I've been nerdsniped by the idea of Semantic IDs.

Here's the result of my training runs:
• RQ-VAE to compress item embeddings into tokens
• SASRec to predict the next item (i.e., 4-tokens) exactly
• Qwen3-8B that can return recs and natural language!

Some: EU is small.
Reality: EU has surpassed China as the second biggest economy globally.
We need to stop playing second fiddle to US, Russia, China, India & instead punch in our weight class being an equal superpower.
Need to #federalize EU to accomplish this.
