@lexi_lambda @ssw_conf Glad to see you're back from your break from programming languages!

@HuubBellemakers @wierdduk Interessant dat door dat nationalistische voetbalgedoe het racisme nog onverbloemder naar voren komt

@jjvpeperstraten Ik voel mijzelf niet in staat om de oordelen of deze verandering een goede of een slechte zaak is. Dat kan snel hoogmoedig worden

[Robert Goené @rgoene]

@jjvpeperstraten Kan het zijn dat uw weerzin denkt hiermee gelijk te krijgen? Ik kan niet in zijn hoofd kijken, maar ik kan mij voorstellen dat Paul de Leeuw de filmpjes niet online wil hebben omdat de culturele context en de normen zijn veranderd.

@Grady_Booch @DarioAmodei I actually think the negation is more likely: we will need more software engineering with all these unhinged code generators around. And many people will understand this, without knowing software engineering

[Robert Goené @rgoene]

@Grady_Booch @DarioAmodei Agree. I do think it will take some more explanation than merely saying they don't understand. People like Eric Schmidt are telling the same story and they very well know better

“There’s a big crowd of people who really, really want AI success stories. And then there’s an equal and opposite crowd of people who want to dismiss all AI progress. And what we have is a very complicated and nuanced story in between.”

@S_VanTeutem Ja, dat bedoel ik dus. Een té goede reactie

[Robert Goené @rgoene]

Ik ben er nog niet geheel van overtuigd dat @S_VanTeutem geen AI is.. Het concept is té af

[Robert Goené @rgoene]

@S_VanTeutem @AnthropicAI Indeed! We have all kinds of tax optimization schemes that you would like. Also, we have this thing called 'moral ambition'. The education level, however, is a bit of a problem. But then again; we only need a few skilled people, right?

Merkwaardig commentaar op Carney's speech: hij spreekt juist over het wegkijken met zijn 'useful lie' die niet meer werkt, niet de 'rules based order' die er opeens niet meer zou zijn. Misschien toch nog een keer de speech bekijken.

@FrontaalNaakt Is wel waar; betekent niet dat ze daarom minder over zichzelf praten

[Robert Goené @rgoene]

daar valt de langdurige GGZ ook nog eens buiten: https://t.co/puVGwvk8Mg

wow.. de kosten voor de GGZ zijn hoger dan de huisartsenzorg https://t.co/puVGwvk8Mg

🇨🇦 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told the World Economic Forum at Davos that the U.S.-led “rules-based international order” is finished and “will not return.”

“For decades, countries like Canada benefited from what was called the rules-based international order,” Carney said. “We joined its institutions. We praised its principles. We benefited from its predictability.” But, he added, “we knew the story… was partially false.”

“The strongest would exempt themselves when convenient,” Carney said, arguing that “trade rules were enforced asymmetrically,” and “international law applied with varying rigor depending on the identity of the accused or its victim.”

“We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.”

That “pleasant fiction,” he states, no longer works. The new world is one where economic integration and financial infrastructure are openly used by hegemons—hinting at the United States—as “weapons” for “economic coercion.”

Carney rejected reliance on bilateral deals with dominant powers. “When we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness,” he said. “This is not sovereignty. It is the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.”

Instead, he called for “values-based realism,” urging middle powers to act together and build a third path that is not a “world of fortresses,” but partnerships with partners with shared standards.

If you are not at the table,” Carney said, “you are on the menu.” His remarks were met with a rare standing ovation in the room.

In response to the new Trump tariffs on Europe--if they stay.

Most countermeasures the EU has considered are costly for the US, but also costly for the EU... Be it export restrictions on pharmaceuticals, higher digital taxes on non resident firms, etc. They should definitely be considered, but one must realize that they would involve some pain.

One measure I can think of however, which could be announced now and implemented relatively quickly, and would be good for the EU, is the creation of a deep eurobond market, reducing dollar dominance. https://t.co/vLMaiwpOIZ

It can be done, at little political cost, with benefits for the EU, and costs for the US. (It is worth doing anyway, but announcing it now would show that Europe has some cards to play and is willing to play them)

@FrontaalNaakt Belangrijker: horkengedrag in een priveapp is toch wat anders dan een herhaaldelijke uitspraak in de publieke sfeer

[Robert Goené @rgoene]

@FrontaalNaakt well played @hugologtenberg !

[Robert Goené @rgoene]

@FrontaalNaakt Waarom het nieuwswaardig is dat Wijers dezelfde voorkeur heeft voor een coalitie als Jetten is mij ook niet duidelijk. Dat Wijers in privéberichten blijkbaar een hork kan zijn is dat ook niet. De damage control van de hoofdredactie en ombudsman maakt het niet beter...
