Expectation: I need more deep learning engineers to train better models

Reality: You need prompt engineers and LLM Ops (not sure what to call it (?), post-LLM above-API infra, langchain & friends)

BRICS a Serious Problem for America
— James Hirsen (@thejimjams) April 4, 2023
The ramifications of the BRICS coalition are profound, not only for America's place on the international economic stage, but for the potential future of international relations.
https://t.co/P7AOkH4UAr
The American dollar has long enjoyed a prominent position in the world, one that has allowed the United States to retain its superpower status and to elevate the quality of life for her people. ........ Unfortunately, all of this preeminence and prosperity may be coming to a disturbingly unpleasant end. .......... The BRICS alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is a group of nations that has assembled together. A newly emerging goal of the alliance is to move away from the U.S. dollar and move toward the creation of a new global currency........ Speaking at a recent economic event in New Delhi, India, Russian Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Alexander Babakov urged India and Russia to form a financial relationship that would include the establishment of a new common currency. ........ “New Delhi, Moscow should institute a new economic association with a new shared currency, which could be a digital ruble or the Indian rupee,” Babakov said. ......... "New Delhi, Beijing and Moscow are the nations that now institute a multipolar world that is endorsed by the majority of governments” ........ Jim O’Neill, a British economist and a former chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, is recognized for having coined the acronym BRIC, which initially stood for Brazil, Russia, India, and China. He used the term to describe rapidly growing economies that he felt would eventually dominate the global economy....... When South Africa was added in 2010, the set of initials was altered to read as BRICS.......... The five BRICS nations have a combined area of 15,346,100 sq. miles (about 27% of the world's land surface), and an estimated total population of about 3.2 billion (approximately 42% of the global population). ......... In a paper that was published in the Global Policy journal in late March of 2023, O’Neill, urged the BRICS bloc to challenge the U.S; dollar’s dominance. He stated that “the U.S. dollar plays a far too dominant role in global finance.” ......... it is clear that the current BRICS nations are attempting to position themselves as an alternative model to the G7. ........ BRICS nations have refused to take part in any of the sanctions against Russia....... In 2014, with $50 billion in seed money, the BRICS nations launched the New Development Bank as an alternative to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. They additionally created a liquidity mechanism called the “Contingent Reserve Arrangement” to assist member states with payments. .......... The BRICS bank has brought in new member nations. In 2021, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, and Bangladesh became shareholders. ....... Worldwide interest from other nations in joining the BRICS group is on the rise. ........ the list of potential new BRICS members includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Algeria, Argentina, Mexico, and Nigeria. By brokering a peace deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran, China paved the way for both nations to join BRICS. ........ A multipolar economic order seems to be advancing quickly, which is expected to have serious implications for America. ........ A new global currency could make it even more difficult for the U.S. to enforce sanctions, which it uses regularly as an alternative to military action. ........ A global shift away from the U.S. dollar may lead to far less geopolitical power for the United States.
To avoid losing the trust of the American public, it is important that our justice system pursue Democrats and Republicans with equal vigor.

Whichever party most puts justice before nepotism is the one that deserves trust.
O’Neill Urges BRICS Bloc to Expand, Challenge Dollar’s Dominance Strict admission criteria needed: Ex-Goldman chief economist ..... Group should focus on climate finance, boosting trade, health ......... Jim O’Neill, the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chief economist who coined the acronym BRIC, said the bloc of nations that later adopted the name should expand and work to counter the dollar’s dominance. .......... called on the group to apply strict criteria to ensure the addition of any new members to its ranks helps further its aims and urged it to focus on climate finance, improving healthcare and boosting trade. ......... “The US dollar plays a far too dominant role in global finance,” he wrote. “Whenever the Federal Reserve Board has embarked on periods of monetary tightening, or the opposite, loosening, the consequences on the value of the dollar and the knock-on effects have been dramatic.” ............ If it expands to include other “emerging nations with persistent surpluses,” a globally fairer, multi-currency global system could emerge, O’Neill said. ....... the dollar’s dominance means the burden of dollar-denominated debt for other nations rises and falls with the exchange rate, destabilizing their own monetary policy, with the greenback’s movements ultimately playing a larger role than domestic decisions. ......... the economist cautions that the group should only admit countries that meet the original criteria of having large populations and sizable economies with significant potential. He disagrees with its decision to include South Africa, by far the smallest BRICS country. ......... “If the main goal of BRICS as a group is symbolism, which it often seems to be, then attracting other, especially large-population emerging countries is understandable,” he said. But if there is an economic purpose “the criterion for including new members needs to be focused” ......... The group’s aims should include gaining a stronger voice in global institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, O’Neill said. While BRICS accounts for 42% of the world’s population, its members have less than 15% of the voting rights in the two lenders ........ O’Neill said new members should have a population of at least 100 million, with Asian nations such as Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Pakistan and the Philippines among the potential candidates. Mexico, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt and Ethiopia could also be considered, he said. It would only make sense to admit Saudi Arabia and Iran if the group aims to develop a counterweight to the dollar as they are among the world’s biggest oil producers ........ China and India, the biggest members of BRICS, have shown little commitment to developing strong trade relations. The NDB should have, and still could be given, a strong mandate to finance alternative energy to fight climate change. The five BRICS countries are all among the world’s top 14 greenhouse gases emitters, with China the biggest single source. ........ If clear goals could be met “BRICS expansion would not only be sensible but should be welcomed by all, including the traditional powers”
