The author wrote that scaling AI swarms could reveal which social phenomena were specific to humans and which were not, and said studying them could offer at least as much insight for social science as research into animal sociality.

The author described China’s Lens Technology as the world’s premier touchscreen manufacturer and said its founder and CEO was the world’s richest self-made female billionaire. The author added that she was expanding the company into robotics, AI chips and other new industries, and directed readers to a new brief from Bismarck Analysis. https://t.co/aMel7FhQey #Tecnología #Innovación #Empresas #CN
The author said they would give a talk in San Francisco on Sunday evening for Palladium Magazine about why civilizations collapse and why today’s high-technology civilization might be uniquely vulnerable. They added that tickets were limited. https://t.co/CQwn0plgHV #SanFrancisco #Civilization #Technology #US
The author wrote that China made the world’s best cars in 2026, and said people should reconsider assumptions about Japan and Germany and recognise that the same could now be true of China as a rising power. #CocheChino #InnovaciónAutomotriz #IndustriaAutomotriz #CN #JP #DE
The author said a new Terminator film with a suitable director would probably gross $2 billion worldwide, damage the AI industry and potentially push the global economy into recession.
The author wrote that using nuclear reactors at sea could ease a major obstacle to deploying nuclear power: fears among local residents and regulators of catastrophic meltdowns. They also said nuclear-powered ships could significantly reduce fuel costs.
The author said nuclear-powered ships had existed for decades and wrote that companies in Russia, China, Europe and the U.S. were pursuing designs for nuclear-powered cargo ships and floating nuclear plants that could be towed or rented. https://t.co/7hCik9yGai #NuclearEnergy #ShippingIndustry #Innovation #RU #CN #EU #US
The author wrote that nuclear reactors had been used at sea for as long as they had been used on land, and said major powers were revisiting their use to propel cargo ships and provide mobile offshore power. They described marine nuclear energy as an economically promising opportunity and pointed readers to a new brief from Bismarck Analysis.
The author argued that faster AI development made human factors more consequential, not less, and said AI amplified the speed, energy and variability of economics, politics and culture rather than bypassing them.
The author wrote that AI forecasting had encountered clear limits, particularly in modelling societies that differed from one’s own, such as China, which they described as a challenge for the rationalist approach. #AI #Forecasting #Society #CN
The author wrote that personal chatbots had become significant social and emotional companions for everyone and asked what that meant for people. They also pointed readers to a piece about artificial intelligence’s role and limits in socialisation and personal development.
The author wrote that AI could bring significant benefits but would not resolve society’s most extreme impulses and dysfunctions, and warned it could instead reinforce them and worsen certain problems.
The post said small modular reactors, designed with mass-producible parts, were intended to help address cost overruns and delays at US nuclear plants, but had not fully fulfilled that aim. It added that the reactors were now attracting new demand from AI and directed readers to a new Bismarck Analysis brief. https://t.co/jhrFz3MNAp #NuclearEnergy #SmallModularReactors #AI #US
"What makes us different from China?" currently has answers that are dangerously close to making America dysfunctional for a thousand years. #America #China #Dysfunction #CN #US
Maybe the miracle weapon works. A deus ex machina. But currently everyone in power is desperate for it to work and that shows, despite breathless claims otherwise, that the U.S. and the West weren't doing very well in recent years until the unearned miracle arrived. #DeusExMachina #MiracleWeapon #PowerDynamics #US #West
But that hardly appears to be the limit to how far optics could increase the world's computing power. Optical systems could replace electrical networking switches, the backbone of matrix multiplication for AI models, and someday perhaps even electrical computation itself. https://t.co/drLaOYV8wa #Optics #ComputingPower #AI #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
We compute with electricity. Why not with light? Light has many advantages for data transmission and perhaps even computation. The semiconductor industry is vigorously pursuing new types of optical computing components for AI.

The same technological advances behind aerial drones are now making ground drones, wheeled or tracked, a staple of the modern battlefield for both resupply and combat. The war in Ukraine is ground zero. Robot warfare is already here. Read the @bismarckanlys Brief (link below): https://t.co/Yz4Q99vjoN #DroneWarfare #UkraineWar #MilitaryTechnology #UA
Gain of function demonstrated it is easy to make new plagues. The bio profession wants to pretend it doesn't and keep doing gain of function research with government health money. They also want to pretend AI cannot replace key aspects of their job, which it obviously can. #GainOfFunction #PublicHealth #AIInMedicine #Nospecificcountrycodescanbederivedfromthetweetprovided.
