    Our readingWestern export bans have not reduced Russian demand for brand-name SUVs and trucks, driving a criminal network that smuggles stolen vehicles to Russia via the Middle East.

    While Western export bans have severed Russia from much of the auto market, they have not tempered the demand for brand-name SUVs and trucks. That has given rise to a sophisticated network of criminals that steals cars, hides them in shipping containers and sends them to Russia, often by way of the Middle East

    Our readingThe best historical analogy for AI is not electricity or the industrial revolution but a new computing paradigm, because both are fundamentally about automating digital information processing.

    AI has been compared to various historical precedents: electricity, industrial revolution, etc., I think the strongest analogy is that of AI as a new computing paradigm (Software 2.0) because both are fundamentally about the automation of digital information processing.

    Our readingUkraine's war effort should be financed by a Reparations Loan raised against immobilised Russian assets, repayable only once Russia pays reparations.

    This is Russia's war. And it is Russia that should pay. This is why we need to work urgently on a new solution to finance Ukraine's war effort on the basis of the immobilised Russian assets. With the cash balances associated to these Russian assets, we can provide Ukraine with a Reparations Loan.

    Our readingThe era in which Europe bought its energy from Russia, had its goods made in China and left its security to the United States is over.

    And so yes, the era when Europe bought its energy and fertilizers from Russia, had its goods manufactured in China, and delegated its security to the United States of America, is over.

    Our readingCryptocurrency deserves to be dismissed: its problems outweigh its promise, and the trustless world it offers is not one worth wanting.

    One of the reasons I've never cared for crypto currencies is that the associated utopia of trustless society had zero appeal to me. I don't think the world is better off by erasing the need to trust in our transactional counterparts, so turning these transactions into pure computing always struck me as a regression.
