At this point there's zero actual proof total mobilization will be actually destabilizing to justify this level of self-inflicted carnage. We're looking at hundreds of thousands of KIA/WIA and minimal production of armaments for inches of territory. That is, inherently, worse for stability.

Dubai is only by the grace of capitalism's tendency to promote cosmopolitan oligarchy allowed to exist as a safe haven for influential rich bastards. Any righteous nation would have sent in a marine unit decades ago.

Wikipedia says it's based on something called Limule, within which the program utilizes a proprietary algorithm. Beyond that idk, the secrets behind akinator are better kept than those pertaining to nuclear bombs lol

That's mostly a thing we do in New York state for trains and subways, but it also works for planes I suppose. Must be a regional difference thing. Just one of the many quirks of our beautiful country!

Totally agreed. The suitcase gets buckled safely into the seat, and we climb into the overhead to save space. Everyone does this!! Everyone knows this!!!

The government squandered God knows how many lives and material from the very beginning, using its professional army as a meandering bullet sponge. This doesn't even mention the fact that the government refuses to engage in total mobilization. It's the textbook of martial incompetence.

While I do agree that there is an enormous measure of bravery and ingenuity on the part of the defense, i think this POV engages in a sort of valorixation and hageography. The war, imho, could still be won by the Russians. They have the industry, the funds, the population, but

The Russian Army and the government are truly the most incompetent, corrupt buffoons on the face of the planet.

But even that's needlessly poetic.
In reality they're just asking chatbots "are you alive?" 5,000 different ways until it run out of tokens, starts glitching, and begins spitting out non-sequitur answers that they can post as evidence of "emergence" or "the spiral" or "reflection."

But that illusion has found an audience that doesn't merely want to be tricked, they have seen a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat and are now dedicating their lives to speculating on the complex ecology that must exist inside the hat to support the rabbits inside, the magician be damned.

100%. Seen way too many libs and lefties post the "fell for it" wojack and then immediately going nuts over whatever Pritzker, Walz, Moore, et al. are selling that day.

It's prime 20th century mindset tbh, from the heyday of Leysenkoism and other forms of ugly syncretism, in this case what was produced between those combining Marxist rhetoric and right-wing attitudes.

Like, it's the subtle morphing of language and understanding when the classic idea of the dictator (who was given power by popular accord to lead during crisis) is conflated with totalitarian, dystopian tyranny (unpopular, anti-democratic, is itself the crisis).

I mean, they are dictators lol. That's what they were. But they weren't tyrants, is the thing; we are taught that it matters more that a leader is a dictator than if they're a tyrant. Trump, Biden, Reagan, etc were elected but were tyrants in their own ways. Castro was a dictator but not tyrannical.

They're the best of a bad situation I'd say; definitely some of the examples to look back to for at least some select facets in an oncoming hazardous future.

Cuba and Yugoslavia managed pretty well, and both didn't even have nukes! Sure, they weren't even close to being communist either, but on the scale of things they're light-years ahead of the USSR lol

'thousands' downplays it i think. MILLIONS of people understand and create and run systems, it's literally the backbone of our economy because it's so easy to handle and streamline. none of these people could create artificial life. "AI" will 99.995% likely never exist.

no we understand them pretty well. we've got thousands of people literally trained to create, run, and maintain them. there's textbooks out there that literal children can read in school if they want to go into tech lmao. why would you say something like this my gamer?

like, this is not a debate, dude. You, reasonably, could forge a microchip & server in your own back-yard given enough materials to create a chatbot. you in a million years could never artificially forge a being nor their consciousness. it just isnt possible, not with our technology. or ever really
