@Google What if you take a little time off from building one of the most powerful AIs in the world and FIX GOOGLE CHAT CALLS. And make a proper app while you're at it. geeeeez
Yesterday a quasi-judicial body in Italy fined @Cloudflare $17 million for failing to go along with their scheme to censor the Internet. The scheme, which even the EU has called concerning, required us within a mere 30 minutes of notification to fully censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal of European media elites deemed against their interests. No judicial oversight. No due process. No appeal. No transparency. It required us to not just remove customers, but also censor our 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver meaning it risked blacking out any site on the Internet. And it required us not just to censor the content in Italy but globally. In other words, Italy insists a shadowy, European media cabal should be able to dictate what is and is not allowed online.
That, of course, is DISGUSTING and even before yesterday’s fine we had multiple legal challenges pending against the underlying scheme. We, of course, will now fight the unjust fine. Not just because it’s wrong for us but because it is wrong for democratic values.
In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare’s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue that also threatens democratic values. And in this case @ElonMusk is right: #FreeSpeech is critical and under attack from an out-of-touch cabal of very disturbed European policy makers.
I will be in DC first thing next week to discuss this with U.S. administration officials and I’ll be meeting with the IOC in Lausanne shortly after to outline the risk to the Olympic Games if @Cloudflare withdraws our cyber security protection.
In the meantime, we remain happy to discuss this with Italian government officials who, so far, have been unwilling to engage beyond issuing fines. We believe Italy, like all countries, has a right to regulate the content on networks inside its borders. But they must do so following the Rule of Law and principles of Due Process. And Italy certainly has no right to regulate what is and is not allowed on the Internet in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Brazil, India or anywhere outside its borders.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!!!
@Dan_Jeffries1 I agree with everything you say... however, this will definitely bring us closer to AGI, as a bow and arrow brings you closer to a nuclear bomb. The question is: should we actually get AGI, isn't every fear of it ending all jobs not well founded? And also... how far off are we?
Just got off work and tried Grok-4 on an undergrad topology problem. It took 9 minutes to think and then confidently gave a clean, plausible, but totally wrong answer 😅
Don’t think this one qualifies as “skillfully adversarial.” AI models are crushing benchmarks — but still a long way ahead for real math AGI.
Dear @neiltyson I am very sad to inform you that I have found no legal way to watch Cosmos with my daughter from Central America.
Also no it’s not due to legal custody rights 😬

@manoloalvarez No, elementos es un pagebuilder, como DIVI y Oxygen. Entonces es uno u otro. Si queres mucho control, flexibilidad del diseño, y velocidad y performance del sitio Oxygen. Si queres facilidad y velocidad de uso DIVI. Elementor tiende a ser un caldo de problemas cuando lo usas mal
@manoloalvarez Aahhh… yo te puedo dar soporte en Oxygen o en Divi. Oxygen es mucho más versátil y flexible con una curva de aprendizaje más larga. Divi es muy fácil de usar y la versión 5 que viene hicieron complete rewrite y va a ser backwards compatible lo cual habla muy bien de ellos. 🫡
@pau_maldonadoo No puedes quemar lo que ya está quemado hahaha.
Protip solo pones una disputa del cargo en tu banco y al comprobar que el comercio no entrega te devuelven el dinero.
Por cierto creo que a ti te llegó mi base hahaha a mi solo el colchón hahaha 😂
@PumaRV @gunsnrosesgirl3 Los gringos siempre llevando todo al extremo están sembrando el árbol de naranja en su jardín de 3 hectáreas para luego cortarlo con un cuchillo que ellos mismos forjaron para ponerlo en un vaso de madera que ellos mismos tallaron 🤦♂️
O en McDonalds con vasito de micro plásticos
@PumaRV @gunsnrosesgirl3 Eso hace Europa muy bien y creo que es un excelente camino para un mejor futuro: la automatización y tecnología al servicio de una vida más natural y tranquila. La máquina para hacer jugo de naranja fresco me dejó 😦 y no entiendo por qué no hay en todo el mundo.
