“And by the way, though, part of this is, this incident is in the training data for future models. Future models are going to observe what happened here. And that will affect how they think of themselves and how they relate to other people.”

Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth:
December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia.
February 2014, Russia invades and subsequently annexes Crimea, President Obama does next to nothing. War through weakness.
July 2019, Trump admin withholds $250 million in military aid to Ukraine to apply pressure to investigate alleged corruption by Hunter and Joe Biden.
February 2022, Russia invades a weakened Ukraine, world expects Zelenskyy to flee and Kyiv to fall within days. Ukrainians fight bravely for 3+ years, inflict hundreds of thousands of casualties on Russian army, weaken Putin politically.
U.S. has sent ~$70 billion in outdated military equipment to Ukraine since start of war, providing opportunity for U.S. military to modernize its weaponry. We’ve sent an additional $30+ billion in budget support, $75 billion in ancillary appropriations related to war.
~50,000 Ukrainians have died defending their homeland, protecting U.S. and Western interests in the process. Meanwhile, the U.S. President and V.P. are calling democratically-elected Zelenskyy a dictator and berating him in Oval Office in pursuit of a financial payoff.
The U.S. should be thanking Ukrainians, who have fought for our common interests with only modest financial support from a country with a ~$30 trillion GDP.
America can and will reclaim its backbone again soon, with better policy and messaging from common sense moderates.
Slava Ukraina.
This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger was head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020. Really worth watching.
Man sits by me on train.
MAN: Loads of psychopaths around here
ME: Really?
MAN: Loads mate
ME: How'd you know?
MAN: There's signs aren't there?
ME: I guess?
MAN: I love them
(47 minutes of awkward silence.)
Man leaves train, he has a bike. I realise he was saying 'cycle paths'.
Arvopohjaista realismia kenties tämäkin. Tuetaan Ukrainaa, kunhan tukeen ei sisälly mitään seksuaalikonservatiivisia arvoja horjuttavaa. Kiinnostava linjaus, @VilleTavio. Arvoilla on merkitystä. #ulkopolitiikka
Hei Antti, tosi hyvä, jos aiotte vaatia ihmisoikeuksien parempaa huomioimista käännytyslain jatkotyöstössä.
Parhaassa tapauksessa se voi pelastaa jonkun ihmisparan hengen.
Mutta ongelmana on, että perustuslakivaliokunnan lausuntoa se ei enää muuta.
Selitän:

That so many people buy into this reflects:
(i) how we as a country are now so far removed from manufacturing that we understand so little of it (as demonstrated here and many similar replies), and
(ii) the difference between ideas and execution.
Kari Enqvist antaa pakkopuheelle kyytiä erinomaisessa kolumnissaan ja hyvä niin.
Tässä sivutaan ehkä hiukan yllättäen myös Gazan sotaa. Politiikka, myös kv-politiikka, on tosiaan valintoja, vaikka monesti sielläkin piiloudutaan pakkopuheen taakse.

Israel has squandered a lot of global credibility when it gets to the point where Jeffrey Goldberg is letting takes like this see the light of day.
