UN is a joke that should be dismantled. Its primary function apparently is to pass anti Israel resolutions and to have various dictators jerk each other off while everyone else has to tolerate it Fuck UN

Only if you have something that someone else needs, such as oil. Without that, nobody will bother.

Given how corruption usually works, they probably sold them to some even worse third-world country and deposited the resulting money in a private Swiss bank account.

No, that's actually the only correct interpretation of those words in English. If someone's actions caused the leaking to stop, then a native English speaker would say, "After Half a Decade, the Russian Space Station Segment Leaks Are Fixed" or "... Leaks Have Been Stopped/Fixed". (Or they would avoid passive voice and explicitly say who stopped it.)

Saying that something stopped is different from saying that something was stopped. That helping verb indicates that there is another actor other than the leak who caused the event. Without it, the only correct way to interpret that sentence is that the leak stopped on its own, and that nothing was done to make it stop.

This headline would have caused my newswriting professor's forehead veins to rupture.

They are if you tell them to search for the information.

Sure, but Claude, at least, knows that its knowledge cutoff date is January 2025. It's sometimes lazy and will tell you that current events precede its knowledge, but if you tell it to do a search, it will, and then it will accurately describe what it found. Other times it just automatically searches when it realizes you're asking about something that is too recent to be included in its training data.

It seems strange that other LLMs that have the ability to search the web don't do the same.

He already pardons people and has no clue who they are or what crimes they committed. https://www.bbc.com/news/artic...

He only knows what his handlers tell him.

Now talk about Greenland.

might has right is now the only basis. Once there was some kind of international law, no more. Not since ruzzia invaded Ukraine. Since then what the world has learned is that only physical force has the right, go complain to the UN if you disagree.

why would I go by what trump says? His words have no meaning, we can go by what he does. Taking out Maduro shows that USA still has power, similar to what was done in Iran with the bombing, just a little more specific. Taking out maduro allows the opposition to try and come to power and obviously the US oil miners that were chased out by maduro now will be invited back, hopefully bringing oil prices lower. (hopefully, because I am for anything that reduces ruzzian ability to make money selling oil).

Trump shows that he can do what he wants even if China and Iran and ruzzia are against it and they are against it. Trump gets a few political points, gets some money from oil, gets to control the Western hemisphere. Too bad he hasn't done anything like this where it would really make a difference, in ruzzia.

Another Vietnam situation, lovely.

What does Tim Apple have to do with this?

Obama won the Nobel prize literally for not being George Bush.

Something something Obama. Something something DEI. Something something immigrants.
