they're being politically repressed but not necessarily genocided. Are there concentration camps? I thought there was an issue around bilingual schools and a lot of political repression, not to mention the civil war and shelling of donbass, but I wouldn't call it a genocide. It's more of a civil war. A lot of Ukrainians are targeted for "siding with Russia" so it's more of a political thing than an ethnic thing.

>>2879840
You sound like Israel supporters defending Israel against claims of genocide

The Donbass is basically Northern Ireland but if it shared a land border with England, no I will not elaborate

>>2879839
>The biolabs in ukraine
yes those existed
>were engineering diseases that targeted Russian and Chinese people specifically. Ethnic cleansing was always part of the goal
just like I ask for sources on the so called "uyghur genocide" I ask for sources on this.

>>2879828
>Guess the ongoing genocide of Russians is actually a good thing! Slava Ukraine!
It's almost as if Russia has been victimized by the Nazis twice: once directly, by murder, destruction and genocide, and the second time when it made it adopt this absolutely self-destructive memeplex.

I don’t think it’s possible to create a disease specific to one ethnicity

>>2879696
>They’re buying them up, cutting off the spines, scanning all the pages, then pulping the paper.
the other autist on tech is right in that these were books that weren't going to get scanned anyway, librarians were hoarding them for this exact moment, instead of scanning them to preserve them forever and risk losing their stock lol

>>2879841
not really. the gaza genocide is widely acknowledged, ongoing, and plainly obvious, with mountains of evidence. you are claiming something I have not seen nearly as much evidence for. I find this to be a fringe unproven allegation like the uyghur genocide. Now please provide your evidence that the goal of the Ukraine war is the genocide Russia and China.

>>2879839
Based. If the ruzzian genocide was happening I would support Ukraine.

>>2879845
on the contrary, you can engineer diseases to effect one person specifically if you have their DNA

>>2879845
>I don’t think it’s possible to create a disease specific to one ethnicity
yeah anon sounds like a nazi retard larping as a russia supporter

>>2879850
these are not mutually exclusive

internet communication is schizo these days because the ruling class's goal is to create confusion by mixing the truth with obvious lies so as to spoil the truth, while mixing truths into subtle lies so as to enrich the lies

>>2879851
thank you for your input liberal. wow "the other side (tm)" has shown up the overcorrect. every fucking time.

>>2879843
You’re in luck, that’s what the Fauci hearing today is on

>>2879848
stay out of my conversation and don't answer for me. you are glowie number 2

>>2879825
yeah, that's diplomacy.
mr. z didn't need to do diplomacy with loomer.

>>2879854
???????????????? elaborate now you just sound like a Qtard and not even a russia supporter

>>2879825
scroll up. loomer met with azov battalion leader. you're focusing on yesterday's news

>>2879852

if only someone had written extensively about the relationship of capitalism and schizophrenia

>if only someone
who? stop vagueposting with redditspeak and cite a damn source

>>2879852
There’s nothing inherently corroding about internet discourse in particular, people are schizo because they’re stressed, on drugs all the time (particularly caffeine), and society is breaking down

>>2879862
i mean you are the fake alternative
>russia is literally being hecking genocided

literally just being retarded on purpose

>“Synthetically-Generated Genomically Targeted Plagues” Will Be the Future of Warfare, says New Defense Report

>In a recent report by the RAND Corporation, funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the National Defense Research Institute, researchers explored the potential for engineered pathogens to become instruments of warfare. Now that advanced and complex biotechnology has left the realm of science fiction, and become reality, analysts and experts are beginning to assume that nation-states and non-state groups will consider these technologies in their planning and strategic forecasts.

>However, the landscape is changing. Advances in biotechnology, particularly in the field of engineered pathogens, are presenting new strategic opportunities and challenges in warfare. As artificial intelligence continues to develop and CRISPR technology becomes simpler and more cost effective, the report states that the idea of creating an engineered pathogen that targets specific individuals with certain genetic markers is quickly leaving the realm of science fiction.

everyone is just pretending to be retarded, there are no actual retards, fascinating

now it would be cool if i could actually comprehend the anti-oedipus, this guy never finished his project

real chads only support palestine

>>2879859
wdym he needs to update his 'yesterday's news'?
he holds that picture of bibi and putin like a relic, an ancient mythical artifact, a true icon of purity test results!

