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?

It’s like the more popular social democracy is becoming in USA, the more Democrats pull away from it.
They are trying to get some of the Republican vote, and by that they are failing as untrustworthy, and without real political goals and values.

That said, Democrats are still the lesser evil, and with only 2 options, that’s where Americans have to go for now.

Paywall

Being right wing supporting wall street and the 1% more than the general population is not moderate.
USA has 2 right wing parties, where one is extreme and the other only less extreme.
By European standards the real moderates are the left democrats like Bernie and AOC etc.

No it wasn’t. Czechoslovakia became Communist through a political coup.

1948 Czechoslovak coup d’état:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Czechoslovak_coup_d’état

This happened because Czechoslovakia was invaded and controlled by an authoritarian regime.

Not true, that is mostly one dictator replacing another. Democracies turning authoritarian is not common since the fascists and Nazis pre WW2.
And Nazism taking over in Germany was a pretty violent affair, and far from merely winning an election.

It’s not illegal if there are no consequences.

They should be SLAMMED for using that term.

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.

China is twice what USA is, and 6 times India.
