US sanctions alone are responsible for nearly 565,000 deaths/year around the world.[1]

The UN Human Rights Council just confirmed US blockade against Cuba violates human rights and international law, citing Article 33 of Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits collective punishment.[2]

Telegraph.co.uk is a tabloid rage bait publication that produces propaganda. Until there are more sources, this should be considered fake news.

We know that is not true. You can check wikileaks and pictures online about what protestors did.

You don't even know the truth and because internet is poisoned with this version in English, it will regurgitate the same propaganda.

The link I shared mentions their AI strategy.

Short version is this: putting export controls on AI open-source will hinder their own internal open-source ecosystem

> And then there are the geopolitical tensions. What happens if China or the US cut us off overnight from these technologies? Just a couple of weeks ago the US government showed it was able and willing to cut off non-US citizens from Anthropic’s latest frontier model.

The only evidence you have is US here and all the frontier models from China are free to download. Pure projection.

That is just misleading reporting. Very convenient for US frontier labs. This is actually what happened.

Can you stop spreading atrocity propaganda?

The rape hoax has been debunked several times. Meantime, there is a lot of video evidence of Israelis raping Palestinians.

Re:Trump imposes tariffs, sanctions on Colombia after it refuses depor... on Sunday January 26, 2025 @09:05PM (#42836589)
No.

He never opposed deportations to Colombia.

He just wanted them to be treated humanely.

Petro has already declared counter-tariffs against the US.

Very dishonest reporting.

It’s objectively worse in my local tests compared to Mistral. Again their model doesn’t include MT-bench benchmark because it’s really really bad at answering a follow up question(s). (this is also a problem in Ultra). It’s reasoning is also pretty bad compared to mistral.
