These people keep saying “it’s the future” but it just seems like they’re chasing pink elephants and forcing us to partake in the delusion.

Russia’s already had this plan in the works for years. They call it “Sovereign internet”.

Fuck that shit. Switch to Linux.

They very much did not let Germany have Poland. That is generally considered to be the first day of the first second world war.

They let Germany have Czechoslovakia, and Chamberlain only really did that because he knew that if he didn’t, Britain wouldn’t have time to prepare.

Ukraine is standing because of NATO support. If NATO support is stretched or moved elsewhere (like an actual NATO territory), then Russia could just go “fuck it”, leave a token force down there and go for the Baltics.

Nah I’m betting NATO does jack all and continues to be subservient to the USA.

I don’t think that will be the case. Consider:

Trump has demanded another NATO territory (Canada) or perhaps if he doesn’t think he could get away with that he could start to demand Iceland. With Trump, it looks like it will be the case of “give a mouse a cookie”.

And rNATO has made it clear that they do not want America taking Greenland, it’s one of the things they are actually standing up to America on. So the question remains: Appeasement to buy time (The Chamberlain Strategy) or send in the Troops to fight the yanks.

Going to reiterate this: The US taking Greenland is how WW3 starts.

Either NATO bites it’s tongue and does a Chamberlain to try prepare for Trump invading Canada/Iceland or they trigger A5 and we’re at war. Russia will take advantage of this and Europe gets spit roasted.

Good luck, everyone.

When all of this is over, if this ever ends, I want psychologists to study this AI obsession CEOs have now. I want to see how they can look at AI and insist that everyone be forced to use something that hinders them rather than help.

So let me get this straight. Microsoft is taking your local files, without their consent, onto their platform where they can delete them for “terms of use” violations, alongside tracking what you do on your own computer.

Sounds like they don’t want you to use your computer in a way they don’t want you to.

There’s too many articles appearing in papers here in the UK praising the social media ban in Australia but absolutely none giving any opposing view. It’s genuinely concerning. The establishment here seems hell bent on copying Australia ignoring the absolute disaster that was the online safety act or that teenagers can and will find ways to circumvent this or the fact that teenagers use social media to socialise because guess what, we’ve made it even harder for them to socialise IRL.

Japan had legal Child Porn until disconcertingly recently.

The thing is though… is it actually CSM according to the law if there is no real child involved along the way?

Legally, yes. The law in the UK also includes images of children that are drawn or computer generated.

I mean Grok is literally being used to make CSAM so it should not only be taken down but the law should get involved in any reasonable country.

It’s because they fear what Musk might do.

Twitter should be banned for making CSAM.

I mean Donald Trump is working for Vladimir Putin come on

I don’t think NATO is going to end, I think what’s going to happen is NATO is going to turn on America if Greenland gets annexed. That is how I think World War III is going to start.

I remember a story my Dad told me. His boss comes in and goes “we need a computer” (this was the 80s). He asked “why”. He couldn’t answer.

AI now is like that, except when someone asks “why”, they get fired and the boss slams it in anyway. It doesn’t make the product better or even more attractive. Dell has admitted that and is the only company to admit that. At best it’s a shite search engine that’s being forced on everyone against their will.

AI chat bots should be OPTIONAL, not forced onto people against their will. At best it’s a shitty search engine, at worse it is a slop machine.

Only practical solution I can think of for an AI chatbot is an optional voice mode where you can go to, say, a ticket machine and be all “hey, cheapest fare to Dundee” or something and it gives you it, but that can be done without fucking the environment and eating all the ram by just having better UI design.

Exactly the first thought I had.
