Just a month later and...
🇪🇺 ChatControl is back!
Now they're trying to pass an even more far reaching ChatControl law through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan, without needing any of the EU countries votes
The new proposal:
- total mandatory surveillance of ALL text chats, emails and social media in the EU
- obligatory registration of your ID/passport to your chat, email or social media account
- minimum age requirement for chat, email and social media apps of 16 (!)
The only way to stop this law is if EU countries veto it

🇪🇺 So good to see the world wake up to the terrors of the European Commission
I hope all the attention helps European people via their country's governments force the European Union to reform and redesign its structure to one that's actually democratic
No indirect appointment of corrupt cronies but actual democracy close to the people
It also makes no sense to have 720 members of the European Parliament, it's simply too much and makes it too inefficient
The real cancer rotting the EU from within though is the European Commission which should be disbanded and replaced with a democratic body
FYI the European Commission consists of 32,000 paid civil servants and all it does it create laws that nobody agrees with
Europeans, you should keep posting about the terrors of the European Commission and vote parties into power in your country that can put real pressure on the EU to change and reform

I've been annoyingly saying this on X for years and people never believe it
Most people are still fat or cardioholics and only run or play padel
You have to lift weights, it improves your nervous system, it stops or reverts guaranteed (!) muscle atrophy and bone density loss after age 30 meaning you will AGE LESS FAST and age more healthily
Which is why I, as a not really athletic person (was just skinny 50kg/100lbs) started lifting around that age
Now I try lift 4x per week, I'm not skinny anymore, close to 80kg/160lbs, so I gained 30kg/60lbs (almost doubled in mass, so there's 1.6x Pieter's now!), much more muscle and 15% fat (now I wanna try get that to I don't know 12%?)
And the biggest benefits are mental: I'm not anxious anymore, not depressed, not neurotic, just mostly chill and zen
When I stop going to the gym for a week or two they come back fast though!
I'm not a ripped super chad, and you don't really become that so easily but I am very fit and healthy now and can carry lots of stuff
And everyone I meet thinks I'm in my 20s, so the anti-aging part worked
Start lifting (and cardio too of course you need both)
Future you will THANK you as I thank Pieter from ~8 years ago 🤝

I'm always surprised why the Koreans didn't get richer
I studied there, I lived there and I don't really have a real strong reason why
They work really hard
I guess one thing that could be a barrier is that in public life nobody can be direct and everything is ruled by unwritten rules of behavior (a lot like Japan) that they can only escape in private settings or when they get drunk
Not being direct slows things down a lot especially in innovation
In Korean startups I remember they'd use English names to avoid the hierarchy that came with Korean names (like you add words to the name for people older or younger than you etc. which would mean you can't rly go against ppl older than you)
In China everyone I meet is hyper direct, pragmatic and very open (kinda like how I try to be on here and IRL)
Maybe that's part of it?

What in the F is an AI factory?
I had to investigate what the unelected @EU_Commission is talking about today
So according to them, it's some data centers (which they call supercomputers) in 6 different EU countries
I checked out the most powerful one: Karolina, a Czech data center, it mostly has CPUs though (see pic) not GPUs, so mostly useless for AI
The GPUs it does have are 72x 8x NVIDIA A100 GPU, so 576x A100, or equivalent of 240x H100s
(H100 is about 2.4x the compute power of A100)
So let's compare that:
@xAI has 200,000x H100 GPUs
So the xAI data center has 800x more compute than the Czech one
If we combine xAI, Meta, AWS, etc. it's about 750,000 H100s
If we assume the other 5 data centers in the EU are equivalent to the Czech one (which is massive stretch because most of the others seem AI consultacny services, they don't even HAVE chips!), the EU's new "AI factories" have a total of 1,440x H100 GPUs, let's round up to 1,500 to be nice
So the EU is trying to compete with 750,000 GPUs with their own 1,500 GPUs, so 500x less??
Correct me if I'm wrong but it's just seems very low impact and another ridiculous idea and burning of EU tax payers money that will end up in local cronies and bureaucrats and will do NOTHING to improve the AI business climate for Europe
The best way to improve it is to deregulate, make it super easy and low tax (especially when starting out) to start AI companies in Europe

