Iran was not in compliance with anything and was so antisemitic it hosted an international conference on holocaust denial. Khamenei himself literally claimed Covid was black magic caused by Jews creating a satanic pact with demons.
And it will never trust the USA again, having been attacked while in the middle of negotiations
What are you blathering on about? It's embarassing to see you at +5 insightful. From the moment the regime seized power it's been at war with the US. It's violated every agreement it's ever made with the west and openly pursued its stated goal of trying to exterminate the Jews before turning its eye to destroying America. They never "trusted" America, they just knew some American leaders were either unbelievable suckers or actively supportive of their regime due to anti-western radicalism.
As for a million troops to defend itself the IRGC is estimated at maybe 600K absolute maximum combat capable personnel, in a country of ~93 million people about 80% of which absolutely despise the IRGC to the point 30,000+ of them accepted the risk of being murdered to take to the streets in protest.
That's just plain gaslighting. Every major western city has been filled with two groups of protestors for the past month: Iranians desperately calling for more international intervention to end the mass slaughter and decades of global terror from the Islamic Republic, and migrants + white westerners waving pictures of Khamenei and hezbollah flags screaming "hands off Iran".
There's been TONS of people taking the regime's side.
The only one who's spoiled here is you. Just because I bought something 10 years ago doesn't mean it isn't still mine and I don't have a right to use it. You don't want to host master servers anymore? Fine. But you aren't allowed to stop me from doing it to use my own product that I paid for.
You answered your own question, quisling: They disclose before purchase that the game will have a hard sunset of 10 years when the car license expires. See? That wasn't so difficult, was it?
Simple: Enforce existing basic contract and property law that we've had for centuries throughout the west.
Is it a "license" and therefore the company retains total control of the product? Fine. There must be a full meeting of the minds and adequate consideration. The term of this license must be clear up front. You are 100% responsible for ensuring all maintenance and up-keep for the duration of that "license".
Is it "property"? Fine. The property must be fit for purpose, not defective, and if you actively sabotage or destroy or you get charged with theft and destruction of property.
No more flip flopping whenever the other is more convenient.
You mean the billions that are contractually required to go straight to American companies, as opposed to the billions in cold hard cash given to Arab dictators to build palaces, fund terrorism, and buy off American universities?
Sure thing buddy. People calling you an antisemite are obviously part of an organized and evil plot powered by evil jew gold. It has nothing to do with the fact you're out here claiming everyone who isn't fanatically anti-israel must be part of an organized and evil plot powered by evil jew gold.
Ah yes the classic "jew gold" trope. Everybody who doesn't participate in your judenhass antisemitismus "antizionism" must be under the sway of the evil jew gold. It can't possibly be that frothing at the mouth over one of the smallest domestic lobby groups in the US out of an assumption that Israel absolutely positively must be involved in every single nefarious thing happening in the world is a sign someone just hates jews.
Exactly. This has absolutely nothing to do with AI and everything to do with IA. The New York Times, Guardian, BBC, and their ilk are the most prolific retconners and memory holers out there. They're tired of people using archives to show patterns of disinformation so consistent that it can't be anything but malice.
That ship has pretty much sailed when it comes to de facto state owned media like in Canada.
It's already really good for NPCs in videogames. It's such a limited context window and hallucinations aren't a concern.
Other way around. They literally want to abolish all law enforcement while surrounding themselves with private security. That's what they've done everywhere they've been able to seize power. The dishonesty is when they claim otherwise. It's called a Motte and Bailey.
In fact, often, their scores are exactly opposite of what most everyone else thinks about a movie/show.
Personally I find they're so consistently awful in their opinions that they're actually a useful barometer, just in reverse. The more they hate something, and the more audiences love it in contrast, the better the movie is likely to be.
You just have to remember these are postmodernists. The ugliness is the point. They go out of their way to embrace and promote things which are cruel, ugly, or otherwise awful as a way to prove their loyalty to their movement and to demoralize everyone else. Yuri Bezmenov explained the process thoroughly after he defected from the KGB.
