You want to drink beer and eat knedel in Prague. You eat goulash in Budapest.

Result of the investigation: great revenue stream, keep on! Also, nice idea to create plausible deniability through “affair”.

Russian by allegiance. Slovenian by origin.

Most people in East Europe in the 1930-es didn’t think it likely that the rest of the century will be spent under the yoke of various dictatorships. Most people in Weimar Germany didn’t think that the Nazis are a serious threat. There are probably other examples I am less familiar with.

A large percentage of the world’s population has experienced government interference including and beyond who can own what. It is very possible to happen, and thinking otherwise, respectfully, is unfortunately what helps it make happen.

You are both right. That’s what they want, and that’s what we need to resist. Because without active resistance they will try to prevent you from owning things (which today they can’t yet).

This works if most people don’t have an autonomous car too, so they are forced to rent one. The business case for this is such level of poverty where most people cannot afford owning a car; and then a petty rentier class exploiting them for pennies. Welcome to neo-feudalism.

“look at me and the scary beast I brought to life! Look at me!” No Geoffrey, the scary beasts are Sam Altman and his ilk, who would have used anything to hype the fading tech industry up. LLMs were just the thing that happened to be that “anything”.

Please, waste your money on something that needs several football fields big heat radiators per gigawatt. And cannot replace a hard drive without launching a technician into space.

I too was wondering what’s going on there. My bet is it’s his sock with a hole. Wouldn’t take him for a man who wears red socks. Maybe it’s his pantyhose.

He will act as if it was his. EU should prepare accordingly. The ONLY sensible reason to have that agreement signed is to buy time. Any other thinking is delusional. I very much hope the EU political and military elites are conscious of this.
