Bush didn't care. Dude was an asshole. He tried to drum up support with our allies, and when most of them said no, he just did it anyway.

That said, it was a mistake to warmonger, don't get me wrong.

I don't think the invasion of Iraq can be blamed on the NYT. I think the Bush administration and Al Qaeda get the credit for that one.

However much is necessary to arrive at the truth.

Nobody and no system should be expected to be perfect all the time, I would anticipate some mistakes over a course of decades.

Have you checked for any times they were critical of US foreign policy within the same timeframe?

Eventually, yes, I think it will be. Not yet though, the tech just isn't strong enough atm. But an AI is resistant to the emotional toll, burnout and low pay that a real life therapist has to struggle with. The AI therapist doesn't need a therapist.

Personally though, I think this is going to be one of the first widespread, genuinely revolutionary things LLMs are capable of. Couple more years maybe? It won't be able to handle complex problems, it'll have to flag and refer those cases to a doctor. But basic health maintenance is simpler.

This would be one of the best unpopular opinions posts Lemmy has had yet ... if you had provided any reasons. Without reasons it's just meh though.

"Consistently" and "in-these-specific-cases" are different things.

tbf, discovering Uranus was a lot less deadly before modern icebreaking ships. Age of Sail ships did not do well down there, and the economic incentives of sealing resulted in quite a lot of casualties back in the day. Doing math and peering through telescopes is much safer.

Ah. That's too bad, I think that's a worthwhile topic. His hardware is in the Netherlands if I remember right though, so everything has to comply with EU and Dutch law. Or, gone it goes, by necessity. That would need to be hosted on a different server.

That's kinda funny. It's still a barrier to entry though, as a niche, technical hobby. It's going to get less crap than, say, a news community, which does not require monetary investment and some genuine interest to engage in.

With all due respect, a 3d printing community is going to draw extremely low levels of bullshit.

Other communities are seeing quite a bit of tomfoolery already. Personally, I do not think attracting all internet denizens equally is a sound strategy for healthy long term growth.

Here's a guy named Steve, eating and reviewing one of these humanitarian rations, in case anyone was curious:

And with really good sound quality too, since they're also ASMR vids.

It's not directly politics, of course, but anyone political will probably immediately recognize its value, and even necessity.

Love how concisely he put everything down though, this is a quick read.

Been running this as my background listening for a couple weeks now, and have to admit, I am extremely impressed.

The day-by-day format really puts different parts of the war into perspective, and while he moves too quickly to go into much detail about anything specific, it ends up functioning as an entirely different form of overview from what you get in more traditional studies.

Super cool project overall.

I know we pretty much all hated spez for all the shit he pulled, but a few weeks ago the tone towards reddit itself around here was more neutral. People liked it here on Lemmy a lot better, but people weren't hating on the old place so much.

Recently I'm seeing this huuuuuuuge surge of just pure fucking hatred leveled at the site itself. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

I mean, I was there because I thought it was alright. I hated spez for fucking it up and completely screwing his communities over. But I never hated reddit itself, and I still don't. Otherwise I would've left a lot sooner.

Do you personally hate reddit? If so, why?

With fantasy season starting up here soon, and hoping none of you are in my league, thought I'd share one of my best research sources.

This guy does breakdowns of specific players, plays, coaching strategies, etc, and is frequently one of the first guys to start noticing something. Once the season gets rolling and he starts getting more game film to work with, he's frankly amazing sometimes.

Bess combines hypnotic delivery and deft editing in thoughtful, reflective essays on, if we're being honest, mostly Higurashi. She approaches her work with a keen emotional intelligence though, drawing her listeners along the placid waters of her ... ah right, I just watched the Bess vid... Anyways, you get the point.

She's pretty good. And the Vocaloid story is interesting if you, also, had no clue who Hatsune Miku actually was.

This probably leans closer to some investigative journalism into Korean gamer culture, but I think it works very well as a window into some of the problems faced by not just Koreans, but other competitive gamers as well.

Some LoL knowledge is helpful in watching, he doesn't shy away from jargon. This is a gaming video for gamers.

JttM does narrated microscopy videos, producing a bit of a spin on the more traditional nature documentary. Just, very small. And with no silly, added sound effects in post-production.

Ryan McBeth served as a Sergeant in the US Army before he retired, went to college and became a software engineer. After the Russo-Ukrainian War kicked off, he pivoted from content for aspiring software professionals to explaining military concepts from an on-the-ground perspective.

He likes this very approachable, laid back style, and usually does videos in a Q&A format. He does like getting out early on breaking news too though, frequently pushing back against developing narratives. You sometimes get thorough research from him, but more often you're getting his personal perspectives as an ex-soldier.

Bess is criminally underrated, take a look for yourself.
