Resource drain of LLMs inescapably makes them tools availiable only to big players. They are ideal in the way they are naturally gated. Making them mandatory == giving these select companies and people power over everything. And not only oligarchs’ promotion, but the whole situation of them being given for free or cheap at a huge loss gives one an idea that there’s a lot to milk from it’s growing adoption.

There are a lot of things in play. Another optional goal is to tighten up the local russian backgarden. Just like it was before Crimea snatching, population was rather frustrated with the powerholders, some bigger protests brewed in capital cities, and although they were even smaller than back then pre-Crimea, I see it as a sub-motivation, and them freely killing Navalny just after that, rolling out laws groving in their restrictiveness - I think these were their goals all along.

I want to live long enough to see a well-sourced documentary about reasons behind such decision. We know what it ended up being, and that by now it flowered with reasoning models from profit, to counter-defence against the united west, to a revenge narrative of ‘we are already balls deep, can’t stop now’. But I feel that there’s a good place for a movie, that ends just there, on cold 24 Feb night, when the hell gates opened. And the centerpiece are the decision-making, the preparation and media campaigns to muddy the water, the arguments, the denial it’s gonna happen, the corruption and a race to cover it’s traces by the time every system gets to the test, the misinformation that led to guys smelling their own farts. Let it be the Ocean Eleven heist prep part, let it show just how it’s not evil-first - although it’s useful for a counter-narrative - but how cynical, mismanaged, inheretly degraded, plain disfunctional this machine was. To see not a brutal dictatorship, but a gang of protection-racket thugs who thought they could, like Igor of Kiyv (supposedly) to collect twice on same folks, that they thought it should’ve been easy and were fixated on local politics, international standing than on themselves and their own ridiculousness, like Nicolas the 2nd starting the infamous ‘Little victorious war’ with Japan. Not to seed empathy, or wonder what it would be if this campaign wasn’t met with a worthy resistance, but to show the endgame of fascism. That it is the russian world that is to be exported elsewhere. That it is the object of pride to western contrarians, and to the US admin that is running fast to achieve the same. That speech, when the SMO was declared, and everyone nodded, could’ve been a fine ending that leaves the audience speechless and the whole theater unnervingly quiet.

I know my fellow countrymen are nearly unpenetrateable, but I feel like a bootleg of such a movie could’ve made a lot of crimethoughts.

I hope EU and US takes notes, because that’s what you get if you slash all education, pump up nationalistic bubble and live your population in such misery their men can as well sell themselves for $30000 and gamble on their survival, or do that on pure enthusiasm. The rightwing campaign to co-opt the problems of white youth would inescapably lead to something like that in a couple of turns and with enough pressure. Thus there would be another country joining the humanity’s war on extinction on the side of extinction.

undiscernible blurping from the likes of Vance

Zee: Thanks, I guess? So much for the global superpower.

We’ve seen Mad Max, but what about Reasonable Max, Supply-Side Max or even Opportunistic Max? Or, in this particular case, Grimes-please-call-me Max? That’s a whole different story.

What’s the current meta in that quest?

What makes them ugly?

After the ability to bring them up got taken away by the big capital.

European market

Russian AvtoVAZ would like a word. It’s factories need no upgrade to follow Cybertruck’s quality standards. There’s a whole new market, the greatest one at that, and I can assure you there is one true place where you can invest into the future industry of cope-caged EVs.

Wait for Truppet to declare taxes on EU cars or something.

That’s what this racoon could’ve being doing if it was him.

Around three days. No drugs, just showers and energy drinks I took sip by sip for a long time. I was somehow productive, but caught my attention stuck a couple of times on something banal like a working microwave buzz. Everything felt dull and I seemingly had no emotions near the end.

It feels basic but it gets the work done. As long as you don’t need a complex array of effects and graphics, it fits. Most of simple amateur video needs are easily covered.

It’d certainly encourage me to up my torrenting game so this shit appears 24\7 at rather weird uploads around the globe.

It’s not unlike medical supplements before they got pushed away from real drugs and had all the markings on them about being just supplements rather than panaceas…

ATTENTION: LLM is not a real worker. Consult a competent manager before firing everyone around you.

Snake oil won’t be a miscomparison on all points.

Is there a way to change the torrent client’s name\version so you appear in a list of seeds as Mark Zuckerberg?

That’s why Andrew-Bidlaw Inc. provides you with pregnancy tests having a separate window to show a hitler-test results and a pack of late abortion pills to drop him out in 1-2 days.

Musk’s and his actions are illegal, or were illegal mostly before the Supreme Court decided there’s some sleezy presidential immunity. The problem is they are so firm and quick at changing the rules of the game that no institution can catch up and, most importantly, generally afraid they would be directly attacked by these fuckers. Some commenters preciously said that it’s stupid that most of people who could’ve challenged or straight up dismissed his executive orders are pussies for resigning or being complicit, but, in their defence, all of their personal data was leaked by Muskrat and he and Trump have a pardoned terrorist cell to carbomb them or whatever. And it’s snowballing from department to department, and every new one looks at those who already kneed to the maggot.

All these famous checks and balances were DDOSed and frightened into submission. i don’t think they were exceptionally and inherently fragile. it’s just the rightwing strategists just got the right guy, the right coverage and the right plan to make it all as easy as break-and-enter with absent homeowners.

He isn’t, he is still polite to give Donnie a benefit of a doubt, like he is speaking like that because he’s got malinformed. No, Trump uses his position to exchange Ukraine and the security of Europe for whatever he was promised or he himself promised beforehand for his success in pres campaign previosly, so he just closes his debts. Zelensky couldn’t say that to Trump all other countries and his own nation are paper tokens he uses to play monopoly with his friends. Ukrainian defence depend too deeply on what Biden’s given them before so as a diplomat he doesn’t want to cross out the US even though he knows that with Trump they’d hardly get anything. And it’s not about the US specifically, it’s a standard that keeps every other donor comfortable to donate arms and money, setting the climate in which no random and immidiate decisions pass, unlike what Trump does.
