we'd also probably think differently about nato if one of the founding members didn't ethnically cleanse us & wasn't continue to occupy part of our country. any other so-called nato allies gonna help us do something about that?

no one here is sucking putin's cock & in fact, we're the ones taking a principled stance against him by not accepting the same belligerent shit from the so-called _good guys_.

the idea of _the_ bad guys is naïve in a world where half of europe is providing material & diplomatic support for a genocide, including, to the dismay of many of us, ireland. all superpowers are dangerous & they've escalated us into a world where there is nothing to be done about russia...

"Ireland would think differently about Russia if they were where Estonia is!". Yeah probably. Different things are different. I don't think Poland worries much about the good Friday agreement to be honest.

He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

I was explaining this to someone else but, people who use AI Keep thinking it makes them "just as creative" as a real artist.
But they haven't even cultivated their IMAGINATIONS.
They don't even have the well of *ideas* to pull from
Even just THINKING CREATIVELY is a skill you need to develop

Yes, this is good . Hits several crucial notes. A concerted effort is underway to redefine terms so that Epstein associates are assumed innocent as long as they didn't personally abuse any underage victims. No. If you were in Epstein's circle, you KNEW, and you - at best - turned a blind eye.
This is a great piece. It’s the most basic of questions.
Why Did So Many People in Epstein’s Circle Look the Other Way?
First of all, in order to ask questions about the young women he preyed on, they’d need to see them as people.

This small painting is in the Dublin National Gallery. To us it appears provocative with those bashful ‘come to bed eyes’. In the past it would have been described as a study for St Sebastian. It’s by Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641). It’s clear from the painstaking work it was a labour of love.

British journalists failing to understand that Ireland won't fire unprovoked on a "suspicious ship" because that would be a criminal act and our military doesn't make a name for itself by shooting people who pose no threat to them in the back.
Despite these high stakes, Ireland has no dedicated intelligence agency, just four working navy vessels and the smallest defence budget in the EU. In fact, the only thing the Irish navy can do when it spots a suspicious ship lurking is say “hello”.

Graham Linehan is now a convicted criminal. The article does not mention that the victim was a minor at the time. The language Linehan used towards a minor is deeply disturbing & offensive.
Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been cleared of harassing a transgender activist on social media but found guilty of criminal damage of their mobile phone outside a conference in London last year

Graham Linehan cleared of harassment but convicted of damaging transgender activist’s phone
The court ruled Linehan’s social media posts did not amount to harassment, but he was found guilty of knocking the activist’s phone to the ground outside a London event.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.
