  • Yeah, the report clearly says that China's reliance on coal undermines this. Therefore, the bottom line for China doesn't look too good according to the Climate Action Tracker - China:

    • Policies and action against fair share: Insufficient
    • NDC target against modelled domestic pathways: Highly insufficient
    • NDC target against fair share: Insufficient
    • **Overall rating: Highly insufficient

    China is as much as most countries on the wrong track.

  • Former MEP Sophie in 't Veld published another opinionated piece in 'The Moscow Times' that is somewhat related:

    History Will Judge Europe If It Doesn’t Stand Up to Putin -- [Archived]

    ... For decades, Europe comfortably and lazily bobbed along with the U.S., developing its internal market while the Americans ensured our security. The past three years have been a rude awakening — yet many European leaders still prefer to pull the pillow over their heads and pretend business as usual will suffice.

    But Europe’s security is directly tied to Ukraine’s survival. If Ukraine falls, Putin will be emboldened to aim for new targets. Even if the war ends with a deal in which Ukraine’s sovereignty is preserved, Putin will undoubtedly use the time to regroup and prepare for the next attack. Analyses by various intelligence services in Europe have warned that he is already eyeing targets within the EU. These warnings must be taken very seriously. We should learn the lessons of 2014 and 2022 and act accordingly ...

  • In particular, he aims to target the European Union in response to its value-added tax (VAT), which applies to all products and is viewed by Washington as a non-tariff barrier.

    What? This makes no economic sense.

    Can someone enlighten me what this is about?

  • Is it really worth it building yet another model?

    Yes, it is, and it has to do with independence and many other reasons. It'll be multilingual, legally compliant, it comes without Chinese nor other censorship, it is open source unlike Deepseek, ChatGPT, and others.

  • This is pure guesswork. What makes you think it will not be fully open source for now?

    And who has said here that OpenAI/ChatGPT is open source? This hype around open source has only been around with Deepseek recently (although it is really not open as we know).

  • Back in July 2024, investigators leaked documents showing the correspondence between officers of Russia's foreign intelligence agency (SVR) responsible for “information warfare” with the West. The exiled Russian media outlet published a report on that. It's very illuminating:

    “Morality and ethics should play no part”: Leaks reveal how Russia's foreign intelligence agency runs disinformation campaigns in the West

    The leaked documents, intended for various government agencies, reveal the Kremlin's strategy: spreading disinformation on sensitive Western topics, posting falsehoods while posing as radical Ukrainian and European political forces (both real and specially created), appealing to emotions — primarily fear — over rationality, and utilizing new internet platforms instead of outdated ones like RT and Sputnik. The documents also detail localized campaigns against Russian émigrés, including efforts to discredit a fundraiser for Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation who had moved to the United States.
