The Economist will be framing it as an economic issue as soon as the tariffs bite, so this feels a little hypocritical.
Starmer framing Greenland as a Costa Livin issue. Rail fares! The price of groceries! Bizarre segue.

Blaming Brexit for your dumb fucking countrymen voting in a fascist is it?
I fear it might be the UK, who gave Donald Trump the idea that it would get him a lot of attention if he unilaterally withdrew from an international organization everyone else in the world agrees he should not

This is good. The FT will have the ear of the city. If Trump wants to go after the UK it will be to go after financial services. This hopefully indicates that they will stand firm and not try put on pressure to yield.
"Europe should draw up tariffs aimed at the US, beyond the cliched targets of Bourbon whiskey & Levi’s jeans. New targets could include the big US tech firms and crypto companies that are an integral part of Trump’s world"

It's significantly sped up the discovery of a new antibiotic. I don't know why people are suggesting it is only useful in some hypothetical future.
Opponents largely fail to accept the really fantastic applications focusing only on those with profit motive.

Part of the struggle with the LLM discourse is that genuine (i.e. non-grifter) proponents talk exclusively about the possibilities of the transformer architecture in an ideal future with a rational business model.
Whereas opponents largely talk about the world we live in today, and its constraints.

What many of us have been saying for a while: AI*-related technologies are tools like any other technology, useful in some places, not in others. If it had been presented (and funded) as such, we'd be in a better place.
Instead, tech ideologues pushed AI* as the Second Coming, went all-in on it. /1

As other replies point it, thus was it always. The world's most uneasy but seemingly inevitable allies
There's also going to be a lot of cognitive dissonance for some folks in British politics when they discover that France is the UK's closest ally now.

Rolling up the "global majority" into a homogeneous block is it? One that would collectively side with European NATO allies against the US over Greenland, if only it weren't for Palestine and Venezuela? That is some of the most reductive one eyed bollocks I've read in a long time.
If we hadn't been complicit on Palestine; if we hadn't appeased Trump on Venezuela, might the Global Majority have stood alongside Europe, with all of us stronger, on Greenland?
