It doesn't work like that, art is a package. At this point it's interesting that AI can do these things but the momen it wears off it stops being worthwhile. Artist + AI as a tool is working fine I believe but stuff produced by p

Yes it's a tax on consumption and when applied to everything the same way it's essentially a VAT. The admin keeps telling that EU will pay, India will pay but at best they can do is to weaken their currency so the goods become che

I know right? AI is in the uncanny valley still. But every now and then I stumble upon something made with AI. I have no proof but I'm convinced that the song here is AI made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL1Fg1QnDi

What do you plan to do when definitions of crime start getting fuzzy? Crime is not just petty crimes where it's a clear cut to tell if someone did something bad in definitive terms. Other crime types exist that are crime only within a

How do you prevent a misuse or switching to "let's just start looking into this without warrant until this popular issue(i.e. immigrants, USA, Russia, religios tensions, ethnic tensions) is solved" when the next political cri

What is the motivation behind this? Do you have some issue that in Denmark its deemed solvable only through that? Can you provide some context maybe? Is it like cultural thing?

Because countries don’t want to give away more sovereignty? EU needs to federalize but europeans are still too nationalistic for that to happen. Even Germany is too tiny to matter in the global stage but even small countries with population

EU isn't at all capable of doing that because it's not a hegemonic state, it's just bunch of a countries coming together to coordinate on doing stuff. My guess on what happened this time is, people were tasked to implement a

Good framing but IMHO it’s a bit like thinking by analogy. Last time, USA was behind in space race and they didn’t just use what they already had to go to the moon, instead they started a huge movement that inspired and educated generations

This doesn’t mean that it can’t be used for political manipulation. For example, one can run ads claiming that they are an agency helping refugees collect the government issued houses and cars to induce outrage against refugees to boost the

America was doing very well on renewable energy, it started a bit late than EU but accelerated quickly and just caught up. For some reason the new administration decided not to proceed any further.

I imagine that if I was a political activist or something I would have op-sec. That's why, IMHO, this is just an attempt of inducing self censorship among those who aspire to come to US for something productive.

What I wonder is, are people just listing their social media accounts when asked? I would imagine that if I was an activist on social media or if I was expressing strong views not liked by somebody I would definitely not tell that somebody

We will take the day off I guess as we run the critical stuff on nuclear. I don't fancy nuclear because it's too involved, takes forever to build, its a big deal, needs long term planning. I also don't believe that there are

I'm very excited for solar. In Europe we don't have much fossil fuels, so our "hippiness" is not really a choice. I see some people campaigning against European green energy or the renewables and it doesn't make sen

Exactly. Europe’s regulations are about the absolute bottom, not intended to be taken as the average experience. On average US companies are much better with customer experience. Of course until they corner you, then they may choose not to

Any examples of American company having worse customer experience than European ones? I will give you 2 for the opposite: Amazon and Apple do no question asked refunds all the time. Much higher bar than European regulators require.

by mrtksn 1y ago
True but generally speaking American companies usually have much better customer service and better refund policies than European ones. The issues usually stem when a company corners the market or has no viable alternatives. So maybe the Am

Sure, nazis even called it “the final solution”. The difference is that the the ottomans didn’t have an anti-armenian culture going on and the Ottoman rule wasn’t being legitimized over stuff like “fighting a war against sleazy Armenians wh

Could be, I agree. I'm inclined to believe that it become a genocide once the incompetent administrators failed to address the core reasons and thought that it would be easier to make these troubles go away by killing everybody.

True, I'm also inclined to believe that it started as a suppression attempt that ended up being a genocide as "an easy solution" to make a problem go away as the dying empire wasn't able to contain it. I recall reading t

Tell me about an empire who conquered and held conquered land through asking politely. If you are able to come up with any, Ottomans certainly were not among those sure. That's why people don't like being invaded by empires. What
