A self-taught software engineer (my next job was in fact cyber 🩰) l relocated to Brussels 🇬🇧🇪🇺 and between changing nappies, not learning French, being woken up at strange hours, l spend time learning about heterodox economics. The usual caveats apply
I am sure it is a super clever ploy to ensure that Russia doesn’t have the opportunity to learn and adapt to our legions of hunter killer pigeons and our other highly effective counter drone tactics which would be useful in a hot war.

Euroclear is HQ’d in Belgium and is the custodian for a load of Russian assets. If there is any legal blowback / retaliation it is likely to be directed at Belgium and they are feeling more exposed

OpenAI now has a data residency option to make it more attractive to businesses. From what l have read so far it is still lagging Microsoft Data Boundary which you can apply at tenant level and covers interoperability with other Microsoft applications, and gives you finer control on processing

GDP equation is now apparently:

GDP = C + G + I + NX - RT

With RT = red tape.

Given current market power in the upstream AI market, those providers would be able to capture most of this additional value through increased licensing fees. This would effectively create a funnel through which UK wealth, productivity and consumer surplus is syphoned off to US tech companies.

Would you say that the piece you’re referring to is this one and that I’m needlessly trying to think of an excuse to reply to you so I can gain possibly one or two subscribers by linking to it in the comments to this post?
