Not only is he minimizing the active Russian threat in the region by joking about it, he basically says that resistance is futile.
So not only is Belgium apparently useless as an ally against Russia, it says to nations that exist precisely because of this resistance that they should give up.

I think the EU countries should collectively call the U.S. ambassadors to explain why the United States plans to undermine the EU like a hostile power.
Apparently it can always get worse. The full version of the new U.S. National Security Strategy, aptly named “NSC-1488” by the wags, calls for actively pulling Poland, Austria, Hungary and Italy from the #EU. And supporting far right.
US sides with Putin.

Jos tutkimustulos pitää paikkansa, se tarkoittaa, että ikärasisimia harjoittavat rasismin kohdetta nuoremmat ja tyhmemmät. Mutta luulisi, etteivät tyhmemmät onnistu syrjimään fiksumpiaan.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

If the United States is willing to extort with Starlink, assume AWS, Google, and Azure clouds are next.
Ukraine today, whose turn is it tomorrow?
Any US technology is now a liability.
We need European solutions as fast as possible.

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state.
Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence.
I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations."
Astonishing betrayal of an ally.

And to add, I’ve never ever seen anyone badmouth, ridicule, despise, and slander Finland, Finns, or our achievements so consistently and with such vitriol as our own self-proclaimed “patriots” do.
The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

Vaikka unohdettaisiin kuviosta NATO, Suomen olisi käytännössä mahdotonta pysyä erillään tästä, ja ellei unohdeta, täysin mahdotonta.
Trump plans to withdraw troops from the Baltics and parts of Western Europe - a key Putin demand - making former Soviet nations a prime target for Russian attacks, the FT reports.

Popper forgot to add ”quickly” before ”remove”. As it now turns out: a tragic omission.

Well put. Reminds me of Mauno Koivisto’s ”Russian Idea”
My problem with so called "good russians" is NOT that they fight putin's regime not hard enough.
Yes, it seems weird that 140 millions of people can't get rid of one senile psychopath even after three years of this pointless bloodbath he ordered.

”The metaphor of the brain as a computer is an increasingly inconvenient ficton, and it seems myopic to consider all this multiscale biological actvity as simply an enabling conditon for the right kind of computation.”
What are the prospects for AI that is, or irresistibly appears to be, conscious? Here’s a substantially revised version of my paper “Conscious artificial intelligence and biological naturalism” - many thanks to many folks for super-helpful comments osf.io/preprints/ps...

Nuo ruokintavolyymit ovat mitättömiä missä tahansa kontekstissa. Jos ongelma on kannan koko, keskustelun tulisi pysyä siinä, miten kannan koko saadaan ongelmattomaksi, ja mitkä keinot siihen ovat toimivia ja kelvollisia. ”Mijoonilla kiloilla” öyhötys on vain öyhötystä.
