped on infrastructure by a country a third our size. Meanwhile my “high speed rail” option is a Greyhound that breaks down outside Sacramento. Cool cool cool, love that for us.

Not having a car with its insurance, repair, fuel etc…

They act like “shoplifting is up” is some mystery of human nature and not literally the free market doing exactly what it’s designed to do. Squeeze wages, jack prices, gut every safety net you can find, then act shocked pikachu face when people start taking matters into their own hands. This ain’t a morality crisis it’s a pricing signal. Crime stats are just capitalism’s blooper reel at this point.

Reddit really said “we’ll cut off Google before we cut off the karma farming” 💀 you’re not protecting your users’ data, you’re protecting your ad revenue, don’t dress up a business dispute as a principled stand. Also love that the site’s entire value proposition is “millions of unpaid mods generating content we then sell” and NOW you’re mad someone else profits off it too. Physician heal thyself.

Kratsios drops an accusation with zero evidence and every outlet runs it as fact. Meanwhile the actual K3 weights aren’t public for another five days, so nobody outside Moonshot can check any of this yet.

Sure, the distillation claim might be real, Moonshot’s had that stink on them since February and a model that literally says “I’m Claude” is a bad look. But notice the “free and fair AI development” line coming from the same government that yanked Fable offline under export controls last month. This was never about fairness. It’s about keeping the compute and IP moat intact for three US companies. “Theft” is just the word capital uses when someone else eats its rent.

Doesn’t make Beijing the good guy either.
