Meta's AI chief doesn't think AI super intelligence is coming anytime soon, and is skeptical on quantum computing Published Sun, Dec 3 2023 11:00 AM EST Jonathan Vanian @in/jonathan-vanian-b704432/

The final bullet-point is not directed at you, it's an amalgam of predictions (explicit or implicit) made by several posters who are criticizing Milei's plan to shutter the Central Bank of Argentina. Once again, Argentina is in no position right now to stop a US Military invasion, so they have no realistic choice to make precious metals their legal tender. That's how you get invaded by the US Military (esp. if you have oil, as Argentina does). So, he's just dollarizing for now. This is a proven solution. It will work. The problem in this thread is that the moment Milei says, "Let's do X because X is good", there are a million critics deboonking him because "He should do Y instead because Y is perfect!" In politics, the perfect is almost always the enemy of the good. Going from the worst thing in the universe (the Argentine peso and its evil central bank) to something that is not great, but usable (good enough) will be a massive boost to the Argentine economy. Is it a permanent solution? Of course not. Maybe 5-10 years from now, Argentina will have enough economic strength to be able to flip the bird at the Fed's shock-troops and they can move to precious-metals. For now, the USD is practically gold compared to the peso. Once again, you are misunderstanding the nature of international central-banking. Argentina, like ALL countries in the US sphere of influence, is already under the Federal Reserve. The United States exports its inflation to all subject states in its empire (aka sphere-of-influence). This is all explained at length in this article by Hans Hoppe, which I already linked above: Government, Money and International Politics. Please do read it as it will turn your world upside-down. Based on your post, it's clear that you do not understand just how insidious the Fed really is. Argentina is already subject to the Fed, so this is not "going from one master to another", it's eliminating one level of subjugation.

Fresh drop, truly crazy guitar from these guys... New discovery... very similar genre to Graphic Nature, but I like the use of nu-metal elements... very tight!

"Alex, I'll take What is a one-sided limit?, for $200..." One-sided limit The limit from the right of 1/x as x->0 is +∞. The limit from the left of 1/x as x->0 is -∞. Note that those are the only two limits available, and neither of them is zero. And since the one-sided limits of 1/x at x=0 are not equal, the limit (two-sided) of 1/x at x=0 does not exist. Thus, 1/0 is undefined. Graph:

From what I've been able to gather from reading various sources, Milei's dollarization plan is merely to shutter the central bank and convert pesos to dollars on some schedule. De-commissioning a currency like that will have some hazards, some people could lose money if they are tardy. But getting Argentina off the peso is going to be an unqualified economic boon to their economy. It's a perfectly valid choice for Argentinians to elect a President to end their miserable currency. And since they're not ready to fight of a US Military invasion right now, precious-metals is not a realistic alternative. That leaves the dollar, which several other SA countries already use as their currency. Some people are trying to twist the narrative and make this some kind of mass vote of confidence in the USD. But it's not, because all client-states of the US empire (such as Argentina) already use the USD as their base currency... USD is what their central bank holds as "gold" reserves. Thus, Argentina is already paying exported US inflation and, on top of it, the Central Bank of Argentina adds even more inflation. Most client central banks in the world are smart enough to keep their inflation-rate pegged to the Fed, or lower. But not Argentina. So, eliminating the peso, and adopting the USD as an official currency is only common sense. Milei is absolutely doing the right thing here, it's not even a serious debate, but it is certainly a Marxist talking-point! For more information on how the Fed exports inflation globally, see Hans Hoppe's excellent article, Government, Money and International Politics, where he explains the entire process in precise detail.

Made this:

Added: Official Milei Predictions List (will update over time): Milei is going to invade the Falklands Milei is going to send money/weapons/troops to Ukraine Milei is going to send money/weapons/troops to Israel Milei is going to invade the ME (since he's a "neocon" and that's the true definition of a neocon...) Milei is going to institute CBDCs

List re-updated: Official Milei Predictions List (will update over time): Milei is going to invade the Falklands Milei is going to send money/weapons/troops to Ukraine Milei is going to send money/weapons/troops to Israel Milei is going to invade the ME (since he's a "neocon" and that's the true definition of a neocon...) Milei is going to institute CBDCs

What change?! OK? And? What change!

As a libertarian, I support the right of Javier Milei to inject whatever gunk into his body he chooses. As a medical decision, I think it's stupid. But people have the right to make mistakes, be stupid or act recklessly... that's called freedom as in, "VIVA LA LIBERTAD!"

The actual asset value of Twitter is in (a) its enormous human-to-human conversational dataset, and (b) its own in-house AI algorithms which I'm willing to speculate were at ChatGPT level of sophistication, years before ChatGPT. People keep trying to assess the value of Twitter in terms of ad revenue and, while that's not a negligible factor, it nearly is. And that's why he's been so jaded about ad revenues because he knows that he's sitting on a nest-egg worth zillions of dollars even if he were to shutter it completely. OpenAI/M$ would probably give one of its lungs to have full access to the Twitter dataset. And I think he's already pilfered the in-house AI for use in Tesla AI and even Teslabot AI. PS: Telsabot is poised to be the iPhone of 2025... again, just my personal speculation, but I think it's difficult to overestimate the potential market-value of a humanoid robot that can just freely move around in human spaces like restaurants, bars, kitchens, bathrooms, loading platforms, and so on. It's not about "replacing jobs", it's about reducing risks, etc. We're still going need personnel to manage these contraptions and humans will produce more value doing that than whatever task the robot is now doing that a human used to do. I truly do not understand all the Chicken Little hand-wringing... </rambling>

:shrugging: Up to you... just happens to be the guy that Musk is saying "Go. F. Yourself" to...

Show us on this doll where Musk touched you... I think Iger/et. al. have made their own bed and can damn well sleep in it...

:shrugging: Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If Milei had prior political experience, then the mantra from the anti-Milei worry-warts would be that he has XYZ associations with shady characters and 99.9% of his official colleagues are not libertarian, etc. etc. etc. He can't win for losing, with you guys. So who cares what points you raise, if things had been the other way, you would have made the opposite point and cited it as a slam-dunk argument that obviously Milei is just a big stinky liar and all those nasty things he's said about shit socialist libtards and the proven historical dangers of socialism are just "controlled-opp".

This is the exact same things that the Left was screeching when Trump met with Un and others that they had designated as geopolitical unpersons. I have no idea why he's meeting with Clinton, but rubbing shoulders with bad characters is part of the job for any President, especially in Corrupcion Central: South America. Have you considered the possibility that Clinton may be the one begging for this meeting? Or maybe he's being forced? Folks really need to expand beyond the Left-Right paradigm. It never really made sense but in Clown World, you have to be insane to keep believing in Left-Right. The only real political dichotomy is slavery-vs-freedom. Everything else is a distraction. PS: Keep in mind that sick Willy is slick Willy... of all the ex-POTUS's, he's probably the smartest and the most likely to betray The Club when it comes down to a choice between them, or his own skin. That certain people are only out for #1 can actually be a virtue in the sense that it makes them more predictable and doing a deal with them is more likely to hold up than with others who always think they're the smartest person in the room and they're going to figure out a sneaky way to rip you off...
