I use OpenAI GPT-4o mini and have automated everything since for this amount of articles it would be overwhelming to do it manually. AND i wanted the translations so imagine every article is present in 6 languages. That has to be automated.
I’m not familiar with the author or their other articles so I can’t say whether they are or not but do we need to label all critics of western foreign policy Russian/CCP shills?
I had a look, maybe, to me he just looks like bog-standard D.C libertarian think-tank type of guy. The Cato institute positions itself as libertarian non-interventionist (founded by American libertarians and a billionaire), so it would be consistent with their viewpoint. To me it seems more likely the shilling going on here is domestic rather than foreign.
Also, in Europe, it isn't a secret that Putin's violence in Syria was meant to create pressure on Europe and create a diversion from Ukraine, and it worked (wir schaffen das).
When I read the title, I had a feeling somebody wanted to reframe that.
This is why the author should have written the article during Obama's term, not now. Now Russia is responsible for pressuring the EU with migrants. However, not a word about it, which makes it anti-US propaganda.
US commercial and military interests led to the destabilisation of many republics and states across the world in the name of freedom and democracy. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is the bold and sad truth and the truth is that those wonderful values have been completely emptied from their meaning by the US capitalist elites.
"Come and see" and "20 Days in Mariupol". Both are about wars and both affect you the way nothing else does.
The last one is a documentary about the war in Ukraine. The actual raw uninterpreted reality of things that we read about in history books or in the news changes your perspective on many things, from politics to simple things in life that we often take for granted.
News stories force an agenda on you. History books may give you some knowledge about the reality we live in today. THIS lets you live through the traumatic experience of the history books and news story events.
I was nearly catatonic after I left a screening of "Come and See", I have never seen such a raw and unflinching story told about the war, nothing held back. Just indescribable the mood that it sets and how it unfolds the story. Hard to even put down in words my feelings on it.
This "documentary" does the same - force the agenda - perhaps even more so.
History books can potentially teach how to avoid this kind of conflicts. They are not emotionally appealing - unlike "documentaries", and likely less interesting, but we need to read one to avoid making another
I actually think that open source AI will be a terrible idea for sufficiently advance AI for the same reasons that open source nukes or bioweapons would be a mistake. So I'd be very happy to see them change their name to ClosedAI.
Is it all automated?
