Every frontier AI model has researchers with access Would not be surprised if we will see more "leaks" of these models in the future after todays US stunt

Waarom is Wilders de enige Nederlandse politicus die zich hier over uitspreekt? Dit had jaren geleden al een agendapunt moeten zijn
I want my #Anthropic Claude Fable 5 back! We must excellerate building our own. AI is more and more national sovereignty.

Here we go Restricting access to frontier models based on nationality and geography This will probably just be the start of the AI inequality We really need to step it up in the EU if we want to stay relevant @NXT4EU
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US government orders Anthropic to suspend foreign access to Mythos Fable 5 AI model, citing national security concerns. Anthropic has disabled access for all users worldwide.

For some reason The Netherlands seems to very quickly be turning into a dystopia where private property and freedom are quickly eroding
I think not many people is aware of the insanity of exit taxes in Europe. You think you are free? Of course not. Let me share more about NL exit tax. The Netherlands has an “exit tax” for entrepreneurs. But calling it a tax is misleading. It’s closer to a financial exit visa. Here’s how it works in practice: Imagine you spent 5 years building a company in Amsterdam. You took the risk. You worked nights and weekends. You paid corporate taxes, payroll taxes, VAT, income tax. Eventually your consulting/AI firm reaches: €5M annual revenue €1.2M profit €3M cash in the bank You own the shares through a Dutch holding BV. Now imagine you decide to leave the country. Not sell the company. Not IPO. Not cash out. Just leave. Maybe you want: lower taxes better weather geopolitical diversification to raise your children elsewhere or simply freedom of movement The moment you emigrate, the Dutch state pretends you SOLD your company. Even though you didn’t. This is called the “conserverende aanslag.” A fictional sale. On fictional gains. Generating a very real tax assessment. And the numbers get absurd very quickly. Example: Your company: generates €1M yearly cash flow has €3M sitting in the bank gets valued at ~€6M by the tax authority The Netherlands then calculates: “Okay, your shares increased by €6M. You owe Box 2 tax on that.” Current rates: 24.5% then 31% Result? You can receive a tax assessment approaching €2 MILLION… …despite not selling a single share. Read that again carefully. No liquidity event. No acquisition. No money in your pocket. You simply changed residency. Defenders of the system immediately say: “Yes, but payment is deferred.” This is where things become psychologically fascinating. Because the state effectively says: “We won’t collect immediately. But we now have a permanent claim attached to your company.” A kind of invisible mortgage on your future. And it can remain there indefinitely. Then come the triggers. If later: you distribute dividends you restructure you sell shares you liquidate you violate compliance conditions …the Dutch tax authority can activate collection. Meaning: even after you leave, the Dutch state still shadows the future of your company. Now let’s talk about the truly dystopian part: GOODWILL. For founder-led consulting firms, the value often IS the founder. The relationships. The expertise. The reputation. The intellectual network. The ability to close clients. In many cases, if the founder disappears, much of the business disappears too. Yet the tax authority can still argue: “No, no. The company itself has transferable enterprise value.” So now you enter a surreal negotiation where bureaucrats attempt to price: your future reputation your future relationships your future earning power your future client trust The state literally tries to quantify your human capital before allowing you to leave. And this is not fringe theory. Dutch valuation teams use: DCF models EBITDA multiples goodwill assumptions future cash flow projections …to estimate what your company might be worth. Not what you sold it for. What they THINK it is worth. Imagine explaining this to an American entrepreneur: “You can leave the country, but first we calculate a hypothetical sale of your startup and issue a multimillion-euro tax claim based on unrealized gains.” They would think you are describing the Soviet Union. And before people scream: “but all countries tax!” No. This is different. This is taxation attached to MOVEMENT. That distinction matters. A normal tax says: “You earned money.” An exit tax says: “You are attempting to leave.” That changes the philosophical nature of the relationship between citizen and state. At some point it stops resembling taxation and starts resembling permissioned mobility. Especially because the system creates behavioral lock-in. Founders begin asking: Should I leave before growth accelerates? Should I suppress valuation? Should I avoid accumulating cash? Should I avoid long-term contracts? Should I move BEFORE success? Think about how insane that is. The tax system starts influencing: where founders live how companies are structured when growth is pursued whether capital stays in the country And Europe wonders why founders eventually relocate to: Dubai Singapore Switzerland Miami Cyprus The real irony? Politicians claim they want: innovation entrepreneurship AI leadership startup ecosystems But the moment a founder becomes globally mobile and valuable, the state says: “Not so fast.” Build in Europe. Scale globally. But if you leave, we’ll first calculate your hypothetical future and attach a tax claim to it. That is not a free market. We are not free.

One day I’ll be this good at rage baiting another banger 😹
My wife slept at her boyfriend's place and came back with a black eye "What happened?!" I asked "Omar hit me. I want to call the police" she said crying I hugged her "No need to bother police officers" I said calmly She looked at me, shaking "Omar is North African. That’s just how their men are, passionate and dominant" I said "But he really hurt me" she said "Sweetheart, you chose a real man. You told me you loved how rough he gets and how he takes control" "Yes, but..." "You can’t impose your Western feminist standards on him. Don’t take it personally, baby" I kissed her forehead, she still smelled like his sweat Of course violence is bad, but we can’t judge other cultures by our Western standards

Twaalf medewerkers van het Nijmeegse Radboudumc hebben een kans dat ze besmet zijn geraakt met het hantavirus. Het ziekenhuis is niet volgens de voorschriften omgegaan met het bloed en de urine van de patiënt van het cruiseschip Hondius, die sinds donderdag in Nijmegen is opgenomen. ad.nl/binnenland/live-hantav…

This is really impressive and cool to see Also something I didn't know until I was like 30 or something, is that women are actually physiologically far better equipped for endurance sports
🚨HISTORY MADE! Rachel Entrekin just won the Cocodona 250 outright — first woman ever to take the OVERALL title! The 250-mile race from Phoenix to Flagstaff was an absolute beast, and she crushed it in 56:09:48, smashing the previous course record by over 2 hours. 13 minute mile pace for 56 hours! She only slept 3 times the entire race (one 5-min nap two 7-min naps) and still dropped the entire elite men's field. Absolute legend!

Mogen we al aannemen dat de KLM stewardess besmet is met het Hantavirus? Dat zou nu toch wel bekend moeten zijn Men zou denken dat wanneer het geen hanta zou zijn, dat dat van de daken geschreeuwd zou worden
Wat deze hele hantavirus-toestand wel goed aantoont is hoe buitenlandse media meer informatie verschaffen dan NL media. Deze hele toestand komt doordat Leo en Mirjam Schilperoord vogels gingen observeren op een vuilnisbelt vol ratten in Zuid-Argentinië. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

Meanwhile This infected person was at the airport and on board of this flight Potentially infecting everyone she got in contact with Maybe used the bathroom on board of the plane before she was sent off? Then that plane landed in Amsterdam Schiphol and everyone on that plane went on their way like nothing happened…

Een overleden Nederlandse hantapatiënt zat op 25 april in een KLM-vliegtuig. Voordat het toestel vertrok, besloot de crew de passagier niet mee te nemen en in Johannesburg achter te laten. Even later is de persoon overleden in de Zuid-Afrikaanse stad. ad.nl/buitenland/overleden-n…
