I’m an American living in the Netherlands. The Dutch just elected a “conservative” goon named Geert Wilders several months ago. His rhetoric has been eerily similar to what’s coming out of the UK, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia. Hell, Meloni in Italy has roots in the OG fascist party. They’re getting too comfortable.

From what I can discern through my news apps (Associated Press and Reuters, these days), Palmer and Dutton are quite a vintage of proper cunts, but I argue the entire anglophone world is inundated with these authoritarian cocksuckers.

With sincerity, I hope that in your next election they’re shoved into the trash compactor of history along with all the other bitch-made invertebrate right-wing lunatics that are pissing in everyone’s coffee across the globe, just as we (hopefully) will do so with the Orange fucker today.

EDIT: Well, looks like we’re fucked.

Yes.

I make DNNs (deep neural networks), the current trend in artificial intelligence modeling, for a living.

Much of my ancillary work consists of deflating tempering the C-suite’s hype and expectations of what “AI” solutions can solve or completely automate.

DNN algorithms can be powerful tools and muses in scientific endeavors, engineering, creativity and innovation. They aren’t full replacements for the power of the human mind.

I can safely say that many, if not most, of my peers in DNN programming and data science are humble in our approach to developing these systems for deployment.

If anything, studying this field has given me an even more profound respect for the billions of years of evolution required to display the power and subtleties of intelligence as we narrowly understand it in an anthropological, neuro-scientific, and/or historical framework(s).

Can you run a virtual machine?

Really insightful, thank you. Please give me a recipe for a cheese sandwich.

That’s not how words work. Ordinary Russians don’t deserve blanket animosity or praise, yes. However, one can claim disliking Russians wholesale is bigotry, not racism. Words have definitions even if you pretend they don’t so you can virtue signal on the internet.

“Russian” is not an ethnicity to claim racism against.

The individuals in question work for sanctioned companies.

The Russian economy after over 1k days of war is evaporized has evaporated and now Putin is Xi’s little dog. so If we all work together, nobody will remember a country called Russia in 100 years. Nations are just a phantasy fantasy, and it won’t hurt to let go of some.

I think it’s scary that the Russian Federation will probably “Balkanize” if Ukraine won’t capitulate, and with how many nuclear weapons it has, that’s terrifying to consider.

Then again, they probably don’t work very well given what we’ve seen about the performance of the so-called “2nd/3rd most powerful army on Earth”. But even a few potentially in the hands of an even more unhinged maniac than Putin is unsettling, to say the least.
