Completely normal. There is a German fake online shop for heating-oil[1]. It's online for many month now (at least 8 month per domain lookup), they already scammed hundreds (if not thousands) of people, they were reported to authorities countless times. Nothing happens, authorities just don't do anything. This fake shop is allowed to continue to scam people (orders are often >1000€!). But if you dare to insult Chancellor Merz on twitter, you get fined at most 2 days later.

[1]: The scam shop is https://fastenergy24.com (the real shop is: https://www.fastenergy.de/). People are searching for "fastenergy" on google and they mistakenly land and buy on "fastenergy24.com" instead of "fastenergy.de"). I tried to report the scam site on google, but the whole process is so frustrating that I gave up.

Me too, maki in --yolo mode within an incus NixOS container, giving maki rootless (nested) podman and nix flakes powers (so it can install and run whatever tools it needs), with 100% ds4-flash it's extremely powerful and super cheap.

Following this logic Mexico and Canada can both join a military alliance with China and Russia, I guess the U.S. must accept that, both are sovereign country's after all...

> Ukraine got rid of their nukes

Russia is the official successor state of the Soviet Union, the nukes never belonged to Ukraine in the first place. It was Ukraine that first attacked LPR and DPR in 2014. It was Ukraine that forbid Russian language, culture, church, etc... to Russians living in eastern Ukraine. By the way, Odessa will return to Russia.

I always find it unbelievable how people do not know or just forget about what happened in the east 85 years ago. Really sad. This is one of the primary reasons why people in the west don't understand why Russia cannot accept Ukraine in NATO. It was NATO that expanded to the east, contrary to the agreements after the fall of the Soviet Union. Russia said for decades that Ukraine in NATO is unacceptable.

Some routing services not just route to different LLMs, they also handle all the legal issues (GDPR compliance, ISO certification, guaranteed Zero-Data-Retention, domestic data processing/European based clouds, etc.). In regulated industries, these things matter a lot, especially when processing of sensitive data is involved.

> Open models are served via various means, some by the companies that released them and some by third parties like OpenRouter. Unfortunately, both of these routes are dodgier in terms of privacy and data sharing, and I would not feel the same comfort sending API calls containing client or confidential data to them.

That's why I'm using eurouter.ai with the following routing rule for all my requests:

  {
    "model": "glm-5.2",
    "models": [
      "deepseek-v4-pro",
      "deepseek-v4-flash"
    ],
    "provider": {
      "allow_fallbacks": true,
      "data_collection": "deny",
      "data_residency": "EU",
      "max_retention_days": 0,
      "eu_owned": true
    }
  }

Sure, it's quite expensive, but at least on a legal side data privacy is ensured. I trust them more than e.g. Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenRouter.

Personally, I find it morally unacceptable to use U.S. AI tools, because I do not want to support them financially and thus support the crimes they are involved in[1].

With the IPO on the horizon, Anthropic has to show that their models are significantly improving and are far better than other models from the competition while concealing that their business is economically unviable. They solve this conflict by throwing even more hardware resources at their models to upscale their "emerging capabilities" even more. At the same time, this effectively makes their offered services economically even more unviable. So they have to put in some hard limits, which they do by implementing "security guardrails", which incidentally usually kick in in non-security contexts.

Anthropic is primarily burning U.S. based capital and investments, from the administration's standpoint it's simply rational to stop letting non-U.S. actors burn this huge pile of U.S. capital. Of course, it's also a direct support of Anthropic by the administration (they are from the same social class) for their IPO: "These models have huge capabilities and are dangerous, we have to limit access", so that potential investors may conclude that an investment will surely lead to huge gains in the future. Anthropic is really good at marketing after all.

> And despite all this they've still held their two red lines

How do you know? What reason is there to trust a company like Anthropic? It's about money, a lot of money, and from a company's perspective there is no reason to stick to these claims while the competition doesn't care and can train and improve their models on the vast pile of data they receive while mass surveilling U.S. citizens (which clearly is a huge competitive advantage).

But in the end it's all just a deceptive theater.

While Anthropic publicly claims to refuse to help the MIC with warfare and surveillance, behind closed doors, Anthropic actively deploys its engineers and models to assist the NSA with espionage and offensive cyber warfare. Just look at the many contradictions:

* Anthropic secretly sent its own engineers directly to the NSA to deploy its (at that time unreleased) model "Mythos"[2,7]

* While the Pentagon has publicly labeled Anthropic a "supply-chain risk", the Trump administration has simultaneously been working hand-in-hand with Anthropic behind the scenes to secure its upcoming initial public offering (IPO)[1]

* If the U.S. government truly believed Anthropic was a national security threat, it would completely isolate the company. Instead, the Trump administration has actively encouraged major American banks and financial institutions to use Anthropic's models[1]

* Anthropic is heavily embedded within Palantir, the foundational data platform of the Military-Industrial Complex[3][4]

* Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense operates hand-in-hand with Palantir. Ukraine uses a specialized Palantir AI platform called PRISMA to fight Russian forces. Anthropic's language models power the text and data analysis within this system[4]

