Yes, never trust the perfidious chinamen or their evil LLMs. They are on another level of evil than our glorious and noble western LLMs that are used to bomb schools.

They were able to bribe those around Maduro and they gave him up. Thats why it went well. Anytime we can bribe our way to victory, it usually works.

When we can't (Iran), well, it starts looking like they have zero clue what they are doing.

> have far more experiences than you.

Rich people have lots of experiences. They do not know what normal life is like.

> How many is "plenty of people" and what percent versus those of us who get results in minutes.

I know entire neighborhoods where people won't even call the police because they either won't do anything anyway or they will harass and find a way to fuck over the person who called. I know how cops treat brown people versus whites. I know how they will treat you if you have money and I know how they will treat you if you don't.

The people who supposedly get results in minutes are the minority.

> I am NOT the outlier. My stories are the stories of my neighbors and everyone I know.

This is a meaningless statement. I can say the exact same thing.

> My stories are from what's in front of me and not random, anonymous internet posts.

You are the random internet post to everyone else but you, mate. Try not to be so solipsistic.

You don't know what normal life is in the US.

> they discovered my back door open and, within minutes, caught the person who stole something.

Plenty of people can tell you about the cops never bothering to show up to a call, or showing up hours later and shrugging. The fact that this supposedly happened to you is the outlier.

It was total war though, and they were the aggressors who had slaughtered millions of civilians previously. The Germans and Japanese got what they deserved.

Iran and their people are not the aggressors here. They do not deserve it.

Quick question, who were the aggressors in that war? What had they done previously that might have warranted it?

What about the human rights abuses by the democratic regime of ISUS? Do we deserve some war crimes too?

Deepseek, Kimi, GLM have comparable quality to GPT for this purpose. More likely they are lying about it to discredit real opposition to data center expansion.

Where is this? Because I live in an area with what is considered one of the best public transit systems in the US and even then the bus system is iffy at the edges of the metro area. I am curious to see your bus schedule.

You seriously can't expect us westerners to listen to the Chinese people about their government. How can we trust them, they are in a police state with the most imprisoned people, have oppressed, immiserated, and genocided minorities for decades, selectively enforce law for the elite, and are initiating wars of aggression across the globe. You can't trust anything coming out of a brutal regime like that.

Err, wait a minute...

This chain has been using expropriate, not extract. Not sure why you mentioned that.

Your story doesn't really relate. I get what you are saying, but your org wasn't copyrighted under you, nor did you expect any monetary returns on it. They stole copyrighted work without permission.

Define "much worse". I use DS v4, GLM, and some Kimi with omp personally, and have Cursor with latest Claude and GPT models at work. I notice zero difference in the work for my workflow between Opus and DS.

Really confused how people make these claims. Are you just basing this off benchmarks or your own personal work? Are you an experienced dev or just doing vibe coding?

Don't forget they will celebrate any prison guards caught on video facilitating said dog rape as national heroes. Even rioting to make sure they are released from captivity. Truly a civilized society.

Prices just shot up over a dollar nationally and no one is burning anything down.

The real "let them eat cake" is the biggest polluters externalizing the costs of that pollution down to the people, all while the state is dismantling the EPA and clean energy.

Imagine if we had real public transportation across the nation. Less pollution AND cheaper for the average person. Wonder why that isn't happening.

How do you feel about Americans who go serve in the IDF, and avoid serving in the US military, and then come back to the US?

The war was despicable. The napalming of children was despicable. The mass rape and murder of children and women at My Lai was despicable.

What she did was not that.
