reports that President Trump had agreed to any plan for the Kurds to launch an insurgency in Iran were “completely false.”

Thanks, I’ll give it a try

I know duckduckgo rely on Microsoft bing for search results so I was assuming the AI is from ChatGPT?

I just looked now at their chatbot and they offer dififerent options most are based on OpenAI’s GPT (which even if self hosted, still relying on OpenAI). one other option based on Meta’s Llama and Calude.

Only reasonable option seems to be Mistral Small 3 which /u/horseloaf seem to suggest as well.

I’ll give it a try

Good, helps me feel less bad when China finally invade.

and also not Musk’s Grok and not Google’s Gemini and of course not the Chinese DeepSeek so what do we use then?

what if it was my boss who said that during a technical argument? :/

True story

If Russia were to win the war - big if - then the cost is well worth it.

If Russia doesn’t win, its the end of Putin.

I think Putin understands that so hecan’t really back down.

yes, commenting on the wrong post.

Thanks for pointing that out

Edit: Comment deleted because it belong to different post

damned if you pollute, damned if you don’t :)

I am joking. If sulfate particles are that good we would’ve sprayed them on purpose. I feel like these would contribute to acidic rain which destroys the oceans and also bad for health and for crops

Would be great if the article starts with: “What even is open claw?”

A picture of a cooked lobster is not helping

I agree with all what you said.

The one thing we might disagree on is that you believe a fairer system is possible whereas I look at all countries in all of the known history and conclude that its not possible to have a fair system where everyone is truly equal.

I could be wrong of course. I am not a historian and surely there is a lot for me to learn and hence my question about any historic evidence of a successful fair system.

I come from Egypt and we went through communism period. The president back then decided to take big chunk of land from the ultra rich and divide it among the farmers. Factories were nationalized, big chains and businesses were taken away.

Result:

1. When a land lord owned vast amount of land, he had enough money to buy most advanced equipments and most talented and experienced engineers in agriculture but when the land got divided among many poor farmers, they couldn’t afford any of that and productivity went down fast and the effect is lasting until now.

2. Nationalized factories and businesses were given to people who - at best - didn’t worry too much if they’d succeed or not and at worse wanted to make as much cash as possible. Add to that people feared of succeeding too much least their possessions get confiscated.

Egypt used to produce TVs, Radios, cassettes, Cars, .and many others and now it produces pretty much nothing.

Even China didn’t starts to succeed until it gave in a little to Capitalism (not that Communist China was any fairer anyway)

I am not very familiar with Australian history.

Did the native Australians write their history or only have stories that is passed from one generation to the next?

Both examples represent only a state or autonomous region within a country.

I understand capitalism is the dominant these days but I was ask more about the entire history of humanity.

Was there a whole country [ not a city or state ] at any point in written history that prospered on a more fair system?

What would be an honest system look like? any real world examples?

Honestly he is right and the British know he is right. It’s just the US is so unreliable these days that they have no choice but to work with China

Even if she’s not a puppet certainly she feels threatened by Trump’s actions against previous Venezuelan president.

The news article make it sound like a progressive leader who came up with a genuine idea not a hostage with a gun pointed to her head.

For people who dont know Ache is self governing indonesian province and the onoy one adopting sharia law

Wasnt that Trump’s demand?