🇵🇹 If you're flying to Portugal from outside Europe, NEVER fly directly into Lisbon
Fly into a different European airport like Amsterdam or Paris
Then take an EU flight with EasyJet/RyanAir to Lisbon, that way you can skip the 3+ hour immigration queue because intra-EU flights don't have immigration checks
This has been my workflow the last year or so 👌

Me 5 minutes after meeting somebody new: it's of utmost importance for you to
- open a broker account and buy Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating (VUAA), and
- take 10g creatine per day yes 5g was the previous recommendation but after 5g the benefits are cognitive and in studies it delays Alzheimer
- start lifting weights 3-4 times per week, strength training avoids guaranteed age-related muscle atrophy and bone density loss, no running is not enough, you need both strength training and cardio, get a personal trainer to check your form
- build a business or SaaS so you can escape the system of employee servitude which is generally built to exploit you, the only way to get really rich is own your own business and the earlier you start the sooner you'll succeed because it takes years to understand how to do a business so better start now
- as a guy you probably have low testosterone, it's an epidemic due to our processed food and soil depletion due to intense farming, you don't realize this is completely affecting your identity and behavior as a man, and in turn your relationships with women, and as a woman similarly your hormones are imbalanced too
- fix your hormones to how they should be (like they were 100 years ago) by working out, lifting weights (both for men and women), cardio and a clean diet of whole foods (meat, veg, fruit, eggs, water) and no processed food (whatever is made in a factory, eg 90% what's sold in stores)
- get therapy if you need, it's good if it solves things (like cognitive behavioral therapy) but it should always be combined with heavy workouts and a clean diet
- live near your friends because especially for men of middle age (your future) there is a loneliness epidemic, so to avoid this hang out with your friends every week (even if your gf/bf blocks this, override it, it's of utmost important for your mental health)
That's it for now 😊

This is 100% it
Mamdani is the left's Trump and he won cause he properly addresses the issues people care about now
And worldwide young people struggle leaving their parent's house because they can't find an affordable place to buy or rent
Almost every issue right now follows back to there's not enough houses and now it's starting to affect society with radical left leaders getting elected
They almost certainly have the wrong solutions, but they 100% address the right issues
Almost everywhere in the world we should be agressively building more homes and making it easier to do so, so everyone can afford a roof above their head
If we don't, they will start electing these leaders everywhere and you really don't want to see where that ends
Build more homes for everybody!!!!

🇪🇺 As a European citizen and AI founder, I can apparently use these "AI Factories", so I just signed up to use them!
Every "supercomputer" has an [ ACCESS NOW ] button which made me very excited
I expected to sign up, maybe pay a discounted H100 rate (funded by EU, that'd be nice?) and get a Jypyter notebook, or some SSH login so I can access my GPU like I'd do on @lambdaapi or @awscloud or @Hetzner_Online
But I celebrated to early, I signed up, confirmed my email, then ended up in a "Supercomputer Access Calls" page, where I had to select from a tedious list of "Call For Proposals" to get access to a GPU
So I could NOT just access a H100 GPU, I have to make sure my project (in this case my business) fits a specific proposal, ok fair
This process was already tedious enough but then when I tried to actually go through with it, it started asking me if I had "Respect for Human Agency?", I do I think, and if I was mindful of "Individual, and Social and Environmental Well-Being?", well I am, right guys??? Right??? The questions didn't stop, just endless pages of this
Look I get what they're doing, they pivoted the classic university "I need to rent a giant computer for my research" to an EU wide thing and then present it as the "European AI plan"
But this isn't really how AI works in production? As a founder in AI, if I wanna do stuff I'd rent a whole bunch H100 GPUs again at @lambdaapi or @awscloud or @Hetzner_Online and SSH into a box
Or if I want it more simple I run AI models on @FAL, @wavespeed or @replicate which is just an API call or web front end I can click stuff and run a model
The EU has the right intentions here but it's just the wrong execution, this thing will 100% go nowhere, and I'm a born optimist, I want to believe, I'm also a proud European, and I'm in AI a bit and not a complete idiot. There's just better ways to do this
If you really want to have the GPU servers in Europe (which arguably isn't that important), then let me rent a GPU box with SSH access at @Hetzner_Online or @OVHcloud that's hosted in Europe and subsidize that for European citizens and European businesses. I don't even believe in that, but at least that'd make it accessible for Europeans. Now it really isn't?
What's REALLY much more important though if you want to be a part of the AI race and I've posted for years here with @euaccofficial is to make Europe a really extremely attractive place to start and run an AI business. Remove regulatory obstructions and give tax discounts for startups. Let them build a business first that can compete worldwide and once they make enough money (let's say $100M/y), then slowly start adding regulation. Because right now the regulation only benefits the European incumbents, the dinosaur companies, while making it very difficult for European citizens to start new AI companies here.
Which is why we literally have none left.
Anyway, I applied to get my GPU, let's see if I get it!

