Now why would anyone waste their time doing that with you? You’re too much of a lost cause. From reading your posts, everyone can see that you only accept and believe in ultra right wing conspiracies and lies.

Skull cap, star of Israel tattooed in a prominent place, signing Hava Nagila, saying “shalom” to everyone he meets? Joking aside, you’re right. Just look like a very wide and diverse mix of people of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean/European origin.

If someone is elderly and doesn’t have enough money to pay for heating, or homeless then they’re caught in a downward spiraling trap, so no, definitely not “free”. And they certainly wouldn’t want to hear your dumb, idiotic warmongering BS.

Another AN post from a geriatric fool demonstrating the Dunning-Kruger effect.

You would need to be very blind, dumb and ignorant to believe that ever happened. Since its formation in the 90s the SVR has operated the same as the KGB to undermine, weaken and subvert Western interests, especially American. The only thing that’s held Putin back from expanding his empire further west into Eastern Europe is NATO, hence the reason Putin supports his useful idiots like Trump with that goal. Good that Putin’s army has had the c**p fragged out of it in Ukraine. The Biden administration’s plan worked very effectively there. The plan was never to help Ukraine defeat Russia, just greatly weaken it to the point that the Russian army couldn’t threaten NATO countries for a very long time. The Cold War never ended because the Russians never stopped and they never will.

Did he start it? I thought the separatist movement and armed conflict started before he was PM. Like all of these tough guy, ultra nationalist, populist leaders, his approach didn’t improve things.

Why is AI so goddam awful? Because it’s just that, it’s AI not AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). AI uses LLM (Large Language Models), which has its limits and its flaws. AGI will be more advanced than human intelligence. It will be smarter than the smartest person alive or that has ever lived. And it’s coming.

It does sounds incredibly expensive. 1 gram would be an about teaspoonful at the most. $4 for the whole cake would be cheap. $1 a slice/scoop would be pricey but ok-ish.

Writing offensive control freak passive aggressive posts on AN is fine. Just another idiot that can be easily ignored, but my god I hope you were never allowed anywhere near children.

I think you’ll find that descent down the slippery slope started a long long time before DEI. The roots of that decline go back to at least the 1950’s and arguably way before that. Trade union relations, under investment, wrong investment, insufficient infrastructure investment outside of the south east, incompetence, mismanagement, under investment in education, wrong focus and constant change in education policies and priorities are largely, but not exclusively, the root causes of that descent down the slippery slope and has very very little to do with DEI. But hey, don’t let me spoil your ignorance.

Were you being deliberately ironic? Have Americans finally leaned about irony?

Some but not as much as you think and suggest. Check the wind direction and speed. The burning that happens in Thailand will have a greater effect, and is where the Thais should focus, ie, clean their own house before they start complaining about their neighbours.

I think it’s the Chinese who are feeling a bit sore today. DeepSeek just suffered a large scale cyberattack. It’s not just a ChatGPT lookalike, it actually is ChatGPT (a line for line copy), but doesn’t have the security of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The US markets have bounced back. Panic over.

Gemini is a very low bar for comparing AI models. ChatGPT is the leader. DeepSeek is actually a line for line copy of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. When DeepSeek was asked what AI model it is (frontier model) it said it was created by OpenAI based on the GPT-4 architecture. DeepSeek also just suffered a large-scale cyberattack raising questions about how much work the Chinese put into making it secure and limiting vulnerability to it being manipulated by malicious bad actors

In progressive true democracies where they have a credible legal system and the rule of law, that would be a very reasonable thing to believe, but in the USA, it most definitely ain’t.
