That sounds painful.

Well, I mean... It worked for ChatGPT, so...

And setting aside for a moment the question of what you'd even do with a system incapable of counting the number of b's in the word blueberry or figure out how a bicycle works, who's going to be subsidizing the energy and infrastructural costs? OpenAI's other customers? Their investors?

I presume this is a Ellison-style long-con aimed at insinuating themselves into the operations of the US government, but until the trap shuts on the US tax payers later, somebody else are going to have to pick up Uncle Sam's tab. Who?

That's very sensible of you.

Don't take this the wrong way - you look great - but... Hopefully I would be exercising and minding my own business.

'it is likely the type of vehicles used by the enemy may transition to Tesla Cyber trucks'

Please explain your reasoning in great detail and at length. Go on. We'll wait.

Wow, framing the debate much?

This being the Internet - and great minds thinking alike - it was bound to happen sooner or later :)

There's are some indirect advantages to Russia's organized crime mentality. Mired in nihilism and toxic masculinity, they only comprehend force and the application thereof, which frankly makes them less dangerous. Their insistence on making themselves into an undeniable existential threat and their constant unrelenting escalation has done nothing but galvanize the people of the EU against them. They would have been far greater threat if they could comprehend subtlety and had continued their far more successful campaign of political and societal subversion.

But, as the modern maxim goes, "Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself".

I salute Russia's uncharacteristic civic-mindedness and dedication to, ultimately, unfucking their own shit by ceasing to exist.

Uh, not trying to be insulting here, but... Isn't this just what Chavs morphed into after Burberry fell out of favour?

You had me at "financially ruin AI industry".

You know what really grinds my gears? This shitty dystopia completely eschews any potentially cool aspect of invasive exploitative authoritarianism. The (not so) secret police is patching together their own "uniforms" by browsing the bargain bins at the local tacti-cool mall-ninja outfitters. Where's the black leather trench coats, stylish sunglasses worn after dark and slicked back hair? If they're going to ask me for 'ze papers' all the time, the least they can do is look cool doing it, godamnit. At least get Hugo Boss to design your attire; that's just about the only thing that worked out well for the last bunch of pricks.

I mean, where's the towering brutalist architecture? Where's my mandatory daily dose of SOMA? Or my idiotically wirelessly hackable cyberware? Hell, they can't even do bread and circuses right anymore. The bread is CO2-pumped flour glue and the circuses is an endless stream of more Marvel projects and Disney violations of Star Wars.

And don't get me started on the quality of our dictators these days. They sure don't make them like they used to.
