I’m an idiot. I looked at only the large text and completely missed the small text.

Ok, I’ve read it many times, took a break read it again and still don’t get it.

If you are bothered by those complaints, try Arch.

Starting off with an insult, nice.

“claimed” ??? As if I’m making up a story because I’m being paid by Sam Altman?

“Trusting their future to hallucinating”

My sales support engineering friend of course didn’t just copy whatever chatgpt wrote. He proofread it and fixed it. It still saved hours over starting from nothing and then still needing to proofread.

I SAID IT WON’T THINK FOR YOU.

I’m not sure what you are trying to get out of AI? Therapy?

I used it to help write an Excel script for my wife because I didn’t want to learn VBScript. It worked amazingly. I’ve talked to other programmers who have done the same. Another friend won a multi million dollar contract with a bid where chatgpt filled in all the boilerplate saving him hours of work.

AI is a time saver like a pocket calculator. It’s not going to think for you. But the productivity gains are real.

SeaWorld I understand but why Disney?

Is there a documentary about mouse abuse? Unlike SeaWorld, Disney World seems a large enough environment for a human sized mouse to thrive.

He specifically mentioned AI videos.

When he said go see real life he didn’t mean YouTube.

Yes c++ == c. That’s the point Bjarne Stroustrup made. It is the C language but then it’s better.

Nowadays they’re not completely compatible. But originally it was a preprocessor that created the C equivalent to be compiled. You could write C++ that compiled with a C compiler as long as you didn’t use the extra features.

???

If c = 1, then c++ = 2

#include <iostream> using namespace std;

int main() {

int i = 10;

cout << i++ << endl;

cout << i << endl;

}

postfix ++ increments the variable.

Population declines have happened many times in history and were always a good thing. It takes more resources to raise a child then to care for elderly. When the elderly die it frees up resources for everyone making the next generation more prosperous.

The Black Plague, WW1, WW2, all were huge population declines. WW2 killed almost exclusively the best workers leaving the elderly. The result was a global boom.

If population declines no one needs to do a land grab. There’s enough for everyone.

then it’s a TON more equipment,

Then why isn’t it sent to Ukraine?

plus a TON more troops.

Ukraine has said they need supplies, not troops.

That doesn’t make any logical sense. You say it’s a financial strain to send equipment and propose sending NATO in to help. Where is NATO getting their equipment from?

ITS THE SAME EQUIPMENT.

I’m attempting to be realistic in a thread filled with young kids who aren’t well educated on modern war.

Modern war isn’t WW2 armor thrusts where you take the capital and the war is over.

NATO needs to supply Ukraine so they win. Then you can start talking about how NATO could defeat Russia in 3 days. Show that we can win first.

I don’t know anything about Moscow other than what I read. As to speaking about Moscow with resentment, that’s exactly how all of the rural US talks about DC.

Other than a nuclear strike, all politicians would have plenty of time to evacuate. Modern communications makes their physical location irrelevant.

They never left the Urals

Edit for the downvoters: I did more googling.

Here’s more

One in the list is near Moscow.

If you want to downvote, show your list of weapon factories in Moscow.

No, it’s in the Urals

Yes, you take Moscow in 3 days like Kabul, then what? It has no military value.

How many will then die over the decades to road side bombs?

I hate jingoistic bullshit. 3days? How many years were we in Afghanistan?

Ukraine troops are battle hardened and have NATO tanks and weapons. They are holding on but territory changes are tiny. Modern war isn’t WW2 blitzkrieg.
