At the current rate, you can recognize a text being written with AI from the fact that it has more than one sentence of text by next year.

WSJ comments on the Finnish government's effort to stimulate the economy to fund the defense budget. I fully agree that the 52% top rate is too high, and I also agree that it is applied at a middle-class level income, capping Finland's potential to attract top talent to work in Finland.

The AI coding wars are heating up! Anthropic has dominated the AI coding space for the past year, so OpenAI decided to get involved to guarantee a seat in the contest. What do you think, will OpenAI be able to catch up?

Incredibly stupid, but true: With the tariffs,Trump has also made it too costly to manufacture anything for export purposes in the US.

Mikko Alasaarela @alasaarela.com · 07/04/2025

USA represents less than 15% of all exports from China. It is entirely possible that CCP uses this opportunity to end trade with the US and invade Taiwan. They will then also cut the supply of rare earths to US, creating massive damage in the process. Trump clearly doesn't know what he's doing.

Corsaren on X figured out how Trump came up with the tariff numbers. He simply called the US trade deficit with each trading partner a "tariff" to make the US tariffs look reciprocal. Notably, Russia did not get any tariffs.

Who would have thought that European countries have to issue travel warnings to the US due to citizens being detained on the border for their personal worldviews?

It's hard to fathom but it's becoming dangerous to visit the US. You may be detained at the border for no reason.

I've been thinking a lot about what might be the missing piece for the agentic AI. Which has led me astray from the key point @alasaarela.com seems to imply. The emergence of full AI agency is imminent. Too much money and time is spent trying to discover the missing bits, for it not to be.

How would the US presidency be different if a hostile power installed a Manchurian candidate to destroy the country and dismantle its status as the leader of the free world? I think the current one looks exactly like that.

Elon Musk has claimed he's a free-speech absolutist. In reality, he is not; he uses that term, in true 1984 fashion, to obscure his real goal of authoritarian control of the narrative. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

If we accept the American demand for Zelensky to give in to Trump or resign, the result is that Russia wins in both cases. They will win outright or through massive election meddling that ensues Zelensky's resignation. Europe can't accept Ukraine's capitulation. It would be a disaster.

It is becoming obvious that Elon is doing a hostile takeover of US government systems to be able to spy on everyone, and to run the country towards his personal goals simply by having admin level access and control to all Americans' data.

While we Europeans mourn Trump, Vance & Musk running the US as a vassal state of Russia, let's remember that the average Americans are still on our side and our friends. If Trump puts the 25% tariffs on EU, we should respond by sanctioning MAGA oligarch Musk and his oligarch peers.

Zelensky showed true leadership with courage. He didn't capitulate to bullying, he didn't accept the lies. He dared to defend a differing opinion with Trump. The fact that nobody in the republican leadership dares tells us a lot about the state of freedom in the US. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

Now we know for sure. Trump and Vance are on Putin's side, most likely against the wishes of the majority of Americans. Europe needs to make the necessary adjustments, ASAP.

Elon has already censored the Grok 3 question of who is the biggest misinformation spreader on X, but when you ask Grok to analyze the topic deeply, it still concludes that there's at least 80% chance that he's the biggest, with no named alternatives.
