I'm a graphic designer from the US and I have some t-shirt/general merch concepts to pitch in a European market. What's the best way to do this? Does it help if I already have an LLC set up in the US? One example would be a t-shirt that would be sold in an airport shop - I assume the best way to do it would be to have the shirts made in Europe or even the country where they'll be sold, and then have some sort of wholesale arrangement with a merchant/distributor. Is it too much of a pain in the ass?

yeah you can forget "general." we haven't even achieved the AI that the 1960s AI researchers thought we would have "within a decade or so." i agree that fusion is a pretty good analog for that.
but fusion is not a perfect analog. fusion can reach net energy gain in the right context, even if it means "on the moon" or something obnoxious like that, i'd concede that point although i don't expect it for 50+ years because colleges are too woke now and scientists come out retarded.
but, man cannot recreate his own intelligence, and his own intelligence is what is general. this feat isn't possible even in theory -- that's the difference. if you read the actual claims, such as the "sparks of AGI" tweets and so on, what they're doing (at openai and elsewhere) is pretending there will ever be such a thing as an artificial "unartificial" intelligence, and then just using a different word to hoodwink the world, since that's too obviously retarded. just like the idea that "we will make people from chips" is absolutely pants-on-head retarded.
software lives within formal systems and cannot escape it, and formal systems are all subject to incompleteness. human intelligence is "whole" in a way that the object of man's own rationality, logic and procedure and the other trappings of formal systems, can never be.
so.
this is a cash grab, and it will never stop. someone will always slap "general" on the latest discovery and say "we're almost there" because it commands an outsized pile of cash relative to what they've been getting when they were boring and unsexy.
the worst thing is they convince themselves. it becomes a faux religion.

they're an idiot trap. as inflation falls and the CPI figures hide the systemic increase in the monetary supply, the floating portion of the i-bond rate goes to zero, and you're only left with the fixed-rate portion.
you are forbidden from selling these on a secondary market. you have to hold them to maturity.
the current fixed-rate portion of the coupon is 0%.
so the government issues something that responds to inflation, controls the measure of inflation, and controls the inflation itself.
you will get fucked, lmao

GME doesn't need a single penny from a hedge fund to issue shares. they already have 300 million authorized. they don't appear to need to do a single capital raise. i don't think any investment bank would want to underwrite any new issuance for them right now. if they needed money for any reason, given their new structure (even though it is currently still losing money) they would be better off going to the credit markets for bonds. although their credit isn't flawless, it's good for what they're about to go engage in, and it would not cost them too high a rate. and best of all, none of you fuckin' retards would see it happen because you momentum trade stocks and crypto.
issuing new shares doesn't really hurt you, if you're holding a position now. yes, it's dilutive, but who cares? you already overpaid above $10/share. they still lose money right now.
then, there's the problem that right in the most recent 8K, that they cannot issue new shares while subject to adverse market events, like having trading in their stock halted. you guys all read that though, right?
