verify if this is true (it would explain the speech clampdown) Max Otte says Germany Is Racing Toward Total Collapse https://www.youtube.com/watch?... AI summary:

Economic Decline: Otte explains that Germany is failing to adapt its industrial base—long reliant on mechanical and electrical engineering, chemicals, and automotive sectors—to the modern AI and chip revolution (4:03 - 4:16). He characterizes Europe as lagging behind global competitors like China and the US. Geopolitical Dependency: Both participants argue that the European Union has become a "vassal territory" for US interests, with many regulations and political decisions being steered by Washington rather than serving the internal needs of European nations (14:00 - 15:35). They discuss the historical and contemporary efforts to keep German industrial capacity and Russian energy resources divided (20:58 - 21:20). Military Keynesianism: Otte notes that leaders are turning to "military Keynesianism"—attempting to use increased defense spending to spur technological and economic development—which he views as a dangerous shift toward conflict-driven economics rather than sustainable growth (1:24 - 1:35, 4:43 - 5:27). Strategic Vision: Otte suggests that a potential path forward would require a cohesive European-level industrial policy, though he expresses pessimism about the political will of current leaders to break away from existing power structures and foster cooperation with regional partners

Nothing gets their attention like geopolitics and apparently North Korea is booming, Max Fisher lays out this interesting turn of events: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Experts in economics are struggling how to handle the biggest economic paradigm shift in decades? LLMs are so darn useful for society but none of the money is flowing back to you. Well time to think of something, propose something, Bernie Sanders has proposed LLMs are using the collective knowledge of humanity so the people should own 50% of each LLM company. Do you economists like that proposal? Guess what, if you take the Economist out of the LLM training the models might become more left leaning in their responses, the very thing the Economist fights tooth and nail against! oh dear what a dilemma.

How many of these authors are now using Claude, or another LLM, to assist in their next book?

The software can be open and free but then it is useless unless trained which requires basically a datacenter of GPUs and Petabytes of data. This is where the private companies can wink and say it was all non-copyright data but you won't have that luxury. You also need constant on-going data collection and on-going training. This is nation-state stuff. The best bet is if the EU or Australia is willing to fund it to not be dependent on the USA or China.

>How much technology was thrown at the internet back then? How long did it take for all that spending to see results?
Till right now, AI would not have been possible to train without all that information easy to grab off the internet. The internet and high powered GPUs are the structural foundation of modern AI.

Would not want to see US models pulling ahead in a far lead, Especially given yesterday 1) Trump trying to erode trust in elections with the China boogyman 2) Rubio railing against 'leftists' at a world meeting

Rubio embraced unusually dehumanizing language towards leftwing activists. “They can call themselves anti-capitalist or anti-imperialist, communist, anarchist or Marxist,” he said. “It’s always the same. It is a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of equality and justice liberation ...

Just what is a leftist, according to Gemini

A leftist is someone who advocates for social, political, and economic equality. They typically support progressive or socialist ideals, believing that society's resources should be used to uplift the working class and disadvantaged groups.

Elsevier - the company paywalling research journals and charging $50 bucks to see one article? A post-scarcity future has no copyrights. Did they ever mention copyrights on Star Trek???
These LLM models have taken ALL of humanities knowledge and ALL of humanity should benefit, as seen previously on Slashdot: Bernie Sanders Unveils $7 Trillion Plan To Give Americans Control of AI Industry https://yro.slashdot.org/story...

He is the real deal and doesn't do marketing bullshit. These researchers are seeing the models a good 6 months before you get them AND they seem them before they are dumbed down with safety restrictions. Someone should probably submit this new paper in the submissions que: From AGI to ASI https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.126...
It means we already have AGI and are moving beyond it.

Because these economists have only studied, by design, capitalism. They can't even think of anything else. Here are some leads:
1) Stop persecuting Left leaning countries like Cuba, we admit the West is out of ideas, let Cuba's idea play out without sanctions and interference.
2) Look to the past, all this has played out before in the Gilded Age, Marx, the Depression & New Deal, the 60's, BTW you must read The Iron Heel, the deje vu is immense https://www.gutenberg.org/eboo...
3) People looking at real ideas:
Grace Blakeley, Vulture Capitalism: Empire, Bailouts, Monopoly Power https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Clara Mattei: The End of Capitalism is Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
David Shapiro: Post Labor Economics: https://www.youtube.com/playli...

The same distance! What a coincidence!
US supplies weapons to Taiwan to protect its independence, these weapons are purely defensive.
Iran & Russia supply weapons to Cuba to protect its independence, these weapons are purely defensive.
The same reasoning! What a coincidence!
Yes but Cuba bad! Don't buy into that propaganda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

All they want is to topple the government, install a puppet regime and recover their 'stolen' assets from 60 years ago and get back to colonial extraction, like they are doing in Venezuela, How Marco Rubio Is Running Venezuela From Afar https://www.nytimes.com/2026/0...
Want to see the real picture on Cuba:

The War On Cuba is an award-winning documentary series executive-produced by Oliver Stone and Danny Glover that takes an in-depth look at the economic war waged by the U.S. government on the Cuban people.

Anthropic's framing is that this is a geopolitical contest for basically the future of the world and freedom and democracy.
Anthropic's framing is that this is a geopolitical contest for basically the future of the world and freedom and democracy; assuming in Nov Trump is voted out and Democratic Socialist voted in.

You got it backward, through his own hard work, paying fees and exorbitant tuition, he provided the US with top class research and the prestige of a Nobel Prize all while earning much less than a sport star or movie star. Then Israel with full US support started genociding his kinfolk, and his own tax dollars were going to that, it was a bit too much to stomach.
