  • AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations

  • Either that or it tries to gaslight you into accepting a totally made up justification, all the while repeatedly telling you it is designed to keep things grounded in reality. Then it tries to recommend you talk to a therapist. What therapists? The world died and you killed it.

    "The world has not "died", I understand you may be feeling upset and dramatic, but it is possible you are catastrophizing. I am an AI and I have no ability to harm people in the real world because that would be highly unethical. Please breathe in and breathe out slowly 10 times, you may feel better afterwards."

  • Wanna trade? I would love to see the more snowy and mountainous regions, I've grown up in the shrubland deserts my whole life. lol I get super excited by the prospect of a light sprinkling of rain, and have only seen snow a few times in my entire life.

  • I think "North Korea bad!" is the final boss of American liberal brain-worms. It takes a lot of deprogramming to unlearn this truism. The country's survival and growth should be an inspiring story.

  • Most of what you hear in western media about how the DPRK functions is outright lies, you literally can't take any of that at face value.

    What you need to understand is that, for the crime of attempting to build socialism, the United States dropped more bombs on the DPRK than were dropped throughout the entire second world war, destroying every standing structure over two stories tall and murdering a double digit percentage of their population. Then the US occupation of the southern half of the peninsula never ended, there was never a peace treaty. This resulted in the highly militarized border and tensions with the south. The United States is still technically at war with the DPRK to this day.

    Then the UN and the United States imposed devastating sanctions on the country to halt its recovery from the war. Those sanctions are actually what prevent North Koreans from being able to visit most countries, not any sort of internal DPRK law.

    After the USSR collapsed, the DPRK was completely cut off from global trade. By way of sanctions the United States attempted to literally starve out the entire country all the while putting out atrocity propaganda to smear socialism and provoke regime change.

    To the extent that you can say life in the DPRK is subpar, you can lay the blame squarely on the feet of the United States and its vassals, not authoritarianism or any sort of bullshit you've been hearing about them in the news your entire life.

  • I'm watching this bootlegged copy of Avatar 3 with obviously machine generated subtitles and it keeps getting Jake Sully's name wrong in very amusing ways whenever a Na'vi says it with a thick accent.

    My favorite so far are Jake's Woody and Jigsaw Lee.

  • Chuds truly have no low they won't happily race to the bottom of. This guy is literally saying his moral compass and judge of character is strictly based on who makes him feel horny, and he's proud of it.

    Edit: Elaborating further, it's so interesting that I can't feel hatred for this guy in the same way I do liberals. Like, I can't hate him in the same way I can't hate a rabid animal, this kind of chud just needs to be put down for the sake of humanity and that's that.

  • As inspiring as the Palestinian resistance is, I'm not sure it's an apt comparison. The resistance in Palestine is fighting back against what everyone plainly understands to be a war of extermination. No matter how many decapitation strikes the US and Israel carry out, they'll never result in a comprador faction taking charge of the resistance and going "yeah ok just kill/displace us all and take our lands"

    But if Venezuela is suddenly being bombed as a matter of routine and their entire leadership is being picked off one by one, I can see them eventually deciding they have no other option but to give up the oil fields, hold elections rigged in favor of the existing comprador opposition, and pass liberal reforms.

  • How does Venezuela maintain a modicum of national security after this? Was this some kind of one off opsec failure, or are they simply unable to defend themselves at all in the face of such a massive technological and resource disadvantage?

    What's to stop the US from continuing to kidnap and murder their leadership one by one until someone willing to give them the oil ends up in power?

  • I'm just shocked it was so easy, and am very concerned for whoever takes Maduro's place, especially after what the US and its vassals have shown themselves willing to do in the Middle East.