>>2879872
what a horrible time to be alive

>>2879876
supporting palestine means down with NATO, down with Israel, down with Ukraine, down with Taiwan.

BTW nobody is even talking about why these companies are bothering to scan these books themselves. It's all because of copyright laws(which I thought leftypol was against) and there is a loophole if they do the scanning themselves instead of getting pirated copies(something that only applies to books new enough to still be in copyright)

>This practice was revealed in a copyright ruling on Monday, which turned out to be a major win for Anthropic and the data-voracious tech industry at large. The judge presiding over the case, US district judge William Alsup, found that Anthropic can train its large language models on books that it bought legally, even without authors’ explicit permission.

>Before it turned to physical books, the company first relied on digital ones. In 2021, Anthropic co-founder Ben Mann took it upon himself to download millions of books from LibGen, an online “shadow library” of freely available, pirated texts. The next year, Mann praised a new website called Pirate Library Mirror, which was upfront about the fact that it “deliberately” violated copyright law in most countries. Sending a link to the website to other employees, Mann enthused about the site’s launch, “just in time!!!” per WaPo. (Anthropic denied using the pirated books to train any of its commercial models. But while Anthropic’s shredding of used books was deemed legal, the use of pirated ones was not, leading to the $1.5 billion settlement.)

>Anthropic wasn’t the only company turning books inside-out. In another author lawsuit, documents revealed how Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta also pilfered millions of books from shadow libraries like LibGen, which some employees realized was a little suspect.

>“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right,” one Meta engineer wrote in 2023 with a grinning emoji.

>Another PR-conscious employee warned about the blowback that could follow if the practice got out.

>“If there is media coverage suggesting we have used a dataset we know to be pirated, such as LibGen, this may undermine our negotiating position with regulators on these issues,” they wrote in an internal communication.

So they wouldn't even be bothered to scan books themselves if not for the stupid copyright laws and the loophole that says they can scan them themselves but not use pirated copies.

But again, this only applies to books that are new enough to be in copyright so this has nothing to do with rare manuscripts from the 1600s or some shit.

<Books published in 1930 entered the public domain on January 1, 2026. This means that works published in that year are no longer protected by copyright.
This only applies to books published after 1930.

>>2879875
read something valuable instead of wasting time on French schizobabble trans women on twitter read to make themselves feel smarter

>>2879872
The problem with the idea of a targeted disease is once it’s out there, especially as a virus it’ll mutate very quickly and who knows if the targeting mechanism will mutate with it. We have to get a new vaccine for the flu and now COVID every year. If Israel puts out the goyim killer 5,000 virus it’ll probably end up taking out most Likud voters.

>>2879882
we already saw this happen when fort detrick released covid and it killed maga boomers

>>2879879
yes

>>2879881
My understanding of D&G is unlike every other philosopher in history they actually see Desire as a positive thing that makes us productive. If only the language weren’t so academic and dense.

>>2879880
Here's an idea: copyright is bad, AI companies scanning and destroying human-made books so that they can keep the "quality" of their slop afloat for a few more years is also bad. Also if you think that this shit being digital will automatically make it easier to access then you must have missed the part of the conversation where tech oligarchs are openly talking about making all digital media and bandwith some kind of rental service. Anything you "purchase" can and will be revoked and there's not a damn thing you can do about it if it's all digital, just look at the shit Sony pulled with the Playstation. It's all just an extension of the "eet ze bugs und live in ze metaverse" shit.

>>2879880
lmao no way they already settled with a bunch of editorial houses and that's water under the bridge at this point. they are scanning books that aren't online and thus isn't part of their dataset yet, because despite their constant statements to the contrary, synthetic data is not good enough.