I'm unable to convince normies that AI detectors don't work and probably will never ever work because of basics of AI which I think is
More advanced models might be able detect AI in inferior models (like GPT-5 reading GPT-3 output)
But an advanced model can't detect AI in output of an equally advanced model I think
It doesn't matter though, normies want AI detectors to exist and work so they do, to them

Hating capitalism as an artist is the single most capitalist thing you can do
The biggest market for music is young people and for them it's fashionable to hate capitalism
If you say you hate capitalism too, your audience then connects with you on a primal level
That makes you very popular and helps you increases your plays of your music and sales of your shows and merchandise
Then if you can keep your net worth hidden for long enough you can keep saying you hate capitalism and make more money
Until at some point you have $100M and they stop believing it but by then your audience is 30 years old and don't care anymore and you become a retro artist they like to listen to out of nostalgia

Sergey Brin is still % owner of Google (or Alphabet) together with Larry Page
But more importantly together they own 87.4% of all Class-B voting shares which give them 51.4% total voting power
Imagine being a dev or product creator with Sergey by your side, whenever Google's bureaucracy (which they have a lot of) tries to get you stuck, you just message Sergey and he gives the go-ahead
You essentially have a free pass to make anything, ship anything and launch anything without much constraints
That makes Google operate like a small startup again and that's why they're winning again I think

It's probably hard for Americans to imagine this because it's their normal
But being European and living in Europe and being radically honest when I arrive in America the main feeling I get is just endless abundance
Non-honest (I'd say many to most) Europeans will not be able to deal with this abundance and start coping "zOmG but if you hit your knee you will go bankrupt cause healthcare bills" and "look at the homeless tents" and "lol look at the Amerifats!!!"
Even if fully true, that's kinda besides the point, the range of America is much wider, the bottoms are lower and the peaks are higher
People are (in some ways literally) hungry to work and climb the social ladder which even if worse now than it ever was is still much more present in America than it is in Europe
I can barely get people to come to my house to do construction work in Europe, while in America I'd have them working the same day, because people want money, because unlike Europe there's not much free gov money
That makes the system more oiled in a way because people WANT to work and that makes people work and build things
The problem is most Europeans will never ever respect "the hustle", they're stuck in the socialized welfare systems that worked in the 1960s and fairness, which is an absolutely beautiful ideal but stops working when you run out of money like Europe does now in 2025

My Brazilian gf couldn't believe it when she asked my dad what he'd want for lunch he said "oh just a slice of bread and cheese or something"
I'm Dutch and I'm not exaggerating that this is literally what most Dutch people have for lunch
A piece of bread with a slice of cheese with a glass of milk
But they're tall so maybe it works!

🇨🇳 Arriving in Chongqing is craaaazy, they designed it well so you drive into the city from the airport immediately seeing the crazy lit up skyline
They just put a LED strip on literally every edge or line or road in the city and lit it up
It's so funny seeing Europe try to save the climate by using less energy when obviously China could not give any less fucks (as they should) and just spends more and more energy (because they know to develop society you have to spend energy, as the Kardashev Scale describes)

🇪🇺 Something is finally happening!
EU is:
- scaling down the GDPR (data privacy laws)
- watering down the AI Act (more like AI Ban), and
- finally removing the Cookie Banner laws
This gets us a bit closer to the top eu/acc ideas being reached

