I agree, and as I keep trying to point out to people in the U.S., I'm pretty sure the reason Trump is not even giving GOP loyalists emergency disaster money when something happens in their state, is because there's nothing left.
He literally put all of America's eggs in one basket because he (and Peter Thiel) thought/think if they just deregulate everything and keep throwing money at it as fast as possible they will win, and other countries will be coming to us to buy our AI.
Tbf they are definitely planning to use it for evil, not to make humanity better, but I still don't see why anybody would buy AI tech from the U.S.
I am wondering what happened in Brussels though, that made them say they're considering some deregulation.
Trump was also very pissy at all of the EU but apparently Brussels in particular really hurt his ego
Germany. Italy. A bunch of EU states. Some African states. Who am I kidding? Capitalism rules the world, they're just extremely emboldened now. Globally, we need to wake up and show them they've overplayed their hand -- before we can't.
No what happened is that all of his backers want him to go after the EU because the EU is constantly suing American megacorps for breaking of local laws, and they don't like that.
Trump is just doing their bidding, he isn't actually angry at the EU, except because he has the vocabulary of a rather dim 8-year-old, everything is "nasty" and "evil" and "bad".
