Sadly it took three years of a horrific war for the west to start realizing this.

I remember people calling me an idiot and a Russian shill for saying this would happen only months ago 🤣

that’s because you’re an ignoramus

Chinese investment in Africa has had ‘Significant And Persistently Positive’ long-term effects https://www.eurasiareview.com/01022021-chinese-investment-in-africa-has-had-significant-and-persistently-positive-long-term-effects-despite-controversy/

So, what you’re actually saying you’d rather live under capitalism because it’s not impacting your freedom, and you don’t care about others. Meanwhile, claiming that western Germany was economically stronger than the USSR is another example of you being divorced from reality. It’s the same sort of logic people applied to modern Russia comparing its GDP to Italy. Now, it turns out Russian industrial production is higher than all of the west combined. This is how capitalism rots people brains, they start thinking imaginary numbers are more important than material reality.

It’s a tool with some interesting capabilities. It’s very much in a hype phase right now, but legitimate uses are also emerging. Automatically generating subtitles is one good example of that. We also don’t know what the plateau for this tech will be. Right now there are a lot of advancements happening at rapid pace, and it’s hard to say how far people can push this tech before we start hitting diminishing returns.

For non generative uses, using neural networks to look for cancer tumors is a great use case https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9904903/

Another use case is using neural nets to monitor infrastructure the way China is doing with their high speed rail network https://interestingengineering.com/transportation/china-now-using-ai-to-manage-worlds-largest-high-speed-railway-system

DeepSeek R1 appears to be good at analyzing code and suggesting potential optimizations, so it’s possible that these tools could work as profilers https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/27/llamacpp-pr/

I do think it’s likely that LLMs will become a part of more complex systems using different techniques in complimentary ways. For example, neurosymbolics seems like a very promising approach. It uses deep neural nets to parse and classify noisy input data, and then uses a symbolic logic engine to operate on the classified data internally. This addresses a key limitation of LLMs which is the ability to do reasoning in a reliable way and to explain how it arrives at a solution.

Personally, I generally feel positively about this tech and I think it will have a lot of interesting uses down the road.

Your comment above says otherwise.

Bye!

whatever you say child

very soon

What you don’t seem to realize is that Trump is a symptom of the underlying problem. Once he’s gone, there will be somebody just like him or worse in charge.

Trump is an idiot and he has plenty of ways to fuck up his own plans. However, it’s obvious that the US has Europe bent over a barrel at this point. Europe is entirely dependent on the US economically and militarily at this point. The US holds all the cards in this relationship and that means Europeans will simply have to accept the punishment.

So your complaint is that the US can no longer do interference around the world unilaterally and that Russia is countering US propaganda with their own. Interesting take there.

Everything you’ve written applies to the US. In fact, the US has entire organizations like USAID and NED specifically dedicated to the types or interference you’re complaining about. Nothing Russia has ever done even comes close to that.

The vassals aren’t going to fight their master.

So, you’re saying Russia does same things the US and other great powers do? The problem with your “argument” here is that nobody actually showed that anything Russia has done actually swayed the election in the US.

Oh man wait till you find out the kinds of interference the US does around the world. Russia just follows the rules based order here as established by the hegemon.

You are wrong about vanguarism being bad because history clear shows that it is the most reliable method for actually combating capitalism. Anarchists refuse to accept this basic reality and continue advocating approaches that have failed time and again for over a century now. It’s quite telling that this ideology exists primarily in the western imperial core.

thank you for providing an example of dialogue that’s detached from reality

A better question is which instances have dominant points of view that actually align with the material reality we inhabit. Difference of opinion is only valuable when the opinion is grounded in factual understanding of the real world. It’s valuable to have different views and interpretation of the facts, but if a view is divorced from reality then it’s just noise.
