Rihards Kols pointed out that citizenship for merits is the highest mark of trust from the state and that granting it without sufficient verification diminishes its value. He expressed that he had previously objected to what he sees as overly broad granting of citizenship. Kols wrote that on October 15, the Saeima granted citizenship for special merits to a person whom he described as a scientist. According to him, there was no university found where she obtained her education, and her publications could not be found in scientific databases. He called for a review of the citizenship granting procedures and for mandatory independent candidate verification, including an assessment of diplomas, foreign legal proceedings and finances, as well as obtaining an evaluation from security services. #pilsonība #vērtības #uzticība (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)

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)
