The best part about these Afrikaner refugees is that they can pop over back home for a braai.
Now what other refugee do you know who can head home for a weekend barbeque?
America got PLAYED. But then again, these are the same people who sided with Israel during Apartheid, I'm not shocked if they start claiming land in Texas and saying they're natives of the soil

德国总理默茨发表首份政府声明：将提升国防能力全力发展经济
德国总理默茨在德国联邦议院发表他就任总理以来的首次讲话并发表首份政府声明。默茨表示，在内政问题上，他坚信德国能够“凭借自身力量”克服各种挑战。但默茨同时表示，在许多方面，政策的改变都是必要的，需要“在许多领域重新思考并重新确定优先事项”。关于乌克兰问题，默茨承诺将继续向乌克兰提供支持。同时默茨也表示，他将“尽一切努力继续实现欧洲和美国之间在乌克兰问题上最大程度的团结”。关于国防问题，默茨宣布将进一步提升德国的国防能力。他表示，德国联邦国防军应该成为“欧洲最强大的常规军队”，联邦政府将为此提供一切必要的资源。关于经济问题，默茨表示，德国的经济框架已不再具有竞争力，他表示将竭尽全力，让德国经济重回增长轨道。此外，默茨还提到，也需要谨慎对待“债务刹车”问题。在政府声明中，默茨视中国为德国和欧盟应对全球挑战和经济领域的重要合作伙伴。

德总理会见联合国秘书长双方就加沙局势等议题发表看法
当地时间14日，德国总理默茨会见了到访的联合国秘书长古特雷斯，双方在会后共同会见了记者。古特雷斯表示，在分歧日益扩大、不信任日益加剧的世界中，德国的领导力和声音是不可或缺的。默茨再次呼吁以色列确保向加沙地带巴勒斯坦民众提供物资，并谨慎采取军事行动。他表示，其政府将把对联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处（近东救济工程处）的进一步资助与改革挂钩。关于乌克兰问题，古特雷斯表示联合国支持俄乌冲突的公正和平解决。

近期，险资通过多种方式持续加大权益投资力度。业内人士预计，险企将继续加大权益投资，提升投资弹性，同时，随着更多险资机构积极争取长期股票投资试点，上市公司市值波动对当期利润表的影响有望减小，逐步达到“长期资金入市+平滑利润表波动”的平衡。整体来看，险资有望逐步增加对中证A500指数（侧重科技和新兴产业龙头）成分股的配置。

Eliezer and I wrote a book: If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies
Published on May 14, 2025 7:00 PM GMTEliezer and I wrote a book. It’s titled If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies. Unlike a lot of other writing either of us have done, it’s being professionally published. It’s hitting shelves on September 16th.
It’s a concise (~60k word) book aimed at a broad audience. It’s been well-received by people who received advance copies, with some endorsements including:
The most important book I've read for years: I want to bring it to every political and corporate leader in the world and stand over them until they've read it. Yudkowsky and Soares, who have studied AI and its possible trajectories for decades, sound a loud trumpet call to humanity to awaken us as we sleepwalk into disaster.
- Stephen Fry, actor, broadcaster, and writer
If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies may prove to be the most important book of our time. Yudkowsky and Soares believe we are nowhere near ready to make the transition to superintelligence safely, leaving us on the fast track to extinction. Through the use of parables and crystal-clear explainers, they convey their reasoning, in an urgent plea for us to save ourselves while we still can.
- Tim Urban, co-founder, Wait But Why
This is the best no-nonsense, simple explanation of the AI risk problem I've ever read.
- Yishan Wong, former CEO of Reddit
Lots of people are alarmed about AI, and many of them are worried about sounding alarmist. With our book, we’re trying to break that logjam, and bring this conversation into the mainstream.
This is our big push to get the world onto a different track. We’ve been working on it for over a year. The time feels ripe to me. I don’t know how many more chances we’ll get. MIRI’s dedicating a lot of resources towards making this push go well. If you share any of my hope, I’d be honored by you doing whatever you can to help the book make a huge splash, once it hits shelves.
One thing that our publishers tell us would help is preorders. Preorders count towards first-week sales, which determine a book’s ranking on the best-seller list, which has a big effect on how many people read it. And, inconveniently, early pre-orders affect the number of copies that get printed, which affects how much stock publishers and retailers wind up having on hand, which affects how much they promote the book and display it prominently. So preorders are valuable,
[1] and they’re especially valuable before the first print (mid-June) and the second print (mid-July). We’re told that 10,000 pre-orders constitutes a good chance of being on the best-seller list (depending on the competition), and 20,000 would be a big deal. Those numbers seem to me like they’re inside the range of possibility, and they’re small enough that each individual preorder makes a difference.
If you’ve been putting off sharing your views on AI with your friends and family, this summer might be a good time for it. Especially if your friends and family are the sort of people who’d pre-order a book in June even if it won’t hit shelves until September.
Another thing that I expect to help is discussing the book once it comes out, to help generate buzz that helps increase the impact. Especially if you have a social media platform. If you’ve got a big or interesting platform, I’d be happy to coordinate about what timings are most impactful (according to the publicists) and perhaps even provide an advance copy (if you want to have content queued up), though we can't offer that to everyone.
Some of you have famous friends that might provide endorsements to match or exceed the ones above. Extra endorsements would be especially valuable if they come in before May 30, in which case they could be printed in or on the book; but they’re still valuable later for use on the website and in promotional material. If you have an idea, I invite you to DM me and we might be able to share an advance copy with your contact.
(And, of course, maybe you don’t share my hope that this book can bring the conversation to the mainstream, or are reserving judgement until you’ve read the dang thing. To state the obvious, that’d make sense too.)
I’ve been positively surprised by the reception the book has gotten thus far. The content won’t come as a shock to folks who have read or listened to a bunch of what Eliezer and I have to say, but it does contain some new articulations of our arguments, that I think are better articulations than we’ve ever managed before. For example, Rob Bensinger (of MIRI) read a draft and said:
I've spent years trying to make these same arguments and I was frequently floored while reading the book at how much better you did at arguing for things I've been struggling to communicate this whole time. XD YOU SOLVED THE PROBLEM. This is how we should be making these arguments!
Other MIRI staff report that the book helped them fit the whole argument in their head better, or that it made sharp some intuitions they had that were previously vague. So you might get something out of it even if you’ve been around a while. And you might consider that this book really does have a chance of blowing the Overton window wide open.
As Rob said in the MIRI newsletter recently:
the two proximate reasons humanity is currently racing to destroy itself with AI are that (1) not enough people are aware of the danger, and (2) some of the people aware of the danger are worried about looking silly by speaking out about it.
These are completely insane reasons for the human experiment to end.
[...] If public figures woke up tomorrow and just started talking about this issue, that would make it stop feeling like an issue that has to be discussed in hushed tones.
That’s what we’re going for. And seeing the reception of early drafts, I have a glimmer of hope. Perhaps humanity can yet jolt into action and change our course before it’s too late. If you, too, see that glimmer of hope, I’d be honored by your aid.
Also we have a stellar website made by LessWrong’s very own Oliver Habryka, where you can preorder the book today: https://ifanyonebuildsit.com/?ref=nslmay
.
Bulk preorders don’t count, and in fact hurt. The people who compile bestseller lists distinguish and discount bulk preorders.
