I guess articles like this create high engagement, they are the very definition of rage-bait.

What’s saddening is the complete lack of integrity on every level of the publisher. Surely they must know that this is blatant misinformation, but they just don’t care.

Stuff like this does have consequences, it shapes the discussion and leads to bad decisions and outcomes. But like in so many instances, everyone is fine with it as long as they can convince themselves that they won’t be affected by the results of their own actions.

Wow, and in the NYT no less. This will make a lot of people a lot more stupid. I guess the AI grift needs to go on for a while longer.

Narrator: “They didn’t stop the hostilities. In fact, they started a major offensive.”

Since he’s openly talking about it now or won’t take long for the first time to actually happen.

Wow, he did not only blink first, he did it in record time, too.

Now the whole world can learn how to deal effectively with this would-be strongman.

He makes Lukashenko look like a sensible, intelligent statesman in comparison.

This looks very promising!

I have “US defaulting on its debt” on my Trump presidency bingo card. No one knows what happens if it comes to that.

I also have “US testing a nuclear warhead” on there, for what it’s worth.

… and they’re not wrong. Now we have two authoritarian world powers, yay!

Somehow this is the most dystopian thing I’ve witnessed recently. Just straight up disappearing reality once it doesn’t fit the regime’s narrative. Chilling.

Totally relatable, I often create group chats about conducting air strikes on foreign countries for me and my colleagues, it’s just so easy and efficient. I once almost invited someone from our HOA to it, but I luckily spotted her immediately and removed her again. No worries.

This was the worms’ plan all along: finally revenge on the chickens.

Oh cool, so this world ensure it spreads to humans. Would could go wrong?

I made a joke about this in a German community and yet here we are. Satire is dead, murdered by the imbeciles in the Trump administration.

Whoops! But it says “belt and road”, not river, so everything is in order.

Fully agree, the software landscape on Linux is mind blowing.

Every couple of years I try out the latest “assistant”. I ask very simple queries, stuff that you might expect it to be able to handle. It always disappoints hilariously.

Questions where previous assistants consistently and utterly failed: “What’s the weather going to be like today?” “I want to go to [address], using public transport, can you tell me which routes I have to take?” “What are my appointments today?”

You’d think these are pretty obvious use-cases, but every iteration of assistants was completely incapable of getting even close to a satisfying answer. I don’t expect LLMs to fare better this time around.

That “article”, though. I thought I had just read the intro, but it was the whole thing. It’s this what passes for online journalism now?

I’ve noticed an uptik of pro Chinese propaganda content here on lemmy in recent days. I am afraid the fediverse had been discovered.
