AI progress has not hit its limit—far from it. According to @nathanbenaich of @stateof_ai and @airstreet: “These are the worst AI systems we’ll ever see. As talent from every field floods in, today’s models will look primitive by comparison.”

When DeepSeek’s R1 model dropped, Wall Street got it wrong. They thought it cost just $5 million to train, but it was MUCH more expensive than that. The real cost in AI isn’t the final model—it's everything else that goes into it.

As Russia weakens, Iran fades, and the U.S. steps back from the region the opportunities (and threats) to Turkey multiply. Its geography and resources put it at the center of the new security order - it is the successor to the Ottoman empire, and it is rising again.

How many Israelis actually want to expel Palestinians from Gaza? @KamranBokhari says hardliners on Israel’s far right do—but they’re a minority. The military knows that mass expulsions would be catastrophic, military rule would cost billions, and Egypt refuses to take refugees.

Would normalization of relations with the Saudis have come without Oct 7th? @KamranBokhari says no. Iran and its proxies would have remained a thorn in the side of regional stability. In that sense, Israel’s confrontation was inevitable. The underlying threats had to addressed.

Paul Kingsnorth: Culture once rested on people, place, prayer & the past. Now it’s been replaced by science, self, sex & the screen. Each offers power - but together they leave us more disconnected than ever.

A US–China war isn’t inevitable—but it could be catastrophic. WWI killed millions, WWII tens of millions. We don't want a WWIII with hundreds of millions of casualties and Taiwan as its flashpoint. The priority must be avoiding conflict.

The West was born out of Christendom and reshaped by the Enlightenment. Its moral core was Christian, while science and reason governed its epistemology. Both are now collapsing - leaving the West rudderless and without a moral grounding on which to judge right and wrong.

A “Chinese century” would mean global censorship, Party dominance, and a world of engineered societies. @danwwang argues that if America wants to avoid this future, it must rebuild state capacity and answer its citizens’ needs for a better life.

For centuries, China's elites taught the Chinese people that China is the civilized state and the rest of the world are barbarians. After the “century of humiliation,” many believe that China is destined to reclaim its place at the center of global trade, tech, and culture.

I’m joined on @HiddenForcesPod by @danwwang, author of Breakneck: China’s Quest to Engineer the Future, to discuss his framework that compares the United States and China by state capacity and their propensity to build. https://t.co/dMKnbVuqq0

Dan Wang puts forward a pioneering new framework that compares the U.S. and China not along ideological lines, but by state capacity and China’s quest to engineer the future.

China’s engineering drive serves Xi and the CCP's vision for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the restoration of China's rightful place at the center of the world economy. This means self-sufficiency, dominance in Asia, and expecting others to kowtow to Beijing.
