Today, SpaceX permanently altered the balance of global economics, politics, and modern warfare.

12:30 AM TOMORROW MORNING, EST: Rocket Lab launching 100th space mission early on Nov. 14: Watch it live.

OPEN THREAD: Party on.

NEWS FROM 1945: NASA’s moon rocket was built under a former Nazi scientist who developed Hitler’s V-2 missiles. Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? That’s not my department, says Wernher von Braun.. (Says Tom Lehrer.)

Of course, I remember Freeman Dyson saying that the V-2 was seriously damaging to the Germans. It cost more to build than a bomber, was less accurate, and unlike a bomber wasn’t good for more than one mission.

XI’S GOTTA HAVE IT! The Great AI Con: The Nvidia Sex Scandal Isn’t a Sex Scandal — It’s a Chinese Psyop.

84% of Chinese people say they’re excited about AI. In America, it’s now just 38%.

This has all the telltale signs of not just a Chinese psyop, but a dedicated, multiyear plan to defeat America in the AI race.

Look at what’s happened in the past two years:

1. AI and data centers have been thoroughly (and, possibly, permanently) demonized in America. Especially after the midterms, very few politicians will approve new large-scale data centers.
2. The U.S. AI industry is currently being destabilized. “Someone” is spreading unsubstantiated rumors (and/or leaking classified information) about the private lives of top U.S. tech CEOs.
3. The “vast Chinese spying machine” continues to Hoover up our tech secrets.
4. The media keeps pushing anti-AI propaganda into the political discourse, even though it’s a 1% issue.
5. The Democrats in Congress are prioritizing AI slowdowns, guardrails, moratoriums, hearings, and regulations. (Reuters calls it a “flood of AI bills.”)

Everything China wanted is coming true!

The Jensen Huang/sexy Chinese spy story was fun. Call it a honeypot, a honeytrap, or anything you want.

But I seriously doubt that story is the real story. Too many coincidences. Too many pro-Chinese, anti-American outcomes in a row. Including outcomes FAR better than what you’d get from a one-off honeypot operation and ChiCom shell companies.

Sorry, but this isn’t a story about honeypots or sexy spies. It’s way bigger than that.

Given how the CCP intertwines itself with Chinese corporations, I’m not sure if I’d fully discard the honeypot aspect of the story just yet:

SPENCER PRATT: We need to start a doomsday panic scorecard.

Every time someone declares a civil war, or climate apocalypse, or nuclear armageddon & WW3 for the 9,000th time, it never comes to pass, but we just move on, so 5 months later they do it again, and people fall for it, again.

The apocalypse isn’t happening in your lifetime, folks. The real shit is some overpaid bureaucrat in your municipal water district is gonna get lazy with their emails, and your reservoir is gonna be empty when some other overpaid state park bureaucrat forgets to monitor a smoldering plant for an entire week, then your entire town burns up in a wildfire, your grandma burns alive and then 400 more people die from accelerated cancers from the toxic smoke.

Buying into these theatrical fantasies of global catastrophe only serves our corrupt government, distracting you from the true menace in your life. It’s so exhausting. I used to indulge in these catastrophic conspiracy theories, but I had to learn the hard way that it’s just plain old government incompetence that’s the biggest threat to your daily life.

Read the whole thing. Perhaps the reason why people who’ve grown up in the 1970s tune these sort of doomsday scenarios is that we’ve seen them repeated in various forms over and over again.

Besides, aren’t we all dead today? According to a 1960 study, overpopulation was going to end the world on Friday.
