When I was 9 My parents took me to toys-r-us to get a GI Joe. I picked the black one which really irritated them “but ur white”?! Yea, no shit.

    nailed it honestly. the “corporations are the only legit authority” thing explains literally every conservative policy position if you squint. laws = annoying suggestion, CEO decision = gospel. and yeah the code word rotation is real, swap in whatever scares the base that week, meaning stays the same: “person who wants public goods to exist.” good breakdown

    They act like “shoplifting is up” is some mystery of human nature and not literally the free market doing exactly what it’s designed to do. Squeeze wages, jack prices, gut every safety net you can find, then act shocked pikachu face when people start taking matters into their own hands. This ain’t a morality crisis it’s a pricing signal. Crime stats are just capitalism’s blooper reel at this point.

    Kratsios drops an accusation with zero evidence and every outlet runs it as fact. Meanwhile the actual K3 weights aren’t public for another five days, so nobody outside Moonshot can check any of this yet.

    Sure, the distillation claim might be real, Moonshot’s had that stink on them since February and a model that literally says “I’m Claude” is a bad look. But notice the “free and fair AI development” line coming from the same government that yanked Fable offline under export controls last month. This was never about fairness. It’s about keeping the compute and IP moat intact for three US companies. “Theft” is just the word capital uses when someone else eats its rent.

    Doesn’t make Beijing the good guy either.
