Henri Vanhanen wrote that according to The New York Times, Trump's negotiators had suggested increasing the purchase of Russian gas by Europe as a way to get Russia to stop its invasion of Ukraine. Vanhanen asked what else the Trump administration could still offer Vladimir Putin. According to Vanhanen, Europe had bought Russian gas worth billions of euros before 2022, but the revenue and influence Russia gained, as well as Europe's energy dependence, did not prevent Putin from invading Ukraine. He believed that Europe had sought to rid itself of Russian energy because the dependency had proven to be a serious geopolitical mistake. Restoring that would, in his view, be a gift to Putin and a setback for European security. Vanhanen wrote that peace could not be built by making war profitable business. He urged Europe to make it clear to Washington that European security and energy policy should not be used as a commodity in negotiations with Putin. https://t.co/c6meL6mr1T #Trump #Putin #energia (translated)

Jukka Lepikkö wrote that AI stocks were, in his opinion, mispriced because the analysts following them did not understand reality. He mentioned that a Nomura analyst estimated that one gigawatt of data center capacity would generate $20 billion in sales for Anthropic. According to Lepikkö, the correct figure would be about $80 billion per gigawatt: he justified his estimate by noting that 25 percent of Anthropic's 5 gigawatt capacity, or 1.25 gigawatts, was used for inference and total sales were $100 billion. Lepikkö estimated that Anthropic would increase its computing capacity by 7 gigawatts next year. He said it was unclear how much of the new capacity would be used for training and how much for inference, but he assumed that the share for inference would be larger than it is now. If one third of the additional capacity were allocated to inference, it could, based on his $80 billion per gigawatt estimate, generate $185 billion in new revenue. In this case, Lepikkö suggested that Anthropic's ARR could be nearly $300 billion by the end of 2027. #AI #Osakkeet #Teknologia (translated)

It is completely unacceptable to burn down the town hall! Those who did this must be punished.

Mika Merano announced that he will be a candidate for the Finns Party in the upcoming spring parliamentary elections in the Uusimaa electoral district. He named his main themes as fighting corruption, reforming the use of tax funds, and strengthening the status of the Finnish language and Finnish culture. Merano opposed, among other things, the dual roles of politicians in organizations, political appointments, and directing tax funds to the close circles of politicians. He demanded public impact reports on taxpayer-funded projects and believed that tax funds should benefit Finnish taxpayers. He also opposed development aid, projects that he described as ideological, and unprofitable EU funding requests. In language policy, Merano opposed mandatory Swedish and multiculturalism, which he viewed as narrowing Finnish traditions. He supported a unilingual Finland, conducting business in one's native language, and preserving Finnish cultural heritage. He also suggested that cuts affecting citizens should be made only as a last resort. Merano asked people to spread the word about his candidacy, to join his campaign team, or to support his campaign. He stated that donations would go to the Mika Merano Support Association and would be used entirely for the campaign. According to him, donations could be made via MobilePay to the number 47188 or to the association's account FI19 8146 9710 4278 49. He mentioned that the names of donors contributing at least 1,500 euros would be public. The campaign manager, according to Merano, is marketing professional and Kouvola city councilor Suvi Karell, who coordinates the campaign work. #Suomi #Eduskuntavaalit #Perussuomalaiset (translated)

The author emphasized the importance of the interview with writer Julia Kuokkanen, in which she discussed, according to her, how Russians are raised from childhood to have a worldview that justifies war. The author noted that it is still possible to break away from this, as Kuokkanen had done. https://t.co/KtqQgKu7Sj #haastattelu #kirjallisuus #sota #FI #RU (translated)

Patryk Słowik wrote to Dorota that he and Wirtualna Polska won a court case against Zbigniew Ziobro regarding his text in which—he reported—he revealed Ziobro's manipulation of court statistics. He accused her of receiving money from TVP during Jacek Kurski's time until her dismissal. He added that when some people left on their own in 2015 and 2016, she hoped she would not be dismissed, but that happened. Słowik wrote that he understood that she might have shown even greater reluctance later to divert attention from the fact that the courage attributed to her did not, in his opinion, correspond to reality. #Polska #PiS #media (translated)

Michał Fiszer wrote that his income came from military pension, lectures, articles, and occasional assignments such as translations. He added that readers could also support him by buying him coffee. In response to questions about who pays him, he suggested that similar questions should be directed to those praising Russia, among other things, about how they exchange rubles or whether they receive payments in cryptocurrencies. Fiszer estimated that a significant portion of society is susceptible to manipulation. He wrote that about one third, and possibly more, believe in the theory of the Smolensk crash, and 10 percent believe in the existence of a Jewish world government with a secret bunker under Sworne Gacie. He also mentioned people who believe in the harmfulness of vaccines, a flat Earth, or chemtrails, as well as confusing agencies that arose in the Third Republic with institutions from the times of the People's Republic of Poland. He stated that as a lecturer, he is subject to lustration, and his declaration of not cooperating with the services of the People's Republic of Poland has never been questioned. He also wrote that the only party he belonged to was the UPR. Fiszer reiterated the call to rely on information from the president and his office, the prime minister and his office, the Ministry of National Defense, the National Security Bureau, the military, the General Staff, the commands of the armed forces, the police, border guards, and the fire service, as well as the Military Counterintelligence Service, the Internal Security Agency, and the Intelligence Agency in matters related to state security incidents. He also encouraged reliance on science, scientists from reputable universities, and scientific journals. He announced that he expects an attack from internet trolls, and then intends to write about the anti-aircraft guns ZU-23-2 used in Poland and their derivatives, including the Pilica system. In a note, he corrected that in his previous post he referred to a powered paraglider, not an unpowered paraglider. #Bezpieczeństwo #Dezinformacja #Nauka (translated)
