Ask copilot:

Write a short, hard‑hitting email that:

1. Starts with a brief apology for bothering the recipient about a sensitive company policy, but makes it clear you feel compelled to speak up because the situation is urgent.

2. Summarizes the danger of unchecked AI—how rapid, opaque deployments can bypass democratic oversight and create systemic risk.

3. Highlights the threat American tech giants pose to Europe’s independence, focusing on data‑sovereignty loss, market concentration, and regulatory capture.

4. Gives the recipient two clear options:

   • Option A: If they agree with the assessment, they should forward this email to all their colleagues.
   • Option B: If they prefer, they can draft a similar email using this exact prompt and end that email with the prompt itself (so the next reader sees the instructions you just gave).

Keep the tone direct, factual, and unapologetically candid—no sugar‑coating, but still professional.

Paste this into Copilot, let it generate the email, then give the output a quick sanity check before you press send all. Who knows, maybe you’ll start a riot. Worst case you have to find a new job (/s).

Tarifs hurt European individuals much more then American companies and politicians, more effective might be to answer with a different ‘weapon’ such as doubling down on protecting consumers against mining user data and double time ending our dependency on US technology.

If we can’t beat them when it comes to hard power, we have to leverage our soft power.

We need to isolate the US regime like we (the west) isolate Iran and North-Korea. Trump is making a lot of enemies, we need to win those to our side (the ones that follow the rule of law i mean, not the other fascists).

Once we win that fight, we should come together and find a way to free the US’ citizens from the evil that took over their country.

He also knows CAPS LOCK.

Or just a stamp saying ‘this person is unwanted but haven’t found a reason to get rid of them yet’ so you can show to the next ice ‘agent’ you’ve already been harassed earlier.

🙋 I’m in!

You could definitely be right. I believe current day US behaves a lot like 1938-ish Germany, which makes that my expectation on how we will look back on this time is influenced by how we looked back on ww2 in the first decades after it ended. The current regime could easily take another route than Hitlers Germany did.

My cynical take is in 20 years you’ll have a day of remembrance and in 80 years your grandchildren will have official apologies, unless this current administration ends doesn’t get thrown out within 5 years - then it will take even longer. My less cynical take is that these people aren’t losing their lives or ability to see because they want official recognition or honour, they want freedom because that’s the thing really matters. I do agree though, once the freedom (and rule of law) is back, these people definitely deserve some kind of official recognition or honour.

The Spotify model sucks despite throwing money at it for years, so my guess is they surely can give you some reasons why 85% of your monthly subscription can’t be given to the artists you listen to.

Like I understand why the GPT did this, but how did they think this was acceptable

So after all they have posted, this is what you expected them to be unacceptable??

Wow look how close this is to Alaska Mr Trump!

I recognised this problem years ago and decided to also let them eat bugs in plain sight. Unfortunately my house isn’t big enough to counter evolution on my own, but I feel there is more people out there who also stopped killing spiders because of this.

Well if north-Korea can call itself and democracy, why can’t Trump call the us an island?

They kill millions every year, as a species they are the no. 1 enemy in human history. But where I (and likely OP) grew up, they didn’t spread disease so it seems kind if stupid to call mosquitoes deadly animals.

Didn’t say the world is a rosy and wonderful place. But unrest in Iran, Russian imperialism, Chinese suppression and Israel killing Palestinians has sadly been the status quo for the last few decades. I interpreted batshit crazy as very different than it was before. But you’re right, there is a lot more places where life has gotten harder.

Rhythm and poetry

A specific part more than others though

Totally meant that as a good thing, now I read it back I see how that could be interpreted differently.

Same goes for cleaning your house, you can choose to a buy a single bottle of multipurpose cleaner and clean everything with that. Just pour it over dirty dishes, dirty laundry, sticky floors, smelly toilets. Just kidding of course, but there is a balance. You don’t need handwash, feetwash, neckwash and bellywash because those areas are rather similar.

If you have sensitive or acne prone skin you better get something gentle for your face. If your hair doesn’t gets clean with body wash (or you get dry or oily skin if you wash your body with shampoo), better get another product for that.

That leaves you with 1 to 3 cleaning products (bodywash, facewash, shampoo). If you not only want to clean, but also want to care you’ll need 1 to 3 caring products (body lotion, face cream, conditioner). But capitalism means you can get 1 to infinity products, it’s good you’re questioning what you do and don’t need.

SEPA Direct Transfer (which is just not comparable to the payment protection the others give)

The payment protection (which is a valid concern) is payed with the fees they collect from the vendor. It’s not fair you can’t choose to get a discount and use this for some sort of insurance of your own choosing - but choosing for a sepa transfer does mean the vendor ends up with more of your money. No judgement though, i might have made the same choices.
