Europe is indeed the third largest economy in the world, but EU is the global leader in trade.

Seems like EU has no problem issuing fines to major American IT companies.


If they haven’t, they don’t count in Europe anyway.


I agree, it’s a game of minimizing the damage. But at some point, there may be a desire to teach Trump a lesson.
According to game theory, you definitely need to shut the bully down thoroughly at some point. We have not done that yet. Even if we are the weaker party, we need to do this:

Losing patience IMO is the point where we take the lesson from game theory, and do something to retaliate that harm USA and Trump.
In this case, what game theory dictates is also occurring as a natural human trait. But it takes courage.


I am sure those researchers have great personalities. But they should stop being so negative about their research.
People are tired of all the bad news and negative spin, they should be way more positive and optimistic about it.
-Don’t look up!


AFAIK it has actually been suggested that EU could drop American patents, to create a competitive IT infrastructure without USA.
I suppose copyright could be a logical follow up.


Unfortunately the EU has no say
Actually we do, when Trump last time threatened EU, EU suspended the ratification process of the trade deal, and Trump IMMEDIATELY pulled back.
EU has lots of options to retaliate against USA, for instance tax on American IT services is a very high ranking one.
Just Denmark alone supply 70% of insulin to USA. And handles 30% of container cargo to USA. This was revealed recently because of Trump threats against Greenland, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
USA is far from as independent as they like to pretend, they have dependencies even on a tiny country like Denmark of only 6 million citizens.
EU has given many admissions to USA under Trump, but patience is running out.


By the logic of the old testament of the Bible, wouldn’t the Jews have a right to the entire earth?


Which was the purpose of Elon Musk buying it all along.
The algorithms are fucking designed specifically for that purpose!


Republicans hold a majority in both houses, so you are wrong and the poster you responded to is right.
Yet people here upvote you who are wrong, and downvote the poster who was actually right. 🤡
The Dems do NOT have the power to stop Trump.


Dems have decided to just allow Trump to destroy himself.
Too bad he takes the country with him.


I would recommend Linux also for people who can run Windows 10 or 11.


all professional tasks” being done by AI. Most tasks that involve “sitting down at a computer” will be fully automated by AI within the next year or 18 months,
So does that include working in AI? In 18 months we will have the AI program itself?
Quite the blanket statement, and as always with blanket statements, they are probably false.
Of course it could be true to a lesser degree, like maybe 20%, but “ALL” is ridiculous.


The existence of nutcases in Hungary is in no way a sign that EU is “inviting” it in, even if some religious nutcase backs it up.
This is not a trend, but purely anecdotal.


speakers openly defended Uganda’s anti-homosexuality law
I seriously doubt that, also weird it doesn’t which speakers said what.


And has bigger population, but way lower economy.
With everything comparable like cars, China is now by far the biggest market in the world.
https://oica.net/sales-statistics/
China is twice what USA is, and 6 times India.


“Good enough”
Here “Good enough” matches the quality of most car brands and AFAIK surpasses Tesla.
To get quality like BMW or Mercedes, is probably only a matter of the automation being more expensive, there is no reason to think for instance Xiaomi couldn’t make higher quality automated assembly on more expensive cars.
Tesla assembly sucks, I have often heard reviewers complain about noises you wouldn’t find in way cheaper European cars.


Kudos for mentioning Xiaomi, they recently showed off their newest car factory, and it’s insanely highly automated, with workers basically only doing quality control!
China is probably the new masters of mass production, which I suppose is natural considering they have a home market of 1.4 billion people, they can invest in mass production for China only, and have a scale that is 4 times the scale of USA!
No country has ever had such a massive home market before China, and I think it’s a huge advantage for China regarding mass production.
No game theory account for such scenarios too. The ones not playing by the rules are normally psychopaths and the like, so game theory is about handling that type of scenario when the normal rules no longer apply. It’s not just about simple greed, people brake the rules for various reasons. Psychopaths like Trump and the White House, simply feel more entitled, and they need to be shown very clearly that it will not be accepted.
We absolutely need to respond to Trump according to game theory, because you can’t control him by throwing him a cookie from time to time, he will always come back for more until he is stopped. The exact same as with Putin, despite they are different psychologies.
Trump is a bully because he thinks he can get away with it. When he is shown he can’t, he is most likely a coward if he think there are consequences. This is also how he gets the TACO nickname.
