Comment The denial of reality is strong in Altman. (Score 5, Insightful) 42

Yes, we will turn it off in that very unlikely event, but we believe the U.S. government is an institution that does its best to follow law and policy.

Clearly he hasn't been following the news for the last 14 months. Trump started breaking the law on day 1. ICE has followed suit growing more emboldened the more Trump and his lackeys have defended their illegal arrests and murder of US citizens.

Comment Re:What competitivness? (Score 1) 81

Just the fact that EU has no own major companies like Google, Microsoft or Amazon means that it is not competitive already.

So what does it have to lose?

Those three companies you mentioned all use technology either provided by European companies, such as robotics Amazon are using in their warehouses, or like in the case of Google's Gemini, European companies that they'be bought up. In fact talking about Gemini all it's development is still done in the UK. Also remember that without the Dutch company ASMLs lithographs no US chip manufacturer is building any microchips. Apple, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Nvidia all rely on ASML lithographs to make their CPUS, GPUs and neural processors.

Because Americans were paying to defend you so you could afford to follow crazy policies and fund bloated welfare states.

European here. Wow you MAGAs will believe any bullshit. The vast majority of the $900Bn of US military spending is on US defence and most of that actually spent within the USA on things like soldier's pay, running bases in the US, carrying out training exercises etc.

The does not fund the majority of NATO. The US spends $33Bn a year on NATO the same as Germany does, it accounts for 16% of the total NATO budget. And most of that spending is on US bases in Europe that it uses to launch operations in the Middle East and North Africa so actually isn't spent on NATO operations. If the US attacks Iran and ends up in a war with it many operations will be launched from it's bases in Europe and just like in Iraq and Afghanistan seriously injured troops will be sent to Randheim for treatment. The US economy also benefits massively financially for being the major party in NATO. $100 billions spent by NATO allies with US defence sector companies buying US military equipment. Lockheed Martin has made a fortune from the US being the the leading nation in NATO.

Talking of Google spreadsheets I use Proton's Proton Drive and you can now edit Word and Excel documents on there too just like Google Drive. So whilst you can't currently create one from scratch you could knock one up in LibreOffice etc, stick it on your Proton Drive and just edit it on there in your browser.

Secondly, this appears to be a case of discrimination. It's almost like racism.

Fuck me I've not seen anyone in the comments more in need of getting out of their bedroom, touching grass and talking to other human beings in real life. AI is not a real person. AI has no rights. It is not possible to discriminate against it or be racist against it.

Or the MoJ is horribly embarrassed when shown that they are doing a really bad job.

This is not America, the records aren't being destroyed. All that's happening is one company that was given access to records to create an archive and abused that to use the information in ways it wasn't allowed to in the contract is being told that because of the breach of contract it has to now delete that archive.

Who would have thought libtards would earn their moniker in spaces by conveniently forgetting that Herr Obama deported over THREE MILLION illegals out of the country by way of force. As a matter of fact, isn't that the SAME Tom Homan getting a fucking Presidential award from the Deporter in Chief for doing that job most excellently? Why I believe it is!

Nazi Germany? Trump can't even compete with your beloved member of the Democrat Choom Gang. Fuck your moronic childish hypocrisy.

I'm not American so I have no dog in your fight. I am however European, my grandfathers fought the Nazis in WW2 and the history of WW2 and it's causes were taught widely. As such I'm able to recognise the very strong similarities with what is now going on in the US now and what happened in 1930s Germany.

Comment No Shit! (Score 4, Insightful) 339

Who would have thought that when you have a government hell bent on turning the US into 1930s Nazi Germany, complete with a law enforcement body (ICE) acting like Hitler's Brown Shirts did, disappearing immigrants both legal and illegal and shooting it's own US born citizens at point blank range that anyone who can leave is and people who would've emigrated to the US are looking elsewhere?
