Doesn't have to be NATO, it could be bilateral agreements, like Russia did with North Korea.

Are we seriously still, in the year 2024
I was a teenager in the 70's, and I agree, this is NOT the future I dreamed about.
X's most recent report, covering February to July 2024, showed that its user base in the EU fell once more to 105.9 million.
And these are datapoints they release themselves, 3rd party data points hint at bigger losses.
That can be the case, but IMO Terminator 2 was an amazing follow up, and it had 15 times bigger budget.
it takes over management of the planet
Novel Colossus from 1966 has exactly that.
I too was shocked and a bit offended that it was called a B movie. But the budget was a freaking measly $6.4 million.
That's peanuts even back in 1984.

Indeed they accomplished a lot, an all time classic movie. Some of my friends were a bit critical about the stop motion not being very good in their opinion. But I just thought the movie was amazing.
The Tesla model S came out in 2012. I just remember that when Musk made that tweet, I'd already identified Musk as a conman.
But I don't remember anything in particular that stood out as much before that tweet. Except he had already failed on his promise on FSD, with little to show it was even close. I also remember identifying him as an introvert narcissist. Which is kind of an oxymoron, but nonetheless describes his public social conduct.
If you are old, do you remember Lee Iacocca (Chrysler)? Or Jack Tramiel (Commodore)?
Those were stellar businessmen and CEOs, that were geniuses without being narcissistic sociopaths.
Those were true role models. 😀
it’s been like 4 years.
I think it's pretty obviously been more than that: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/12/03/media/elon-musk-testifies/index.html
On July 15, 2018, Musk tweeted “pedo guy” in reference to Vernon Unsworth
For the worlds richest man, and CEO of multiple companies to tweet like that, you'd have to be pretty far gone already.
Musk has probably "had issues" most of his life, but at this point he obviously lost control publicly, and was unable to contain it.
Musk is a spoiled brat who thinks his behavior has no consequences to him. This continues to be mostly true, so his behavior gets steadily worse, because he has no shame and no reason to believe he will be held accountable.
In public, TSMCdownplayed, opens new tab the comments, with its founder calling Gelsinger“a bit rude.” Privately, TSMC said it would no longer honor the discount, the sources said: about 40% off the $23,000, 3-nanometer wafers on which TSMC would print chips for Intel. Intel had to pay full price, shrinking its profit margin on the deal.
and give off vibes it was a charitable
WTF! I did no such thing, that's 100% on you to put that into it. I think they did it to discourage Intel from investing too heavily in their own production which would compete with TSMC.
Even if Intel aren’t the good guys
Again WTF? Where did any of that come from? They are businesses, their purpose is to make money!
You are being delusional.
If you can offer a 40% discount and still make profit
Maybe they didn't? Or at least maybe not much.
if you’re shilling this much for TSMC
What? How am I shilling for TSMC? And I'm 100% an AMD guy myself, I freaking stuck to AMD during the whole Buldozer shitty period, because I didn't want an Intel monopoly. And I bought AMD stock when they revealed Ryzen.
So I do NOT encourage a TSMC monopoly either.

I really hope the silence from allies is because we are waiting for the American election to be over.
All limitations on Ukraine need to be lifted, and USA has only supplied 10% of what they promised.
Ukraine has fought admirably, it's time we help them to end this. Not just enable them to draw it out indefinitely.
