@Andr3jH What is happening right now is pretty scary. I live in Finland, which has a population of 5.6 million. We have 300k unemployed people, but less than 12k open job vacancies, which are full time continuous (12+ month) contracts. Couple of my friends who are over 50 have been laid.

#China will soon hold 60% of the world’s rice reserves and 51% of its wheat. All this to feed 18% of the world’s population. China is well prepared for the upcoming #FoodCrisis. I predict massive riots in many developing countries & big inflation in the West.

@zhao_dashuai Why an earth they all need to do that in the Western wall of Jerusalem and wear Kippah (the Jewish head piece) ? I have seen Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Barack Obama etc. do that. None of them is even officially Jewish. This begs the question: Who rules the elites who visibly rule.

@itsPaulAi I have tested over 100 open source LLMs. In my early tests DeepSeek V3 has performed the best. I would rank it close to Claude 3.5 Sonnet or gpt-4o for many practical tasks, but it is open source & far cheaper, thus opening doors for many things. Good:. excellent in coding. .

@AlternatNews There likely a spillover effect, meaning higher energy costs for just the directly affected countries, but elevated cost for others as well. Slovakia already threatened to stop electricity flow to Ukraine. Russia has been destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The.

@nikstankovic_ Correlation doesn't necessarily imply causation. Those who didn't get vaccination are in general more strongly against the mainstream narrative.

@BowesChay The loss of cheap energy from Russia is one big factor, but even bigger is that all the legacy automakers have been slow in the EV transition and now Chinese EV production totally dominates. I have been writing about this already a long time. This is from today:.

@jakubwiech Let's compare with China:. Car production: In 2024, China produced 31.3 million vehicles, an increase of 3.7% compared to the previous year. That is more than Europe, USA and Japan combined. Steel production: In November 2024, China's steel production was 78.4 million tons. So.

@thinking_panda @RFI_Cn Typical Western thinking goes like this:. If positive stuff comes from China, how can we trust data by Chinese Government? Maybe Chinese stole the success or oppressed people?. If negative stuff comes from China, of course we can trust the source. --> See, communism never works.

@Jerry_grey2002 I have tried to reason with the people who push the official HK "pro democracy" narrative. I have read the Hong Kong national security law. It is more lenient than relevant laws in UK & USA. If one wants to point out my mistake, please refer to the law text and where problem is!.

@MichaelAArouet I am born in early 1970s. Many people in my generation will need work till close to 70 years of age. Our pensions might be several thousands euros, but how much those euros will buy in 2040s or 2050s?. PS. Chart is wrong for Finland. Finland has 250+ billion euros in pension.

@rohanpaul_ai This thread might share more light to the Reflection 70B, which now seems an obvious scam attempt (maybe trying to gain attention + funding?). Key points:.1. The first independent attempts to replicate the outrageous claims failed. It performed far worse than many existing.

@RnaudBertrand I have repeatedly asked this question: What will be replace the lost trade with the East (China & Russia) ?. All I ever get is empty stares and just "We must do it anyways, no matter the cost". Well, it is more debt & inflation for years to come. Europe chose economic suicide.

@Kanthan2030 They are all incompetent. It seems in order to become a prime minister of UK, you just need to be a winning party leader and answer "Yes, sir" to all these key questions:.- pro NATO?.- pro USA?.- pro Israel?.- anti Russia?.- anti Iran?.- Can you spell Chyna?. Great, you are.

@PAstynome The problem is that Michael Schuman works for Atlantic Council = highly influential pro-NATO/pro-USA thinktank, which is basically also shaping the public narrative for distant countries like Finland. Whatever Atlantic Council publishes is de facto also the truth and main course.

@mtmalinen Let me give you a different prediction: This could very well be a slow & long decline (10+ years). The bank savings & purchasing power of middle class in the West will be eaten away by #inflation. Overdebted households, companies etc. will be in huge trouble. 🧵.1/.

@RnaudBertrand What did people expect? Trump's 1st administration (2017-) was full of neocons (Bolton, Pompeo etc) and his 2nd administration is like neocon's wet dream. I have been for years writing that clash between the collective West (~50 ruled by USA, incl. Europe, CAN, AUS, NZ, Japan,.

@kyleichan @dunne_insights I have been predicting this to happen and had a lot of arguments with people, who don't believe in the rise of EVs (now 50% car sales in China are either plugin-hybrid or fully electric cars!) and people, who think China cannot innovate. Similar development will also happen in.

@tsarnick Apple actually did NOT invent the touch-based modern smart phone interface with iPhone. Instead it was invented by relatively unknown Finnish guy called Johannes Väänänen and introduced in a phone called MyDevice (2002) by a company called MyOrigo. It had the touch gestures.

@DagnyTaggart963 Unsatisfactory growth? Germany's absolute GDP is predicted to fall 0.3% this year 2023. And inflation runs at 6.2%. This mean the real growth of Germany is worse than -6%. That is not "unsatisfactory growth", that is a catastrophe! So kaputt ist Deutschland.#Deindustrialisierung.

@itsPaulAi UPDATE: DeepSeek V3 is not a multi-modal model (like Gemini), even though the chat interface has a image file input. It merely attempts a simple optical character recognition (OCR), and then feed that text to the model. It cannot describe image and the OCR fails if text is in.
