While advertising for literal scams. About 10% of Meta’s revenue is from literal scams.

This Jeffery Epstein stuff looks a lot like World Economic Forum more than anything, a circle jerk of the rich and elite.

Companies have already been SEOing LLMs for a few months now. There are companies who have a panel of participants who are willing to share their data, and this is then used to estimate what people might be searching on LLMs and now to optimise content so that it shows up on responses across LLMs.

Ads was the logical direction for LLMs and has always been the only pathway to any substantial revenue.

Hamas might be doing terrible things, but they are also fighting a disproportionate war, and it’s not like Israel is respecting any of the human rights conventions either.

And in Ukraine, the Ukrainian army is fighting for freedom from invaders and fighting a disproportionate war too, and are committing war crimes like torture of prisons or targeting of energy infrastructure just like Russia is doing.

War is always messy. To paint Hamas as exceptionally evil is unfair and probably an outcome of racial bias.

It’s only going to go up. Look at how revenues are increasing, it’s basically ad and PR money.

There is nuance to Ukraine Russia war too. Yes Russia is the obvious aggressor, and strengthened secession movements in eastern Ukraine through propaganda, but there were always some ethnically Russian people living there who felt they belong more with Russia.

They, along with the help of Russia were leading some kind of separatist movement and Ukraine bombed their own citizens to quel this issue. It’s hard to tell amidst all the propaganda on both sides, but there is definitely nuance here. Also not to mention Ukraine flirting with NATO membership was apparently a red line for Putin.

I was hoping we are about to enter Chinese imperialism once Trump runs the western hegemony to the ground.

The unravelling of US imperialism is an amazing outcome of the Trump presidency.
