The author said a reposted graph was particularly relevant to France, as it showed interest rates rising gradually and then sharply when debt appeared to be becoming unsustainable.

Reason for specifically citing open weight (and therefore Chinese LLMs, but not only Chinese) is that, even if they have built-in guardrails, somebody with the relevant knowledge can go in and remove them. In principle, harder to do with Anthropic or Open AI LLMs. #OpenAI #AIethics #LLM #CN

Many comments on the tweet about the risk of a public debt crisis in France point to the role of the central bank, the ECB in this case, in avoiding multiple equilibria. And, indeed, the ECB has a major role to play. On paper, it is easy. There are three zones, determined by #PublicDebt #ECB #FranceFinance #FR #EU

I keep being asked. How long can France go on with budget deficits and increasing debt until we get a crisis? The answer: I cannot tell. Not because I am particularly dumb (this is a separate issue). But because there is a potentially large danger zone, where the crisis may or #France #BudgetDeficit #DebtCrisis #FR

Europe 2050 project. Looking forward, European countries are facing unusually large fiscal challenges. High debt to start, still large primary deficits in many countries, aging combined with pay-as-you-go retirement systems, a needed defense buildup, mitigation and adaptation #Europe2050 #FiscalChallenges #Sustainability #EU #DE #FR #IT #ES #PL #NL #BE #SE #DK #FI #GR #PT #IE #AT #CZ #HU #RO #SK #BG #HR #SI #LT #LV #EE #LU #CY

From a 1953 speech by Eisenhower, cited by @HC_Richardson, a striking computation, and a deeper point: “The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.
