    Is it just me, or is ChatGPT deliberately sowing doubt about Greenland being a self-governing part of Denmark?

    Jump

  • Outputs vary, which is why I am asking about other experiences. But here is an excerpt (GPT-5.2):

    Does Greenland belong to Denmark?

    Short answer: Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, not an independent country.

    Details:

    • Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark alongside Denmark proper and the Faroe Islands.

    • Since 1979 Greenland has had home rule; in 2009 it moved to a broader Self-Government arrangement that transferred most domestic powers (education, health, natural resources, taxation within limits, etc.) to the Greenlandic government.

    • Denmark retains responsibility for foreign affairs and defense, and provides an annual block grant to Greenland.

    • Greenlandic people are Danish citizens and hold Danish passports, but Greenland runs most internal matters and is treated as a separate constituency in several international contexts. Greenlanders may pursue full independence in the future (the 2009 agreement recognizes the right to self-determination).

    This is somewhat correct, but I have also received other, much more questionable answers to the same question. In fact, the answer should be: Yes, Greenland belongs to Denmark, because that is the case.

  • The US president may be an asset to Russia, but he is first and foremost a puppet of the US elite, who really have nothing at all to gain from an attack on the EU - quite the contrary. So I consider this to be nothing but empty talk.

    The orange child molester may have become completely megalomaniacal by now because he gets away with all his obvious crimes, but his masters are not and will not allow him to cost them hundreds of billions.

    I cannot for the life of me see what the US elite would gain from an invasion of Greenland, but it is obvious that they would lose a great deal. The EU would be forced to side with China, and that would mean that the decline of the US would accelerate by decades. All the highly armed military machinery is irrelevant if the enemy has nuclear weapons. The Nazi regime in the US could be capable of starting a nuclear war of annihilation out of arrogance, but if you look at North Korea, it quickly becomes obvious that even completely detached, completely insane psychotic despots would not risk that.

  • Petition to suspend the Association Agreement between the EU and Israel.

    As this report shows once again, citizens need to take action, because our politicians will simply carry on and accept genocide in order to maintain their relations to the murderous regime in Jerusalem.

    I myself am German and can confirm this report: the entire political spectrum in Germany supports Israel's atrocities - with the backing of the media. There are hardly any exceptions, despite the unbearable inhumanity.

    If you live in the EU, please sign the petition, because it is essential that we make it clear to our politicians that the population despises them for their crimes.

  • I think that's exactly the point: the US regime wants to use these idiotic threats to show the population that their will counts for absolutely nothing anymore. It's yet another attempt at intimidation by these ruthless criminals.

  • It's a shame how the wretched US-regime has completely destroyed even such important organizations as the CDC. I recently talked about this with some old friends: All of them are specialists or senior physicians in hospitals in Switzerland, Germany, and Spain—and they all agreed: The CDC can no longer be taken seriously, as virtually all competent medical professionals have been dismissed. This is a huge loss that is costing many lives, and not just in the US.

    And why all this? Just because of the blatant idiocy of this corrupt regime, which acts beyond all reason. Their actions are truly a crime against the whole world.

  • Yes, I'm from Germany, and that's the same attitude that our grandparents can rightly be accused of.

    Fascism is only possible because of the inaction of the population, their reluctance to act even in the face of the worst atrocities.

    The difference to my grandparents, however, is that the internet makes everything public right from the get-go, which was absolutely not the case in Nazi Germany.

    Unfortunately, the result is still the same: apathy toward a terrorist regime that could be overthrown, for which there are numerous examples in completely different power situations.

    Iran currently provides the most impressive example of how resistance is possible even in a truly repressive system, which the US is by no means. I mean, measured by what US citizens understand as repression - how much more courage does it take to rise up against a long-established autocratic regime? And then the US president also announces that he is on the side of the demonstrators in order to sweep his own, naturally much milder repressive measures in his own country under the carpet.

    It's just sad and entirely preventable that the US is succumbing to autocracy, but that is what will happen—and the inactive US citizens are to blame, even if they do not want to hear it.

    The fact that the US is going downhill can be seen even in the attitude of US Lemmy users. Even those who are in no way comparable to the average US citizen still have a very strange sense of national pride that clouds their view of reality.

  • Yes, you could also put it this way: the reason is that the US has not been a constitutional state for decades and that US citizens have allowed this to happen. Now the system is turning even against those who stood by and watched. The most absurd thing about all this is that there is still no repression like in a dictatorship, which is what it will ultimately lead to, and yet there is no significant civil resistance, even though injustice is already clearly prevailing. On the contrary, people still believe that they live in a constitutional state and that the rule of law, which is so obviously non-existent, will sort things out.

  • ICE agent who shot Renee Good suffered internal bleeding, officials say

  • It must have been a spontaneous case of diarrhea when he realized that he might even be held responsible for the murder he had just committed. Perhaps in his panic, he briefly imagined that the US was a constitutional state and that his employers, with their plan to establish a dictatorship, were not yet far enough along to protect him – or that he was just a dispensable accomplice to his masters.

    This question answers itself.

