I think the main difference is that you physically need to go to a notary in Germany. But that meeting takes like 10 minutes, it's all boilerplate.

Countering the argument that LLMs are just gloriefied probability machines and do not undertand or think with "how do you know humans are not the same" has been the biggest achievement of AI hypemen (and yes, it's mostly men)

I have founded multiple companies in Germany and in the US. Sure, in the US you have services like Stripe Atlas that make it a bit easier. But still, I would not say it's much crazier registering a company in Germany compared to the US

Completely agree. Reducing or getting rid of livestock animal agriculture will help with many major challenges we have today, like climate change, loss of biodiversity, animal cruelty, antimicrobial resistance. But hey, gotta have that chea

I already heard back from the EFF and they agree that it's "silly trademark claim". They will now reach out to their contact at LinkedIn and ask them to withdraw. Apparently, IP enforcement firms like Tracer send out a lot of

Yes, and ideally we would have no wars, either. But because of fucking psychos like Putin, Trump, Xi Jinping and many more, we do. Therefore, unfortunately, it makes sense for EU to decrease their economic dependence on outside players like
