One of the things that the Cuban government has done right is its medical industry. The Cuban government is able to create world class doctors relatively cheaply and can provide relatively good health care given its relative poverty.

A normalization of US-Cuba relations is likely going to open up Cuba to American tourism.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a massive influx of Americans going to Cuba to get medical treatment there.

The modified question takes a step back and asks why isn’t any EU innovation being used to create EU tech champions that can compete on the level of any US tech champion.

Losing in one tech monopoly could be bad luck. Losing in all tech monopolies indicates that there may be major structural problems in the EU preventing these kinds of companies being created.

Probably kinda.

I imagine that someone who can’t draw for crap using AI to create the visual component to their stories. They may also use AI to create character “voices” who say things in their specific manner

Manga production costs drop as a writer doesn’t need as many skills to write them and the AI handles more of the heavy lifting when it comes to generating content.

Eventually one of these slop mangas becomes popular enough to get animated. Since it is animated, it becomes a lot easier to make. My guess is that the beginning looks like AI empowered rotoscoping, human actors provide the movements which become the basis of animated characters. You can even do voice modulation too, so the vocal performance gets swapped to the right voice.

These animes might be less popular, but if they are being made at a fraction of the cost of human animation.

What if you rephrased the question to “Why isn’t there a major EU computer/Internet company?”

The funny thing is that normalization of Cuban relations is only going to royally piss off the medical industry in the USA.

It’s the bosses, but it appears to be an industry wide issue instead of just one company.

It looks like you’re doing a great job at protecting yourself against a horrible life, but it looks like you haven’t planned out creating a good life.

I’d save your money and have it grow, but I’d start looking into low/no cost hobbies or something to add some joy in your life.

Nah.

The problem is that AAA gaming hasn’t really innovated that much in the last decade while development costs go up to fund better visuals. Worse, consumers won’t pay for the higher development costs.

I’m surprised that the gaming industry is as large as it is.

It depended on the country. Countries like the UK and Poland played a major role in fighting operations and deserve praise for their contributions.

Other NATO countries contributed a lot less.

A lot of people are like that. It is just that the rich are able to do something about it.

No, but I have things I like to do outside of work and my work funds those activities.

Based on your responses, it seems like the only thing you like to do is to see your net worth go up. Any reason why you don’t have any hobbies?

Do you like working?

If you didn’t have to work, what would you do? Do you still want to work? Would you do something else? Do you have any hobbies?

I’m asking because I’m planning on taking a sabbatical from work because I’m tired of working and I want to enjoy some time away from work.

I’m not surprised. Lemmy’s activity has been pretty static. I know some people want Lemmy and federated social media to grow, so these accounts make sense.

No country wants to build a tech infrastructure that they don’t control.

He didn’t. Mamdani won a majority of NYC, but he lost the conservative parts to Cuomo.

That said, Mamdani got a decent amount of small business support for campaigning on streamlining a lot of the city’s regulations to bring down costs. This includes getting rid of the secondary market for various medallions.

I don’t know if it is purposeful. It just seems to be a side effect of the market going all in on AI.

A grandparent did before they died. I read it; it was ok.

The issue with Colbert is that economics is part of the reason why CBS cancelled the Late Show.

I’m sure that getting rid of the show to give Trump a favor was a plus, but late night television has seen audiences drop for decades. It is made even worse as video podcasts are taking up a lot of the role that late night talk shows used to take and are now popular enough that they are giving out awards for them.

I also don’t think that Paramount was as strategic about Colbert as Disney was with Kimmel or NBC is with Fallon. Disney commonly uses Kimmel as a way to promote other Disney IP. NBC now uses the Tonight Show as an extension of SNL to promote writing talent before they move on to different shows. In contrast, Colbert doesn’t really have any big clips with Star Trek actors.

So, there are people telling you how to ship packages to a hotel, which is fine. The issue is going to be if eBay will let you. Having packages sent to a hotel is likely going to trigger a lot of fraud warnings, especially as your account is from another country.
