At the same time, Lithuanian @CG_Trader accuses 3D designers from #Russia and #Belarus for supporting war crimes with taxes.
Doubtful that even if we paid taxes (but we don't and even can't due sanctions), this is comparable to how much #EU pays #Putin!
AI Predictions Comes True
Last week, I had a fascinating conversation with a Russian trader from Khabarovsk, and we delved into the concerns of economists regarding the upcoming meeting of the Central #Bank of #Russia, which took place on September 15th. This meeting carries even more weight as it occurs in the second year since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian #war. The big question on everyone's minds was whether there would be an interest rate hike, and if so, by how much?
To add a twist to the tale, I decided to turn to the power of #ArtificialIntelligence. You can find this historic dialogue we had on the link here. It's in Russian, but I have faith in you, my fellow kittens!
During our conversation with AI, we asked it to provide probability estimates for an interest rate hike ranging from 0% to 3%, in half-point increments.
We focused on recent factors like the weakening of the ruble, the lifting of currency purchase restrictions, and the frozen funds in India. Here's what the AI forecasted:
- 0.5% increase: around 25% probability
- 1% increase: around 35% probability
- 1.5% increase: around 20% probability
- 2% increase: around 10% probability
- 2.5% increase: around 5% probability
- 3% increase: around 5% probability
But fast-forward to today, September 15th, and do you guess what? The prediction turned out to be true!
The Central #Bank actually increased the key interest rate from 12% to 13%, exactly by 1%.
Now, of course, some economists might dismiss this as mere coincidence. But hey, it's still more reliable than reading tea leaves!
Who knows, maybe the Central #Bank even consulted #AI in their decision-making process. #Russia can be quite a peculiar place these days, and anything is possible. In fact, last year, some leading propaganda media even published various forecasts about the ##war and interviewed #ChatGPT.
So, my fellow kittens, why not embrace the future and start using AI today? Who knows what exciting discoveries lie ahead!
The Minister of #Economic Development Maxim #Reshetnikov lamented the strangely low unemployment in #Russia as foreshadowing future economic trouble. To translate his bureaucratic message simply, companies across many industries are facing staffing shortages. The problem even before the war, but previously imports could fill the gaps. However, workers are still lacking, and new hires won't come. There are several reasons for this.
First, many skilled professionals just left due to unrest—why bother with all the challenges. Others hesitate to build careers at large firms due to the military draft risk hanging over employers and employees alike. If requested, employers must hand employees over to recruiters or face fines. As a result, many talented people now work freelance or off-the-grid.
While #Putin talks of exemptions for IT workers as if other roles aren't crucial, no one wants to bet their future or prove exceptional worth for an out. Words from the state now mean little after two decades of empty patriotic claims. As long as the nation remains embroiled in a senseless #war, prioritizing military policy over economic and social well-being, conditions will not improve—they'll likely deteriorate further.
We must address this reality directly, rather than wrapping discussions of "anomalously low unemployment" in unnecessary technical jargon that fails to diagnose true root causes. The path forward demands honesty and compassion over obstruction and obfuscation.
The books of strange time…
#Subscription and rental models have been aggressively promoted as necessary for #businesses to make a profit. But recent events have shown us the negative consequences of turning big tech into mere weapons, affecting unwanted groups and even entire countries.
The #COVID-19 #pandemic and the #war in #Ukraine have revealed how governments can use these technologies as tools to control and manipulate populations. Anything can be shut down for anyone - their car, bank account, software, and even their motorcycle safety vest.
So, to the advocates of #copyright and property rights, is this really what you're willing to accept? Are you willing to deprive consumers of their #property rights in exchange for corporate control? It's time to rethink the balance between corporate interests and consumer #rights.
