The Animal and the Machine<p>Russia is so shit I’m expecting to see footage of their beaches on fire.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a></p>

The Animal and the Machine<p>A <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a> future prediction:</p><p>People are saying that <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AI</span></a> is going to be sending emails from one person and also reading them for the other person. The joke being that AI and people are stupid.</p><p>This premise is correct and true and the concept of the joke is incorrect.</p><p>Any important email will be read by a human. Any AI to AI interaction via email actually shows the email was a waste of time for a human. Removing a human from this is a very good thing. Where information is needed to be communicated like event notifications (happening with or without you), the conclusion is that email was a bad method.</p><p>The prediction for the future becomes obvious. AI sent to AI read emails will happen and immediately following we will all start getting useful API’s and API integration on all things. People will once again be talking about the “internet of things”.</p>
The Animal and the Machine<p>I still think the most likely end to the <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> war is a Russian coup where all the Russians simply go home.</p><p>This will happen as soon as a military leader with enough pull thinks they are about to be scapegoated. Once this is true, it’s can’t not happen.</p><p>The Prince effect supports it too. That is where a military leader has a credible chance of winning and becoming the next leader, whom nobody wants to annoy. The coup force only needs to be proportional to the immediate loyal defence force, not the whole army.</p><p>Prigozhin could have taken the throne, Moscow.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a></p>
The Animal and the Machine<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://toot.io/@JoeStewart" class="u-url mention">@<span>JoeStewart</span></a></span> *Struts*<br />The <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Kursk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Kursk</span></a> limitation on deep strikes is still escalation* management. My description of an ‘escalating minimum’ still holds. The American’s are being honest; they feel North Korean troops will give Russia the edge to take a chunk of <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a>. The US has escalated to stop Ukraine losing with a view that if they can’t lose, they will eventually win. UK and France are supporting allies.</p><p>*Response to aggression is not escalation.</p><p>The next natural opportunity for upping the response is literally 11th hour 19th January. Any response to Biden will hit Trump and the Russians hope for their sanctions being lifted.</p><p>US Europe cables are the big ones and probably the US UK aka New York London one being the biggest. Finland being cut from Germany is like Alaska being cut from US West coast. Not going to do much economic damage but really going to piss everyone off.</p><p>Satellite Bandwidth has improved considerably but still no where near the growth in load.</p><p>Sanctions would naturally offset the cable cut threat, but Russia can’t up the physical violence, the West can’t significantly up the trade sanctions. Mostly maxed out.</p><p>So it’s intact cables for long-range limits. Ukraine needs to develop its own Neptune upgrade. They are probably getting help. Well done the US for inventing an army based missile system. Its value has been proven 1,000 times over.</p><p>Side note: USD GBP FX trades are still called ‘cable trades’ as for large deals you’re basically ledgering in native countries so best price is gained from sending a cable across the Atlantic which has been possible since 1865.<br /><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_telegraph_cable" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transa</span><span class="invisible">tlantic_telegraph_cable</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.submarinecablemap.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">submarinecablemap.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a></p>
The Animal and the Machine<p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a><br />I’m upgrading this to a correct call.</p><p>US. Give <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> full ATACMS on Russia. I can live without Netflix if I have to. The markets will get hammered on cable trade (US UK) but Russia will also get hammered.</p><p>This is a failure to secure key infrastructure, not a desperate need.</p><p>I will not be held to ransom.</p>
The Animal and the Machine<p>Right now, every European arms manufacturer is running a components review. Every American component that can be switched for a European one will be switched.</p><p>Any missile that can’t be fired because the US said so, has less value. Some US technology is both core and superior (every country has something best in class) so I expect some missiles to have both ‘NATO standard’ and ‘European’ variants.</p><p>I can’t see the UK 🇬🇧 and France 🇫🇷 not already taking a look at Storm Shaddow / SCALP. Guessing the US component is hyper accurate inertial guidance, I expect science news IN 2025 about a new system developed in Europe to stop light aircraft getting lost.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a></p>
The Animal and the Machine<p>I give myself half points on this one. <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a></p>
The Animal and the Machine<p>It’s only a matter of time before <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> has demolition drones that swarm in and take out a building.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/NAFO" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NAFO</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Fellas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Fellas</span></a>, please get on that.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a> prediction</p>
The Animal and the Machine<p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a>’s next flux point isn’t ending the war with winning, it is simply to turn the tide. Doing so does three major things:</p><p>1) The strongman illusion compounds Russia’s progress, but the reverse is also true. As Russia starts to lose territory that too will be compounded by the appearance of a weakman.<br />2) Everyone loves a winner. Western aid will flow like water as everyone tries to be at the top of Ukraine’s friends list, for a bite of that post war reconstruction.<br />3) Ukrainian’s who so far have avoided joining the fight because they don’t want to die or be horrifically injured, will not want to be labelled with shame and will want the label of honour.* We will see lines at recruitment centres.</p><p>Bring on 2025!</p><p>* No British or French or European wants to die in <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> so it is fine for a Ukrainian to want the same. It’s Russia’s fault, not Ukraine’s. Late joiners will get a nickname but it still will be superior to not joining. There is no shame for Ukrainians in London. However, what I’m describing is how people will feel and act. This is unrelated to any truth.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a></p>
The Animal and the Machine<p>What’s the next war tech?</p><p>It’s got to be lasers.<br />• Effectively infinite ammunition<br />• Rapid direction change<br />• Can kill swarms of drones<br />• Can kill a wave of soldiers</p><p>Yes, this doesn’t exist yet as a real deployable, wide spread weapon system, that’s my point. The West should be pumping massive money into this as the next counter… and I mean more money.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/lasers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>lasers</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a></p>
The Animal and the Machine<p>Here’s a fun one. The <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> economy will be supercharged in 2045.</p><p>Why?<br />• Post war victory, joy and hope return with a really positive view of a future in Europe.<br />• Baby boom.<br />• Two decades later, the babies are a large working youth.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a></p>
The Animal and the Machine<p>I think there is a genuine chance of a future where we get news articles periodically about ongoing attempts to extradite Trump to the US.</p><p>Let’s see how this prediction goes.<br /><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a></p>
The Animal and the Machine<p>Yep. Lasers. <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Laser" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Laser</span></a> weaponry is the only counter to FPV drones. We’re going to see it developed in the next few years.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TAATM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TAATM</span></a></p>
