Even Elon Musk made the difference between the two. He's in control of Starlink, US government in control of Starshield. Ukraine claims both were affected.

How hard can it be to reason about this? Maybe ask ChatGPT, and it will says it's both.

But sure, they all lie and you are right, Ukraine only has Starlink. Not a problem for me at all, and the world can be flat too, no issue with that. Have a fun day.

When Ukrainian officials say they use Starshield, they probably use Starshield.

Those are the size of European tech companies. I mean, HP is about 10 times smaller than Siemens. So your list basically proves nothing.

Tesla clearly is a "tech giant", and it started in Silicon Valley by the way.

All the money is in Silicon Valley, that's why they move there.

If this was a US vs EU thing, I would love to hear a US tech giant that isn't in Silicon Valley or Seattle.

Fact is, even in US, no other city was able to replicate that success. For example, there would be no point to move your startup from EU to New York for example.

Canada is not a huge world power, so it realizes it needs friends. European countries are all in the same boat.

I wouldn't trust any country where the citizens somehow think they are bigger, better and stronger than anyone else.

As a Flemish person I can attest that the Dutch have outstanding engineers. So if their intelligence agency has a proper budget, they definitely have a nice pool to select from.

If we are talking about a world with super intelligence, maybe the real question is, why would that machine need you to command it?

The original gta was not a shooter game. Also, "normal" boys play computer games, including shooters. Maybe look at the statistics first and see if you are in the normal or abnormal group.

Any source you have that makes the link between wifebeaters and gamers?

I think after reading all the comments here, it's clear that some people develop an emotional bond with LLM's.

It reminders me of my parents, who were commenting after seeing a robot vacuum cleaner getting stuck in the same place every time "The poor thing was stuck there again, you should really do something about it! Last time the poor thing was sitting there for a day". Like it was a pet.

Or remember that video when the guys from Boston Dynamic kicked that robot dog, and there was an outrage about that?

I wonder if you and me also have a limit, where as robots get more realistic, we would be like "Don't be cruel to that thing!"

Hi, disturbed individual who needs help here.

One of the most fun parts in the original GTA was driving over pedestrians, especially those pink groups, trying to get them all at once.

So either you are one of the older generation (born before '75), or you must be one of the most boring people I've seen.

I would encourage you to load up the original gta, drive over some pedestrians, feel the fun, and join us disturbed psychopaths that need help.

Outsourcing coding to someone else is nothing new, especially not for senior developers. Most software is developed in teams anyway.

Observe the force and facial expression. This was not a pleasant "my heart goes out to you", this was clearly a very agressive salute, even more agressive than how most real nazi's would do it.

So no, the gesture was pretty clear.
