Since the article is about Malta, the discussions here should be centered on Malta. Sure, everyone knows the US is corrupt as f*** but what relevance does that have here and now? There are plenty of other places on HN to bring up this "argument".

The problem is that while the US and UK are well known countries with lots of press coverage, Malta isn't, so when you link one article in a foreign publication you are getting a highly distorted and politically charged view of a country you otherwise know nothing about.

And what should we do about it? Only allow comments about top X world countries?

Next, maybe Anthropic can make Sicily an offer it can’t refuse.

Anthropic has Iceland, OpenAI has Greece and now Malta. https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-and-iceland-announc... https://openai.com/global-affairs/openai-for-greece/

That's so interesting. Kind of explains company directions - quality vs quantity.

I’m now responsible for improving AI literacy in the organization I work. But the people in charge just want the employees to just answer some questions so they can handover Claude or Chat GPT licenses so they can show people are using AI to improve productivity. There are people who don’t know when to use AI and when not to use Ai and think they can just Claude their way through everything. I wanted to change that b…

I was on a quarter demo the other day and the project lead for ai innovation was talking about the things he's preparing for the company. I will not address the things he pitched (as coming soon), as I'm a developer and (hopefully) not the target audience, but I was quiet surprised when they made a questioneer asking how many people use ai and how frequently. (The target demographic was middle management, product own…

The pressure to use AI is worse than the pressure kids get to use drugs. It’s insane.

The job market right now sucks so everyone is really just trying to not be the next cut.

Malta makes money with igaming and money laundering. There's literally no other businesses there, other than basic necessities, and even these barely work. It's only focused on entertainment. They import food and water. Malta is very hot during the summer. There's AC unit everywhere and it's a default cooling unit as well, as there's no "European winter" there. Everyone collects rain water and stores it on the roof.…

Most of your comments have nothing to do with operating a data center, and seems like you have some ill feelings towards Malta. Tourism, manufacturing, financial services are all other industries apart from igaming. Parts of your phone are likely to be made in Malta. Presumably what you refer to as "money laundering" is the impression that Malta attracts foreign investments by offering regulation for poorly regulated…

What does Malta manufacture?

> Considering it was anonymous In the recent past, my department received an email from on high with a list of people who were yet to complete the "anonymous" survey. I always assume my work-survey answers are traceable back to me, whether it's via self-doxxing with my answers, tracing links of the rootkit-level MDM software that can record my screen, but they pinky-promise to only use for remote assistance, in case…

You do know it is possible for the answers to be anonymous but who submitted to be tracked?

I have taken some really badly (on purpose?) written questionnaires in the past. Asking about team size, role, etc.

That’s not anonymous at that point. That’s an agenda.

This article gives a distorted view of my country. We have a largely normal government with normal levels of corruption. You can compare Malta to a municipality in a big country. I have lived in many north western European countries and at the municipal level I personally witnessed the same levels of corruption, that in my native Malta would be considered the biggest scandal of the year. It's all a matter of framing,…

Well the business model of Malta is being a tax evasion haven and access port for oligarchs.

That’s quite a difference to most other European countries, although not all.
