Yes, it's a human-level problem. Everybody knows from school the people who did not help with the group work, and the ones who actually did their part and were nice to work with. However are the "good ones" actually hanging o

The underlying problem of distinguishing honest contributors from AI hustlers is quite hard, but worthwhile to solve properly. Maybe there is a way to reduce incentives for AI hustlers to join a certain platform, while attracting honest con

Good term, we should use that. It's a massive propaganda push paid for by some of the richest people of the planet. It started with Brexit/Cambridge Analytica; continues with the Bannon/Epstein chat histories, and Vance/

They routed the search to Virginia for surveillance, I hope that is clear to you.

It seems Europe is living rent free in your head, maybe you should talk to a shrink.

It's weird but this is the first time I realize that even the word "artificial intelligence" is a quite clever framing, because "simulated intelligence" is technically more correct to describe an LLM.

Realistically as an Europeans we have the security threat of backdoored components from Epstein's colleagues at five eyes which are used for mass-surveillance of VMs at European hosters such as Hetzner. And every time you add a configu

It's one piece of a proper defense-in-depth approach. Europe needs to hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

It's a shame there is no software-based memory encryption included in the linux kernel. Especially cloud providers can easily snoop all your keys and you have zero recourse.

Fully agree but it is still a risk for the US, because if the clever immigrants notice they can't get as rich as their American-born peers and on top of that US leadership publicly antagonizes their country of origin, those foreign-bor

Source? Even if this is true it is not noteworthy, because the damage done by US to their allies far outweighs such small "help".

US startups are trying to do a commercialization of AI, but their marketing is about being a "lab" and doing "research" - which they are not. They're trying to commercialize the hell out of the LLM approach, while f

Nothing of value is lost for Europe because we mostly work with natural intelligence. The malinvestment bubble happens in the US, and hardware prices will come down. We're all dependent on Taiwan but others also depend on ASML which is

Maybe it's better for startups to go with natural intelligence instead of artificial intelligence, just a thought

Appreciate your response - that was definitely a meaningful time for the company. I'm jealous. You can be proud of your contributions. I still remember my music teacher using an old Mac with the black/white UI for many years becau

That's unacceptable, because intelligence needs a way to steer your car into oncoming traffic if required to do so due to confidential national security reasons.

I see a future where it is easier for startups to create their own mobile devices than to deliver certain functionality through the Google and Apple platforms where your own data will be used against you and where their devices can record y

Obviously it's advanced work, but the problems might be harder due to the Apple-specific circumstances and tech debt; and not because they are globally hard for humanity.

These self-made stories are total bs, most of them are nepo kids and their family's aristocratic, colonial-era wealth is repatriated to the US through startup investments. Epstein files highlight that once you achieve intergenerational

It's a bit sad that people who are already big VIPs in the tech industry feel the need to spend time writing such tweets, or even worse, hire a PR firm to do it. It's usual for celebrities with the same net worth from other indust

If they are so clever it's weird how they end up with butterfly keyboard, walled garden software, glassy iOS themes, and fight against EU initiatives such as replacable batteries. Apple is a super late stage company, why would a clever

Maybe it's part of the Epstein files, he was famously wearing US Coast Guard shirts ;) If it also contains a sensor network to detect adversary ships and submarines, it would be bad if someone else can use it to track US submarines. Or

Even with export controls AI is still firmly in hands of US companies, and it's quite hard to migrate to your own GPU farms. If datacenter construction and health of neighboring people is a topic in the US then I can only imagine how b

This decision gives them plausible reason to send a ship to every single sensor and "remove" it, nobody knows what they replace it with. Maybe the old sensor network is compromised and snooped on by another nation, so they'd

> Ultimately, I see the rest of the world (especially Europe) relying less and less on US tech. The long term damage is done. They know it and they try to slow it down as much as possible.

by bflesch 4mo ago
US customers have much higher budgets (startup funding) and create much more hassle (wars, tariffs, overall humiliation) than European customers. It's a bold decision but they are apparently seeing a lot of demand and I'd say let

I think you're making a false comparison. Big cloud providers have many more hidden config settings they can tune to save costs, they are not offering dedicated server with specific hardware. Hetzner's dedicated servers have a spe

I'm happy they increase prices if it helps them to stay sustainable and independent. Companies spend millions on US cloud providers and AI subscriptions, but suddenly one of the best hosting options in Europe is not worth 30% more. Esp
