Why do Google and Facebook release their own AI frameworks?

A struggle for influence in the artificial intelligence market is unfolding among tech giants.

There are many goals, from creating a monopoly and capturing market share to destroying competitors. They understand that if their system dominates, they will have money, influence, employees who do not need to be trained, and the opportunity to destroy or slow down competitors. Even sabotage: it takes time to study the system, and when a person realizes that he was studying an outdated framework in vain, time is wasted. If they don't act, they will find themselves in this position.

You can train neural networks without a framework, as well as speed up learning.

What is the reason for the start of the war with Iran?

2026-03-08 07:38:27

The struggle for world domination

The primary goal is to destroy stability in the region. The chaos makes the region dependent on an external arbitrator (the United States), without whom local players cannot ensure their safety. The destruction of the digital and logistics hubs of the Persian Gulf undermines the region's status as a secure center of trade and finance. This will lead to an outflow of capital and technology to other regions (Europe, Southeast Asia), which will weaken the economic independence of the Arab monarchies and increase their dependence on the United States. The secondary goal is to slow down China. China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil. Depriving Beijing of this resource or sharply increasing the cost of its delivery due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is hitting Chinese industry. For the United States, weakening the Iran—China link and controlling energy arteries is a strategic priority. However, it is worth considering the risks of such a strategy.: it can rally the opponents of the United States (China, Russia, Iran) into an even closer military-economic bloc and accelerate the process of de-dollarization of the global economy, as countries will see the dollar and the American security system as a direct threat to their existence. The full picture includes: Economics: Saving the dollar and the profits of the military industrial complex. Logistics: Blocking alternative trade routes (Russia-India-China). Technology: Destroying the competitor's potential. Domestic politics: A distraction from the problems in the USA and Israel. The reset of the petrodollar and the preservation of the dollar's hegemony. This is perhaps the most profound economic reason. The bottom line: In recent years, Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries have actively discussed switching to payments for oil in yuan, rubles or local currencies, bypassing the US dollar. This threatened the foundation of the American economy, which is based on the demand for the dollar as a reserve currency.

In his first term, Trump unilaterally tore up the agreement with Iran, but due to the coronavirus, he was unable to carry out the plans to the end.

A potential major war in the Middle East

How will the prohibition of the combustion engine turn out in Europe by 2035?

2023-02-18 08:36:06

The loss of jobs and the energy crisis

At the moment there is no infrastructure of filling stations, raw materials for the production of batteries are also purchased outside the EU. It is also unclear where all those who assemble engines and sell gasoline will work. But with all these problems the law was passed

The decision to ban the combustion engine is not a solution to environmental problems, but shifting the problem to the state

In ten years, internal combustion cars will not cost a dime in Europe

Is Dmitry Medvedev's forecast for 2023 correct?

2022-12-30 04:42:35

No

There are many flaws in the forecast. In 2024, elections in the United States will be held in November. Energy prices depend on many factors, such as supply and demand, availability and number of suppliers. For such prices to appear, someone must leave the energy market. Russia itself? All decisions in the European Union on accession are made for years and simply cannot be agreed in a year.

This is just a favorable forecast for Russia, which could still be believed if it were announced at least for 3 years. Also, the forecast does not specify Russia itself, as well as China.

Before the new year, everyone likes to make predictions

Medvedev published forecasts for 2023 with the partition of Poland and the collapse of the EU
