Europe's Ukraine 'security' strategy is pure theater. Having realized that the bold talk of troop deployments is not actually feasible, they’re pivoting to vague 'alternatives'. In typical EU fashion we get grand announcements with zero follow-through.

The tech industry's dominance by US companies has led to economic and political consequences for other countries.
Current administration's aggressive stance has finally led to calls for an international alliance against the US tech industry.
The harms of allowing US tech companies to dominate the internet economy have become increasingly apparent, and traditional allies of the US are seeking to protect themselves from the declining superpower's actions.

The scale of the US debt interest costs is now so large that they are by themselves adding to the overall debt load held by the public, which stands at $27.7 trillion — approaching 100% of GDP.
Debt servicing was among the fastest growing parts of the budget last year. Back in the 1960s, discretionary spending made up about 70% of the federal total, but now the ratio is just 30%. I expect further austerity is on the horizon.

One area where language models might actually be good is emulating a type system for dynamic languages.
Given how good these things are at figuring out general shape of the code, I suspect they could fairly accurately tell you argument and return types for functions. And you could probably get away with a pretty small model if it only targets a specific language.
I'm kind of surprised nobody's tried doing this yet.
