It’s an interesting contrast that you claim that the USA does not equate to its current political situation, whereas conversely the EU is ‘rotting’ from the inside. Do you think this is a balanced and reasonable claim?
Maybe. I would contend that wealth accumulation over the long term is a function of the strength of local institutions e.g educational, judiciary etc. This is effectively the thesis of ‘Why nations fail’. Europes relative decline will only continue if the institutions of the US (and others) continue to be robust and healthy. I am not sure if this can be relied on into the future.
Thinking ‘God I wish these people would die’ could increase its propensity to kill all people, even if that propensity is still vanishingly small almost all of the time.
A lot of people are walking around with crazy thoughts. Some of them harm.
Nah, its all pattern matching. This is how automated theorem provers like Isabelle are built, applying operations to lemmas/expressions to reach proofs.
I am really keen on plugging into Age of Empires 2 - although practically I think we need a couple of years of improvements before LLMs would be smart/fast enough to react to the game in realtime. Currently they can't react fast enough - although specially trained networks could be viable.
This is our earlier work. Since May we've made it really easy for the community to build their own agents to play the game: you can now hook up your terminal to get Claude Code to play the game.
