A Kaleidoscope never claimed to be an agent. At least not the one I had in my childhood. But, of course, its manufacturer sold the real thing, a Kaleidoscope, to children. So what sells OpenAI to whom?

Yes, but how do we know, GPT-3 not just copy/pasted someones anglistics homework? By the way, it claims to be a poet.The term has its origin in the Greek poiētēs, from poein, poiein "to make, create, compose," which implies a

Of course, admiring German classic is something of a necessary prerequisite for Chinese career bigwigs.Must have something to do with Hegel and Marx.

Let's see what Google translate has to offer: "America, you have it better than our continent, the old one Have no decayed locks and no basalts. Don't bother you inside At living time Useless memory and futile quarrel."

Yes, but you probably aren't Putin, you probably aren't Russian and you are probably powerless in a geostrategical or any other meaningfull sense. Like most people on this planet. Which makes a big difference for thinking. And as

>>Nukes were present in 1990, there was no opportunity. Yes, but doesn't that imply, today also nobody can 'strangulate' Russia? The Russians were weaker then, why would the West do it now, when the Russians are stronge

Yes, because we all know what happens when the most competent nations try to topple regimes the cheap way with the help of The Company and its friends like say '53 in Teheran. In the end you have paranoid rulers that try to secure the

This. Imagine if Gatling had invented his multi-barreled, rotary rifle a few years earlier. Too bad his sales reps couldn't demonstrate its usefullness and superiority sooner. Say, used by the National Guard against striking miners in

Now perhaps you understand why the Russians are a little bit obsessed about their losses at our last tour to Moscow. I already said, their history breeds and select paranoia. So to say, they lived Grove's Motto long ago, only the paran
