India's IndiGo places record order for 500 A320 Family aircraft (2023) 3 years ago
I must admit that as someone who lives 3 hours from Airbus Hamburg where the A320s are made that my point was "IndiGo ain't idiots, and didn't buy Boeings".

The biggest single purchase in the history of commercial aviation but it didn't get any attention when it happened back in 2023.
The R&D is the same but Airbus has superior QA and manufacturing.
The article contains specific details about the removal of facts from specific Wikipedia articles and/or the removal of the articles altogether.
How is that "zero information"?
Google is increasingly treating Android as an iOS alternative for the developing world and outsourcing core Android development to its Indian offices.
The reason they are doing this is probably because the non-tech management MBAs running Google are all using iPhones.
This doesn't take into account the cost of smuggling the drones from Iran to Yemen. There is a reason cocaine is an order of magnitude cheaper in Colombia than in Miami.
Russia has launched more cruise missiles in a single conflict (~7500)
What is the source for that number? The only long-range weapons Russia has launched thousands of are the Iranian-made long-range suicide drones.

Why is it not possible to fine-tune the models to not verbatim reproduce copyrighted material even if they are aware of the knowledge contained in the copyrighted material?
Most Airbus manufacturing happens in or near big cities like Toulouse, Hamburg, and Seville. These cities have plenty of engineering talent and plenty of colleges, universities, and other companies creating and nurturing this talent.
Meanwhile most Boeing manufacturing seems to be taking place in rural areas (or "flyover states" as you Americans put it). This is of course because of the local and state subsidies that Boeing is getting to create jobs. The question is if the lack of engineering talent in these rural areas is beginning to show its face.
Even in my tiny country (Denmark) there is significant decrease in quality of engineering talent outside the tier 1 cities.
