Unfortunately, this is the new reality. Peter Thiel (like his buddy, musk) is yet another pro-apartheid South African "refugee" willing to pillage the country for his own ends, and it appears likely that he will be receiving many billions of dollars from the federal US government over at least the next 3.75 years for his efforts.

But they're taking away the homes of those poor rich white South Africans, says the US President, who banned all refugees except white South Africans.

The US actually likes having airbases in Europe. I don't think you have thought this through.

Ahh yes let's turn our backs on strong trading and military partners with a region of $20T GDP so we gain access to a singular trading partner with $2T GDP. Oh and people like you get to "feel better" about it.

I know right all we got was the opportunity to rebuild Europe as liberal democracies and create the most successful military alliance in history which led to an unprecedented period of peace in the European region, stable trading partners who we have traded trillions of dollars with, 40+ American military bases letting us project power across the region and the world and got to be the hegemon during the period of the most intense human advancement since we spawned from apes.

You don't give us money for NATO. You take it when we buy your weapons. Go fuck yourself with cruise missile.

Fortunately we have our own rich people here in Europe. Take a look at the Wallenbergs for example. They helped build up Sweden for 3 generations. And I wish them all the best for their transition to their fourth generation.

Also Europe seems poised to rule that you can't just steal all the copyrighted material you want and load it into your AI model.
I don't know about Europe but in America if we're going by the letter of the law every single one of these AI tools is violating copyright law. And doing it in the most flagrant way imaginable.
It doesn't even matter whether they apply a transformation or not they still have to store the data in their models and there's no getting away from that. Without the data they don't

Technically, copyright law relates to the reproduction and distribution of intellectual property, and creation of transformative works based thereupon, so it's not the training of the AI model that's violating copyright - only potentially, certain forms of output. You really have to think of it in terms of what would a human be allowed to do with the access to the same volume of IP and the ability to instantly recall it.
Of course, the copyright cabal is certainly going to argue for an interpretation of cop

Palintir is the engine behind the push-button government every autocrat dreams of: Palintir has a name for their one-dictator-runs-everything system, "ImmigrationOS". This is the point of DoGE: Well the point was that Musk makes the engine and steals everything for himself and his boyfriend. But the government he's trying to own is out-sourcing the work to Palintir. Hence, the fascination with IRS and Social Security: It's where all the money and all the data is, so both DoGE and Palintir want it.
