Thanks Ivan

The overt hatred people here feel for Russians would make an antisemite blush. This is on the same level as calling random people Schlomo.

I don't understand why you are being downvoted. If someone starts calling people Avi Goldstein in a thread about Israel I’m sure he'll get flagged to death in no time.

Unlikely. Other than the telcos there's only one proper commercial datacentre here. Space is very constrained and the electricity supply stability + summer heat aren't a fun combination

As a complete layman, I do wonder why you would bother building a datacenter at a place that everyone agrees is going to be basically underwater in the next 50-100 years.

although, Microsoft did a whole experiment with underwater data centers, so maybe there's lessons from there that could be applied.

It's a ploy to drive adoption. Once it's considered essential they can turn the screws in massive contracts with governments, big enterprises, universities, and public school systems. Probably some genuine competition on price, but the equilibrium price is probably below cost and not sustainable.

First step of enshittification :)

Which definition of that are you using?

Malta is an important component of Russia's money laundering Laundromat system. "Malta’s corruption is not just in the heart of government, it’s the entire body" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/03/malta-...

This article is more than 6 years old

Corruption is like cancer.

It’s a voluntary two hour online AI course with 1 year ChatGPT premium reward. Getting AI basics to the people with playground.

Getting free data from every Maltese citizen rather.

EU software also collects your data

At least American software is good

If you’re gonna give up your data, at least use the better American software

All that data on all Malta citizens. Remember, if you're more paying, you're the product

EU-created domestic software is no better

Actually it’s worse. You still surrender your data but get a worse user experience

The comments here were not sufficiently obsequious towards AI companies, so the submission dropped from the front page to page three in minutes. That is how AI boosterism works here.

Tech employees worried their stock will drop in value (laugh emoji)
