Given the profound stupidity of AI, given the fact that if what feeds it is made of bullshit, what comes out will necessarily be bullshit, given that today, on a specific request with numbers or dates, more than one answer out of two is false, given that the more advanced the model, the higher the level of hallucinations, given that it is incapable of perceiving second-degree meaning, I think a belligerent who uses AI for tactical support will have an advantage, but whoever trusts it, especially for strategic decisions, will be ruined.

Furthermore, I am convinced that the current total quagmire in the Gulf is essentially due to decision-makers who trusted the assessments of a state-of-the-art, exorbitantly expensive AI.

Andrew always warns about the Russian problem of feedback within decision-making levels. AI is that, but far worse.

The important thing is to be publicly aware of the West's deadly harassment of Russia.

It seems that the Russian intelligence apparatus is fed up with the buffoons (or worse) from Valdai and their out-of-touch vision of Russia's relationship with the West.

I also sense that members of the security services aren't too happy with the direction that Russia is going nor with the wishful thinking assessments of its "most brilliant minds".

Yes between the bunch of Valdaï and his Wonderland and the bunch of Lavrov in his village Potemkine, that make a lot of flute players who bring Russians drown in the river.

Bezrukov's speech was the clearest signal yet that the security services believe that it's time to regain their lost influence over policymaking.

While they're still powerful here in Russia, policy is under civilian control as proven by the case of Russian-Pakistani relations.

Despite numerous credible reports of Pakistan arming Ukraine, their rapprochement remains on track, which not everyone here agrees with.

If the security services had their say, I'm pretty sure they'd either demand that these shipments stop to resume their rapprochement or cut it off entirely.

That's not to say that they'd cut off ties with Pakistan, just that they probably consider it shameful to expand them under these circumstances.

The same goes for Turkiye, of course, and there are several other examples as well. I very much doubt that these proud institutions would tolerate such policies from their "partners".

The idea of the West/NATO/ USA going to war against Russia which is the worlds nuclear super power makes no sense at all because thety would be blown off the earth. So what do the bad boys do next? Taunt Russia in as many ways as they can. What is in the minds of the bad boys? They know they can not win so try rattling Russia in any ways that they can. The bad boys do not want to admit that they can win. There is a small group in Washington D.C. that hates every thing Russian. Take this ugly gang and ship them one way to ISRAEL ,where they belong. The sooner the better. They could not take Russia back a few centuries so they continue their fight against RUSSIA.

About the common historical past... That could be a problem and the way Russia behaves and also how it wraps that history is important. The record is really not good. I am familiar with R of Moldova example. I think Maria Zakharova, a Sinologist, still affirms that Moldovans speak a different language than Romanians. RT (EU suffers of the similar affliction but for different reasons) can not utter the word re-unification. WHile the re-unification is now mostly delayed by the Romanian part, it was cockblocked in the 1990s by Russia. Same way Koreans will not because of the US. As such, I don't think the Russian bureaucrats will know how to handle this. They don;'t know how to properly handle their own population, for Christ's sake.

If Iran does not abandon the information war space and can show good achievement, I see no reason that Russia should ever preemptively abandon the information war space against the West. If Modern Russian movies (non WW2 subject) are of any guide, I would say Russia has more than enough talents and know-how. It is probably more of an issue of whether they are directed toward that direction or even allowed to work on that front.

I'd like to know where there is evidence of Russia "doing the same thing" via AI or other means to "convince" Commonwealth states to "be on their side." Where are the Russian data centers? This seems conjured up by USA to once again prefigure what it is doing/will do by accusing others of it first.

Russia will do nothing because Vladymir Vladymirovich Putin is crypto-jew who is going to destroy Russia in a way, that Russians will not notice.

The JEWS were purged in RUSSIA in 1937- 39. Trotsky escaped to Mexico City where the Russians had him killed in 1940. NO JEWISH success in RUSSIA.

Darras is right. And, by the way, what has your »The Jews« comment to do with Mr. Korybko’s topic? Please explain.

Darras's avatar

I thought that he answered to Podhorsky, the man who think that Poutine is the son of a Jew and a martian lizard.

Ho yes?

And the revolution of October 17? Look at the member of the first buro. Look at the composition of Tcheka. Look at the composition of fist corp of Politic commissars.
