>I wanna see laws targeting addictive design systems and harmful content.

then you're going to see president Hegseth using those laws to ban video games and pornography.

plant protein is vastly inferior to animal protein. they don't feed livestock fishmeal for the hell of it.

>We know Russia was behind a whole lot of the pro-infection movement.

yes, yes, there was no vaccine skepticism in the West before COVID.

insisting, against an overwhelming amount of irrefutable evidence to the contrary, that states like Australia and France are benevolent toward their citizens, does indeed make one a bootlicker.

was persecuting COVID dissidents "russian spam suppression"? are government-mandated backdoors "search warrants"?

the services that comply with speech suppression and privacy violation orders will be deemed acceptable, and those who don't won't.

things I like are good. things I don't like are bad.

bro, parroting "AI bad" on any social media full of the terminally online folx gets you free updoots.

what the fuck compelled you to censor "Brainfuck"?

>free speech types

heh.

>Ukraine's resources

one of the most absurd things about this war is that Russia doesn't need any Ukrainian resources.

>technical capabilities

the only technical capability that Ukraine has and Russia hasn't is America's multi-trillion dollar intelligence apparatus' support.

>a fresh group of young people to conscript

an overwhelming majority of them would flee, and Europe would eagerly welcome them.

>An army without drone experience could get ripped to shreds facing either one.

there would be no trench warfare in a NATO-Russia war. we already saw what happens when Soviet/Russian tech meets F35 and B2 - Israel and US bombed the shit out of Iran with impunity, suffering no losses whatsoever.

AI "news" you see here are mostly current thing grift. not nearly enough innovation is happening to satisfy the 24x7 news cycle, so all we see is "CURRENT THING BAD", regurgitated ad nauseam.

you have to consider how little value an average American software 'engineer' had to produce to remain employed during the era of ZIRP and COVID overhiring. two competent people doing actual work 8 hours a day could replace ten of those even before the 20% productivity boost from LLMs.

okay, and?

what do you picture happening if Western AI companies cease to operate tomorrow and fire all their researchers and engineers?

>Congress and the President can easily be pressured to vote in laws that the public wants

this president? :)))

>We know this is illegal

>It's a CRYSTAL CLEAR violation of the law

in the court of reddit's public opinion, perhaps.

there is, as far as I can tell, no definite ruling about whether training is a copyright violation.

and even if there was, US law is not global law. China, notably, doesn't give a flying fuck. kill American AI companies and you will hand the market over to China. that is why "everyone just shrugs it off".

>It's an old argument of tech capitalists that nothing can be done because technology's advance is like a physical law of nature.

it is.

>The nuclear arms race and proliferation were largely stopped.

1. the incumbents kept their nukes, kept improving them, kept expanding their arsenals.

2. multiple other states have developed nukes after the treaty and suffered no consequences for it.

3. tens of states can develop nukes in a very short time.

if anything, nuclear is a prime example of failure to put a genie back in the bottle.

by eloquence I mean, well, being well-spoken. I only speak two languages, and I feel that my ability to express myself in my native Russian degrades severely after periods of time away from home - for example, I often forget words, or fail to come up with a well-put way to describe a complex thing. and even when I'm home, I'm still consuming >= 95% of information and entertainment in English, and only my interactions with friends and family are conducted in Russian, so the opportunities for me to improve my Russian are very limited. the last time I've read a book in Russian was over a decade ago.

ditto. I believe it is impossible to be proficient and eloquent in more than one language at a time.

it is delightfully damning that you people say such things out loud :)

>saying Kazakhstan is independent... that's rich. The moment Kazakh government thinks about denouncing russian as official language, putin will send a new government

at the time of the empire's collapse, Putin was essentially a nobody. Yeltsin and the oligarchs didn't really give a fuck about Kazakhstan, Ukraine, the Baltics, and the rest. they were truly and unconditionally independent, and Russia, given its humiliating defeat in Chechnya, couldn't do shit about it even if it wanted to (which it didn't).

what exactly am I propagandizing here?

also, Путин - хуйло, Крым - Украина. happy now?

depressing - certainly, disrespectful - perhaps, but dumb? if instead of Gorbachev there had been another Stalin (or the current version of Putin), the empire would have endured that period of turbulence intact, and you would still be part of it.

also, the provinces that didn't fight for independence - Kazakhstan, for example - had got it anyway, whether they wanted it or not at the time.

sure, they could, hypothetically, close the borders and begin a campaign of forced insemination, but those babies would have no fathers to provide for them, and the state - any state - really resents footing the bill for child rearing, going as far as forcing victims of infidelity, fraud, or rape to pay child support. the state - any state - wants to give you as little as possible and to take as much as possible from you, for the delta between giving and receiving is its lifeblood.

the ideal family has two full-time working parents, paying a mortgage and car loans, consuming as many high-margin domestic products as possible, rearing as many children (future laborers and consumers) as possible, with little to no assistance from the state. and you simply can't have that by force. if you could, you might as well drop the pretense and openly treat your population as slaves.

lol, no. it will not even maintain its current extinction-tier TFR of 1.02, let alone maintain its current population.

like every other civilized people, the Chinese have largely realized that the game is rigged and the only winning move is not to play. the only way to "fix" the birth rate is to reject humanity (education, urbanization, technology) and retvrn to monke (subsistence farming, arranged marriages, illiteracy, superstition), which no civilized country will ever do. even the current TFR of 1.0-1.5 in the civilized world is largely inertial, and it will continue to fall. South Korean 0.7 will seem mind-bogglingly high a hundred years from now,

and 1CP was such a predictably disastrous idea that I seriously doubt the forward-thinking you seem to believe the CCP to posses.

yeah, well, it was all we had, hence llama.cpp, ollama, r/localllama, etc, all of which look increasingly silly now that it's highly unlikely we'll ever have another Llama.

it's great for everything that doesn't need writing data to disk (although some limited persistence can be had by storing data in the URL). the bummer is that even Firefox doesn't allow saving/opening .html files on mobile.

if Llama counts, then it tasted great (while it lasted).

I could, but I would get flagged :^)

what was supposed to be the important part, "AI bad"? the author is not some clueless pedestrian, they are clearly online enough to be fully aware that all social media companies treat their users like cattle. so why the pikachu face when Instagram (of all things!) does something it is designed to do - squeezing every last bit of value from its digital serfs?
