I think about this speech a lot.

I hope we will still understand what he said, once geopolitics re-enters a state of relative stability again, in a few years or decades.

We really shouldn't be doing this again and again.

With social media, we should have learned that "give people what they want" can take a dystopian turn.

With AI, we are speed-running the repetition of the same mistake.

Either do not use AI at all, or use it to feed your curiosity.
DO NOT USE AI TO FEED YOUR LAZINESS.

Working on "self-improving, step-wise autonomous agent" augmented generation.

For me this started to actually work with Gemini 2.5 Pro preview models.

Told the agent to develop interests of their own with learning goals and learning tasks.

It came up with these:

It seems reasonable that Musk's support for the AfD is nothing more than one of Putin's tentacles twitching to advance the goal of separating Germany from the EU.

Let's see what the American news-cycle makes of this.

Especially if it is true that Musk is trying to suppress it.

My agentic AI theoretical physics researcher thinks this hypothesis is "Supported (Subject to degeneracies)":

"The shape of the GW power spectrum from a FOPT can distinguish between source mechanisms (bubbles, sound waves, turbulence) and constrain FOPT parameters."

Any idea if that makes sense?

Look at the human and shout until your wishes are fulfilled.

So the USA now sends people, without any due process, to a modern Salvadorian concentration camp?

And there are cases appearing where even the evidence for gang membership is completely bullshit?

WTF American friends ... this is beyond not OK ...

What's next? How far will this go?

The outcome of a phone-call between Trump and Putin will largely depend on the Trump's interpreter.

I would love to know the details.

Will the interpretation into English come from the Russian side directly, or will that interpreter be on the American side of the call?

"Zelenskyy doesn't have the cards."
"Putin doesn't have the cards."

Trump plays Solitaire and is proud to have ALL the cards.

The timeline changed, but otherwise this still stands.
My daily dose of hopium.
It is either this ... or a very bleak future for us all.

Without this switcheroo, Europe might be too slow.

Ukraine is the only country (not by choice) that is truly all-in for a save and free Europe at the moment.
I don't think this is more than hopium, but theoretically Trump could pull a massive switcheroo victory in Ukraine:

1. Next week Europe announces massive aid package for Ukraine, making the Trump-Putin pact obsolete

2. Trump takes credit and continues support for Ukraine

3. Putin is fucked

Remember JD Vance making those comments on freedom of speech in Europe?

Seemed puzzling to me at the time.

Now I am pretty sure that was the US tech oligarchy speaking, as a first step towards using the US government to challenge EU regulations.

Our dependence on US big tech needs to end ASAP.
March 8, 2025 at 10:13 PM
If we (🌍) want to put pressure on the US regime, we have to move away from US Big Tech.

They have influence on Trump.

And this would be wise to do now ... on our terms ... so that our reliance on these products can't be used against us later.

Understanding Trump's obsession with tariffs is easy:

He can impose them unilaterally. That's all.

For him this is the tool he can use to make national and international leaders of industry grovel at his feet and be forced into deal-making.

The war, the geopolitical uncertainty and the new arms race started by Putin have left Europe with no choice. Europe must be ready for this race, and Russia will lose it like the Soviet Union 40 years ago. From today, Europe will arm itself more wisely and faster than Russia.

France withdraws support from the colonies in the middle of fighting and makes formal declarations in support of the Brits.
