I'm just going to say it, boycotting AI is naive and performative. It's just another version of trying to vote your way out of problems. It doesn't work. The reality is that these tools are here to stay. The real solution isn't to complain, but to build open, transparent, and community-driven alternatives to the privacy invading corporate nightmare.

A systematic review of 69 peer-reviewed studies reports 333 individual cases and early population data linking COVID-19 vaccination or infection to unusually rapid cancer progression or new onset of hematologic and solid tumors. While not proving causation, these consistent clinical observations constitute an early safety signal. The findings highlight an urgent need for rigorous longitudinal and mechanistic studies to clarify any potential risk.

Europe faces a crisis of sovereignty over Greenland, pressured by US hegemonic threats. Its current appeasement and illusion that transatlantic ties are a "strategic asset" only embolden coercion. Surrendering Greenland would cost Europe its Arctic voice and lock it into a subservient role. If Europe abandons international law and principles now, it will betray its foundational values and accelerate a return to a lawless world.
Faced with hegemonic coercion, Europe can no longer pretend to be asleep: Global Times editorial - Global Times
The more Europe appeases hegemony, the more the hegemon will take advantage of it.
