This is precisely why LLMs and AI are 99% a scam.

AI is the minimum value of a well structured dataset obtained by a destructive, hallucinatory compressor that is MAXIMALLY inefficient with inefficiency increasing nonlinearly as a model gets bigger... while it does demonstrate power, this observation that a well structured, QC'd, properly curated dataset reveals a latent intelligence in good data clearly points to functional programming, relational programming and the profession of the librarian and archivist as the directions where the genesis point of intelligence can be pursued, not these bullshitting AI's which demonstrate a degraded truth in a stupendously hamfisted, wasteful way that sends amateurs looking hopelessly looking in the wrong direction.

In otherwords, the algorithm and model are worthless, costly junk, it is the well structured, large high quality dataset and the humans that maintain and contextualize it that are precious.

Scientists could have told computer people this was true a long time ago if they had listened.

Foolish way to think, I understand the rage but collapse grows like an out of control wildfire and your attitude is jet fuel poured into it.

Fuck Texas though, I agree.

As I always say, Texas is a deathcult desperately trying to convince everyone it is just another shithole.

The reality is that if science had embraced open access publishing, especially for publicly funded research as a principle and baseline expectation than science would have weathered this far better.

Allowing scientific publishing to become a cartel model is what created this vast existential vulnerability of trust in science and made this collapse far more sudden, complete and final than it would have been otherwise.

It is way way wayyyyy too late for mitigation measures like that to be effective, Texas squandered that possibility while laughing at groundwater experts.

Not a lesson Texas will ever learn until the place is a barren wasteleand.

Look I just don't think it is right that the Leopard is eating faces out of order and isn't starting with all the poor people first, I am not supposed to be in the first group!

Wow it didn't cook off, I guess the russians must have been smart enough not to put any ammunition in it!

Why do people seem to especially like fish?

Hey nobody is talking about online gambling so mission accomplished!

This is the power of demonstrating your military strength rather than being obsessed with undue secrecy about it, you can affect the flow of events without actually using your military strength.

Ukraine should be proud in this moment, this is one of the most indisputable indicators of Ukraine's strength yet produced in this war, it is what historians will use to explain how the Ukraine war evolved into russia collapsing in power to the point that they could not goad their vassal state into war because they were too afraid to fight.

A fatal ideology of learned helplessness, become too xenophobic for anyone to take care of you.

Vice President

If by that you mean black powder firearms, then yes.

I think the best strategy is to make it look like Ukraine might blow it up or not right up until the last moment so that russians have the most time to argue over what they think Ukraine will do and what the best evacuation strategy is, giving the greatest chance for pandemonium, clashes and division among the ranks in the russian military. If you leave multiple possible exits and make it not clear which is the best option, that is paradoxically worse for russia than leaving only one shitty option.

Flood russian media with conflicting narratives about which bridges have been blown up and which haven't at the crucial moment with fake AI videos of bridges being blown that haven't been blown making as many military personnel as possible in Crimea as confused as possible.

In a situation like this the collapse of russian military morale would threaten to crumple into mass surrender and panic.

Remember in Reaper you can change the theme and menus around all you want, so you can make it look and behave however you want if certain things annoy you.

FL Studio is great, it isn't fair to compare other audio software to Reaper lol.

Sytrus is an amazing design for a synthesizer and Harmor is fascinating too.

It is insulting to people who care about Climate Change, it shows they think it is our pet issue that we love to talk about until everyone else is tired of it and doesn't want to hear about it, "Ok even if they are right to some extent Climate Change isn't EVERYTHING these people are obsessed" they think to themselves smugly... and yet... it is everything.

Oh definitely, my point is that this is generally what US analysts thought would happen even before the advent of drones, as soon as serious truck launched missiles entered the equation the geography of Iran in proximity to the Strait Of Hormuz locked in that logic.
