What's that?

This is mandated by UK law. If you created a node so that UK users can bypass this, you would be doing something illegal. You'd probably get defederated.

Ein "Durchgreifen" ist nicht zu erkennen. Übrigens, wer immer noch meint, dass KI zu nichts gut ist: Solchen Journalismus kann die auch.

A GPU?

Hmm. There's only 1 thing I know about top gear. That presenter guy, the old one, what's his name? His father-in-law was awarded a Victoria's Cross for actions during the Battle of Arnhem; the famous a bridge too far. 7 VCs were awarded in that battle, but he was the only one who made it out alive.

I wonder if that ever became awkward. Like guy comes home and says:

• I did this super dangerous stunt for TV today!

• Oh, you did something dangerous, son? Do tell.

smh

That guy should be happy that no AI will ever be trained on their work. It's ok to contribute to progress, but only if it's progress the cool kids approve of. Know your place, nerds.

The most striking image yet to emerge from the fall of Srebrenica comes in a BBC film to be screened next week. It shows the indicted Serb war criminal General Radko Mladic presenting the commander of the UN peacekeeping force at Srebrenica, Colonel Ton Karremans of Holland, with gifts wrapped in Christmas paper. Mladic was evidently in a expansive mood and he had good reason to be: at that very moment his troops were preparing to massacre the 4,000 men and boys who the UN had handed over to him.

I never understood why Starbucks became big in the US, but I always assumed it was something like that.

I didn't need that mental image. But since you have installed it in my head, I am honor-bound to upvote.

sigh

Now that you mention it, I wonder what that says about the shift of sexual morals. The original French tale was written in 1740.

Ach so. Darüber hab ich mir auch schon Sorgen gemacht. Es könnte noch ein ziemliches Problem werden, dass Europa bei KI nicht mitmacht. Wenn diese typisch deutschen Mittelständler, die in irgendeiner Nische Weltspitze sind, das auf einmal nicht mehr sind, dann können die dicht machen.

Naja. Muss nicht schlimm sein, wenn KI aus den USA oder China eingekauft wird, so wie jetzt andere Software. Wir werden sehen wie's geht.

You're ignorant of history and that's a problem.

There were fewer than 500,000 jewish Germans in 1933. That's less than 1% of the population.

The millions who were murdered were mainly citizens of Poland and the Soviet Union. If the nations of Western Europe had prepared themselves better for war and fought with more tenacity, millions would have lived.

The absolute disaster that the Wehrmacht inflicted on the Soviet Union is largely the result of Stalin's defects. Dictators are bad; an obvious lesson. A less obvious lesson comes from the Generalplan Ost. The Nazis wanted to murder much of the population east of Germany; Poles, Czecks, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians, and others. Many tens of millions of individual human beings were to be killed, mainly through hunger. Then the territory was to be settled by Germans, That's the whole Lebensraum thing.

Where should all these people have gone?

That's why the Ukrainians today don't have a choice. Putin wants to eradicate the ukrainian ethnicity. We know that. We don't know how many people he is willing to murder; to physically eradicate. Would you take the chance?

In 1939, immediately before WW2 and the holocaust, the MS St. Louis sailed with 900 jewish refugees from Nazi Germany to Cuba. But Cuba refused to take them in, as it had just hardened its laws. The ship sailed to Canada and the USA, but they, too, refused. Something, something, race.

Eventually, the UK, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands took pity on these people and gave them shelter. Obviously, many of those on the continent were murdered in the Holocaust.

Where do you think 65 million US Latinos will go? They live in the US and they will die in the US. One way or the other.
