I really wish you from the bottom of my heart that you will never be in a situation having to “choose” stability over democracy.
(In a personal note, you may read rule 4 of this community, “dehumanization.”)
For leader of the “free world” you bet on China?
I would not only delete @bungalowtill’s comments but ban the user entirely from the community. They literally wrote:
Another Ukraine project? Sounds like a fabulous idea. Especially for Serbians.
How else can you understand that if not as a call for violence? Such a comment is completely insane.
I fully agree. To be fair -and what was a major reason why I decided to post this here- is that Landsbergis criticized Orban and demanded similar actions already during his term as minister.
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?
What an absurdly derailed comment and insult to the people of Serbia fighting for their freedom and democracy.
No, DeepSeek isn’t uncensored if you run it locally.
Everything that comes from China is censored, because private companies must apply to the Chinese censorship laws.
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.
Here is a much better way for Europe’s tech firms to catch up in global AI race (spoiler: a multilingual, fully open source, law-compliant, democratic and homegrown LLM): https://slrpnk.net/post/17978607
Ah, a troll.
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).
Is this going to be another misnomer for a model that isn’t actually open? The quote doesn’t give me much hope.
The quote says it will be fully open. What makes you think it will not?

All the best! :-)
Probably, and with the new president it is arguably not so easy in the near future for the U.S. I’m afraid.
I am not sure what you want to say. In a nutshell, the article says that the EU must align its energy policies across countries to increase its own manufacturing output and, thus, gaining a higher degree of independence. This is true also for the U.S. and any country or bloc imho.
You understood if you (have) lived in a country where someone else tells you what you ‘prefer’. You never did, that is evident from your comments. And as I said, I wish you from the bottom of my heart that you’ll never have to make such an experience.
