In the future, people will use AI to generate their own TV series. Most will suck, but some will be amazing. I don't think long form content has much of a future though. No one wants to sit through some three hour woke fest watching the annoying teenager or the fake love interest in every movie. That whole format is dead. Most of these 3 hour movies could have been 2 TikToks. User generated content will ultimately prevail over Hollywood and it already is. Most young people don't even watch TV any more.

They got SAP and Spotify. Lol. Europe is a joke.

They have been saying that since the 1990's. We've constantly been told that personal hardware would be pointless and everything is going back to old school server-workstation architecture, and it still hasn't happened.

An even better solution is to wall off the internet to European countries that want to censor everything. US companies should leave and let the European tech giants....lol.....take control. Who do they have? Spotify? Lmao. Imagine a search engine run by SAP. Lol.

"He'll be milquetoast and set it up such that the theorcracy can agitate and con it's way back into powe within a few years."

Is he milquetoast or can he set it up so the theocracy can come back? Seem like mutually contradictory things.

Anyway, the Iranians want the Shah. There is no organized internal opposition force, he's moderately well-respected, he hates the theocracy (so why would he reinstate it?), and he's pledged supporting democracy.

Trump merely imposed reciprocal tariffs and the EU got mad at that. What tech companies does the EU have that the US can even retaliate against? Spotify? Junk like SAP? Lmao.

âoeSocial mediaâ is just people talking. Europe canâ(TM)t handle that?

The Sam Altman types, and the Thiel/Musk types especially, want technofeudalism with them on top. For some of them the "good of society" factors in but it is always after this.

...if you don't like it make your own phone and your own app store.

If US companies could pay their workers $4 an hour the cars would be cheap too.

Any company can create their own phone and own eco system anytime they want. Google should tell the EU to FO.

What garbage info would AI train on from India?

We're trying to stay alive and enjoy life. We need food and fuel. The planet will be just fine. If we got rid of lunatic environmentalists then we might cut our carbon emissions since all they do is fly around the world holding useless meetings and writing useless reports.

We would certainly be at a disadvantage if Russia was able to copy rockets that constantly blew up shortly after launch.

A direct line between County Cork and Loudon VA does not go through the east coast of Maryland on a spherical earth, that was the only point I addressed. Even if you wanted to maximize how much is laid in the ocean as opposed to land, there are still shorter distances that would land you on at least in Delaware. While I am sure there are logistical reasons to do it where they are doing, that is irrelevant to my point.
