is this “AI” you speak of in the room with you right now? If you believe that machine-learned pattern recognition and word prediction algorithms are “AI”, you shouldn’t be left anywhere near a compiler or production code.

That’s like asking the world’s best FPS gamers to “just try an aimbot”. Actual programmers do far better than a machine-learned bullshit printer.

So, I vibe-coded a new one

“I love to enable oligarchs and fascists”

I think that’s the joke here. However, thanks for pointing it out because I had not understood it at first.

I was looking for the onion link…

As a German, I agree.

Wrong place and context.

if a country has a lot of what I’ll call “culture” for simplicity’s sake

The irony is that the racist people typically do not have any culture, they spend their days with faces glued to smartphones, trashtalk and being egoistic assholes. Where smartphones / social media are part of the root cause, and the rest (egoism, trash talking, being racist) come from the same character trait: lack of empathy.

There’s that, too. But I hope we can find a way to keep the population size stable at most, because the world already has too many humans…

legitimate problems caused by immigration in Europe

Just my opinion, but: There are no systematic ones that can’t just as plausibly be explained by anti-immigrant stances of the locals. Yes, of course, immigration also means SOME people immigrating will be bad in one way or another, but statistically significantly not more or less than the amount of bad people born in the country. Most of the problems “with immigrants” arise from a mutual escalation of people not willing to integrate. In short, and without saying which comes first:

• immigrant does bad thing X
• anti-immigrant people point at X and claim it’s because they are immigrants
• some people will believe the accusations and behave more poorly towards immigrants
• some immigrants will turn the prejudice against them into a dislike / hatred of their host country
• immigrants do bad things
• rinse and repeat

Speaking for Germany, all of this is FAR outweighed by the richness that immigrants bring to our country. Germans - and I say that as a German - really needed (and still need) a lot of lessons in empathy and kind-heartedness - and we have more of that now than 50 years ago, thanks to not only evolution of society, but also thanks to immigrants from the mediterranean - Italians, Spanish, Greek and Turks. If Germany had no immigrants, I would leave this country in an instant.

your reading comprehension is below elementary school levels.

Previous poster was not questioning it but quoting the UN as the authority. https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-Nations-Resolution-242

I feel sorry for your 1 brain cell.

I don’t think the US military complex consider that “less undesirable” than basically any other possible outcome.

Either I disagree about the preferences of those murder-weapons-vendors, or you misunderstood my intentional double-negative, whose purpose it was to emphasize that it is absolutely not desirable that budgets have to be increased for mass-murder weapons.

I am saying the military industrial complex over in the divided states of fuck all and everyone, would absolutely prefer if people bought from them, less so as a cash-out but preferably as a permanent source of income. A privatized murder-weapons industry in the billions is the best way of ensuring we will never get lasting peace on this planet.

that is the less undesirable outcome, but still it is depressing how primitive and fucking dumb humans are to still be bashing each others skulls in in the year 2025.

Never underestimate the corruption and stupidity of European politicians. “Divide and conquer” works like a charm on most of our corrupt assholes. See the stupid opportunist fuck that the Germans elected chancellor. His (our :'( ) government is pushing for the use of the Palantir(!) software from fucking uber-Nazi-piece-of-shit Thiel in German administrations.

Probably because they want those 5% GDP spent for contracts with the 'murican military industrial complex.

Evidence says people aren’t skeptical for the most part and LLMs are good enough to fool all of us some of the time and some of us all of the time :(

Where did you read “USA good” in that post?

it is snake oil in the sense that it is being sold as “AI”, which it isn’t. It is dangerous because LLMs can be used for targeted manipulation of millions if not billions of people.
