Sehr guter, überzeugender Beitrag! Auch der Verweis auf die historische Rolle der Städte bei der Migration ist wichtig. Größtes Problem bleibt die Sprache des Herrn M., mit seinen trüben Assoziationen sowie der aktiven Förderung des Ressentiments. Wer sagt ihm, dass er nicht mehr Opposition ist?

Today is the official UK publication day for Silicon Empires! I'm excited to have it out and hear what people think.
There's an enormous amount happening every day in AI, and it's difficult to gain a stable perspective. I wrote the book to try and get some secure hold on that constant flux. 🧵

Ein Gespräch von drei Hoover Historikern. Sehr interessant, sollte man sich in Deutschland anschauen, wenn man Aspekte der aktuellen US Situation verstehen will. Vor allem als Deutscher fühlt man sich an das konservative Bürgertum der frühen 1930er Jahre erinnert.
