ChatGPT in Germany in 2027
Yesterday France announced tax of €0.055 per GB on internet traffic Today Germany is considering taxing all AI-generated revenue You will see European countries keep clawing more and more money from foreign companies as they are slowly running out of money themselves to pay for their pensions and welfare state Add to this the planned wealth taxes and exit taxes on any European who will try to leave (already active in many EU countries) Europe is running out of money
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post inaccurately claims France "announced" a data tax; it was a narrow 11-10 vote on a budget amendment in a near-empty chamber, opposed by the government and far from law. German AI tax ideas remain unadopted ministerial discussions without formal proposals. stephanelarue.com/taxe-au-gigaoc… tagesschau.de/inland/ministe… davemanuel.com/2026/10/30/wha…

This is true across the board. EU has been making decisions based on fear
I use Grokbot heavily every day. It’s mind-boggling how much potential and productivity the EU is wasting by blocking always-on agents like OpenAI’s Dot, Meta’s Muse, and others. Good for Grokbot. Bad for Europe.

C'est absolument fascinant Quand j'étais petit, j'adorais les livres qui montraient des coupes transversales de châteaux, de navires ou de machines Je pouvais passer des heures à regarder chaque pièce, chaque personnage, chaque mécanisme Aujourd'hui, je demande à l'IA de générer ces planches pour mon fils, puis je les imprime Quelques exemples de sujets qui fonctionnent particulièrement bien : 1. Un galion anglais du XVIe siècle 2. Une locomotive à vapeur du XIXe siècle 3. Un sous-marin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale 4. Une cathédrale gothique du XIIIe siècle 5. Un paquebot transatlantique comme le Titanic 6. La fusée Saturn V du programme Apollo 7. Un phare maritime du XIXe siècle 8. Un château fort du XIVe siècle Et le plus intéressant, c'est qu'on peut quasiment tout explorer de cette manière Je vous partage le prompt universel pour reproduire ce style et créer vos propres encyclopédies illustrées

The video is AI-generated from a popular 2026 Russian social media trend using tools like Kling and Seedance to create clips of champagne spraying from G-Class SUVs at night. It is not real footage. aimarketcap.ru/prompts/video-… itsnew.ru/stati/kak-sdel…

I pre-emptively disconnected ALL my sites / VPS servers from the web I'll wait for the patch to hit at 2 PM UTC If you have a PHP website, probably good to take them down until you patch PHP 69.3% of the web runs on PHP so this is going to be intense! Good time maybe to buy cybersecurity stocks? (not financial advice)

“[Hangzhou] is without doubt the finest and most splendid city in the world” — Marco Polo I'm just as impressed in the 21st century as Polo was in the 13th. What a remarkable city! So green, so walkable, so beautiful.

Typical EU. They want to regulate before it has even spread or become common.
German chancellor Merz asks Jensen Huang for advice on how Europe should regulate AI. Jensen: “You can’t regulate if there’s no technology.” “The technology industry must invent the technology for safety. […] Safety is not hopes and dreams. Safety is technology and engineering. Second, the companies need to have best practices. […] And then lastly there’s industrial and government regulations. […] Regulating the internet is hard, but regulating internet applications is not so hard. We should be regulating the applications right way. […] There’s nothing to regulate if the industry doesn’t thrive. You want the German AI industry to thrive as well as do it safely, responsibly. […] We know there’s technology we can invent and deploy in order to have AI safety. We know that there are best practices that we can adhere to as companies and industries. And then in addition to that, if necessary, we’ll make sure we regulate.”

🇩🇪 Nvidia's Jensen Huang CORNERED German Chancellor Merz on the old EU regulation playbook "I've also heard you say that you want to find that balance between innovation and regulation. There's nothing to regulate if the industry doesn't thrive." Europe keeps reaching for the rulebook before the companies even get off the ground. Writer: Lucas

I'd never heard of the Chinese car brand that just drove us back to the hotel in Shenzhen, but the interior was as nice or nicer than a top-spec Mercedes S class and the 20-minute drive was $6. Germany should be very worried indeed.
