It is not just about artists. It is about every kind of intellectual work: scientific research, essay, fiction, painting, software, etc - the list goes on..

Indeed. If I take somebody's work, transform it somewhat and sell it, I should pay royalties (unless the author explicitly allowed me to do so). That is exactly the case.

Neither morale nor any understanding of international war rule treaties.

AI overall is the ultimate piracy crime. I wonder what a token cost would be if AI companies were to pay royalties to every author who made their business even possible.

Unintentional double tap, followed by highest level accusations of Iran bombing its own school with Tomahawk missiles bought somewhere, sounds very plausible.

> Im not even sure this should be prosecuted as a war crime since Iran does not participate in the international law of armed conflict. Wow. International treaties do not free you of your obligations on the basis of other side of war com

There's no need in a new artificial language. If there was a need, humans could easily invent one without any LLM assistance, just like we invented Esperanto. But there is none. BTW, English is neither the first nor the last internatio

>illegally operating against sanctions The only legal sanctions on Earth are those imposed by UN Security Council. All the rest is just an agressive action. The Western sanctions themselves are not legal in any way.

Particularly, Europe is constantly trying to seize Russian ships. Re: flattening Moscow and Petersburg: all "potential" threats are really pathetic.

I'm writing this reply from an AuroraOS phone (a descendant of Sailfish OS). Yes, it is quite hard to get a non-duopoly smartphone..

Manpower is no longer the main thing in war since invention of swords and shields. Money and weapons are crucial.

>only has to beat people up Not just that. A 1b block has to supply it with a huge constant supply of weapons and money, and intelligence, and also some manpower as well.

by sedan_baklazhan 8mo ago
NATO is involved by both weapons and money. These are main things that let a war go on. Ukraine's role is a limited and minor one: providing manpower. (NATO also provides some manpower, BTW).

So, the entire NATO is proud to loose land to Russia slowly?
16.
by sedan_baklazhan 8mo ago
So Russia has catastrophic losses yet there's no mobilization. Ukraine is said to loose very few men, yet they have to beat people on streets to mobilize them. Meanwhile, Russian borders are open.

by sedan_baklazhan 8mo ago
1. Ukraine is merely a manforce provider. NATO does everything else. 2. Loosing land is pure math. About 500 sq.km per month, often more. Ukrainian advances remain to be an illusion.

by sedan_baklazhan 8mo ago
If Russia looses 35000 a month, why does Ukraine: a) Loose land and cities constantly b) Mobilize people brutally on streets c) Keep its bordera closed for men No, in such situation it should be reversed.

The Western block is indeed fighting with Russia using Ukraine as a proxy/protectorate. Whats more, the Western block also openly states that.

An easy way to dismiss an opinion you do not like. Why exactly are you calling me a troll?

They were aided and funded as much as the NATO block could and still can do that.
22.
by sedan_baklazhan 8mo ago
Let me remind you of three things: 1) This weaker neighbor is aided and funded by a block of countries with a total population of 1b, 6 times that of Russia. 2) The same block is doing all it can to crash the Russian economy. 3) Nevertheles

This is a bad explanation (or a non-explanation). 1. Why exactly life is attempting to build complex structures? 2. Why exactly life is evolving from primitive replicative molecules to more complex structures (which molecules on themselves

I wouldn't be surprised if in (n hundreds/thousands years) we find out that copying consciousness if fundamentally impossible (just like it's fundamentally impossible to copy an elementary particle).

"Rules-based international world order" consists of just two rules: 1. The Western countries (basically meaning USA makes the decision) may attack any country. 2. Other countries may not defend themselves nor attack any country. I

Well, "Venezuela has stolen American oil which is in Venezuela". Isn't that a justification?!

by sedan_baklazhan 9mo ago
That easily makes a Nobel Peace Prize. An attack on Iran will make it into the world's first Double Nobel Peace Prize. Now, it's also very important to even further unite the entire world against Russian agressive war.

by sedan_baklazhan 9mo ago
Actually Trump has stated very clearly that Venezuela has "stolen American oil which resides in Venezuela".
29.
by sedan_baklazhan 9mo ago
It is definitely not Russia unprovokenly and illegibly attacking its neighbor, so why even care?

I would guess that all people who ever lived on Earth have traveled many light years already on their bare feet. What use is this "statistics" for?
