  • Wait, let’s take a step back. There is no need to regulate immigration. If anything, I think immigration should be made a non-issue, and citizenship extended to anyone who’s within a country for more than a few months, refugees (economic, political, humanitarian) should receive special protective status, fortress Europa should be disbanded, and diplomatic ties to turkey should be rescinded (as it commits crimes against humanity to oppress and categorically suppress migration).

    So, yeah, the alternative is pretty easy to do, it just means the EU has to actually rescind its fascist history, instead of doing a liberal half-assed move that just makes it easy for fascists to resurge again.







  • No disrespect to you, but it is clear you don’t understand the technology well.

    Algorithms are, per definition, routine computations to perform a task. Even clicking on a link and then the browser requesting and displaying the page associated with it is an algorithm!

    And about (generative) AI: -They cannot be made energy efficient because generation (giving you a text or image) is incredibly energy consuming -You cannot build an AI without bias or discrimination, because all your training material has to be unbiased and without discrimination - and social progress means that we will continue to recognize previously unknown harms in society. AI can only be as unbiased as its most biased training material. And the amount of data you need for training is too high to be efficient to gather before training. -AI cannot be made to be accurate. It is definitionally impossible, because it is basically an extension of auto-correct - it can only predict the next likely word from a huge collection of data. Accuracy is never a part of the algorithm of AI. -In terms of public service, it would be better to point out above chatbots that they can only generate legibile text, all other aspects are secondary.

    So, in summary, what you suggest is technologically impossible, or at least misguided.


  • EU investing in AI is not a win, good, or anything desirable.

    AI is the worst “technology” to surface in a “post-fact” news, which helps proliferate fake news, misinformation, biased and propagandized talking points (i.e. pro-israel, anti-hong-kong-sovereignty, racism and transphobia…), kills jobs and undervalues labour in a cost of living and housing crisis.

    This investment is a signal saying that the EU will not be a union for its people, but for its elite and businesses. It’s an abdication of morals by EU politicians and governments.

    Do people not realise that von der Leyen is a right-wing fan of totalitarianism? What she supports cannot be good for us.






  • I think you’re right that they don’t need to be shipped through the US, but they most probably are and will be, and using other suppliers or logistics firms that don’t isn’t always cheaper, especially with large volume shipments. Otherwise, even if there are consoles in storage, the increase has to be targeted at a whole market to also partially stave off the tariff costs and to unify a market on its conditions.

    Also, Sony were the first to raise the prices for games beyond 60€.


  • I the US it’s mostly due to the fascist tariffs, no? Latin America has a similar issue, tho that’s because of the tax system in for example Brazil. Considering the financial situation in Argentina, hyperinflation may make price increases necessary.

    Sony, on the other hand, is known to raise prices, and may have been the pioneer of raising prices for their games and consoles. That’s why I didn’t care for them.



  • Using mono ulture as a word doesn’t change the meaning here. If anything, its a pathway for the foal you ascribe.

    I do give you credit about the second part - it would be better to have your own private key in chat apps, which isn’t handled by the app itself, at the very least to establish a shared key. I still think the existence of crypto is a massive boon to many, even in a “flawed” implementation with the “control” being on the side of corporations - tho if they are smart, they’d never store the keys themselves, not even hashes. Unless you’re part of the signal project, I doubt you know the exact implementation and storage of data they do.

    Still, thanks for summarising your lengthy post, even if I had to bait you into it. Sometimes, brevity is key.
