@francoisfleuret I get that this is a joke, but the literal reading almost says something true. When you, or a calculator, reads "2+2=4", it gets embedded in a larger causal model that can parse numbers and do arithmetic. LLMs don't have that causal model, as proven by inputting OOD strings
English
Listen. There are two sorts of bits: The one coming from understanding, like if *I* write "2+2=4", this string is encoded in u-bits, understood-bits, good stuff.
Whereas ChatGPT writing "2+2=4" produces a string of fs-bits, aka fancy-statistics-bits. Which are crap.

@DaxMister @LuytenGliese @EP_President @RobertaMetsola @Europarl_EN @Europarl_FI There has been no war between EU member states after they became members. It's unprecedented in European history. I don't want to have to fight with Germans or Swedes ever again. And in the past we lost every fifth, maybe every third person to wars with them. That was evil.

@Isinlor @Bjorn_Wigforss @LuytenGliese @EP_President @RobertaMetsola @Europarl_EN @Europarl_FI Moral obligation? There is no moral obligation to defend evil. I would gladly betray the EU, because opposing the EU is a moral obligation.
Death to the EU!

Thank you for your service to our Europe.

@Draren_Thiralas @JesseKNL Because you and vast majority of people will prefer to die later than sooner. It's that simple. If you attack the man in front of you, you will die. If you comply, you may survive.

@ohabryka Not totally, just mostly... Like willingly causing 1 million casualties on his nation. Also, Putin himself does not subscribe to your view about the assassination of foreign leaders. He just failed at it. With Ukraine repeatedly.

The single most important reform needed, the rest will follow.
But it's not so simple as her deciding. It's either treaty change or passerelle clauses that can still be vetoed by members parliaments.
I'm sceptical.

I refuse to accept threats of genocide as a tool of everyday geopolitics.
But it very clearly is what is happening in USA.
EU must forbid USA military presence here. And demand restoration of USA as a republic where one man can not credibly threaten erasure of a civilization.

Even if his today's threats of genocide are brinkmanship, for that alone he should be removed from power.

@dpinsen @eugyppius1 It makes 0 sense to ally with countries that want us destroyed and subjugated since time memorial. Every other month I hear about nuclear Holocaust of Poland from Russian politicians. If Russians decided to become democracy then maybe - we are allies with Germany and Sweden.
English
@eugyppius1 It would make sense for both Europe and the U.S. to get along with Russia (more so for you guys), but there seems to be a lot of institutional resistance to that here and in Europe.
English
@MartinSkold2 @DanielMOrnelas The most useful stuff early in the full scale invasion was Polish upgraded Soviet armour which Ukraine put to use in Kharkiv and Kherson counteroffensives.
English
@DanielMOrnelas I donโt know that it ever really did. Blue Europe sent stuff, but the most useful stuff was US missiles, and they ended up building their own drone and munitions industry.
Reason I think Eastern Europe just gets to manage itself.
English
They might take the Baltics. They wouldnโt have to โconquerโ Europe (the country of) though, because the EU would just work with it.
People forget that this was the plan all along, as illustrated by Nordstream - it took the 2022 Ukraine invasion for Europe (the country of) to even pretend to care.
Germany sent some helmets in lieu of flowers, Estonia laundered Russiaโs oil, and members of the EU Parliament were asking when business as usual could return. And somebody who -definitely- wasnโt Europe (the country of) had to blow up Nordstream so they wouldnโt negotiate to turn it back on.
The risk at this point for all concerned is simply that the mask will slip.
Philippe Lemoine@phl43
Imagine being so clueless that you think Russia would be able to "conquer Europe" if US troops evacuated their bases on the continent. Once again, the problem with Americans is that, like many people, they are high on their own supply.

@MartinSkold2 After 12 years of war they still did not manage to take Baltic's size territory from Ukraine.

Nearly 12 years into this war, Russia still hasnโt occupied territory in Ukraine even the size of the Baltic states: 116k kmยฒ vs 175k kmยฒ. In 2025 Russia's gains were under 3% of that. Their Soviet stocks are gone. They can make our life miserable, but they can't win against us.

@andrei_no_no @SariArhoHavren No, we should kick out Americans. We don't need another Russians treating us like vassals.

In the Telegraph interview, Trump said: "I am strongly considering pulling out of NATO."
and โI was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way."
Trump considering leaving NATO is no news, but that he brings out Putin in this context is.
English
@Kurtbelgard @MartinSkold2 Russians are revisionist fallen empire. And USA is making backroom deals with Russians about what air assets we can station in Poland and presents it to us and Ukrainians as ultimatum. I thought USA was our ally in persuing liberty but USA is not even a reliable weapons supplier.
English
I donโt have a corroborating source, but this would track - Western Europe in particular wants out. (Spain also reportedly just did this.)
One reason for keeping NATO around was power projection into the MidEast - that may become a moot point. And conversely, if the reason for that power projection was to defend a US-Europe-Gulf consensus that is breaking downโฆit may not matter.

@Kurtbelgard @MartinSkold2 Russians are 100% threat to our way of life. Writing this from Poland in range of Russian artillery. But we don't need USA to defend us from them. Russian economy is smaller than Spain and Portugal combined. We are giving petty money to Ukraine and Russia is reaching WWI losses.
English
@MartinSkold2 Russia is no longer on a mission to subjugate the world to communism and so isn't a threat to our way of life. We don't have so much of a direct interest in defending Europe from Russia anymore. Islam wants to take over the world but Europe isn't even resisting.

@libfederalist @pl_european Then you will have to start killing us, because Greenland is under our defence. And yes we will side with China if you threaten us, our way of life and our sovereignty, while China does not. Even a child ought to understand it.
English
@pl_european Why would we be your strategic partner? We would need Greenland for our defense. Many do your politicians have already openly said Europe will ally with China against America.
English
Perhaps it is time for Europe and the USA to part ways. A European alliance instead of NATO, would be the best solution. The US would still remain our main strategic partner, and we theirs. But lately what weโre seeing is US egoism, and all we do is release statements about it.
