Fair enough, it would be good for their energy independence but not sure they would want to stick to a timeline. Even if they did, not sure they would agree to an enforcement mechanism given they see themselves as a superpower (which they are) and wouldn’t want to be told what to do by the EU (not really a superpower even if on paper it could be) if any targets slipped.

Even so, I hope they can come to a deal. It would help both sides I think even if working with the Chinese will be a tricky business given their less than stellar human rights practices

Can't read but will comment on the title.

The idea would be very cool but I don't know how serious China is on cutting down their emissions (especially at the expense of their exports being more expensive).

Just the EU and UK could feaisbly do it but it seems politicians are starting to push back against green policies since there is a belief they will hinder rather than help growth. Whether that is true or not is up for debate but I think it would be a missed opportunity for the EU/UK to miss out on another technological advancement that might pay dividends in the future. For example, figuring out how to use Hydrogen as a replacement for LNG could then be exported all over the world. Might bean renewables could have their excess energy stored efficiently.

That's upsetting, haven't heard much from them since the early days of the Ai boom

Oh interesting, didn't know about that. So Trump can pretend he made a deal that was already done just by getting Canada to throw in 'Fentanyl Czar'. What a deal maker /s

Hope Canada continues to avoid American products and diversifies who they supply their exports to

Good on ya and keep it up!

That's fair, for him it's a win but in reality it doesn't actually fix a problem since there wasn't one to begin with

Very true, it's a symbiotic relationship (or was anyway, the bigger party has changed it's mind)

As a Brit, I’d be sad they got to join but also quite proud of our daughter

Sort of, I’d say he winced. He still got a stronger boarder which was something he was wanting (cause Canada is the problem /s) but obviously the trade deficit didn’t change.

We’ll truly know if he is blinking if he follows through on the tariffs in a month. I just hope Canada (and others) wake up and realise they can’t depend on the US anymore. They should diversify themselves as much as possible as quickly as possible

Where is Mistral in all this? If they haven’t joined, they should join too!

I just meant generally, not sure what 'open source' means in the context of ai (not a programmer)

They didn't really praise them. They just hoped that the republicans would go back to being against big tech (like they used to be 10 years ago he claims). Obviously, Trump's not going to do that but I think we can all agree big tech is a big problem

Sure it might but the thing is it may still acknowledge that there are different opinions on some topics. Does reflect how whilst governments may have a narrative, people can say what they think. In China, that's a different story...

True, hosting deepseek yourself is much better. I'd still wait and see if anyone finds weird stuff in the code itself but tbh idk how long that could take.

Can't wait for the models to get better and hopefully stay open source!

Thank you, this covers everything I could have thought of!

I don’t think they are that biased. They say in the article that ai models from all the leading companies are not private and shouldn’t be trusted with your data. The article is focusing on Deepseek given that’s the new big thing. Of course, since it’s controlled by China that makes data privacy even less of a thing that can be trusted.

Should we trust Deepseek? No. Should we trust OpenAI? No. Should we trust anything that is not developed by an open community? No.

I don’t think Proton is biased, they are explaining the risks with Deepseek specifically and mention how Ai’s aren’t much better. The article is not titled “Deepseek vs OpenAI” or anything like that. I don’t get why people bag on proton when they are the biggest privacy focused player that could (almost) replace google for most people!

I guess their username speaks for itself XD

Ar eyou saying Proton's CEO is a Nazi? Far as I can tell he isn't

Edit: your message is confusing which is why I ask

I understand the concern but it's not like the CEO is sieg heiling... He is stating how things used to be and his hope that Trump will continue that trend. He posted 4th of December which was far before Trump got all his big tech chronies to sit Infront of US allies at his inauguration

Tbh I think proton is solid. What the CEO said is just stating a fact of the situation 10 years ago and linking it to now. I don't believe that's right but he posted the message 4th of December which (if I'm not mistaken) was before it was clear all the tech CEOs were sucking his dick like we saw around his in inauguration.

I'd still recommend it, the other stuff the CEO says on twitter is all very logical and positive for privacy and against big tech. Unfortunately someone says something that is remotely questionable (not like this guy has outright praised Trump far as I can tell) and sudetly Proton is a dead service not considering all the good they have done and will (probably) continue to do
