This derives from a fundamental misunderstanding of why people play games.

The US just does not have the power to take on its allies and the rest of the world in open aggression. Any thought that it does is illusory, look at relatively small countries like Vietnam and Afghanistan where it just had to leave or the terrible mess of the Middle East. It can not colonise in the way it was possible to do 200 years ago, the power asymmetry is just not there. Added into that many of the targeted countries are nuclear powers and part of numerous combined defense treaties. Any real action he takes will be visited back on him in equal or larger measure. At some level the US if not Trump must instinctively understand this, it is the past rational for proxy over direct wars.

And there is zero resistance from the entirety of the rest of the US, there is no one there able to see how these are acts of self destruction on a very large scale and the reputational damage is becoming irreversible.

Just at a time when the illusion of US protection is waning, Western countries have been sleeping but will have to wake up.

It is not just Trump, there is very little coming from the US that is not complete acceptance of his actions. For a long time the rest of the world called the USA the great satan and I think Western powers are beginning to see it.

I think propaganda will redirect this to notions of the rest of the world being nazi or communist and against the US and these (retaliatory) actions are proof of it. If a significant part of the working population can believe Trump’s aim is to better their lives, and masks turn them Muslim and vaccines implant microchips then they can swallow the world being against them no problem. It will still do their lives unnecessary harm though, no matter what they take the cause to be. Perhaps terrible harm but frankly at this stage I do think they probably have it coming.

Everything is catfishing, when you put your best foot forward or wear your best shirt or be funnier or cooler than you actually are. Same as couples used to court but courting is grooming, it is the modern world’s desire to terrorise everyone into passivity by demonising the simple everyday activities of life.

The facade of societal benefit with the hidden and actual motivation of profit, such is the whole world.

That sounds like far too useful a tool against bias to be actually used.

The last half hour of Close Encounters made mundane by reality.

It will look like a man playing with a dog, and we are not the man.

It was a quote from Norm Macdonald, comedy - look it up if German search engines lower themselves with such humourous returns. The Germans are what they are, today they fought against appeasement and led a European announcement of greatly increased defense spending to support Ukraine and the world more widely, a difficult and noble decision. Filling the gap left as the US falls ever further into shame.

At a time when reading books is dwindling we who have as our ultimate sole purpose the distribution of books have decided to make it more difficult to have access to books in the hope we might make a little more money through our self destruction.

I am not sure if you are a student of history but twice before the Germans decided to go to war and have as their foe the world.

I am not sure 1.5m Germans all deciding on a single course of action is something to be happy about.

That is exactly the point, LLM aim to simulate the chaotic best guess flow of the human mind, to be conscious and at least present the appearance of thinking and from that to access and process facts but not be a repository of facts in themselves. The accusation here that the model constructed a fact and then built on it is missing the point, this is exactly the way organic minds work. Human memory is constantly reworked and altered based on fresh information and simple musings and the new memory taken as factual even while it is in large part fabricated, and to an increasing extent over time. Many of our memories of past events bear only cursory fidelity to the actual details of the events themselves to the point that they could be defined as imagined. We still take these imagined memories as real and act upon them exactly as has been done here by the AI model.

Yes but nowhere near enough to warrant the loss.

Would you take the death of journalism in lieu.

When did we develop this writing style of repeating the same line over and over.
