re: UN faces total financial collapse, a result of non-payment of dues by member states
Posted by trinidadtiger on 3/2/26 at 5:14 pm to Ailsa
I love how the UN organizations dont "sponsor" FIFA teams. They have partnered with their youth leagues and out of the goodness of their hearts the teams emblazon logos on their jerseys.
Translation, they get box seats to all the matches while squandering money.
This organization is such a waste of time.
Get rid of US membership and get them the fck out of New York City.

off topic but training related.....
A some decades back the Japanese opened sumo wrestling to the outside world. In a short number of years Mongols had made tremendous progress. The Japanese studied this, they ate the same foods, trained the same way, their genetics were similar, but they had uncanny balance.
Mongols since the days of the Khans and the invention of the compound bow, have learned to ride before they can walk, with high horned saddles front and back so their hands were free to shoot arrows. Mongols still ride this way, full gallop, balancing themselves while using their legs alone to guide the horse.....very similar to the squatting position when trying to throw an opponent in sumo.
Perhaps a sabbatical to the steppes would help our offensive line :cheers:

Thats gonna sting.
In addition, Ukraine nonsense stops and now the world can focus on trading and Trump style deals with chini.
Also, Xi has learned all his military equipment is, how the chini say it "cheap no good, and good no cheap".

Did you ever ponder about the release of the terrorists from Guantanamo Bay. With alarming regularity, months later, we would blow them up along with a horde of cohorts somewhere half a world away......I wonder how we found them???????????

He is supposed to be a figurehead, thats why he is doing such a good job.
The Sec of War has to be removed from active duty for five years. The reason for this is because he is supposed to be a bridge between the military and the political aspect of the military.
He is supposed to speak and execute the overall strategy of the military, funding, recruiting, organizational structure, weapons development, etc. Which he has done an excellent job.
The other piece, give credit to the troops when it goes right, and take the shat when it goes wrong, which he has also done an excellent job.
Lloyd Austin on the other hand was a figurehead in every negative dei sense of the word, and an embarrassment to my alma mater.

It was someone on Pete's staff who purposely did it to damage Pete (you see some on here still believe the nonsense, like AU auditor).
Funny, when they caught the guy, here was his excuse. He said he meant to add some lower level guy who would have never been included in such a high level meeting. Know why he mentioned him? Because he said he had the same initials as the reporter and added him by mistake. Then went on to say he has 500 contacts saved....all by initials. Yeah right. Just comical.

I was being facetious. The point is, you bid a service, they provide it or they dont. They arent being altruistic, they want to control something after thay have sold it, thats nonsense.
The Trump admin did want to partner with them......til they decided to set the rules, so you move on to the next player.

Another note to add is that OpenAI is floundering and cash-strapped--they are desperate. This could be the move Pete needs to get his way, because OpenAI cannot afford to lose ANY deal so they will bend the knee at any request.
Yesterday they announced 110 bilion in additional funding, Im not certain that would be considered cash strapped and floundering.
And the biggest backer.....Amazon who had been big on Anthropic. Sounds like Amazon thinks both horses can run. Would they do this if Anthropic was so superior?

What the heck are you guys even talking about? The govt asked for a service and Anthropic said we will provide it as long as we control it. What kind of bullshite is that? Do you buy a car and Ford says you can only drive it where I tell you?
You seriously want a very woke company controlling our US military?

In my opinion there is not enough concern.
Government wants to know the full extent of a potential enemy tool. We can't wait for stuff to hit the fan then figure it out. AI will be far advanced in 5 years
Bingo!
The B29 took years to develop and was designed under the premise that Europe would no longer be free and we would have to launch planes from the US.
It took years to develop the atomic bombs, because that is what they were two different types of tech chased at the same time: uranium and plutonium.
And at the end of the war Eisenhower "let" Russia take Berlin to "save" American lives. Thats the good reason. The real reason, lets focus our attention on finding this Wernher Von Braun character, this missile technology might lead to something.

So in a nutshell you guys think its better for Anthropic, woke Anthropic, to decide how to defend the United States, not our government?
Bold move Cotton, lets just leave it up to them, make it open source, Im sure the chinese will appreciate our benevolence.
And what is this surveillance nonsense????? Can you guys not understand the govt has been spying on you since the 1940s? Heck because of America's obsession with tic toc and temu the chinese probably know more about you than your own government.

That is what they want you to believe. These guys stack money hand over fist and while they can be greedy, they know their products have enough overlap to destroy one another. It’s technology’s version of M.A.D. Hence my analogy to Apple, Microsoft and Linux. They all serve a purpose, but anyone one of them can serve any purpose. They’ve come to backroom agreements to divide and conquer the market. AI isn’t any different to any other product, consumed by the masses or consumed by the government.
Another analogy - Raytheon, Lockheed, Northrop - all can achieve the same thing, but they also don’t seem to want to. There is no explanation other than controlled diversification within the same market. They make enough money, hand over fist, to justify it.
Computer companies have backroom agreements? VisiCalc, AOL, Fairchild semiconductor would all like to have a discussion.........
Defense contractors are not a fair analogy, they are an oligarchy with a handful of customers. AI has a broad range of customers and consumers across all sectors. Its apples to oranges.

Why do you need a charter reform commission, and a controller division as well.
Unless you are admitting the mayor's office is corrupt and needs oversight.
In which case how would one assume the reform commission is not corrupt itself?
Its akin to congress passing the bill to make it illegal for the already illegal theft of medicare by the state of California with an unlawful tax.......they just bumped up the tax and put it in this year's budget anyway.
I sense some strongly worded letters forthcoming.
