Also the stakes are quite high to become the greatest war criminal of all time.

I thought it was funny then suddenly remembered i’m over 50 :(

To put this into perspective, there were 207640 new cars registered in January, of which 1277 were Teslas. That’s a measly 0.62 percent of total new car registrations.

They are still asking the wrong questions and blissfully ignoring the elephant in the room. If you round up thousands of people there will be logistical problems:

a) you can only deport people to countries which are willing to take them.

b) you’ll have to detain them until they can be deported

Which means concentration camps. Ask Americans if they support concentration camps in their country. Because that is what is going to happen.

You wouldn’t even have to reach as far as malware. All software has bugs. To think that AI will produce perfect bugfree code because “it’s a computer” is laughable. So inevitably there will be a need to debug the code, across servers, filesystems, databases, APIs, you name it. In tens if not hundreds of thousands of lines of code, which might even be compiled. Surprise, an LLM can’t do that.

As a developer I always enjoy asking these clowns why anybody should buy their products when AI will soon allow consumers to build these apps themselves, which is just a logical progression if you don’t need coders to create software.

I know of course that this isn’t going to happen anytime soon. It’s wishful thinking from their part and it shows a complete lack of understanding both what LLMs can and cannot do and what it takes to design and implement anything bigger than a batch script.

Edit: I also can’t help but feel personally offended whenever some corporate drone gloats about replacing developers. It didn’t happen with low-code, it didn’t happen with no-code and it won’t happen with AI. But it hurts every time.

I’d like to add that trade volume is only a slightly better indicator, because wash trading is very easy in crypto. Wash trading happens when the coin’s owner and/or an accomplice buy and sell coins back and forth among themselves. It’s easy to do if you have control over a huge amount of coins, because you printed them yourself at the low low price of $0. This has two effects: the trade volume grows, which makes it look like there is public interest in the coin, and you can pump up the price at the same time.

Crypto market cap does not equate the equivalent in dollars. When you create a new cryptocoin you can freely adjust the coin’s parameters such as the amount of available coins. So let’s say you “print” 1000 coins and sell one at $50. You now have a market cap of $50000.

It’s like pulling a rabbit out of a hat, with the notable distinction that the rabbit isn’t real. What makes it real is if enough suckers actually buy the coins with real dollars.

X is blocked here. What’s at this link?

Probably, but the headline will start with "US invades“ or "US demands“ or something along the line. Filtering out anything that starts with “Trump” is safe

Could you elaborate on that?

It’s for configuring joysticks in a simulator…

You asked for it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not exactly. The ratifying countries are bound by contract to arrest them. Plus It’s a serious issue not to do it, because this would delegitimize the ICC as an institution, which is not in the interest of most ratifying countries. So it essentially boils down to a choice between losing the court as a valuable weapon against war criminals or bad relations with Israel.

What happens after an arrest is another matter and I think that is where the real pressure would happen

Micromoochies, Nanomoochies, Picomoochies? The possibilities are endless

You’re misinformed and those generalisations are nothing but uneducated hatred. Muslims do not all share the same beliefs, in the same way that Christians have different types of beliefs (like catholic, protestant, Jehovah’s witnesses or the Ku Klux Klan) The people you are talking about are a relatively small subset of extremists, which exist in every religion, even in Buddhism.

Btw, I’m not defending any religion here. I’m not a religious person. It’s just stupid to label a world religion with 2 billion members as potential terrorists. Most of them are just ordinary people living their daily lives.

You are a victim of right wing propaganda if you forget that.

Thank you kind stranger

As a non-native english speaker, I don’t know what “pegging” means and now I’m too afraid to look it up.

That’s not entirely correct. While the US is without a doubt the biggest part of (and contributor to) NATO, it consists of a few other nations as well. But you are absolutely right that Europe needs to get their shit together because it is very likely that the US will scale down their NATO involvement

It was meant to be a word play with a neocapitalist concept by that name. It’s literally trickling down on the users.
