Europe is told it regulates while others build. This week I told the Nordic and Baltic ministers of culture a different story. For small countries, shared data standards, neutral intermediaries and federated infrastructure don't hold competitiveness back. They are how we compete.

We can't out-scale the platforms. We can out-coordinate them
What I told the Nordic and Baltic ministers of culture about standards, neutral intermediaries and how small countries can compete in the platform economy.

1/25 Good morning - long thread as a lot has happened. CENTCOM has tied the destruction of Iranian tankers to imposing economic costs on Iran. That should concern anyone involved in commercial shipping. A merchant ship and the people aboard it are now being discussed as instruments of punishment.

While a lot of commentary focuses on candidates, they miss that extreme right voting runs deep in Saxony Anhalt. Its predecessor state Anhalt during the Weimar Republic was the first state governed by the NSDAP following the 1932 state election (41% of votes, in coalition with nationalist DNVP!).

The European Union has moved to restrict plant-based and cultivated foods from using certain meat-related terms such as “steak,” “bacon,” “chicken,” and “beef.” The official argument is that consumers might be confused. The real argument is that the meat industry is scared.

If Vegan Food Is So Weak, Why Is Big Meat Afraid of Its Words?
The EU’s attack on plant-based labels is not consumer protection. It is livestock protection disguised as public concern.

GenAI is a tech bubble of hype and absurdity. It runs on nothing but vibes and dollar signs in billionaire's eyes. But that's why we must resist it. We broke NFTs, we broke the Metaverse, we can break this nonsense too.
The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn't actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible.
