Its odd how I viewed academia as a beautiful place where people were judged by merit not by politics. Then I joined it and realized its even more cutthroat than corporate politics, I guess you cant escape human fallibility no matter the system since all systems are reflections of human nature.

The elephant in the room is that America doesnt want Russia to lose. Russia is basically America's dog, used to scare European countries in spending either 2% or soon maybe 5% of their GDP to america in order to be "protected". It's a racket and both the USA and Russia are colluding.

TSMC being 2-4 years ahead of Samsung/Intel has nothing to do whether US would be willing to go on a nuclear war and move the entire world decades if not millenias back. No one can go on a direct war with a country with nukes unless they are ready for mutually assured destruction.
Russia thought the same when it thought it could hide behind its nukes. Alas.
Destroying infrastructure isn't automatically terrorism. If Russia bombed people (or e.g. caved in a building where civilians could be expected to inhabit and thereby die in the collapse) then it would be terrorism. Cable bombing isn't terrorism, it's just sparkling warfare.
Russia also bombs people though.
Question, what stops openai from downgrading existing models so that you're pushed up the subscription tiers to ever more expensive models? I'd imagine they're currently losing a ton of money supplying everyone with decent models with a ton of compute behind them because they want us to become addicted to using them right? The fact that classic free web searching is becoming diluted by low quality AI content will make us rely on these LLMs almost exclusively in a few years or so. Am I seeing this wrong?
Assuming I'm a politician, couldn't I use those imported people to stir up trouble so I can get enough political support to change legislation so it fits me like in the article here? More surveillance and control isn't a bad thing if you're at the top. Furthermore these imported people all have very simple "triggers" to make them do violent stuff so its very easy to use them towards your own ends.
Well the entire surveillance system we've slaved over to build during the ZIRP boom is ready to roll, AI was the final piece for cheap summarization of potential threats. Now the laws have to be drafted gently to boil the frog.
This has no relevance to the question
Why did he enter a country with an arrest warrant on his name? I don't understand it

I don’t get the connection between retail workers and doctors. It seems that they are “soulless hunks” for totally different reasons.
Its still empathy punishment at its core but starting from different incentives.