One of the main things I learnt from the fall of the Spanish and Portuguese empires is that they both never re-invested their wealth
They instead built gold plated palaces (see the one in Mafra full of Brazilian gold) and other types opulence
And they thought the colonies would remain forever so they were fully dependent on the wealth from there (sugar, gold, silver, coffee)
But once they became independent, they lost a large share of their GDP overnight, Portugal lost about 80% of their income after Brazil went independent in 1822!
If they would instead have re-invested the wealth, they could have developed industry and new businesses but they became resource dependent instead
One interesting thing about the relatively young states of UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia is that they do exactly that. UAE and Qatar heavily invest their oil money to become destinations to live and Saudi Arabia is one of the top investors in tech startups worldwide
On a personal level I also learnt from this to do the same, don't waste the money you made on assets that don't return (like cars, boats, general opulence)
Instead try to re-invest most of it so you get income from new sources so that if the income sources that made you the wealth (for me my startups) eventually dry up (almost guaranteed in business, see the business or "product life cycle") you have already switched to the new industry
I personally do that through ETFs, stocks, real estate and a little bit of startup investing
So yes don't be like the Spanish or Portuguese empire 👌

If Japan has lights, omg it's soooo futuristic UwU
If China has lights, it's a waste of energy, light pollution and unhealthy

Millions of views on me not being able to get an EU GPU
If this was about Google @OfficialLoganK would be in the replies promising a fix
If it was about xAI @elonmusk would see it himself probably
Meanwhile the only thing the @EU_Commission has posted is to be cautious of fake news!
The EU doesn't even monitor their mentions on here and they definitely don't reply nor does the EU's president @vonderleyen
Which is funny because the biggest companies in AI here do, they reply on here to hear feedback and improve their trillion dollar companies
It's just crazy to me how disconnected the EU is from European citizens now: there's no dialogue, it's just a one way street of imposing rules and regulation and burning billions of € of European people's money with little checks or balances
It's very frustrating but Europe is our homeland so we should keep fighting for it

The morning after posting this photo in Tokyo, a stranger awaited me in the lobby of my hotel
I went for breakfast and while passing through the lobby, someone on the sofa there turned around and said "Hello Pieter 🤝 "
I was like WTF 😳
It turns out he was an indie hacker living in Japan (not Japanese, but Western), who'd been waiting all morning to meet me
He figured out which hotel I was staying at just from the photo below
I had a chat with him and he was nice, he had a regular job in Japan and wanted to build his own business too, all friendly and nice and fine
But still it did make me remember that rule to never post photos in a place until you've left! Because you may get instantly d0xed and visited by people
I guess obvious in 2025
Especially in a time where AI can find where any photo is taken in literally seconds, even up to the floor number you stay in a hotel, I stayed at floor 37 and it correctly guessed the range (33-38)
Beware!

Lifting heavy weights is proven to work better against depression than any medication
And personally I know why
I just lifted extremely heavy (for my standards), today was squats and deadlifts (with personal trainer)
It's now an hour after and I am mostly unable to think, I am in a state of zen trance silence, there is literally nothing in my brain left
Just an empty space and these words flying through
If I stop writing this it's just silence and nothignness
If I was depressed which I'm not, I wouldn't be able to be depressed right now, because I'm not able to be nothing right now, I barely exist, I just am and that's it
It's hard to explain until you do like really heavy (again for my standards) like above 100kg/200lbs and many reps and you don't get the effect below your bodyweight in my experience
Which makes it hard to explain this to people starting out lifting because it takes a long time to build up to heavy weight safely and then you really see the mental benefits
It's probably similar to runner's high but different?
Lifter's high?
Anyway go try it!

The story gets stranger...
Apparently I was never able to use the 🇪🇺 EU's GPUs in the first place
Because I wasn't on their pre-approved organization list of "Horizon 2020"
So how can you join the Horizon 2020 list as an organization?
Well, you can't. It was made in 2014 and closed in 2020!

Reducing AC usage, reducing emmissions, paper straws etc., it's all just incredibly performative
Meaning it's an act for show, not something that actually contributes to saving the environment or stopping climate change
Especially in the case of Singapore, a tiny city state with barely any impact on the environment
What's funny is that China keeps using more and more energy while getting richer and richer and nobody is going to stop them
And the Western nations have essentially outsourced their pollution to China, so they go down on the emissions charts while China goes up
Nothing actually changes and it's all one big performative act
So the only effect of putting the AC to 27°C/81°F is your people sleep worse, are less productive and become noticeably dumber
Meanwhile the Chinese keep spending more energy, will sleep better, become more productive, and get smarter and richer!
