Command detonated mines don’t fall under Ottawa treaty, so you might have had them (these are both claymore-type and OZM72-type)

Neither Ukraine or Russia are on that list, and a couple of countries that do have a possible defensive war against Russia in mind withdrew from that treaty. That and Ottawa treaty (banning AP victim-triggered landmines)

chatbots really are leaded gasoline for zoomers

it is some global anomaly that couple of biggest companies are essentially running on ad revenue (especially facebook and google)

wouldn’t it make more sense if that title went to company that is, idk, in food or construction or energy or mining business

deserved tbh

that watermark makes it look a bit like album cover

i mean while there’s a lot of pretend-work (promptfondlers) and pretending that chatbots work (managers pushing for use of chatbots, entire openai and their vcs) the people who do that to my understanding are on the highly paid side. until the bubble collapses, that is

Assuming this is the case, I wonder if it’s possible to weaponize it by identifying tokens with low overall reference counts that could be expanded with minimal investment of time. Sort of like Google bombing.

bet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda_network their approach seems to be less directional, initially was supposed to be doing something else (targeting human brains directly) and might have turned out to be a happy accident of sorts for them, but also they ramped up activities around end of 2022

millions of promptfondlers stopping in their tracks because some random dc burned down, lol, lmao even

i wonder what is state of openai infra, from what i gleaned from ed zitron it might be not great because it overheats and lots of budget already goes to hardware replacement

“we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.”

i’ve seen it in contexts where pay is shit so pace of work is shit as well but i think that lots of corporate promptfondlers are rather high in the pecking order? it’s management that seems to be charmed by spicy autocomplete, maybe not interns

there are people who get paid to facebook and twitter

Can’t wait to pay metaverse™ rent with libra®

if these two recently damaged A50s were operational, then they’re down to 4 from 6 before (per Budanov, as announced after two A50s were shot down by first Patriot, then S200)

“proper migration”? like what, spammy ghost town that is/was alien[.]top?

there are ways to make it work https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-23/russia-central-banker-wanted-out-over-ukraine-but-putin-said-no

tbf nobody should make, watch, think about, or interact in any way with ads. maybe this will cause uptick in ad blokcing

that’s a couple more Backfires that could be guessed from previous publicly available information

damn we’ve got cyberpsychos before gta 6

yeah, putin’s power comes from being an arbiter between different oligarchs. when he croaks it’ll be shitshow the likes you all haven’t seen since 90s

most of pleroma instances are packed with nazis, go figure

also nostr is mostly altright and cryptobros (but it’s not activitypub)

It looks like twitter was down for 2.5h. [hn] Previously there was a fire in twitter server farm which caused some availability issues. Gee i wonder how well these gas turbines are serviced
