Alibaba outsmarts DeepSeek in AI offerings
I might be wrong, but I believe that Alibaba’s Qwen offerings have become more interesting than DeepSeek's. At least, when coding is what matters the most to you. When I…
Xi on AI and EVs, as interpreted by Bloomberg and Claude
An economy cannot be obsessively and exclusively focused on AI (and data centers and shit) and EVs. China has so far copied all the errors of the West, but Xi…
Understand your future master: Xi, father and son
I happened to learn about Joseph Torigian's book, The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping (Stanford University Press, June 2025, 718 Pages). The…
The Great AI Leap Forward: To panic or not to panic?
I’m not sure that I should be doing this, but I collected some recent news on AI, on which I’d like to add some minimal comments. I’ll start with quick…
Thoughts about BRICS+, China, and Europe—and the US
I'm by no means an analyst of any kind, but I happen to have had a few thoughts, and I decided to put them down. They're not phrased that well,…
Bibi + Donald + Iran = 💣
I initially wanted to update my previous short post, Israel is the land of love, either at its end, or through comments, but I decided to behave more traditionally and…
Israel is the land of love
Two terrorist countries, Iran and Israel, are playing the “your mother is a whore” game (مادر جنده). Iran doesn't recognize Israel's right to existence, and Israel doesn't recognize Iran's right…
Trying to understand the stupid Chinese AI censorship
Western-made AI agents generally censor stuff based on a set of rules regarding “public safety” (violence, drugs, pornography, terrorism, nuclear weapons, etc.) or copyright (ChatGPT refused to draw Winnie-the-Pooh for…
It’s not the liberal order that we’re losing, and the decline didn’t start with Trump
By pure chance, I ran over some older contributions to Foreign Affairs by Graham Allison, Professor of Government at the Harvard Kennedy School. I'll just paste here some excerpts, without…
The Three Shitheads (and us)
We, Europeans, are cocksuckers. We sucked Putin’s dick (and we still do, as the EU still imports some gas from Russia). We suck Netanyahu’s dick, because criticizing Israel is seen…
Un mal nécessaire? Varoufakis about China, back in 2018
I’m an easy prey for YouTube’s algorithms, and I was just presented with an excerpt from an address by Yanis Varoufakis to the Cambridge Forum in Massachusetts on May 9,…
The one big mistake Xi is making right now
There might be more important things to worry about right now, but I thought of wasting some time with one that bothers me. And yes, it's about comrade Xi. I…
China repeats all the mistakes made by the West—and yet…
There are only a few thoughts that I wanted to express since some time already. Nothing too fancy, just some basic ideas. My recent “love for China” started before the…
I’ll call it “Techno-Dark-Mafia”
I started to write this more than one week ago, but further events made me postpone it. Because of the delay and of the other disturbing international evolutions, I have…
Why China’s Xi is everyone’s best ally against shithead Trump
As he threatened two days ago, Trump has imposed an incredible tariff on China: 50% atop the original 34%. But this 84% additional tariff means that all goods from China…
Ursula Ronald McDonald: Europe is ready to negotiate with the US
It wasn’t enough that Trump wanted to screw the planet with his dumb tariffs. It wasn’t enough that he wanted to screw Ukraine, Europe, and NATO. It wasn’t enough that…
Kindergarten dropout Donald “Tariffs” Drumpf ejaculated complete nonsense
First of all, there are no uniform tariffs a country sets for goods and services coming from another country. Countries set tariff rates per product category. There is a Harmonized…
Europe 3.0: Sabin Gherman crede în Zâna Măseluță!
Printre zecile de cetățeni geto-daci pe care-i mai vizionez pe YouTube, majoritatea narcisiști, logoreici, enervanți și cum or mai fi ei, Sabin Gherman nu se mai numără de ceva vreme.…
Viitor de aur țara noastră are! La fel și lumea…
