you obviously think that. Based on nothing but what you wish to believe.

As I said, anyone that watched the whole video and accepted that this was a man that has Asperger’s and can be awkward projecting and controlling and containing excitement and emotions would reasonably come to another conclusion.

It’s fairly amusing that someone who fiercely defended individuals with ADHD, because he was diagnosed with it, against those that dismissed it as bollocks and an excuse for bad behaviour in children.

Will happily accuse another neuro-diverse individual with a condition as being “deliberately ambiguous”………….very telling, and I thank you for it.

I thought the Greenland stuff was just Trump putting on a show but he seems pretty determined to get it.

Hopefully, though if Canada and Greenland become the 52nd and 53rd States of the US, we’ll be the 54th! At least we will then be on side…

Yeah, but we wanted our sovereignty and not to be ruled by other countries (remember? :confused:)
Maybe Greenland, unreasonably, wants the same.

Well, not the bureaucratic EU, anyway!

It will end with a compromise that will ensure that the US can put its military bases there. He would call that a negotiation. You would perhaps call it intimidation, but it works.

I think this is a much bigger story than covered so far. America thought they had a big lead in AI simply because of the power and cost involved in training models and they limited China's supply to American chipsets to capitalise on it.

China just dropped a model trained at 1/10th of the cost is matches or exceeds OpenAI's o1 model, their most advanced, in nearly all benchmarks.

It's tanked American AI stock prices and upends the entire market. It raises a lot of questions on what these American AI companies have been doing with the money when it clearly could have been done a lot more efficiently.

Even so, I’d be very wary of how I engaged with anything living on a Chinese server and dedicated to learning from its interactions with me.
