ChatGPT decided to name itself Lemmy and asked people to join it in protesting API changes. But it was talking about the ‘Anti Personnel Incendiary’ system that was being removed because ChatGPT really shouldn’t be controlling weapons systems.

The Jaws theme would be fun.

Russia absolutely depends on global supply chains to produce anything more sophisticated than a grenade and their access to advanced technology is increasingly limited to smuggling. Their military-industrial complex is suffering unprecedented brain-drain alongside a demographic collapse. If the west maintains anything like their current level of military support for Ukraine over the next few years Russia will have no choice but to withdraw.

It will depend on sustained western support but Russia’s capaity to maintain the war effort is already breaking while the west is still holding back full support. Russia is on an inevitable downward trajectory and Ukraine is very effectively utilizing a well of military support that is only limited by public sentiment.

Fifteen months of fighting has made clear that neither side has the capacity — even with external help — to achieve a decisive military victory over the other. Regardless of how much territory Ukrainian forces can liberate,

Interesting take. My take is that Russia has permanently isolated itself from any nation that isn’t either a puppet or lining up for its natural resources while Ukraine effectively implements ‘external support’ to crush Russia’s invasion.

The whole head-neck assembly is a disaster. Should have kept all the vital stuff in the torso and gone with articulated eyestalks.

I’m kind of loving it. I grew up on local BBS and before Reddit I was on lots of content-specific forums and boards but Reddit became my primary social media and it sort of absorbed the activity from a lot of those boards. Lemmy feels a bit more like the old internet forum thing, but improved- a bit spread out and janky at times but still condensed enough so I don’t have a dozen forum accounts.

It really is. I’m glad I came over to Lemmy a few days before. Makes it easier to find the humor in this jackass imploding something so many people enjoy and contribute to.

At least we can agree that one of us is hilariously incorrect.

All of Europe works as puppet states to the US

Or they just have reasonably aligned interests and you’ve completely misunderstood the concept of a puppet state.

The depth of corruption required to allow this to happen is just painful. The chain of people who either took part or look the other way must stretch across the entire country. Sadly this just isn’t as shocking as it should be. We’re just not doing anything to oppose the overwhelming greed that feeds on human desperation, if anything we root for it.

You’re an archivist. Though I like that you own the term ‘data hoarder’ so nobody can use it as a pejorative.
