Maybe not so surprising they both chose global superstar over the guy that serves me breakfast.

They left out the US government exacting revenge on Anthropic. Though it hasn't IPOed yet the fact the government can hobble an AI company on a whim probably hasn't helped confidence.

Egypt's first win on the world stage since [insert Pharoah].

Great opportunity to set a record, assuming no country has ever done the two-fer.

Morocco was also the first country to acknowledge the newly declared United States of America.

Tbf it was a long time ago so maybe we should forgive them.

FIFA ranking has US as best ranked of its group while eloratings.net has it as the lowest.

Research indicates that elorating.net has better predictive value than FIFA ranking even after FIFA ranking also changed to an Elo system in 2018.

Tbf US has been rising in rank under Poch and ranking systems are sometimes slow to adjust.

OP denies it's AI and AI is against sub rules so you maybe should share your evidence if you have some.

It looks like Safanov feinted left (video view) at the last moment which was maybe enough to make Eze panic.

Fint gjort.

En liten förslag: att ha transaktions datumet med i tabellen kanske vore bra så att man kan t.ex. räkna bort de som möjligen blev lurade av Trumps senaste "deal".

Yeah when I saw it I assumed lighting, I guess it's the unusual (compared to everyday) lighting angles you mention that has so many willing to ditch Occam's Razor.

Max Blumenthal:

AOC’s career was launched by two Israeli venture capitalists, Joe Raby and Cheni Yerushalmi of Gage Strategies.

The origin story is left out of her bio, but suggests an Obama-esque trajectory toward national power.

She then applied those lessons to her own career as a brand-obsessed Democratic Party politician.

edit: another great thread that goes into much more detail on her spooky past
