Tech jobs are up, just not in the US. I know personally 2 people who got hired without an interview to fill two open roles. https://muneebdev.com/software-development-job-market-india-...

Because these are our societies. We build them. If this door were to swing both ways, I would not have an issue. But it never does. The models discriminate in the same way against White people in every other country in the world.

I build AI for banks. A couple of weeks ago, I had a meeting with a Google team on Legacy Modernization using Agentic AI. Let me phrase it this way. None of them were smart. My team and I were shaking our heads at the low skills of the team

Just look at the space industry. Europe doesn't even have a proper space port.

I build agents for banks for a living and can tell you for sure that you are wrong.

" we’re just mourning the fall of the US ". Listen to Rubio's speech again. The EU is in a managed decline, and no number of migrants will change that.

You lost all your credibility if you see AI as "a chatbot".

Yes, I agree. But it was Europe that has become complacent and lazy. "Doing good" is more important than "doing right". As a result, with energy prices high, dependence on Russia only increased, and car manufacturers (St

Over the last 20 years, Europe has become irrelevant. There is not a single European LLM on the same level as US or Chinese models. France's Mistral reached 400M in revenue, but I believe it could have been more relevant if the EU had

I am for work often in Japan and maintain a permanent residence there. I certainly think its a better place to live than Europe.

So safe, largely wealthy, homogeneous culture, clean cities and countryside, with good healthcare and flawless public transportation? Sounds like a utopia to me.

China calls it the low-altitude economy, and besides human transportation there is a lot that can be done. Personally, I believe that propeller-driven devices are too dangerous and noisy, but there might be innovations coming out of China t

I used Mistral 7B a lot in 2023. It was a good model then. Now its not anywhere near where SOTA models are.

On-device moves all compute cost (incl. electricity) to the consumer. I.e., as of 2025 that means much less battery life, a much warmer device, and much higher electricity costs. Unless the M-series can do substantially more with less this

My favourite is Smolagents from Huggingface. You can easily mix and match their models in your agents.

It might appear so, but then you could validate it with a simple test. If the LLM would play a 4x4 Tic Tac Toe game, would the agent select the winning move 100% of all time or block a losing move 100% of the time? If these systems were ca

My AdSense account was suspended three times because I had an exclamation mark in my ad. I closed my account after that. I am certain Google still tracks my account as "potential fraud" to this day.
