buying dumped goods only makes the situation worse as it means those players and playing on an uneven playing field

So let me get this straight, instead of buying a $20k Chinese EV to meet a necessity of modern life, you should pay $60k for a worse car where all the money goes to shareholders and dealership markups so you can be on an even playing field?

We're not talking about buying the cheap throw away Chinese product instead of the built for life one, we're not talking about consumerism at all. We're talking about taking a 5+ year loan for something society forces you to own in most cities around the world, and making Elon rich isn't a better alternative than having $40k in your savings account.

You can run a model locally on your phone and it will answer most prompts without breaking a sweet, it's actually way less energy than googling and loading the content from a website that's hosted 24/7 just waiting for you to access the content.

Training a model is expensive, using it isn't.

The problem is that these assholes plan the slaughter of civilians so casually and cheer and celebrate it like monsters, and they sold that to you as "national security".

No they didn't. Iran didn't bomb every hospital and clinic in Israel repeatedly, Iran didn't bomb Israel fertility centers, Iran didn't ambush and shoot doctors and bury their bodies, Iran didn't drone strike ambulances AFTER coordinating their movement. Iran didn't bulldoze graves of all the people it slaughtered to invade a hospital and destroy its water lines, Iran didn't evacuate hospitals at gun point and leave infants to starve to death alone in hospital beds. Iran didn't do any of that.

Israel did all that, and more, and they bragged about it very loudly and posted all the evidence themselves.

You're halfway there. Now ask yourself why a civilian has a distinction in their language when they're describing world leaders? Why is Iran ruled by a "regime" and any is Israel seeking "regime" change? Why are Western countries not ruled by "regimes"?

Wow, you really should be disgusted with yourself right now. Go take a shower, Jesus Christ.

You were satisfied seeing someone "flee for her life" because you interpreted her foreign language and hand gestures as "she was self-righteously wagging the finger", and that was enough to make a journalist fleeing for her life because a fascist genocidal state bombed her TV station "felt good".

🤮🤮🤮

You're doing it again, Nazi sympathizer. Iran is being bombed by fascist baby murderers, but you really want people to just be aware that Iran is the bad guy.

You're moving the goalposts. You said you need nuance in how to measure a shirt size, you're arguing just to argue.

If a model ever starts answering these curiosities inaccurately, it would be an insufficient model for that task and wouldn't be used for it. You would immediately notice this is a bad model when it tells you to measure your neck to get a sleeve length.

Am I making sense? If the model starts giving people bad answers, people will notice when reality hits them in the face.

So I'm making the assertion that many models today are already sufficient for accurately answering daily curiosities about modern life.

As the victim. Iran is the topic as the victim of an unprovoked attack by a Jewish supremacist rogue state actively committing genocide.

And your contribution was to highlight "the victim does this other unrelated thing".

I've spelled it out to you, and I didn't need to insult your mental capacity to do it.

You're engaging in manufacturing consent for the unprovoked attack by bringing up an unrelated grievance with the victim, as if it justified or makes it more acceptable.

Oh for sure, I'm just saying they don't even need to hit any targets and they'd still be winning long term. They are capable of much more, and Israel can't fight Iran without US.

Satanyahu is betting on forcing Trump to agree to war with Iran on his watch. Avoiding that is thankfully one of Trump's main priorities, hopefully they don't succeed in changing his calculus on it.

And they aren't able to and won't be able to maintain media blackout much longer, Iran has stated that they will keep going and will go harder, and we've already seen some seriously damaged neighborhoods. As long as Iran keeps it reasonable (and what is reasonable has changed tremendously in the last two years of genocide and western media going hard to defend and justify Israeli war crimes), I think Trump can tolerate way more destruction of Tel Aviv than netanyahu thought he would.

Iran has spent decades building an arsenal of cheap drones that aren't really designed to hit targets, they are designed to financially cripple Israel by expending expensive iron dome charges.
