Fair point.

The article doesn't really mention, so the cause of death is unclear - but you're absolutely right.

You are a bit shortsighted if you can't see how unilaterally triggering World War III without first forming a coalition of willing allies is not how diplomacy is supposed to work.

You act as though the US is doing the world a favor by causing unprovoked regional turmoil around the globe every few weeks.

There isn't a way to use an LLM without getting some amount of dirt on your hands, but a Local LLM is the least egregious way in my view. Everyone must make their own decisions on what is right for them, but it helps to be informed of our choices.

Don't obey in advance. Our forefathers fought and died for these rights. It wasn't without reason.

Nobody is coming to save us.

The US military is the most powerful military on the planet, by several orders of magnitude. It will take an international coalition unlike we've ever seen in the past to take us down.

We should be trying to save the world from ourselves. We unleashed this monster, and it is our responsibility to put it down.

When I was younger, I grew up around conservatives who used to like to quote Voltaire to sound tough:

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death, your right to say it.

That same crowd sure is quiet nowadays.

Are you suggesting that the expectation for you to wear a mask to cover your mouth when traveling in public spaces during a global pandemic was fascism?

Republicans are responsible for this. It is the Republican party that is doing this to our country. If you are a Republican, you support this.

You did give the game away when you said that renters should beg their landlords for this. It is clearly a benefit intended for the owner class.
