The United States is helping #russia kill #Ukrainians: "As a result of this pause [in U.S. #intelligence sharing with #Ukraine], there are hundreds of dead Ukrainians.

Ukrainians have lost the ability to detect the approach of Russian #bombers and other #warplanes as they take off inside Russia. As a result, Ukraine has less time to warn civilians and #military personnel about the risk of an approaching airstrike or missile."

Is Donald Trump a Russian asset? This US author is 'completely certain' he is¹

Craig Unger, an American journalist and writer who has written two books on Trump’s connections to Russia’s security services and the Russian mafia stretching all the way back to the 1980s, says he is "absolutely certain" that the U.S. president is a Russian asset.

According to Unger, Trump’s current actions are benefiting Russian President Vladimir Putin, and destroying relationships with long-time allies.

The Kyiv Independent sat down with Unger to hear what makes him so certain.

@Techmeme This is the danger of closed source

These are knowledge models, and they only output what they are fed with

And no, they won’t magically develop ’reasoning skills’ and be able to sift through propaganda. NOT when it’s part of the training

To think otherwise means you don’t know shit how they work

Training data for #ai #foundationmodels should be subject to public #academic scrutiny. Otherwise the models are bound to fall for flooding attacks

They obey statistics
