Sure, in Europe we don't because we already have databases of all citizens, also recording attributes like race, skin color, religious affiliation or political leaning in a database is highly illegal, both for the government and for private use.

Of course it is, the USA is under the control of a petty toddler that demands absolute loyalty, not to the country, but him personally.

Like the USA, I don't think Russia codifies treaties into law. Like in the USA, treaties for Russia are mere suggestions used as a geopolitical tool until inconvenient.

Depends on the language. Gemini and Claude are far superior when it comes to C# for instance, compared to anything that OAI offers.

"Satan" as in the original meaning of the word "adversary of god". They are not calling you Satan as a way to say evil, but as a way to say "adversary of our faith".

Thought traces are indeed not an accurate representation of what models actually do. If you ask an AI model to add two values it will do so, then in the next prompt ask it to explain the algorithm it used, it will regurgitate that it used some standard textbook method, whilst in reality it used a completely different algorithm. Thinking LLMs don't record the neural pathways they used.

For that you would need Gemini Ultra

In the case of the military I'd say the real reason is political. After the fall of the Berlin wall, Europe collectively agreed (knowingly or not) that war is now a thing of the past and the goal should be the complete dismantling of militaries worldwide, starting with Europe. Lead by example, etc.

To be fair most self-proclaimed MAGA Christians in the USA are heretics. So this is not really surprising.

This is of course fine, if you intend to never travel internationally. Not defending any one, Ofcom is terrible just like 4chan.

This is veiled speak for "No one wants to work for us, so we need to contact rejected applicants to fill positions".

I use AI for work, but not agentic, at most per method/function using GitHub CoPilot (which has Grok on it).

Grok is at best useful for commenting code.

Same, I earn 60K as a senior, but I would never accept a 200K+ position at xAI.
