I hate complexity, that’s why became a total scrumdumpster.

Take detailed notes so you can sue the shit out of them if you get a chance.

Honestly it’s amazing to me coming out of the hexbear bubble for the last three years how uninformed westerners actually are about geopolitics. There no reason at all to belive this besides you want it to be true.

Yeah, one lesson I’ve taken from this conflict, is if you ever get conscripted into a modern war, don’t fucking go, because someone in power probably wants you dead. You’ve got russia on one side trying to smash their own domestic fascists and dwindle their numbers (see Wagner in Bahkmut) and you’ve got Ukraine trying to burn through anyone they think might have Russian sympathies. It’s just a shitty situation all around, and of course it usually affects the poorest.

The point remains this is going to go on until the west, or better yet, the people of Ukraine can acknowledge the reality of the situation and muster the phrase “territorial concessions”. Continuing to expend lives on the idea of retaking Crimea is not a path to victory.

Fwiw, I don’t begrudge folks in the west not knowing this stuff. You’re being kept in the dark about a lot of it, to the point that you actively need to be seeking out the truth from lots of sources. Western sources are constantly overstating Ukraine’s footing in this conflict, in ways that are quite obviously fabricated if you look into it.

For sure, no worries. I had the same questions as you when reading it. Fwiw, the paper is really kind of sloppy. I think it’s maybe a case of poor students not wanting to pay for GPT-4? Maybe they’ll clean it up and respond to some of the criticisms when it comes out of draft, but it doesn’t seem like very rigorous scholarship to me.

I’m talking about the models and how they’re written about in the literature. I don’t care how OpenAI brands their products.

From the paper itself:

For the additional 2000 SO questions, ChatGPT 3.5 Turbo API is used.

ChatGPT is 3.5, 4 is just called GPT4
