Yemen is criticizing Vietnam?

I see, thanks

Does this mean those companies' operations in the region, or globally?

source?

I remember that....it's a shame people couldn't just accept RMS isn't perfect. Always looking for any reason to defend him

cybercracker

hahaha I'm using that from now on

That sub is normally trash, true. But, there's another thread about this topic that's a bit better.

distro I use (void linux)

How do you like that compared to other distros?

To be fair, there was another thread discussing the same topic, and many people were calling out the vaxry, and pointing out the amount of brigading going on. Once any topic like this is brought up, the worst type of people come out......

"we must stop letting Russia define the terms of the Ukraine crisis"

Isn't the west defining the terms when it backed a coup that lead to the rise of fascism, the glorification of Bandera, and the murder of civilians in eastern ukraine.

"It is important to recall, in this regard, that five of the eight members of the Horkheimer circle had worked as analysts and propagandists for the U.S. government and national security state, which “had a vested interest in the continuing loyalty of the Frankfurt School because a number of its members were working on sensitive government research projects.”

I had read a little in the past about how the CIA funded literary magazines (like the paris review) in order to spread western ideology globally in opposition to the ussr.

This is along the same line of thought, the us and corporate backers funding anticommunist left philosophers to focus on everything besides material analysis and class struggle. I knew a little bit about this before reading this article, but some of the specifics are really damning. The story of Walter Benjamin is heartbreaking.

As for what I think, even if this is true and the AI is sentient, I look at it like I do every other scientific advancement under capitalism: something that is potentially really useful will be taken advantage of by all of the wrong people
