Revolut CEO Nik Storonsky says building in highly-regulated environments like Europe make you so battle-hardened that you become hard to compete against:
“In Europe, everything is extremely capped and regulated compared to the US.”
“Plus very tough employment laws in many countries. In the US it’s very easy. It's employment at will. In Europe it is not like that. So you need to be very careful how you hire, who you hire.”
“So all this together actually produces an environment which is not very profitable, and very difficult to build a company. Then even in that environment, we succeeded.”
“We succeeded because we spend a lot of time and energy and brainpower to optimize on every single problem.”
“This difficult environment in Europe actually taught us how to build a business in a very competitive landscape.”
spent a week in Berchtesgaden exactly 2 years ago and never felt more at peace in a place
sad to see. hopefully whoever started it faces consequences.
Some may have heard the news of the fire at the Eagle’s Nest in Berchtesgaden. Yes, this was Hitler’s mountaintop tea house (which he only visited a handful of times). But it was also a symbol of Allied victory. American soldiers left their mark there. They took victorious photos there. They took souvenirs from there.
Early reports indicated that an arsonist was responsible. Kind of getting tired of unhinged people defacing and destroying historic sites.

It's important to remember that most people are still living in the world where they'll be an accountant for 30 years in a computer job and then retire and grow old.
At some point over the next few years all of these people will undergo extreme ontological shock as all the assumptions, systems, institutions, they built their understanding of the world on collapse due to the advent of AGI.

Important conversation on AI with @BillGates and digital CEOs.
We have to strike the right balance.
Between the huge potential AI holds for our industry, healthcare, innovation and so much more.
And its regulation, ensuring trustworthiness and our cyber security.
This is why Europe has the AI Act - for innovation under human control.
And we will continue our global engagement on better coordination and common standards.
To manage the rapid development of AI in the interest of humanity.

Is it just a standard memo that goes around from the government to the MSM as they are told what to print?
Exact same headline from two supposed independent news outlets
best intentions to direct towards a goal but this robotic environment never fucking works. i have some friends that raced on this team so knew. crazy how much the environment sounds like the software company I worked for that made me pull pin

coding was tedious but also rewarding
sometimes I miss the struggle and fight with code and trying to get something right
as AI takes the tediousness away I think we need some form of weights for the mind to keep us sharp

software isn’t dead, but it’s certainly solved. you will not be able to find employment as a software engineer in 2028.
