Yes. And when the "think of the children" lie has run its course, they will just continue with one of the other horsemen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

These are malicious people, plain and simple. They want everybody monitored and dislike anybody having freedoms. And they will stop short of nothing to get there.

It is a lot of historic reputation. But I actually know 3 (!) Swiss numbered account systems personally (don't ask). They used to be anonymous a long time ago. They are not these days. The identity of the account holders has to be verified carefully in each case and has to be given to the government. The reputation of the Swiss banks refers to a situation that does not exist anymore and has not existed for quite a while.

Indeed. But they have to win this first. So far they convinced 2% of the voters to sign and they had 18 months for that. In the end, the Swiss voters are usually pretty pragmatic.

CS has gone out of business due to management incompetence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The largest Swiss bank is rank 23: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
And the 2nd largest Swiss bank is rank 97.

Funny how that goes when hallucinations collide with actual facts ...

You think half a person of teaching personnel per student is too much? Well, being one of these, I can assure you it is money well spent. In fact, every CHF spent on the universities returns 4 CHF in profits. These are current numbers, just updated. You think that somehow is a problem?

Yeah, probably.

Not more than in other parts of the world. Probably less. And yes, I actually know that. For example, the fabled "anonymous Swiss bank accounts" have been history for a long time.

And not in a good way. Looks like a rather large number of people seriously do not know what they are doing.

When all compete but the products are still crap. Market failure does not get more spectacular than this.

Indeed. It still means "unusable for anything requiring accuracy". Which is quite a few things. Well, I guess this will not deliver the business model that finally turns a profit either. If that ever happens.

And you will never be able to. That would require a scaling up that is not feasible. Or an entirely different technology.

Indeed. Well, at least the crash will be spectacular. I am hoping for no more AI hypes for a long, long time.

You say the words, but you do not mean them.

Or, more concisely: Countries should aim to be poor.

There is reason to believe this limit will not actually be reached. And that would be a problem.

Keep in mind that this is the "SVP", which is essentially the "MAGA morons", Swiss version. They only need to collect 2% voter signatures in 18 months to start this. Does not mean they have any real chance of getting it accepted.
