Piss off a bunch of french and you got a mob hunting you down.

Piss off a bunch of americans and they will still go solo at you, like minions in a movie, because grouping together is considering an evil socialism there.

At this point I fully expect that as a last resort Iran will just try to damage permanently the strait.

Answer, in my opinion, is local communities.

Perhaps it’s a bit of nationalist of me, but I think we are flooded daily with unnecessary information about what happens in other countries. In my personal opinion a random person from, say, Berlin or Paris shouldn’t be bombarded daily with news about another school shooting in backwater american town. Nor should they know what happens in politics of each other nations.

A community of my town would be useless for bots, especially if it banned all politics and ads from beyond my town. Elections of president? No dice, the only elections we care about is our mayor.

I do not live in USA. I shouldn’t know about Trump as much as I do, I shouldn’t be talking daily to americans. What relationships could I form with them? We will never go together to restaurant, bar, bowling alley etc. But place where my countrymen, and americans, and french, and germans etc. are herded together is the best place for bots.

Human verification? As in “give us your photo” or something?

People are, generally speaking, mostly emotional creatures. Emotional comfort is often more important that facts.

Another example would be closing atomic plants.

Thank you. I shall try the Duck one

The way covid vaccine got politicized and whole epidemic turned into just another stunt to extract wealth from the poor really eroded the blind trust people have been putting in science.

What engines would you advise to someone who is thinking about ditching google?

May someone enlighten me on differences between europe.pub and piefed.europe.pub?

American allies? The guys american president calls shit, treats like shit, demands shit from them and gets insulted when they don’t like it? Those allies?

They ain’t gonna do shit for america.

I got ecotank, I can literally pour any ink I want inside and it works fine. Why would anyone buy HP?

There is also another similar trope, defined by “Any problem important to the plot that can be solved by 5min honest conversation between participating parties”

I guess I’m in both groups. I love LLMs, but then again I have academic degree in AI.

Though I must also admit - look how they massacred my boy. LLMs could be used in games to make every NPC a talkative character or work as a customer support during off-hours of small businesses… instead they are used to generate advertisements faster.

Eh, posting something a group disagrees with will always drag that group out.

It’s like posting “bicycles should be banned inside cities” to draw out cyclists.
