it has been known and done many times in open, what you're on about ?
So we have already reached the stage where we deny ever claiming otherwise.
What a future this is turning out to be. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Good lord, read Termination Shock by Neil Stephenson. Stratospheric aerosol injection is effective, but comes with severe risks, and can even be used as a strategic weapon (e.g. inject your sulphur over X and disrupt the monsoon in the Punjab, fucking their agriculture).
Careful now, that is dangerously close to admitting weather manipulation has been known about and possible for decades, and not merely a conspiracy.

You need to give some details and arguments on your extraordinary claim because what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
Easy - they are in hiding.
They are good enough that they have to actively hide in order that they are not killed, literally, in the cross fire their work has caused. This has been the situation for over a decade.
Consider how big the Indian software universe is and how utterly implausible it would be for them not to have any capacity. That would be the extraordinary claim.

India has neither the ability nor the desire to attack the US. The very idea is silly.
The country has its hands full enough coping with its state of quasi-chaos and belligerent nuclear-armed neighbors without taking on the worlds leading superpower for absolutely no reason at all.
> India has neither the ability nor the desire to attack the US.
Extraordinarily wrong on the first part.
Some countries have even outsourced some of their cyberattack capability to Indian companies in the past, and not for cost reasons.
if (big if) you trust the execution environment, which is apparently auditable, and if (big if) you trust the TEE merkle hash used to sign the response is computer based on the TEE as claimed (and not a malicious actor spoofing a TEE that lives within an evil environment) and also if you trust the inference engine (vllm / sglanf, what have you) then I guess you can be confident the system is private.
Lots of ifs there, though. I do trust Moxie in terms of execution though. Doesn’t seem like the type of person to take half measures.
> if (big if) you trust the execution environment, which is apparently auditable
This is the key question.
What makes it so strange is such an execution environment would have clear applications outside of AI usage.
One point that gets very little coverage is that fossil fuels are a limited resource. Once they used they are gone.
The materials for renewable energy are still in a usable form.
> One point that gets very little coverage is that fossil fuels are a limited resource
Every time someone uses the term “renewable” they are providing coverage to this notion.
It is deeply bizarre you can think otherwise.

The problem is the old man and his enablers have zero respect for the law, whereas the other team does (they are not above reproach but in this regard they are distinctly different).
This makes the fight unfair, as without law all we have is unbridled violence as a tool and that is a path to ruin for all.
> have zero respect for the law
They are simply enforcing a law that people have had every opportunity to democratically change in the decades since it just stopped being enforced properly, and yet they failed to secure a democratic mandate to do so.
Complaining from that position is far from being on a moral high ground.

Obama was "Deporter in chief"
You are just wrong.
America didn't even really have borders for most of it's existence, as the very idea of a Nation wasn't really a thing until into the 1800s.
We had a purposely pourous border with Mexico until relatively recently.
How many mexican immigrants do you happen to think live in Minneapolis?
While a pan-US national awareness is widely seen as emerging during the civil war the rest of what you are saying is disingenuous. Prior to that it was a selection of colonies etc. which very much had borders because skirmishes over taxation rights was a thing.
There was significantly more inter ethnic strife in the US pre WW2 than most people seem to appreciate, much of it relating to if encountered (by whatever means) people should be settled/assimilated/rejected. There were riots/protests of this type in major cities at least between the civil war and the 1930s, and state policy reflected this, such as with the Chinese exclusion act which would hardly have been possible without a border.
If you think 10x devs are unicorns consider how much harder it is to get someone 10x at the intersection of both domains. (Personally I have never met one). You are far better off with people that can work together across the bridge, but that requires actual mutual trust and respect, and we’re not able to do that.
