    Which one is better DeepSeek or ChatGPT ?

    However generalizing "CHATGPT" is not correct. From the free version to the o3 model there is a big difference.

    Which one is better DeepSeek or ChatGPT ?

    o3 is another level compared to DeepSeek. Anyway, for a general idea I recommend: https://www.trackingai.org/home

    Maltese real estate is in a bubble (Change my mind)

    I've already started hearing about gaming betting companies getting laid off because of AI. And think that the main models need 4/5 months and hundreds of millions of dollars every time. Even a fine-tuning or incremental training can take a couple of months. Tick Tock.

    Need some structure assistance

    Generally, information is exchanged only by banks and financial institutions in general? For example, if a US LLC accepts crypto and they are managed with a private wallet (obviously declared in accounting for the LLC). This information is not exchanged? Also, how could it be? Thanks.

    Maltese real estate is in a bubble (Change my mind)

    Another piece added to the puzzle. The European Court of Justice on Tuesday said Malta needs to end its golden passport programme that allows wealthy foreigners to buy citizenship, as it infringes EU law...

    POLL Who will be the next Pope?

    This is true. Also already reflected in the polls. But let's remember: Benedict (Ratzinger) himself was elected by a majority of John Paul II cardinals (the two were objectively different). Yes, I'm climbing up the mirrors a bit just because I like to go against the trend. We'll see.

    POLL Who will be the next Pope?

    Following the new global trend imposed in action, in my opinion a Ratzinger-style pope will win (right/republican/super theological/extreme pro-family anti-woke). The trends indicate that the usual leftish should win (who follow Francis' line). But the pressure from the center of the empire...

    Best management location for US LLC

    Oh ok, I want to see who will have to explain at the first audit that the company is resident but not domiciled, violating all kinds of EU anti-abuse rules. The reasons can be multiple based on the business (better regulations for example)... but also the privacy issue, a US LLC with registered...

    Best management location for US LLC

    So at this point, assuming the owner is a non-dom Maltese resident, why not register the US LLC as opaque, request a tax number and pay 35% and then request a refund of 6/7? Or pay directly 5% if the US LLC is owned by a Maltese holding? It seems like a fairly logical choice. Where is the...

    Best management location for US LLC

    Thanks for the reply. Just for clarification, will this election definitely require issuing a tax number for the company and producing accounting in Malta?

    Best management location for US LLC

    Thanks for your contribution, very interesting indeed. As I understood, a US LLC was treated as opaque "automatically" by Malta, but apparently this is not the case. Anyway, it would be interesting to know if with this setup it is still possible to pay 5% for income generated in Malta (For...

    Best management location for US LLC

    Does anyone know exactly how to elect US LLC as opaque in Malta? What is the procedure exactly?
