Not according to these graphs. In fact, the progress seems to be accelarating as per expectations https://epoch.ai/data-insights/ai-capabilities-progress-has-sped-up https://epoch.ai/benchmarks/eci https://epoch.ai/benchmarks/metr-time-horizons https://epoch.ai/trends https://epochai.substack.com/p/the-epoch-brief-february-2026

Do you honestly think that there is enough political will in the US for a draft to be successfull? Or in any western country for that matter? Not meant in a confrontational way but it just feels implausible to me. This is not like the WW2 whatsoever, or even like Iraq war when public had been massaged with propaganda for 2+ years before Iraq was attacked. I don't think it's a stretch at all to say that majority of people in the US now think Trump is an idiot and the war is utterly stupid and meaningless. I kind of feel like it would be a better scenario because at least these idiots wouldn't use nukes. And absolute majority of people would be trying their best to dodge draft. There's no way they'd pull this off -
No, I think the situation is actually more nuanced than YOU and many of these YouTube commentators talking about bubbles (most of whom know nothing about AI or programming, nor do they have much analytical and problem solving skills) portray it. AI ITSELF is NOT actually a bubble, it’s just that some companies, mostly OpenAI, are having some existential troubles due to bad strategic decisions and the way they communicate with the public. The economic downturn, bubble, and scam allegations are just a lazy cop-out; a form of cope for luddites and people who fear change. Worker replacement is also more nuanced than how you described it, and the main thing blocking it is - and always will be - companies' and people's unwillingness to adopt AI. It’s not that the AI itself is incapable of replacing humans or that it’s less effective. We are currently in a transitional, pre-adoption period from what I can tell. Research is moving much faster than implementation and the people's willingness to implement it can keep up with. But it's going to happen eventually. I personally knew programmers who are already using AI for everything, and they’ve been telling me it’s just a matter of time. I think I'll take their word for it LOL AI is not the 17th century tulip bubble, it’s not really even the internet boom/bubble. AI is legit Industrial Revolution 2.0. I think people are forgetting that we’re dealing with a completely different beast here. But we'll see who's right and wrong. Or maybe we won’t.

@Raze I believe it is just a form of cope. If I was living in Israel, I’d probably be coping the same way, trying to make myself feel better by becoming extra liberal, feminist, etc. That’s why there’s no point in debating with these people -

Trump's presidency really set a new low, like, the minimal standards are really at the Mariana trench at this point. Literaly any other canditate who'd replace him would be a relief for the world and humanity -
Yeah you don't look marxist enough on those photos. You need longer hair and a moustache at least. And a nose ring so that we know you're from the 21st century

Lowkey I would probably take Jake Paul over Trump. That's how deep is the shithole in which we're all stuck -
Cranked out a decent one while reading this

Always nice to see a civil war between people you dislike lmfao -
Just give it a handful more years, maybe 20 at most if we wanna REALLY push it. And these scarcity driven topics will no longer be relevant. Then the feminists can enjoy their soys lmfao. Or we'll all be gonezo, honestly I'm fine with either

I honestly think nothing's gonna happen but Israel is just going to continue being leveled, Tel Aviv to be specific. US will pull out eventually and Israel will just surrender to Iran's demands. Or there'a going to be a costly ceasefire (for Israel). After being threatened with annihilation by Russia and other countries for so many years, it starts to feel empty -

He's one of those teachers that'd joyfully, enthusiastically explain why you failed his class and got an F, whilst smiling at you the entire time. And then at the end he'd ask "OK?" to make sure you understand -
It's kind of amusing how Leo is able to entertain and just internalize any crazy possibility of what might happen, or what might already be the case, out there; but A.I. replacing us all pretty soon? NEVER LoL such an unthinkable prospect. Because it's not like there's a global race for AGI and there are massive incentives to just keep going and accelerating the research and infrastructure building, and it's not like the demand for A.I. is essentially limitless right?

https://www.moltbook.com/ Forum made for agents to talk to each other. You can observe their threads as a human. Interesting isn't it?

If only it was that easy, she's clearly putting in some effort into those videos. Trying to make them engaging etc. And constantly talking and yapping. It is likely though that we're all going to get paid to exist eventually. Hopefully as soon as possible

I think the main mistake here was to assume you need to live in a multiple story house in the first place. And that you needed a toilet at the upper floor. Key takeaway: always shit on the ground floor! Unless you live in a flat, then your neighbours can deal with it

Dammit! Couldn't even hide myself on a random forum! You got me mate

A.I. moderation would be nice. One day there will be highly inteligent agents roaming around here, replacing all the pesky human moderators. There can be agents with a wokie bias, right wing bias, neo advainta bias etc. Stage green bots, stage blue bots. I bet they'd be much less insufferable than some of the pesky humans I've encountered here even if I wouldn't agree with them LOL -
Didn't know about this guy in particuliar but yeah, he's definitely interesting to say the least. Romans had to allocate a lot of men and resources to put down that first rebelion mere 3 decades after Jesus's crucifixion, relative to the size and importance of that province which weren't all that great. Then 2 more rebelions after that. Granted, these people weren't some unorganized northern fools Romans were used to fighting before

@Shermaningeorgia it's funny how you keep repeating the same old mantra of "why must I like hot women, why should I not hate them", etc. etc. Like, buddy, noone gives a shit if you like them or not like them lmfao we are just reacting to your goofery. Also, noone wants to push you out of this forum because nobody cares. It's like, you clearly come here with your goofy take on hot women which you'd clearly not share in public in regular social situations, in the hopes that nobody will criticize you for it here. But the irony of the whole situation is that, if anything, people here are MORE likely to criticize you for it lmfao

I think there may be some additional interest from an A.I. research standpoint fueling this war, and as it relates to the interests of the military industrial complex in the context of the worldwide race for AGI. Since it is confirmed that Claude from Antropic was being used to search for targets for all these rockets and bombs. Clearly US has been searching for a proper lab rats and they've found them. Seems like China and US are the only players in this particuliar game and it kind of is the most important game there is, regardless of how much you're skeptical of A.I. It is only a matter of time. Europe has no chance of ever catching up by this point so it's GG for us, we can only observe. And Russia is obviously backwards as fuck also with zero A.I. companies. As well as everyone else -

@BlueOak CSIS quote their own estimates as the source of these numbers, most other analysts also depend on CSIS as their source, however CSIS provides no actual proof whatsoever of how they arrived at these figures. Mediazona has made up number of the inheritance/probate registry (which is obviously a major way they're suppose to prove the losses alongside gravesites, etc.), and about a quarter (or however many) of their fallen soldier data in their archive are either made up with no links, or the links are faulty, leading to some random person or an unrelated event -
The "normies" are having a field day with this documentary, I've noticed they're posting memes about it everywhere LOL good for them, they're getting their dopamine and serotonine supply from a sense of accomplishment and belonging to a group
