To be honest i have no sympathy for immigra,,, er sorry expats. It is pure location arbitrage: rich pensioners moving to south europe to get a vastly bigger bang for their buck than they would get back home. It would eventually backfire, and i am glad it does. It was idiotic of the touristic countries to invite this kind of thing in the first place.

The EU executive doesn't hold general elections

Probably it's a random sample of AI companies. Curing cancer is the marketing slogan, AI is not capable of doing that. But it's good enough to impress bankers and lawyers who will keep inflating the bubble for the foreseeable future.

Trump attacked iran in the middle of negotiations. It's probably a pattern from the salesmen book he didn't even write.

The EU is definitely dragging its feet believing that Trump will go away and "normality" will return.

Pushing back against a US that is at this point economically and militarily dominant does nothing. It might push for cooperations outside the US-sphere.

Democracy is failing because people you don't like are being democratically elected. The opposite would indeedn be failure.

Just at the right time when China is looking to expand its exports. People said that Trump was Putin's stooge, but he might have been Xi's.

I'm concerned that governments worldwide are finding tarrifs to be a popular (and exciting!) way to exorbitantly increase the size of governments and goverment coffers which are then used for populist aims. We need to re-educate people that tarrifs are bad.

Beaches are full of people taking photos for an hour and ending up not swimming

you are correct, there is a difference between a hot take and a laconic statement.

the issue is with attention-seeking. Platforms willingly turn their forums to competition for likes, instead of encouraging compromise, which is what drives interesting discussions.

We need proof that AI can climb the vertical axis and is not just horizontally expanding on what we already know. ANNs (including LLMs) are approximators of things that already exist , but science occasionally needs paradigm shifts and we have not yet seen any of it with AI.

That s the thing with all US companies (chinese cos don't seem to go metaphysical)

it's not fun - this forum started with infinite optimism in entrepreneurship, the PG stuff. Then about five years in it turned to "join a BigTech or you ll never be rich", then after AI everyone realized they are on borrowed time and most of them are already outside of the game, if there is a game at all.

Is this cure of cancer in the room with us?

> procuring the necessary compute to train and run advanced models at scale is becoming more and more expensive,

There will certainly be a glut of compute that will follow this extreme scarcity. There is already a flood of chinese models that are almost cutting-edge, and it's almost guaranteed this trend will continue as american AI gets better. There is no hidden magic in USA, it's pretty much doable, and it's being done.

In the end, the frontier models is not where the value will lie. The country that makes the best entrepreneurial rules for AI development will win economically.

Newsflash: the permanent periphery is already a reality for large parts of europe , asia . the world is half american

40% in a specific country

it wields power with missiles, with the dollar as a consequence

Can't they just do it with AI ?

That's like eating dinner with a chainsaw

Having just installed the world's most popular software (MS windows), i think they should be.

We found trump's achilles heel. I demand a trillion to shut down my solar

Chinese EVs are making rapid inroads in the balkans, lots of new brands

By itself not so interesting announcement. I wish the models were open weights so we could at least do some interesting geometry on the math.

It s like a rich man showing off his car collection.

Are they targeting movies or ads?

They can go even higher if we make more war
