Right, and Russia has already won the war it started four years ago but all of war videos are SFX. For fucks sake go find someone more human to idolize won't you, not someone who wants to leech on the world by living until 150. That is so pathetic.

Trying to invade, failing and then pretending like you are succeeding is even worse.

The idiot, even after working in the hospitality sector, does not realise that this whole sector depends on the immigrants, among others. He is probably the kind of idiot that goes to a curry house after an anti-immigrant march.

"In a world where a growing number of billionaires are lashing out against philanthropy,"

Except they are not, they are quite happy to use "charities" for agenda pushing at best, money laundering and tax evasion at worst and call it philanthropy.

I mean you can just call her a "very good friend"? Or "one of my best friends". I am sure this will have a positive impact on your real wive's psychology too if you are married.

They are not the automated from 0 to 100 coders that some people claim them to be. But they are quite capable, definitely much more capable than what anyone could have imagined ten years ago. Given well defined problems they can excel at even relatively complex tasks. I pointed Claude at a latex file of a somewhat complicated nonparametric statistical estimate calculation to look for any mistakes and it was actually able to find some. I then pointed it at a code that replicates the calculations and it was also able to correctly identify some issues with the code. I think this is the way one should use LLMs, not let it loose on coding tasks. In the former way you won't even be able to burn through your first tier account quota where as in the latter the LLM will likely end up getting in weird loops burning tokens like there is no tomorrow. Also this method of sane usage of LLMs is much more suitable for open local LLMs. I don't think there is any doubt anymore that LLMs can be very useful tools, not just for doing stuff but learning it too. People should move past the stage of invalid criticisms like "they are just stochastic parrots" and move to more serious matters like environmental impact, greedy fucking CEOs pretending LLMs are replacements for humans, degredation of skills, getting lazy at checking AI code, ethics of capitalizing on collective human knowledge and the unsustainable AI bubble that tech companies are pushing for.

not to forget alot of scientists and artist for whom being in a VIP boys club and feeling special is apparently more important than being a decent human.

It will only be deanonymised for UK citizens though (and any other country that applies some sort of ID verification). Any Russian LLM bot can still spread lies in the internet claiming to be from the UK so no problem solved there.

Worst yet, today it is deanonymisation "because think of the children", tomorrow it is putting people who say "Free palestine" in social media to prison.

I imagine the analogy is more nuanced than that. It is more like politicians promising their constituents a mutually respectful relation based on consent, then drugging them so that they can rape their constituents without them noticing while the billionaires watch and jerk off to that.

It goes without saying that this is just an analogy and the psychological effects of what is being done here is no where near a rape but we are all adults here and can infer that I think.

Neither credit cards nor cellphones can not be used for the particular kind of oppression mentioned in my post definitely not en masse. They definitely can not be as efficient as ID verification for any kind of oppression. So cellphones and credit cards actually add some value to your life while NOT being very efficient oppression tools. ID verification won't add anything to your life while harboring capacity for being a very efficient oppression tool. Bad apps in cellphones can violate alot of aspects of your privacy but still not nearly as efficient as a goverment having direct access to online activity tied to a digital ID. So your examples aren't really relevant.
