.ml people will stand by people resisting the imperialism of one country, and then condemn people resisting the imperialism of another, and still won’t realize they are effectively nationalists.

If you don’t need accuracy, the Age of Sail beats this easily. This boy has 12 cannons, the Santísima Trinidad had 140.

A broadside must have been spectacular.

Why tho?

The thing is, it doesn’t use that much electricity for queries compared to training. So as always, this is squarely on the company, not users. By the way, we are wasting half of all energy going into running the internet on ads.

That sounds good. Trump might be an idiot, but here’s hoping he will fuck over Putin as much as he fucked over every other of the people he owed.

Are you from the Eastern EU?

It’s not like that. The EU invests insane, Marshall-plan amounts of money into its Eastern member states, and it very visibly goes into infrastructure. Even stuff that is stolen by corruption is just money that goes into shit nobody needs, but still gets.

Every second playgorund, every motorway and new line of rail, every scientific lab and every second pub has a big-ass sign next to it saying “Built for a kajillion Euros by the EU”.

Relations with the US are also independent from relations to Germany/France/the EU, especially since the US doesn’t like to deal with the entire EU at once, since they can’t flex their muscles as much. The US also doesn’t really understand it, look at the new chip restrictions cutting the free market zone in half. All that also goes for China by the way.

Russia is simply incapable of giving a better deal than the EU. It can’t afford and is not credible to even want to spend as much as the EU. Also, Estonian, Hungarian, Bulgarian and Polish are official languages in Brussels, would they also be in Moscow? It’s just not comparable. And nobody needs Russia to trade with China. In fact, the big BnR rail line China/Serbia/Hungary is doing - the one that sparked the current protests that might mean the fall of the Russia/China aligned Serbian government - specifically avoids Russia. Most of current Chinese trade actually is mediated by the Netherlands and Romania/Bulgaria.

All I’m saying is that from the Eastern European viewpoint, if the EU/US and China/Russia are both a bundle deal - I believe they are not - then everyone will choose the one that doesn’t have Russia in it. If it’s not, the US and China are not necessarily different as a trading partner.

The profit motive does. If AI gets efficient enough, you don’t need them to host it. Deepseek can run on a high end desktop GPU already.

It also opens up a big question, is US military tech and the US army as much better as they claim because of their funding, or is it overvalued by orders of magnitude as their AI tech seems to be?

Servers are much more secure when they are shut down.

This basically happened back under Biden, right?

So it could be a hallucination, or just the skew of its training data then?

Context? Did someone leak DeepSeek’s system prompt?

Morrowind was good in that respect with its power stealing egg-hatching demigods raping actual evil gods, then making a moon thrown at them by divine punishment and suspending it in the air, making it a prison for their political enemies.

There could be a very large number of small data hubs instead of one big one.

The problem with that is that anti-Russian sentiment is highest in the East, so there’s no way they will break off.

Also Russia is not China, they barely have anything to give in a trade relationship. Also, the Ukraine invasion is scrounging up bad memories in most of the member states, so there’s that.

In Hungary, arguably the country closest ideologically to Russia, EU membership has had a consistent 70-80% approval. They won’t break off.

Also, the EU is designed to protect EU business interests against international ones, so they will go where the money is, and under Trump, that may cease to be the US.

Or wanna bet it was some exec’s account who would have fired people for making his life inconvenient, but somehow now it’s going to be rogue engineers?

To be fair, they are doing it to themselves.
