It’s like if 200 million of China workforce were gig workers or something.

Good advice, except that’s not a long term storage. Bit corruption is a thing.

And the main AI companies have actual products that make money for them rolled out already. So it is not like the dot com bubble

I wouldn’t really know, I live in Poland and whenever I go West I’m surprised how backward technologically it is (France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland; only Portugal seems to be modern).

Maybe not backward but lacking internet-related improvements, like being able to take care of government thingies online (I think Denmark is the best in that regard), pay using your national pay processors, get cheap internet, update your opening hours online, not take a 4h break midday… you know, common conveniences

I wonder if you know that both Christianity and Islam are just splinter sects of Judaism? And if you’re against Judaism, or think it’s evil or smthing, you should consider being against its spin-offs.

We dont; we need USA pay processors alternatives, and of those in EU we have plenty (but I don’t know your specific country, so maybe not in your country).

The Middle East was one of the most progressive places in the world. Islam is still the most tolerant religion

Either you’re trolling, or have never studied history of Islam, it’s birth and spread. Or were taught those by your local priest.

What I can’t stand is people claiming that North Korea is not a dictatorship, China is democratic and Russia, poor them, was forced into invading other countries

I signed on .ml because that was the second most popular instance at that time; there are so many people in .ml enamoured with USSR, whitewashing it, that I tend to skip local posts because it’s not worth it. They behave like people brainwashed by USA propaganda but with different polarization.

Sometimes I think they might be CIA shills/bots created to discourage people from socialist movements.

Btw - China does have local elections where people pick their local representative. So people can pick a person, but not the ideology - that is mandated from the high. It’s not exactly what I would call democratic, but hey, the more you know

Wouldn’t it be great if the US did the same thing?

But… You do. Example - no US invader can be charged with crimes against humanity, as the standing US policy is to then invade Hague. Another example - operation Gladio. Or even fucking TikTok from recent years that bent the knee and started spewing american R/Trump propaganda after last election is USA

There are things China does right.

Like retirement age of 55. Like nationalising billionaires when they get too big.

It also does a shitton of things wrong, but credit when credit is due.

Compared to polish cities too it’s not that small.

That was my point, what I saw looked like a small, provincial polish city with an old town, tourists, relaxing people, etc.

I really don’t understand where your “Basel is a small provincial town” impression is rooted.

I literally explained that in my last comment. I thought it was small, provincial city, full of medium sized buildings, full of tourists, that was so close to neighboring cities they shared trams. I spent a month there. I swam down the river, was forced to see removed street, had a public grill next to the river, went to see some overpriced art festival, stuff like that.

I remember that after we took a tram to German suburbs (or neighbouring city) there was a lot of police checking out Arabs and their documents.

Thank you though for the population size information. Does it take into consideration metropolitan area across three countries or only the Swiss part? I’m not arguing here, just curious.

No, no, you don’t have to explain that to me, I’m from Poland. It’s just that Basel is like, small and lacking skyscrapers even for me (aka “cozy”), so I always thought during my time there that it’s like, IDK, Perth - not really known world wide nor really associated as the profile picture of the country - and thus my confusion. Does that make sense?

third largest

Oh, I didn’t know that. I loved that place but I thought it’s like… you know, deep province small city.

Yes, but it’s like a small city?

This looks like Basel, is it Basel? Why photo of Basel for Switzerland?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_crime

This wikipedia article lists all different studies why. The short answer is patriarchy - men have more occasion to commit crimes and it’s more acceptable from gender role point of view for men to do so.

It also list studies of crimes and offenses where women are found to be more often perpetrators than men, including a very comprehensive guide to domestic violence studies.

To sum it up - you’re both correct, men do more bullshit, women have similar capacity for it, we are expected to express the bullshit differently.

Nah, most likely AI made the summary and that’s why it’s wrong :)

The article says its OpenAi model, not Facebooks?

I stand corrected.

The AGI, by definition, will make something vastly better than diffusion model. That’s one of the cornerstones of AGI, it will explode it’s capabilities.
