Whatever fair use is supposed to have been, generating never-before-seen amounts of revenue by hoovering up every word ever written is not it.

i think you're being sarcastic but for others reading this without context:

- Israel has used "Hamas" as a get-out-of-jail-free card with people in the West - Hamas are not in the West Bank (which is physical separated from Gaza, where Hamas operated)

Reminder Sergey Brin was in the Epstein files.

That one had a UN mandate.

The problem is that the US used its soft power for evil, not for good. WW2 was the last war where the US were the good guys.

With the US' war of aggression on Iran, it just doesnt care what it loses in its quest to support Israel.

This will further push the EU towards sovereignty, not just on a tech front but through the financial sector. Similar to their sanctions of the Iranian airlines - these are attacks on civilian and human rights infrastructure that other countries actually find value and alignment with.

Probably (hopefully) we'll look back on this as the start of the end of US soft influence.

You misunderstand me. I'm saying that the developers can make these optimizations with LLMs, at the source level, and thus they don't need to be added to compilers.

Like just open Claude Code and ask it to find optimizations. That's the right place for this kind of optimization.

When I think of how a "compiler" could make these optimizations, I think the right place is an optimizing LLM (so, just a regular coding agent that you prompted to find optimizations like this one), making the changes in source at the request of the developer. That provides the dev with adequate input on whether they would like to opt-in to an unsafe optimization like this one. The compiler can continue to do deterministically-safe optimizations.

America had a violent revolution. So did practically every other country. Are violent revolutions de facto bad?

Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon grant Israel virtually government-wide access to their cloud and artificial intelligence technologies, enhancing data processing, decision making and surveillance and analysis capacities.

[101] Their Israel-located servers ensure data sovereignty and a shield from accountability, [102] under favourable contracts offering minimal restrictions or oversight.
