Europe isn't planning for peace - UnHerd
#geopolitics #imperialism #war
what on the surface appears to be a clash between Europe and the US may actually be, in a more fundamental sense, a struggle between different factions of the US empire — and, to a large degree, within the US establishment itself — waged through European proxies. After all, many of today’s European leaders have strong connections to these networks.

LONDON (Reuters) - Finland will definitely be part of any 'coalition of the willing' that could help support Ukraine's security, Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen told Britain's Times Radio on Wednesday.BYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
Take a moment to tell the Prime Minister what you think of his idea that the problem with the British economy is that we're too generous to disabled people.

Today, I realized another risk of AI that I hadn't considered before, namely as a Dunning-Kruger amplifier.
At the institute, I regularly have contact with people (*) who think they have refuted the theory of relativity or solved other big physical problems.
Usually, these “solutions” are simply meaningless sentences that sound like physics, but are not physics.

(*) So far only men.
#AI #DunningKruger #physics #relativity #LLM
Often they have become so bogged down in their pseudo theories that it is almost impossible to have a meaningful discussion with them.
Sometimes you can try and present a well-reasoned objection. Whether the other side will get it, is a different question.
Recently, I had the case that the person had “discussed” their theory with an AI / LLM beforehand and, due to “praise” from the language model, was convinced that they *could not be wrong*.
