This is useful for dispelling the hype around ChatGPT and for demonstrating the limits of general purpose LLMs.
But that's about it. This is not a "win" for old school game engines vs new ones. Stockfish uses deep reinforcement learning and is one of the strongest chess engines in the world.
A culture that obsoletes electronics every couple of years and enshittifies services every couple of other years cannot be seriously talking about MMIs/BCIs.
Very interesting, but also very lazy reporting. They didn't ask Ukrainian-American Orthodox for example what they think. Ciril's "holy war" screetches are insane, when Ukraine is also an Orthodox country.
There are thousands upon thousands of Orthodox Christians in the US, yet the only non-Russian-aligned perspective in the whole article is this:
Elissa Bjeletich Davis, a former Protestant who now belongs to the Greek Orthodox Church in Austin, is a Sunday school teacher and has her own podcast.

Hey, yanks, until your centre right party (the Democrats) is willing to go all in and run candidates at all levels of government on the slogan of "The Largest Downward Transfer of Wealth in American History", your far right party (the Republicans) will keep repeating this.

A lot of anti-latino racism really boils down to colonial anti-indigenous racism. The fascists are usually fine with white latinos, but something really stirs in them when it's about mestizos, i.e. people whose family tree includes indigenous ancestry. Think of the stereotype of the Latin American gangster, the Mexican cartel rabid dog, like the ones in Breaking Bad. What do they look like? They never look like Ricky Martin, now, do they?
Hey Americans, just establish a national identity document already. Belgium, Spain, Germany, Greece and other European countries that are definitely not tyrannies have them. It will fix so many of your problems.
I've heard the accusation that she's a Russian asset, but Iranian? First time I've ever heard that one.