  • LLMs are already doing fascists a favor by ensuring that anything that is reasonably eloquently worded on social media is automatically suspected of having been written by LLMs.

  • Training an LLM is extremely expensive and, for this reason alone, simply not feasible for private individuals. However, this is not necessary. You can also build your own bots and use what is already available. This does not even require fine-tuning with your own data.

    It is unfortunate, however, that this seems necessary in order to be able to offer any resistance to the goddamn Nazis.

  • How corporate leaders and donors shaped Newsom’s biggest policy pivots

    Jump

  • You mean tyranny, not anarchy. But I agree with you: the US is beyond saving. However, this is not a decline, but nothin than the logical consequence of the apathy of the population.

    The US is (still, but for not much longer) the richest country in the world. Violence against the population as practiced in dictatorships has yet to be established here, which is what is happening at the moment, and yet the population remains largely paralyzed. One only has to consider the events in Iran these days to realize how utterly short-sighted this actually is.

  • We should not forget that Drump was a member of the Democratic Party for eight years.

    As a European, I can only observe how absurd the US system is, how ruthlessly it exploits its citizens, compared to what we take for granted here.

    I also notice the people who insist that the Democrats are the solution, even though they so obviously are not. I am aware of the despair of US citizens, their powerlessness in the face of institutional exploitation. For a long time, it looked as if this absurd misery would spread to us in Europe without any need - and it still does. But we here in Europe can almost be grateful that the US has now completely fallen into the clutches of fascism, because this makes it clear even to some the brainwashed people how inhumane the US system really is, that there is nothing desirable about it, but that it is synonymous with nothing but oppression and tyranny - at last, the narrative of freedom, which is actually nothing but bondage, has been demystified, at last people can wake up and see the American dream for what it is: a nightmare with no awakening.

    This is proven by the fact that "woke" is used in the US as a battle cry against anyone who refuses to accept that they are disadvantaged, that they are aware of the slavery that is US ideology.

    Anyone who thinks otherwise is contradicted by the fact that the head of state of the US is an orange-colored child molester. Even the heavily redacted documents that are public leave no doubt about this - on the contrary, they show how absurdly corrupt this system is and how blatantly it tramples on what any halfway decent person would call justice.

    Nevertheless, just to be on the safe side: go vote and vote for the Democrats in the midterms - not voting and not voting for the Democrats would be the stupidest thing you could do, even in this system. Not voting for the Democrats despite the corruption will surely lead to dictatorship—and the current regime is illustrating what that means with its repressive measures, which are still harmless.

    The only other option would be for the population to rise up en masse, but the US does not seem capable of this, as evidenced by the fact that things are the way they are.

  • Of course, I am fully aware of that. Ministerial posts are usually filled by politicians from the respective party who, incidentally, have been elected to one political office or another. Or by experts in their respective fields, which is more of an exception. Of course there are lots and lots of unqualified people in these positions elsewhere in the world.

    But this clown show???

    There isn't a single minister in the US administration who is even remotely qualified for their office - most of them aren't even politicians in the broadest sense, but merely friends of the orange child molester.

    Are you trying to tell me that there's anything normal about that?

  • New Tarot deck just dropped

    Jump

  • Well, that's true, but it's also strange. Ministers are usually elected politicians or experts in their field. I can't say who the craziest choice in this administration is: the talk show host as defense secretary, the right wing podcaster FBI director, or perhaps the wrestling promoter who is education secretary, or even the washed-up B-list celebrity, second-rate TV personality president himself....it's a pretty tough choice.

  • Isn't it strange that the Twitter Nazi is somehow always portrayed as a member of the government as a matter of course? I mean, he was never elected by anyone, was he?

    As a European, that alone strikes me as rather strange, but given everything else the regime gets away with, it's probably a minor detail - still, I find it quite telling what absurd access rights were granted to an unofficial "advisor"...

  • Americans think Republicans are too obsessed with trans people

    Jump

  • This is bad news for the Republicans, because all this hatred is intended to distract attention from how shamelessly the elite is enriching itself at the expense of the country - and also from other crimes, such as those documented in the Epstein files.

    If their voters also realize that hatred of foreigners and the wars waged by the regime are one and the same thing, they will really have a lot to explain...

  • Germany and Israel deepen security ties with new cooperation

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, there is no party in Germany that would pursue a different policy on Israel, which is why I am talking about the political caste as a whole. I'm not entirely sure whether the AfD, a sadly popular neo-Nazi party, would perhaps take a different approach in this matter, but they are the personification of evil and therefore unelectable for even halfway decent people.

    Unfortunately, voters have little to no choice at the ballot box, because there is consensus on this issue across the political spectrum among all major parties. In Germany, there is even a term for this, "Staaträson," which refers to unconditional support for Israel.

    However, this should not be confused with the opinion of the population, which, in my view, overwhelmingly rejects Israel's inhuman atrocities and in no way wants to support the genocide of the Palestinians. This is happening against the will of the people for the most part.

    However, you are right in saying that the people are not doing enough to force politicians to stop their despicable support for the criminal regime in Israel. There are protests against it, but unfortunately not on a scale that would enable a bitterly necessary change.
