Okay... That sounds like a Europe problem.. For the record, I think Google sucks and is a bunch of assholes.. But it also seems to me that you folks (assuming you're European) would rather levy fines than address the problem.. You'd rather bend what exists to your will than develop (or promote, I guess) your own alternatives.. I thought the internet was supposed to be the Great Equalizer.. No harder to type www.eurosearch.com into a bar than www.google.com... You just need to let your citizens know it exists.. Or, maybe the real issue is that your offerings suck even worse than Google and nobody wants to use them?

Will it? What about DuckDuckGo? Are the evil? Do they need regulation? What about Brave?

There are easier ways to announce you're a retard. Trust China? Okay.. I get it if you don't trust the US, but what kind of a dick-smoking retard thinks the better alternate is China? Do you fucks read anything? History?

No European search engines to choose from?

Must suck having citizens who are so retarded they can't comprehend using an alternate. Europeans.. too fucking lazy to type other words..

Not always, fucktard. The Constitution contains plenty of examples of powers that were given to both the states and the feds.

Not that I care that they're destroying the books. Their property, they can do what they want with them.. But your statement regarding the cost is moronic..... Cost is not a barrier for these companies.

Yeah. This totally offsets the widespread political murder they engage in. You're a fucking idiot.

Are you an idiot? Local models with a decent host app don't phone home.

You are an idiot

Are you retarded? It is a one-time fee, you inbred fucktard.

Are you arguing for China-level surveillance? It sure the fuck looks like it.

You're a fucking idiot. Compare the poor people of 50 years ago with the poor people of today, asshole.

It's not even close. Nobody starves in this country anymore (outside of neglect / drug use / mental problems)

Another Luddite moron. Are the AI's taking your shit from you or just reading it, asshat? Why do I suspect you're one of the morons who used to scream "Information wants to be free"? Sure wasn't stealing when all you slashdot assholes were downloading MP3's, was it?

That is a laughably stupid statement. Your shitty local LLM may run fine for whatever bullshit you're having it do, but multi-terabyte model will have vastly more capability, you clown.

Typical liberal math. What's the state's debt, asshole?

This state can't limit spending to what it brings in, so that $500M is new debt stacked on top, 'cause the cunts that run this state can't stop spending more than they bring in.

PS, the total debt load for the state is north of $1.25 trillion, fucktard. And it only ever goes up.
