I’d argue the will to power is often misunderstood. It means power over oneself — self-discipline — not really power over others.Also: Nietzscheanism is useful as a defense against Bolshevism. But that’s aimed outside the tribe. Within the tribe you should be cooperative, not Nietzschean.War for the West (@War4theWest):@balajis Counter-Nietzschean thought right here.So leadership isn't just about 'the will to power'? ...

If frontier AI models plateau, then on-device inference and open source models could catch all the way up.Great for consumers and developers. Amazing for getting intelligence too cheap to meter, for AI-enabled hardware, and for the garden of intelligent things.But bad for business models premised on continuing exponential AI capex spend…including the US economy itself.Michael Dempsey (@mhdempsey):the image on the left might be the most underappreciated chart in technology right now. https://t.co/RxtHlgaNIE ...

This is not the posture of a republic that just wanted to sit meekly behind its borders, as today’s American right often claims.Nor is it really a democracy, as the American left would have it.

It’s still formally neutral, but it’s neutral in name only. The economic and military benefits of being part of a scaled empire were too great.

It’s getting pulled into a declining empire, instead of benefiting from a rising one. Maybe it suffers less damage than its neighbors due to legacy neutrality, but it won’t be uns ...
