Human-in-the-loop is already becoming 'Human-in-the-way' - and we're either going to switch to 'always approve' the AI output in order to not be the problem or the work gets re-routed around us anyways. Hard to see how to avoid this, or indeed, whether this is a real problem or really a matter of humans unwilling to let go

probably not - there are too many compradors in the Europe. The only truly Gaullist leaders are somehow also MAGA-tards, who are in their own way Atlanticists at heart.

All hail Chinese overcapacity?

decentralised energy generation is going to be the way developing economies leap over more advanced ones. Same thing happening in South Africa, can't rely on the national grid, so everyone installs solar, batteries and diesel generators for backup. The outcome is a much more resilient grid energy system. Future is literally bright

this project needed Muammar Qaddafi in place to succeed, but Hilary Clinton wanted him killed, and that was that

he's pretty interested in destroying 'the ccp'

this is a good move by China, hopefully its the end of the line for hidden door handles for EV's everywhere. Some things are cool but impractical; others are cool but dangerous.

the bilateral deals signed means we (the world, minus the US) is already divided. Got to scrap those deals first, which isn't going to happen. The shark has scattered the shoal and we're all going to get picked off - perpetually signing worse deals, then having to renegotiate again before signing ever worse terms.

The world should've collectively recognised what Liberation Day was and responded together, in lock step, and in kind.

Instead, the Europeans caved, Japanese caved (PM resigned after doing so), Republic of Korea caved (PM resigned after doing so), India of course caved and so on, shattering any prospect of collective action which might pull the rogue hegemon back into line.

Now, the US is simply able to renege or renegotiate the bilateral deals whenever he feels like it, forcing the other party to face down the US by themselves - not many can do this, maybe only China. Anyways, I wish the Canadians well and I hope they gain global support

and those young American's would be right.

AI's impact on employment is less directly replacing a human worker one to one, but suppressing hiring demand by providing potential employers with a plausible alternative to increasing headcount. This is disproportionately impacting early entry hiring as the ramp up time to productivity for inexperienced workers is today too long for companies to willingly invest for.

salaciousness of this story should not detract from the main theme of how the privileged few have access to privacy, whilst everyone else has to submit to surveillance

We hear a lot about what is or isn't a democracy but the reality is that very few countries today would ever be above the bar set. Even Athenian democracy wouldn't, as it was a demos of the male citizens only, supported by a large slave class.

What is more important is: is it working? And if not, why not?

to be fair to Trump, he does respond to corporate lobby - Pichai just got to make a phone call and an EO will be rolling out in short order. This is not because Gogole controls Trump, it is simply that Trump is a nationalist and will defend US companies, he just needs to be reminded to do so

EU regulatory apparatus is maybe only part of the EU which is operates without obsequiousness to the US; on the one hand, this is necessary assertion of sovereignty, on the other you fear for the wider collateral damage which will inevitably ensue. Trump gonna respond to this with an escalation for sure
