Ben gvir just can’t stand not saying the quiet part out loud. It’s like he’s some weird double agent for the ICJ planted to leak all there war crimes to the public.

Trump hasn’t sent troops to sf yet you stupid fuck.

Due process would be great if there was a functioning court and prison system, but Israel bombed all that

Maybe, but those specific targets were more often than not killed. So yeah, people who survived may say the russians were worse because you can’t ask a dead jew who they thought were worse. The Germans killed 36x as many people during the occupation. Yeah the soviets taking your shit and trying to suppress your culture and autonomy sucks but that’s better than the Germans doing the same while sending a good chunk of the population to death camps

Again, I think that perspective is more shaded by the more recent soviet occupation after the war. If the nazis won and implemented their full lebensraum plans for Poland, nobody would be saying the russians were worse.

Poles hating russians makes sense historically, but historically Germans, both Prussian and Austrian , have been just as bad, if not worse with the nazis, so why don’t they hate them too?

I think the “russophobia” today has more to do with current events than history. If Germany did anschluss 2 and invaded Austria, I think Poland would be just as scared of them.

Probably will get it anyway, companies don’t like to build and maintain software for two different markets so they tend to just follow the regulations of the strictest market, especially if those regulations don’t really cut into there bottom line like this one.

This, people love to think Rome fell because of moral degeneracy and corruption, but that was probably at its height under Commodus or Nero when the empire was very stable and secure. The later emperors were relatively modest and to an increasing degree impotent, so it mattered less if they were incompetent, though many of them were, and that didn’t help.

The reality is empires all eventually fall, they lose the military edge that won them the empire, either by degrading or the “barbarians” learning and catching up, and the forces that were kept in check by the military tear the empire apart.

The actual survey result:

Asked whether “scaling up” current AI approaches could lead to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), or a general purpose AI that matches or surpasses human cognition, an overwhelming 76 percent of respondents said it was “unlikely” or “very unlikely” to succeed.

So they’re not saying the entire industry is a dead end, or even that the newest phase is. They’re just saying they don’t think this current technology will make AGI when scaled. I think most people agree, including the investors pouring billions into this. They arent betting this will turn to agi, they’re betting that they have some application for the current ai. Are some of those applications dead ends, most definitely, are some of them revolutionary, maybe

Thus would be like asking a researcher in the 90s that if they scaled up the bandwidth and computing power of the average internet user would we see a vastly connected media sharing network, they’d probably say no. It took more than a decade of software, cultural and societal development to discover the applications for the internet.
