I had to read that title several times until I saw the URL.

War crimes are violations of laws of war, right? And laws only work when you can enforce them. Who's gonna do that?

a quick fyi: in a total war everything is a valid military target, because economy backs up the military, and everything is economy.

They ran out of free information on the internet. They can't steal it just like that anymore because the providers are now aware of the value they could provide and could sue the now trillion dollars companies for stealing the data.

They didn't bother when it was a non-profit sponsored by Elon Musk.

I don't understand why can't they donate the books somewhere. Even if they don't want to share the scans, why not give up the books?

Letting russians take the Crimea without any consequences in 2014 is what led the world to all of this. I dare to say, ALL of it, not just the war in Ukraine.

Letting them do even more horrible lawlessness will only lead to worse outcomes.

What is a bad idea? Defend yourself against an unprovoked military aggression?

Ukraine is the biggest country on European continent. It has the most capable military in Europe right now. And it's backed by Europe economically. Saying that Russia can't defeat them is not the insult you think it is. If Russia mobilized 1M people and went full on war in a month, they'd easily take over the Baltics, took half of Poland and bombed the F out of Germany and France. They'd lose eventually if Europe woke up from its delusions, but they definitely can take over most of Eastern Europe.

As a Ukrainian, I can tell you that it's not as bad as you imagine, and it's much worse than you think. The war is very grim and gruesome but you guys will adapt to it quickly after the initial shock. Articles like this are just trying to minimize that shock (it won't help).

They never mean it, it's a threatening tactics. Their children live in western countries and their money is there. They wouldn't allow nuking western countries just like that. ESPECIALLY if they know they attacked first. Even their own doctrine doesn't allow using nukes for anything except the direct external threat to their statehood.

Dude, you have no idea about the modern warfare. The only country Russia is actually afraid of is the USA. And nobody except probably the USA or maybe Turkey is even remotely ready for modern war. Russia is having "military operation" right now. If they start the "war".

Second of all, the "much smaller neighbour" is any European country to them. Ukraine is the biggest country on European continent if we include the occupied territory. And it's actually has the most capable armed forces military-wise. Russia took over 116k sq km of Ukraine. All three Baltic states are 175k sq km combined and they literally can't defend themselves in case USA decides to withdraw.

And last but not the least, Russia's war is irrational. It makes no sense from any rational viewpoint. So relying on common sense in this case is wrong. You need to understand russian ideology and Putin's specifically.

If it's 90 degrees Celcius, I don't think you could sit there for an hour. If it's 90 american degrees, what kind of sauna is that?

There won't ever be an "all out war" of nuclear states with each other. Only via proxies.

There are no facts and reality when the questions are "Closing the borders may be necessary to preserve a country's cultural identity" and "Those who have money should be able to send it abroad without asking the government's permission", etc.

It's a matter of opinion and has nothing to do with "facts".

The bias creeps in when they pick what sources go into the dataset. The second biggest factor is RLHF because that's the point of it. All LLM providers aim to make models "safe" and safety in our modern discourse means not expressing ideas that contradict the "left ideology".

Yeah, and who picks the sources?

Most of the data on the internet is UGC, and most of the time it's VERY right-leaning. It was one of the reasons OpenAI was "afraid" to release GPT-2: because it produced results that people in Silicon Valley didn't like.

I remember when Microsoft released the first proto-LLM and users always steered to being a nazi.
