Also, no novelty - strong reject, no revision possible 🙂↔️
While I agree with most points you make, I cannot see a machine that is, at a bare minimum, able to translate between arbitrary languages become irrelevant anytime in the foreseeable future.
I might be missing the point, but isn’t this a decently dumbed-down description of the difference between services that are end-to-end encrypted and those that are not?
Sad how this comment gets downvoted, despite making a reasonable argument.
This comment section appears deeply partisan: If you say something along the lines of “Boo Google, AI is bad”, you get upvotes. And if you do not, you find yourself in the other camp. Which gets downvoted.
The actual quality of the comment, like this one, which states a clever observation, doesn’t seem to matter.
I dislike the entire article. Of course google search still works just fine. Claiming otherwise is only possible by magnifying a small, admittedly disfunctioning part of google search.
Probably the oligarchs, based in this law, can use their lawyers to sue the person who dares to do so publicly.
lol nice rage farming 10/10.
I think I get your thinking, the options would be a) to produce these clips, or b) not to. I‘m not an expert in military propaganda, maybe @[email protected] can explain: How would the war evolve if let‘s say only Russia produced these videos, but Ukraine didn’t? I imagine Ukraine would look weak to the outside observer, is that correct? What other effects do you obtain from producing these?
I agree, those 30s clips that show a person getting blown into pieces are dehumanizing. So is war in general.
But remember who is on the right side of history in this. I am convinced the Ukrainian that edited this clip would rather do something different with their life. Their country got attacked though, and propaganda videos like this one are one way of defending it.
In 1945, my grandfather was due for being drafted into the Wehrmacht as part of one last, „glorious“ attempt to defend Germany against the Allies. All men his age, he was 17 at that time, got recruited into the Wehrmacht with soldiers roaming the streets and forcibly recruiting them.
Grandpa hid himself in the fucking basement for several months to not get drafted. Because he did not want to get killed by the decisions of some braindead fascist maniacs. He risked his life doing so, survived, and lived a fulfilled life afterwards, helping to rebuild then-destroyed Germany.
Mr. Washing Machine had a similar choice. He decided to help attack another country and got gored in the process, having a washing machine drum over his head. Fuck that guy.
It‘s propaganda. You show it to your people to reassure them that the enemy is getting mamed and punished to appeal to their need for revenge.
And you hope this stuff gets spread within circles of the enemy to show them they will be killed, crippled and gored if they oppose you.
From that perspective, the fascists (Putin & co) have agency and the ability to decide their actions (attack another country), but the conscripts don’t, they’re passively „being thrown“. I strongly disagree with that point of view.
These conscripts at least partially decide to throw themselves into a meatgrinder, hoping for glory and money at the expense of the Ukrainian people. Fuck them.
I agree, I strongly advise Ukraine not to go all-in on archers.
That packaging surely caused Doppel Trouble.
yeah. Made me think I hang out too much in this /c/. Like that’s just HD footage of a graveyard with dying people in it. That one russian changed his position on the ground so he could die more comfortably.
I disagree. If you need to keep your coworkers in front of a webcam for half a day to make sure they work, then I think your workplace’s culture is messed up and you’re part of an unhealthy dynamic. I believe supervision is something different.
If people don’t work when you’re not around, then I’m afraid your workplace has a bad culture. And chances are you are part of a dynamic that makes others not work when you’re not there, even though that’s not your intention.

I agree but isn’t the choice between “the terrible guys” and “the okayish guys”?
