Sigh.

I’d hoped Anthropic would steer clear of blatantly unethical practices but here they go in bed with that guy and his horribly damaging data center.



Anthropic works with Palantir, they are all but "ethical" lol.


I suppose you're also using Chinese models, who all have to be at the behest of the Communist party. China also have "horribly damaging" coal power plants. Do they acquire training data ethically? Do they censor? Be honest with yourself. Your concerns have nothing to do with ethic.


Yes, quite a bad reputation hit for Anthropic to get in bed with Musk. Tesla lost half its marketshare in Europe because Elon is meddling in our democracy, is promoting right wing populist parties and supporting Trump in general.


Europe has a hugely shrinking demographic, and is actively decoupling from the United States. There's almost no innovation and you are making the mistake of getting in bed with China and constantly suing our tech companies.

Europe needs to focus more on Europe and less US politics.


This might have something to do with the US president threatening to attack Greenland? Decoupling from the US is the only sane thing to do.


Denmark has a freakin' King. You guys are still a monarchy... Greenland is closer to the US than Europe, and we defended and gave back demark during WW2.

Demark provides almost no financial support to Greenland, and can't defend it. It will prove to be very strategically important as the ice caps melt.

Russia invaded Ukraine, and Demark lets russia use the Danish straights to transport oil despite the US asking them to not allow them entry. Demark has no way to protect it's own straits, how is it suppose to stop an invasion of Greenland from russia? How is it supposed to impose order and control the north artic if it can't even protect it's own straights?

These are very real security concerns from then US that a monarch can't address.


All of that aside it is not American territory and it won’t be unless it is taken by force against the will of the people that live there (and Denmark). People don’t like be threatened in particular by countries which they’re allied with.

kinda like the Thule?

Today, Greenland is recognized as an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark. They are fighting for their own independence currently, and do not want to be ruled by Denmark.

Lastly, he never "threatened to take it by force". When cornered by a reporter on whether the military was off the table, he said nothing is ever off the table in a negotiation. After all that, Demark and the EU poured billions into Greenland for defense.

It took the guise of threats for the EU to finally step up on defense.


"Lastly, he never "threatened to take it by force"."

You're funny.


No, they’ve lost market share because they haven’t released a new product in years. Meanwhile China is releasing hundreds of excellent models into the European market which are better than Tesla’s.


That adds to it. But you are underestimating how much Europeans were/are shocked by Elon's Nazi salute and the DOGE fallout.


Pretty sure Americans hate him too. You can see Tesla new car staging lots full and the cars never move. They try to hide the Cybertruck lots.


American's love Elon... Just saying. Fun fact, most of us love Trump too :)
