People building AI are in a cult. They have lost all objectivity.

WTF are you talking about? How exactly would he go about finding a solution? Have you been paying any attention to how the White House “deals” pan out at all?

All factored in. Backups 3-2-1 etc etc. No chance of your cloud service provider suddenly deciding to lock you out of services etc. Not your computer not your data.

Riskier too if you care about privacy, sovereignty and self-determinism.

If you talk to Chinese they have the same complaints though.

My dad used to rant about how government should be run like a business, no, no dad,

The last thing you hear: Sorry but your citizen contract has been revoked in order to meet our 3rd quarter profit target. You have been terminated!

It’s not at all irrelevant. They are always bullshitting you. That is the only thing you can be sure of.

There is always a reason everything is published and it is never to “keep the public informed”. Just because you happen to agree with it doesn’t make it any more factual or less disinformation than the ones you don’t agree with.

Or maybe you have a media literacy problem.

I only believe western media when it suits my world view vibes

What happens is they do defer to the expert. The expert is a plant by which ever lobbiest chose to sponsor the bill. I’m had correspondences with my government about fields I am intimately familiar with and their arguments about technical feasibility were given to them by their Big4 “expert”. The problem is I know the field well enough to understand their expert is simply giving the opinion they were paid to give and the technical feasibility of the proposals take a back seat to the political desire of the people pushing the proposal.

Not only did he kill Hitler but he also invented highways. What’s not to like? /s

It’s pretty well documented that all insurance companies starting approving more claims almost immediately after this event.

It’s only ok when you put a few layers of indirection between your barbaric acts and the brutal consequences of your actions. Pedo Capitalists Unite!

Bowel movement. They’re going to shit all over people who can’t do basic research on the internet.

I guess you haven’t being paying attention to the movement starting there

I don’t understand why you are so argumentative? Where did you get the idea I expected them to roll over? This is the second time you’ve randomly thrown out a baseless accusation in this thread. Is it really necessary?

You have misinterpreted what I said. Iran has done a stellar job in defending itself and exposing the US. That said the US are far ahead economically than anyone else. They also have the global reserve currency meaning they can print their way out of any financial crisis and make the rest of the world hold the bag. They have vast resources. They secured Venezuela first as a backstop just in case. They blew up the Nord Stream 2 so Europe would have to buy more from them. They caused the Strait of Hormuz to close so Europe has to buy more from them. This is essentially a vassal tax on Europe. It also severely impacted China as China is Iran’s largest energy customer. They blow up countries on a whim meaning countries cannot consistently develop. Always back to square one. If they do this they don’t need to improve internally to maintain their hegemony they only need to keep others down. To be clear this is a short term strategy that is doomed to fail long term. China has out manoeuvred them and it’s only a matter of time before the circumstances change and they lose one of their levers. Once that happens they are well and truly fucked (hence the on-shoring manufacturing panic). In the mean time expect them to become ever more brutal. The transition will be dark times for the planet on levels we haven’t seen since WW2. The one thing I know for sure is there is no limit to the depths of their depravity. Much of Europe’s capitulation to their hegemony isn’t helping either.

You should also be aware that the artificial Cueta migrant crisis, the manufactured Greenland crisis and the recent US military partnership deal with Indonesia are all designed to isolate China’s trade routes. They are planning to control all the world’s trade choke-points.

Yes they are in terms of wasting Iran’s resources on rebuilding existing infrastructure rather than progressing. Same in Europe tbf. They have European governments fighting amongst themselves due to artificially created crises such as energy and migrants. It seems to me you are underestimating them.

Have you seen the photos of Gaza? Bridges in Iran etc … Tehran was covered in a layer of oil rain when they blew up the refinery. That’s plenty of cancer and illness for future generations.
