just called ai "the mediocrity machine" in a meeting and a tech bro is twitching so hard he can't even plug this into the mediocrity machine so it can tell him how to respond

@ElleGray AI is the average of everything it learns on, so it will always be average.

I have lost count of how many times, Russian media have claimed the sanctions were not working. But here is the hard truth:

The state owned energy company Gazprom had a net profit of USD 12,900,000,000 in 2022.

In 2023 the same company suffered a net loss of USD 6,900,000,000 — its first loss in 20 years.

Putin will lose this war.

MaybeMyMonkeys ,

@randahl you under estimate how much losses Putin is willing to put Russia’s economy and citizens through. They aren’t Stone Age yet.

Is it a good idea for Ukraine to bomb Russian oil refineries?

@anderspuck has a new analysis, with excellent pionts including this one:

“The Americans have to learn, that if you are not actually providing weapons to help another country win a war, you also do not get a say in how they fight the war.”

Spot on!

According to the WaPo: “Donald Trump has privately said he could end Russia’s war in Ukraine by pressuring Ukraine to…cede Crimea and the Donbas border region to Russia.” Did we learn nothing from WWII and the danger of appeasement? Give an inch, he'll take it all.

@rbreich after Trump delivers, he will fall out a window in the Whitehouse

“CDs are cool again!”

The compact disc was introduced in 1982 and became in 1988 the most popular audio format. CD sales continued to grow until they peaked in 2002.

In 2003 CD sales began to decline and have been rapidly falling ever since. By 2017, CD sales had reached the same level as 1985!

Digital streaming has made it easy to instantly enjoy new music from around the world. It’s fast. It’s convenient. It’s one of the best ways for artists to get their music discovered.

But it’s unfortunately not really profitable.

2021 marked the first increase in new CD sales in 17 years! Artists have embraced CDs as a physical representation of their music, drawing in new collectors and fans. CDs have experienced a remarkable comeback, reaffirming their position as a timeless and treasured format in the music industry.

Some European politicians claim, we are not at war with Russia. But clearly, Russia is at war with us.

MaybeMyMonkeys ,

@randahl Yes, we are at war. Putin is nothing without enemies. If they don’t exist, he creates them, and always shoots first.

I specifically requested that 2024 not be a year when "things happen" I have had enough of "things" for the foreseeable future. This is exactly the kind of thing that is NOT doing what I asked.

Serious question: Why are white people so afraid of becoming a minority? Does America treat minorities badly or something?

MaybeMyMonkeys ,

@Strandjunker absolutely. Being on top means doing everything necessary to stay on top because that is fair to the people on top. Everyone else needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
