A lot of Greenlanders don‘t want rare earth mining. Especially not when it‘s foreign companies doing it. They‘ve been lining up for years to get permissions. The Americans are hardly the only ones here.
I imagine it‘s mostly the usual complains about kebab prices and right wing topics. They‘re not actually serious about leaving. It‘s your usual all talk no bite.
Another thing are some people who migrated perhaps. Germany has become a much less welcoming, open and progressive country as of late. Some of them could leave and contribute to society somewhere else if the radical right keeps being normalized here.
I think Germans who complain a lot about Germany lately do this either out of habit at this point or they really have no idea about the economic situation on a global scale. Things aren‘t going much better anywhere else. At least not for people like me and you.
If all those stories from China from the last decade are true then science has already moved to China long ago. But it hasn‘t. Really makes you think, doesn‘t it?
The overwhelming majority of their so called breakthroughs are just media fluff pieces though. Their sources are more and more often AI generated studies and their supposed advancements aren‘t going anywhere a lot of the time. By the time people start asking questions and want to know more details they have already prepared another story for you to be impressed by. It‘s shock and awe.
„Just compete with human rights violations bro. What‘s the matter bro? Can‘t even do a little slavery on an industrial scale? Stop clinging so much to democracy bro. Freedom isn‘t doing you any good man! Try harder bro!“
You’re not really thinking this through, are you? Your old hardware will deteriorate eventually. And believe me keeping an Oldtimer up running becomes increasingly expensive with fewer and fewer spare parts.
Unfortunately this fascist controls the mightiest military force this planet has ever seen. The only people who could realistically stop an invasion after Trump orders it are US generals themselves.
The way I see it, if you want to play video games you will have to be happy with cloud gaming slop or buy some obscure GPUs, SSDs and RAM from Chinese companies you have never heard of. The days of Nvidia and AMD for end consumer products are soon over. They don‘t care about us. I hate this development but it is what it is.
They already have a military base on Greenland. Not to be disrespectful but how do people not realize US military is already everywhere on the globe? This is not about missiles.
Far right voters don‘t actually listen to what politicians say. It sounds weird because they‘re so radicalized but they legitimately lack the ability to listen. Most of them don‘t even try.
I genuinely do not know how that would change anything. It‘s already monetized thoroughly. They will just add even more ad campaign quests and stuff which you can ignore.
That‘s what I keep arguing for years. It‘s not so different from printing out frames of a movie, then scanning them again and claim it‘s a completely new art piece. Everything has been altered so much it‘s completely different. However it‘s still very much recognizable with extremely little personal expression involved.
Oh, but you chose the paper and the printer, so it‘s definitely your completely unique work, right? No, of course not.
AI works pretty much the same. You can tell what protected material the LLM was fed by the output of a given prompt. The theft already happened when the model was trained and it‘s not that hard to prove, really.
AI companies get away with the biggest heist in human history by being overwhelming, not by being something completely new and unregulated. Those things are already regulated but being ignored. They have big tech and therefore politics to back them up, but definitely not the written law in any country that protects intellectual property.
Or why they exist in the first place. Takes a village to make Epstein Island.