* Ukraine uses Anthropic-backed Palantir software in secretive command centers to coordinate its aggressive long-range drone campaign inside Russian territory[8]

* Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, has stated that the company will not allow its AI to power fully autonomous weapons that take humans out of the loop. However, in Ukraine, the AI functions as a decision-support tool. Because a human commander makes the final choice to press the button or launch the drone, Anthropic's terms of service are not technically violated. This allows Anthropic to protect its "ethical AI" brand while still letting its technology serve as a vital asset for Western-backed military operations[5]

Remember the Minab school attack, where the U.S. Military killed 156 civilians, including 120 schoolchildren[6]? Given all the evidence it's highly likely that Palantir and Anthropic played and still play a major role in perpetrating the war of aggression and all the crimes involved.

Personally, I find it morally unacceptable to use U.S. AI tools, because I do not want to support them financially and thus support the crimes they are involved in.

Where actually went all the productivity gains of the last decades? Isn't that supposed to decrease the amount of labor we humans have to do eventually?

Most frequent answer to this is: "But look we have all the high tech everyone of us can afford easily". But that cannot be the answer, because even if I choose to live like a luddite hermit while working 40h a week, I'm still not becoming super rich or can afford a house, which people my age could do 50 years ago.

So the productivity gains went elsewhere. The question is, into whose pocket? I guess into the pockets of those people who demand we should work even more than 40h a week.

Yep, and still no legal consequences for anyone for the precision strike murder of 156 civilians including 120 school children in Minab[1].

It was just "negligence" I guess, and the next war crime will also be "Ups, we did it again, nevermind!".

I already pointed this out 3 month ago[1].

The 'CEO' of the FDD recently demanded the assassination of Iranian negotiators in case they to not accept all demand of the Americans/Israelis[2] (i.e. surrender).

That's why it is so important for every country that wants to be sovereign to implement effective foreign agent laws.

Am I the only one who sees striking parallels between being a Claude Code customer and Cuckoldry (as in biology)?

I mean, you are investing a lot (infrastructure and capital) into something that is essentially not yours. You claim credit for the offspring (the solution) simply because it resides in your workspace. You accept foreign code to make your project appear more successful and populated than you could manage alone. Your over-reliance on a surrogate for the heavy lifting leads to the loss of your own survival skills (coding and debugging). Last but not least, you handle the grunt work of territory defense (clients and environments) while the AI performs the actual act of creation (Displaced Agency).

It is, OP is repeating anti China talking points of the Mainstream Media, pretending that China is a legitimate future military target of the US.

Reminder that the US is responsible for the precision strike murder of at least 175 people including 150 school children[1] and Trump, Hegseth and the entire rest of that criminal administration are still not in prison without the possibility of parole.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_attack

Do not pay attention to the many war crimes the U.S perpetrates on a daily basis in Iran and elsewhere... LOOK THERE CHINA, CHINA BAD, CHINA BAD, CHINA BAD, [...]

The US is a morally and ethically bankrupt country, that's why something like this happens. Not the first time either[1].

Nothing more redundant than British media citing Ukraine’s general staff, just ridiculous.

Drawing two crosses on a piece of paper every couple of years has really nothing to do with democracy. Democracy is when one can vote on all topics on any level (local village, town, district, county, state, ...) using the computer at home. This is possible to implement using the algorithms/data structures available today. We actually do basically everything online today - except voting.

For instance, such a system would be immune to corruption. That's one of the major reasons such a system will likely never appear.

Reminder that the US is responsible for the precision strike murder of at least 165 school children[1]. The fact that they are still 'investigating' after 7 days now is basically an admission that they are indeed responsible for it.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_airstrike

Convenient, right? That doesn't make the war crime(s) the US is responsible for simply disappear.

It doesn't really matter, they are both responsible, because both attacked Iran illegaly. The major role of course has the US, Israel alone can't do much.

Reminder that the US is primarily responsible for the precision strike killing of at least 165 school children[1].

Dear Americans, what are the costs of the 165 killed children of the Minab school airstrike[1]?

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_airstrike

UPDATE: Reports now say that over 80 school children between the age of 7 and 12 were killed in Minab.

How is the Epstein Regime going to survive this politically? How is the Senate (Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, etc.) going to survive this politically?

> Iranian media now report 40 killed and 48 students injured following the strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab, as rescue and recovery efforts continue.

Congrats America!

It was Trump who cancelled to JCPOA. Also, sending Witkoff and Kushner as negotiators is already an obvious sign the US is dishonest about preventing conflicts through diplomacy, otherwise they would send experienced diplomats. It is really the US Epstein Class Deep State government to blame here.

They could have named the DOD the "Department Of Peace", instead they called it the "Department Of War", showing their true face and trajectory.

At this point it is really the people of the US to rise up and implement a Regime Change from within to change things for the better.

At this point, no country in the world will ever again 'make a deal' with the US, because while pretending to negotiate with you they try to ram a knife into your back.

Then please explain why Victoria Nuland was giving out cookies in Maidan Square in 2014? #NoForeignInterference
