Roman Kolář wrote that under the report about the possible arrival of tens of thousands of Ukrainians to the Czech Republic due to Russian winter attacks on energy infrastructure, 99% of the comments were calls to close the borders and hateful reactions. He stated that Ukrainians, in his view, bring billions more to the Czech Republic than they cost. At the same time, he criticized the government, which he labeled "anti-immigration," for its intention to accept what he considers a large number of workers from the Philippines, among others for Agrofert. Kolář claimed that disinformation influences public opinion and wrote that people should criticize the acceptance of economic migrants, but should not reject war refugees, who, according to him, benefit the Czech economy. He attributed the current public attitude to the spread of hatred. #Ukrajina #migrace #vláda (translated)

NIC NEVIM stated that the market is beginning to sober up from expectations related to the construction of data centers and the purchase of expensive chips and memory. According to him, the demand for capital is extraordinarily high, while the available money is running out. At OpenAI, he mentioned annualized revenues of $50 billion, but also stated that the company is still losing money due to high model training costs. He believes that the growth in revenues at this stage does not indicate long-term profitability. According to him, companies and individuals are now experimenting with AI and spending on tokens, but often do not yet see corresponding economic returns. If this does not change quickly, he believes it will be difficult to justify further extensive investments in infrastructure. He added that the costs must eventually be paid by someone, and end consumers do not currently have enough money for that. #ekonomika #uměláinteligence #datacentra (translated)

He added that if it were 1939 and both were in power, they could draw lots to decide who would be Hitler and who would be Stalin. According to Krilov, the world complicated their plans with moral considerations and the deaths of innocent children that were not theirs. #politika #Trump #Putin (translated)

Anton Musil stated that, in his opinion, there is no entity on the current Czech political scene capable of confronting the subsidizing of employers who use cheap labor from Asia.

Roman Kolář described the development as the disintegration of the state and defense, stating that the government is moving faster than Viktor Orbán during his 16 years in power. According to Kolář, Hungary has ended up economically troubled, riddled with corruption, and under the influence of Vladimir Putin. Referring to the text of the Shield of Democracy, he mentioned that Defense Minister Zůna from SPD ordered the recall of General Haratek from the Information and Cyber Forces. The unit, according to the cited text, was created in 2019 in response to Russian disinformation and was also supposed to address threats on the internet. Kolář wrote that ANO MP Růžička had long attacked the unit and portrayed its training, during which soldiers recorded public posts of prominent individuals on social media, as surveillance of citizens. According to the text of the Shield of Democracy, the training was not illegal, and it was this very accusation that Minister Zůna used to dismiss Haratek. Kolář stated that the aim was to restrict the unit and condemned the government for it. #demokracie #dezinformace #kybernetickábezpečnost (translated)
