@Right_Winger91 How would you know Europe is "fucked" when you live in ugly suburbs in Florida?

The UK commentariat will spend this week deluded about the Anthropic situation. “It’s just Trump.” “It’s a one-off.” “We can build our own.” “We don’t want or need crappy American AI anyway.” None of it holds up.

US has been using AI as a geopolitical lever since 2022. Chip controls, model weight restrictions, Chip Security Act embedding trackers directly into hardware, and now model restrictions. The direction of travel is clear.

The UK has four AI Growth Zones, two without delivery partners, and OpenAI paused its Stargate UK data centre in April. Powering a data centre here costs four times what it does in the US. It is illegal to build LLMs that could compete with Claude because we cannot train models in the UK under our copyright laws. The idea we will build our own infrastructure under business as usual is unrealistic.

We need to adopt. We need the productivity gains. Debt servicing costs are at historic highs, the tax burden is already at a 70-year peak, and the OBR’s long-run projections assume some productivity recovery. If professional services (the one sector generating real trade surplus) gets automated away by American AI while UK firms lag on adoption, the fiscal math becomes genuinely dire.

Under current trajectories, we will arrive late, dependent on foreign infrastructure, with no domestic capability and no leverage.

Nobody is taking this seriously enough and I’m feeling despondent.

@cavemanloverboy nah as a European I'm fucked.

open source at the frontier makes no sense - the only reason open source models are open source is because they can't compete on quality so they remove price and aim for distribution

[GoKanni @GoKanni1]

@natolambert this is such an incredibly low IQ take

BREAKING: @anza_xyz Head of Research @TheWattenhofer and his co-authors have received the 2026 Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing for their 2011 paper “Distributed Verification and Hardness of Distributed Approximation.”

[GoKanni @GoKanni1]

bit disappointing/uninteresting reading that solana founder yapping 24/7 about socialism and capitalism - seems to be a trait of 1st generation diaspora to constantly project the issues of their original nation onto America

ML theory is fun but the majority of what goes into pushing the frontier is cobbling together a bag of tricks that would make most people’s stomachs churn

Very saddened to hear of the passing of John C. Hull, whose book Options, Futures and Other Derivative Securities was a foundational text in finance. I purchased the second edition (the first of many editions I would buy) in a mall bookstore decades ago. Liar’s Poker showed me what trading was, and Hull’s book was my first practical resource on how to do it. In today’s world of massively available educational resources it’s difficult to express how critically important the text was at the time. And still is.

@MeehanLee @DamianConnor @indykaila lol about "and?" - ungrateful fan, as if any manager can just walk in first year and wrap up the league

"The standard of shitness", almost like ur forgetting the league place finishes under Klopps first seasons: 5th, 8th, 4th, 3rd, 4th. wasn't always sunshine under Klopp

[GoKanni @GoKanni1]

smh - Solana people complain about politics on timeline when it's anti Republican but frothing at the mouth to criticize an Democrat from *checks notes* almost a decade ago

[toly 🇺🇸 @toly]

The world is brain dead. Obama gave Syria to Russia, and Russia took Crimea and Iran started the ring of fire strategy. A single geopolitical error that resulted in 2 million dead.

[GoKanni @GoKanni1]

@GrimLothar @JesusMartinez @w3_surfer @toly they cancelled support to create demand for Seeker.

nothing to do with fast iteration

their failing was that they didn't think of a way to get continued fees from saga - they should have put their own wallet on saga with fees (or white label a wallet)

[GoKanni @GoKanni1]

@SaraForTexLege if everyone voted in their own interest, then just by numbers the party that appeals to the masses should win.
it's a shame that Democrats fail to communicate that their policies favour the bottom 50% (socioeconomic status).

[GoKanni @GoKanni1]

@mert literally could have just taken a multivitamin a couple times - didn't need a blood test for that bro

[Nitesh @niteshnath]

I am 100% convinced that the world has not yet realized how incredible it is that a single unified system can host interoperable perps, spot, prediction markets, and memecoins

Solana 2026 is going to bring some incredible apps to market

[GoKanni @GoKanni1]

@mert prediction markets are options markets - it's crazy impressive they've gained massive uptake on chain.
Open up the space of who can create markets and I'm sure you'll see more traditional option contracts flood the space

[GoKanni @GoKanni1]

@howdymerry @Austin_Federa this was a nice argument winning point from @howdymerry: the existence of sucesful Chinese startups/ tech corps provides empirical proof that the brightest and best people can want to contribute to an economy even if the govt have claim over any wealth / company they create.

[GoKanni @GoKanni1]

@CapitalMonet cut their fees - their service will be commiditized unless they constantly innovate or compete on price. A consequence of open markets with no regulatory capture and less bureaucracy is that it's harder to build moats

[GoKanni @GoKanni1]

@thekitze *incomplete take

[GoKanni @GoKanni1]

@levelsio you think your grandparents wanted to dig peat? 🤔 If Europe' society has moved towards better social programs which class of people do you think wanted that change?

Also, *even if* everyone hustles capitalism is such that WEALTH CONCENTRATES, INEQUALITY PROLIFERATES
