OpenAI and Anthropic are going public soon. They’re trying to offload the bag on the public.

Surprised this isn’t already a thing. Any mainstream social network is very very soon going to be completely useless for political discourse.

Isn’t the French national debt wildly out of control? I guess they could raise taxes instead.

This is true. CEOs generally last very short before they’re fired. Any normal person would be set for life by their compensation package, though.

It would have cost you nothing to not write this.

The average Swede emits less CO2 than the average Thai. If Sweden wants to halt reforms while waiting for the USA, China, and the rest of the world to catch up that seems fine to me.

Color me skeptical of anything Deutsche Telekom. I’d rather look at OVH, Hetzner, and Scaleway than at something from Telekom.

That’s fair, honestly. Fuck Orban and everyone voting for him.

Welcome to startup land. If you’re profitable that means you’re not investing into growth and that means you probably don’t see much scope for growth and that means you’re yesterday’s news. It kinda makes sense, although it can get a bit absurd.

Bots and troll farms are not impacted, though. I don’t expect this will lead to better politics.

In a world where electronics were really expensive and did not go out of date so quickly, maybe people actually would have tools and spare parts lying around for the power electronics. But a) that’s not the world we live in, and b) usually the software is not user serviceable, at least with reasonable effort, and the microelectronics never is

If you’re on Windows it’s hard to recommend anything else. Nvidia has DLSS supported in basically every game. For recent games there’s the new transformer DLSS. Add to that ray reconstruction, superior ray tracing, and a steady stream of new features. That’s the state of the art, and if you want it you gotta pay Nvidia. AMD is about 4 years behind Nvidia in terms of features. Intel is not much better. The people who really care about advancements in graphics and derive joy from that are all going to buy Nvidia because there’s no competition.

Corrupt government does what corrupt governments do? Shocking.

Don’t you pay income tax in the country where you are resident, regardless of where you work? I don’t understand this. Sounds like a badly thought out deal.

The EU? Acting decisively? That’s hopeful.

Eh. Flattery works particularly well on Trump, I believe. So I think Rutte is doing a good job here. It’s sad that it’s necessary and that it works, but I don’t blame Rutte for the election of Trump.

Exactly this. Isn’t the point of the BBC world service to communicate/propagandise the British view of what’s happening in the world to other countries? Imagine Russia Today adding a paywall? It’s counter to the entire point! I think you may be on to something about this being a concession to Trump.

I applaud your optimism, and I think in theory you’re right. I just don’t think the odds are in the favor of anyone taking your advice.

Is it democracy that has a problem, or is it humans? Take the housing crisis, for example. We want low rents without lotteries, except we also want beautiful cities without commieblocks or even high-rises, and the significant proportion of voters who own their own homes want home values to always increase. And god forbid property taxes forces a retired old person out of a home that’s far larger than what they need. There is just no solution that satisfies all constraints. So we muddle through, mumbling something about “damn foreigners” and “eat the rich”. If we all actually agreed the housing crisis is a problem we’re willing to make sacrifices to solve, then we’d solve it in an instant. But no. Only mimimi.
