Thanks for sharing, no argument there. Non-chinese models on non-chinese systems are far superior when it comes to not spreading Chinese propaganda.

Proton is swiss, but they moved out data out of Switzerland because laws changed negatively. Not sure where it is now, but eu i believe

So sick leave by video call??

OR: Democrat/Muslim mayor of NYC claims to cut spending for transit, but does it decrease congestion?

The US in it's current form is definitely a threat to Europe in many ways, but not a military one. Not even in the case of an armed conflict about Greenland. I could see the leadership ordering to, but I can't see the soldiers on the ground shoot at people they've been training and fighting with their entire career. There will be mass defection on the side of the US if they are ordered to shoot (by then former) nato-allies. Unlike Russian 'soldiers', the fear of torture/execution will not motivate them.

You mean that's a the people at risk problem

Working towards 5% isn't really that stupid for most European countries as long as Russia is spending as much money as it can on weapons. It will only become a waste of money after the implosion of the Russian oligarchy. I am not in favor of spending that much money of things that kill stuff, but it makes total sense to continue doing that for now.

One big if though: the people in charge will have to ignore big bullies and their lobbyists.

According to a study published in Nature, almost two-thirds of global warming is caused by the wealthiest 10% of the world.

Guess you forgot to put that in bold, i'll fix it for you:

You're right, i meant more we the people reading the news; not necessarily the intelligence community or the politicians they inform.

Personally i see what you mean, but most car drivers will not agree. Especially if those car drivers live a long distance from shops or work, or if those car drivers live somewhere where you have to go up and down hill to get to your destination.

I'd argue Malaysia has a point, but at the same time Norway has bordered Russia for ages and Russia's increased aggression also isn't new. They both should've understand how that might influence their desire/ability to deliver those missiles.

I'm not sure about Norway in particular; but a lot of countries bordering Russia spoke out against the US not delevering air defense systems to Ukraine because the US wanted the use them for the war against Iran. Would be quite hypocritical if Norway was one of those countries and also chooses cancel this

Closed-source model from China running on a Chinese system ≠ open-source model from China on a European system though.

Proton has seen some backlash in general and there is quite some hate out there on ai, and while i agree ai causes some very big problem, still: this does make Lumo relevant to me. Haven't tried image generation, but web search and file upload seem for me good enough to not use their competitors for that.

without working

I wish

Let's not fall for his distraction again, ok guys?

Damn, that's a patent?

Cool share, but too much to just delve into. Leaving a comment so i can easily check back in a few days and seee if somebody left a highlight or two.

I have no direct answer for you, aside from there is much more likely research and publication about individual European countries than there is about Europe as a whole. Possible research directions (in random order):

• Spain had a fascism problem until a few decades ago
• France is relatively hierarchical, violent riots against the government are more normal there the in other European countries
• the UK and Ireland had religious conflicts concerning Northern Ireland, aka the troubles
• large parts of Eastern Europe where opressed by the USSR, speaking out was not safe everywhere.
• Former Yugoslavian countries are still at odds with each other, freedom of speech and independent media are not a given everywhere.
• Germany has a strong allergy for secret services, doesn't want government or corporations collecting private data
• Italy had a maffia problem (they still do but it's much less influential on the everyday lives of regular people)
• Many European countries have a group of right wing voters that are increasingly extremist, violent 'protests' happen more often now.
• If Europe includes Turkey, the (failing) independence of the judicial system there might be worth reading about. Even if the police is kind to you, it means nothing when a judge can put you in jail just because the 'boss' asks him to.

I think if you're looking for stories about police brutality in Europe, your best bet might be to look for events involving riots and protests. Deaths like those of Renee Good, George Floyd or Eric Garner happen much less here afaik, but they do happen. This is not a book, but there is a foundation in the Netherlands that focusses on fair law enforcement (not specifically against police brutality) and they have kept an archive (for a decade now it turns out): https://controlealtdelete.nl/dossier-politiedoden?lang=en#gsc.tab=0. If such an organization exists in other European country, there could be large differences in the data.

One big difference is that the education to become a police officer in a (or most?) European country is much longer than in the US, another big difference is that barely any military equipment ends up with the police. I think those two, combined with racism and loyalty to co-workers, are the biggest problems when it comes to police brutality in the US (i say that as an outsider though). Europe might be equally racist (not sure) and equally loyal (again not sure), but i believe our checks and balances system are generally working better at the moment; which would mean the jerks are more likely kicked out and abolishing the entire organization is much less needed to 'fix' the police.

Just because the those models don't show / use your chat history doesn't mean they can't store it. More a warning than a counter argument though.
