Just a wild guess, but he’s trying to have conservative government use this?

Because no self-respecting academia, money-hungry corporation, or nihilistic teenager is going to use Llama spewing out “both sides” garbage.

So there’s still a 10% tariff across the board. It’s not going to kill the economy like the previous tariff, but it will still increase inflation and slow growth. Let’s see what happens.

It’s a niche market, but if someone wants total control, then you get a mainframe even if it costs more and is an inferior service to the cloud providers.

Easier to do when you have a Chinese market as a captive to subsidize your product.

That being said, Chinese tech won’t be better, but they will certainly be cheaper and it will eat into US tech’s marketshare.

Also keep an eye out for RISC-V (open source) architecture. Chinese gov’t is pouring billions a year to get away from x86 and ARM.

Probably start with energy security for EU. I see that as the biggest vulnerability, and the greatest return on public investment.

Wind, solar, nuclear, energy storage, heat pumps, electric vehicles, etc. Anything to reduce import of foreign hydrocarbons that’s vulnerable to supply shock like what we witnessed after Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Might not be a bad idea to collaborate with China, while also not being dependent on them.

Go read what Russians have said about hybrid warfare stretching back 20 years. Anything to destabilize perceived enemies are seen as legitimate.

Apple is cooked. Not only are they going to get decimated in China, but they are going to see demand destruction in the US due to tariffs. And neither Trump nor Xi cares about Apple.

They’ve been spending tens of billions a year in their chip industry.

All electronics are made in Asia. So there will be no higher prices for consumers in the EU.

US consumers will get hammered with anywhere from 25% to 55% price increase in electronics.

I was on the newly opened Thessaloniki (Greece) subway line and it was autonomous.

And I know Germany won’t be able to resist cheaper gas.

Highly contentious question, but Germany should bring conscription for everyone (including women) with the option of doing volunteer/civil service.

If EU really wants to hurt the US economy, then they need to start taxing/fining US tech service like Whatsapp, Netflix, Youtube, AWS, Microsoft Azure, etc.

There’s already an autonomous metro.

I’m going to state an unpopular opinion. Bluesky should have ads, not a personalized ads that track users, but just simple ones at the very top of the feed. Consumers today are too addicted to free services, and companies need to be financially independent so that they can support a quality product.

A good way to stop companies from abusing H1B is to make the visa portable with the worker for a set number of years. If the company is underpaying/overworking them, the worker on H1B can just skip town to another company without fear or deportation. This makes it not worth while for corporations to hire H1B when it costs money and time.

Still too many Tesla is sold in the EU.

I expect a bump in cars sold in the next few months as the new Model Y Juniper starts getting produced. You’ll know exactly who bought a Tesla in 2025.

Feasible, yes. Practical, hard to say. Good idea, yes.

RISC-V is open-source architecture based in Switzerland (although it started in University of California).

One thing going for it is China is spending billions a year towards RISC-V adoption so they do not get sanctioned by the US. You need money and engineers working on it towards these type of open source to compete with existing players.
