Norja kiristi varakkaiden verotusta vuosina 2021-2024. Tuoreessa tutkimuksessa analysoidaan veronkorotusten vaikutuksia. Veronkorotukset eivät vähentäneet investointeja tai lisänneet konkursseja. Tulosten mukaan varallisuusverotuksen lyhyen aikavälin kustannukset ovat pienempiä kuin usein väitetään

Hiljenikö sosiaalisen median kuplastasi viime päivinä joku aktiivinen, vahvasti omia poliittisia mielipiteitään jakava käyttäjä? Kyseessä saattoi olla venäläinen botti. Ukrainan iskut Yandexin datakeskuksiin näyttävät lamauttaneen ison osan venäläisten operoimista bottitileistä somessa. #uutiset
We are in the "factors leading up to..." part of the history books. Investment money in the West being singularly focused to rapidly build huge electricity sinks called data centers is just perfect timing. That same money could be spent on electricity production and green transition.
"Jos vaalit pidettäisiin nyt, yksinyrittäjistä vasemmistoliittoa äänestäisi 17 prosenttia ja kokoomusta 6 prosenttia. Suuremmissa, 5–9 hengen mikroyrityksissä asetelma on päinvastainen: kokoomusta äänestäisi 31 prosenttia ja vasemmistoliittoa 1 prosentti." Melkoinen kahtiajako.
Quite a lot of people are understandably confused about the very real fact that Russia is a threat to NATO, while they haven't even been able to beat Ukraine. This should help explain the basics. youtu.be/Joav8l7v26A

So we know AI helped a negligible number of students. But how many did it harm? I've crunched the raw data provided by the lead researcher, and what I've found is that ~9,500 students using AI studied less than even the *least* studious, non-AI using student. This should shock the conscience.
Both the Economist and others suggest this study demonstrates that AI can help students. So I contacted the lead researcher to figure out how many. Answer: Out of ~26,000 kids, a total of 20. And five months after starting to use AI, only four continued to spend 65 minutes on homework. Four.

The court case this was related to was dropped due to a combination of technical reasons and because she was threatened and ended up pulling her statement. factually.co/fact-checks/... However this interview is still on public record.
