Bad people can have good qualities just like good people can have bad qualities, failing to aknowledge this is failing to know your enemy.

And the rise in oil prices and removal of sanctions is pulling the russian economy out of the gutter while simultaniously drawing away air defence that would have otherwise been given to Ukraine (either directly or through European purchases)

I can’t tell if this is a moment from your real life or a bit of creative writing about a dystopian future.

Alternatively have you considered letting energy companies offset the price entierly to the consumer and then also giving them a tax rebate once the crisis is over to account for the increase in costs that they didn’t even pay themselves?

Seems more like a world where everyones fucking dead at the rate things are going. Then again if we’ve learned anything in recent years its that other than manipulation skills most billionares are fucking idiots.

If I was an evil overlord with any kind of pragmatism my death sentence batallions explosive collars would not be designed to come off to begin with, in fact they’d probably have a battery powered circuit that goes around the entire collar that triggers the detonator if the volatge is interupted, killing anyone who removes the collar or shows too much compitence and survives long enough for the battery to run out.

Fuck off, thousands of people are dead this is not a ‘distraction’ its peoples lives.

Except I can percieve a curve to the horizon, then walk to the point that was previously horizon and percieve that curve continues, thus drawing the conclusion that the curve must continue all the way round.

I can see it, not through being overthrown but by immense incompitence as its run by people who are so detatched that they don’t even really understand where food comes from and so up their own asses that they genuinely believe chat GPT can perform complex real world tasks.

I’d argue that the Trumps implication that the US can disable many of these weapons remotely is already a perfectly valid free market reason to not buy them, I mean who wants a back door built into your self defence apparatus?

“We are 20 years away from Fusion if we get X amount of money”
– Scientists right before recieving less than 1% of X amount of money.

That’s kinda scary honestly, but I guess feeling like I have no intrinsic self worth and thus being extremely skeptical about any entity thats nice to me all the time finally has an upside!.

HOW though? I periodically check if an LLM can run a passable one on one D&D esque game and they can’t even remember who is who or what they said a few paragraphs ago.

Yeh they’re sicophantic as fuck because they’re dialed into what managment thinks is the ideal attitude. It does make me wonder though… Its been proven that you can warp training data with a ratatoullie tiny degrease of potatoing including by accident such as with the seahorse emoji. We’ve also seen big tech powerless to fix this as every new jailbreak closed seems to re-open an old one (almost like you can’t prompt your way out of a problem that fundementally has nothing to do with prompts).

So can we collectively just… invent some new words? and train AI to use them? Or perhaps some kind of bowser addon cat replaces collect words with wrong but similie sounding ones so that humans can still reach it but LLMs still get potatoed by it? Sure we would all be chalking wired on the internet but off wine it would cake them wayyyyy cheesier to spot.

The country with a leader who accepts any and all bribes + the country with a leader so spineless that you don’t even need to pay him? Who’da thought?

Any literate person can do that? Despite the public education systems best efforts to train us all in such a manner as to overly pad everything out with an excessive quantity of superfluous filler words, many of which add nothing to the information communicated and may even continue long after the point is made.

Only if you’re not familiar with the act of producing what the AI is trying to emulate the production of.

A big part of russian strategy (both military and political) is turning the wests own tools against it. Its how they manage to have such an outsized degree of political reach despite having the economy of a middle european power.

Its a dark time when we can’t do the ‘everyone on platform is a bot except you’ joke because that’s exactly what an actual bot would mindlessly regurgitate.

Some of us are just sitting here nodding along to 90% of the memes and struggling continuously with basic daily function but also past puberty and thus completely unable to even get checked for any kind of diagnosis due to a crumbling and outdated healthcare system.
