So when the US “neutralized a Venezuelan tanker”, that wasn’t an escalation, but now when Maduro takes measures to prevent this happening again, now it’s a “significant escalation”??

Software as a disservice.

Your computer won’t even be a computer, just a display with an Internet connection to a data centre.

Boggles the mind that people still call this a democracy.

Have they even presented any evidence whatsoever that there were drugs on these boats?

The media keeps saying “suspected drug boats”, which makes it sound like they actually kind of care who they’re murdering, but I’m not convinced that’s the case. Maybe “imagined drug boats” would be more apt.

The attack began with an airburst munition exploding above the vessel and killing nine crew members. The two men who survived were then visible floating in the water.

So, there were eleven people on this small boat. Why the fuck would you have 11 people on a smuggling boat? No, this is just a random terrorist attack, perpetrated by the notorious terrorist organization know as “the US military”.

I wouldn’t even recommend using LLMs in place of search engines, since they make stuff up. If it’s providing sources, you can check those, but you have to be rigorous enough to check every detail, which just isn’t realistic. People are lazy.

The best way I’ve heard them described is “bullshit machines”, and I don’t say that because I think they’re stupid, but because they “bullshit” as opposed to lying or telling the truth. When you’re bullshitting, the truth is irrelevant, as long as it sounds good. That’s exactly how LLMs work.

So if there’s a problem that can be solved by bullshitting, that’s where an LLM might be the right tool for the job.

Last time I tried to use AI at work, it decided lobster was vegan.

Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.

This is just…so weak. I really would have appreciated a “fuck you” and a vague threat of violence, but alas.

It’s beyond fucked up. The “state of israel” is a terrorist organization that must be destroyed, and everyone involved tried for their crimes.

“Managing” is being a bit generous.

Well what a pleasant surprise.

I love how antifa is their favorite boogeyman. Just quietly admitting to being fascists all along.

Given that the US has like a zillion missiles pointed at China, “threatening defence supply chains” sounds like a very good move, and I don’t know why it took this long.

Well if they want to devalue the US dollar…that’ll do it.

That’s insane. I’m fortunate my company can just stop shipping to the US, and it wouldn’t be a significant loss. It definitely sucks for anyone who just has to deal with it.

The last box I shipped to the US (from Canada) got snagged at customs for a while, they said it was missing some paperwork, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t. I was wondering if this would become a pattern…I guess so.

Yeah good point. Plus if it’s a website you can use it in private mode and not have evidence that you were helping people evade the gestapo all over your phone.

Oh man, this would be hilarious if it didn’t make me feel like I was having a stroke.

I kinda wish I had a gamepass subscription so I could enjoy cancelling it, but alas, I’ve already cancelled everything.

How do they think the sun works?
