> covertly disrupt and sabotage foreign technology programs
The more noble path is to simply make better technology but sounds like they want to knee cap them and though not named the prime target is likely China - This agency should be called the Tonya Harding Agency.

A 1975 humorous dystopian movie before they were popular... yet that ending: The One Line That Made The Author Hate His Own Movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I found this video on changes in the front line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... After 2023 you really have to stare hard to catch any changes in that line.

How about a better society by having the massive productivity increase of robots and AI distributed to everyone instead of just the capital owners? Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

At least that's what this New Scientist video says: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Which brings up an interesting experiment: hook up some of the microtubules to an LLM

Yes, that Nuland who was caught on the phone giving the OK for Ukraine's new leader after the Maidan coup. Ukraine segment is at the end of debate: Mearsheimer & Walt vs Pompeo & Nuland: Explosive Debate on Foreign Wars https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The USA is the real master of these 'influence' operations (not to mention election meddling, coups and assassination) the number of right-wing election winners in South America is astonishing with Brazil likely next in line https://www.theguardian.com/wo... and before that was Columbia:

>This sort of thing is very cool. But it also is part of a trend that may make it much harder to train young mathematicians or get them to exist at all.
There is already precedent of what may happen from the Go Community: When AI Wins, Do Humans Lose? The Go Community's Quiet Revolution

Rather than reject AI, players embraced it. Top professionals began studying AlphaGo’s moves, which were at once alien and brilliant. Patterns once dismissed as inefficient—like playing near the edge early or leaving groups unsettled—were reevaluated. The AI didn’t just win; it redefined what winning looked like. Human players didn’t disappear. They evolved, integrating AI insights into their training while preserving the artistry and psychological depth that machines can’t replicate.

When NAZA hits theaters (TBH doubt many theaters will show it)

If Bolsonaro2 gets elected you can kiss the Amazon rainforest goodbye as he'll finish the job Bolsonaro1 started. Once the rainforest rain cycle goes it does not come back. And who really wants him elected?

When benevolent super intelligent AI arrives, it can commandeer these weapons to put an end to the tragedy of offensive realism (Mearsheimer’s theory) which says that wars will never end unless some higher power comes along to put an end to it: https://www.genolve.com/design...

If this pisses you off you can choose not to go to there OR you can choose another economic system - or at least *threaten* to choose one, the one that absolutely scares them the most: The Future Has to Be Made: A Masterclass On Marxism, Anarchism, and Revolution w/ Garrett Halas https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
This video answers all the most common objections to Marxism, e.g. doesn't it always fail?

The US seizing of Venezuela oil and a failed attempt to seize Iran oil is because the US petrodollar must be maintained to fund deficit spending, the rising treasury yields indicate that the easy money days are coming to an end. On the flip side China, the worlds largest greenhouse gas emitter, has enormous incentive to become petro independent. China's green transition has insulated them from the oil shock and provided even more motivation to continue the transition, which also benefits the whole planet as their low-cost technology can be resold elsewhere.

Hopefully Mr. Newberger picks up this one, in case you missed it here's the Space Force parody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Something not making sense given

The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false.” But it also “almost started a war,” the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.

Then even if a human analyst concluded it was nuclear materials why would you risk it? You'd carefully watch the ship unload with spy satellites.
