I remembered a moment before this war…
Whenever the Israeli army invaded my town, Beit Hanoun, my friends and I would run into the streets and throw stones toward the soldiers.
They fired bullets at us, while we had nothing but stones in our hands.
I knew that a stone was nothing compared to a weapon, but because it was my land… I felt that the stone was stronger than bullets.
That is why I never stopped.
We fought with whatever we had, throwing those stones as if we were defending everything we loved. 💔
@kimmonismus People seem to be pretty confident about their opinions regarding this topic. I don't know enough to talk about the details but I agree with what you say because it just doesn't feel like Europe is trying hard enough which they should..
What I still don’t understand is why Europe seems to have so little ambition to play any meaningful role in the future.
There is no convincing strategy to solve the energy problem. There is no serious push to build out European data centers so AI training and inference can actually happen on this continent. There is no clear plan to support the emergence of globally relevant European tech companies.
I genuinely don’t get it.
Yes, the European Commission is now trying to soften parts of the EU AI Act. But that seems to be almost the only meaningful concession being made to address what companies actually need.
I’m open to criticism and different perspectives here. But at this point, I honestly struggle to see how European policymakers intend to tackle the big structural problems ahead.
While China is building dozens of nuclear reactors, the United States is also investing heavily in nuclear energy, solar capacity is booming, and China is rapidly scaling energy storage, Europe’s approach still feels erratic, vague, and fundamentally unserious.
Woman shows her “coffee of the day”.
That “coffee” alone exceeds the amount of calories that should be consumed in an entire day.
This same lady used to make her “water of the way” and it was just straight packets of flavoring powder and sweet syrups. 🤮🤮
At a certain point, it is no longer coffee. You can’t claim to be a coffee lover while drinking terrible instant coffee and covering up the taste with sugar.

What if AI capabilities suddenly accelerated in 2027? How would the world know?
We developed a statistical framework that lets us detect capability accelerations from benchmark scores.
In simulations with synthetic benchmark data, we spot a 2× acceleration within 2-3 months.

🇺🇲 Tucker Carlson says he’s convinced the CIA created Bitcoin, and that’s exactly why he refuses to invest in it or use it.
He warns that Bitcoin will one day turn into a massive scam.
@CiberCafePaloma@sunnydecree Ich hatte über 2 Jahre keine Bitcoins und habe trotzdem "Werbung" dafür gemacht und meinen Freunden und Verwandten davon erzählt, weil ich wusste, dass Bitcoin einen extremen Mehrwert bietet. 2017 habe ich jedem geraten, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen. Und 2025 rate ich es dir...
@sunnydecree Werbung macht, wer Bitcoin hat, nicht weil Bitcoin für irgendetwas gut sind, sondern schlicht aus Profitgier, denn Kaufinteresse steigert den Kurs.
Es ist nicht die Überzeugung von Bitcoin, es ist nur die Gier.
Einen rationalen Grund gibt es nicht.
This is for everyone hyping the Ethereum "pump" right now. I don’t believe we’re heading into another full blown altseason. Maybe we’ll see some temporary outperformance vs. Bitcoin, but nothing like 2017. Humanity is stupid, but not that stupid. Thoughts?
Das unpersönlichste, unhöflichste, uninformativste und schlechteste Gespräch, das ich jemals am Telefon mit jemandem geführt habe, war mit der "Service" Hotline des #Rundfunk das mich noch dazu 20 Cent gekostet hat 😂
Danke!
What I still don't understand is the following:
Scientists and CEOs of the most important companies in the world say that:
-will cure all diseases in 5-10 years (Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis, Masayoshi Son, Sam Altman)
- in 1-3 years we will see 10%-20% unemployment (Dario Amodei)
-robotics will take over blue-collar jobs in a few years (Tesla, Figure, Unitree)
And people will either
- don't believe it
- they don't care
- they deliberately ignore it
Folks, these statements are made by people who certainly have a lot more knowledge about how their unpublished AI models they are developing; have projections that they don't publish; an armada of highly paid scientists who only do research on these topics, in short: the smartest people in the world.
And the majority simply ignore this. I don't understand it. Even Barack Obama, the Pope and really every important person says that everything will change very soon, rapidly, radically. And most people don't care at all. I don't understand it.
