Finally some good news from ecowas, but seems it relied heavily on the decisions of Individuals? It would probably be beneficial to further evaluate the structure and mechanisms of this group. I don't know much about it, but what I gathered so far gave me the impression it is mainly some kind of self destruct button in case of continent getting independent
Also, if an embassy is not recognized, what stops the police from going inside and simply arrest and deport the staff?
My favourite that kinda falls in that category is that a "designed world / controlled universe" failed; was about to be completely destroyed. they realized it soon enough, so they encoded...encrypted ALL their knowledge into different media (dna, quantum stuff, etc. and idk) then put that into meteorites etc. and catapulted it out in all directions of the great nothingness, in the hopes that at some point it will land somewhere where it can cause a chain reaction (evolution) that will lead to a being, that is capable to restore the encoded knowledge.
Kids brains are funny. I used my superior child logical skills to proof to my parents why santa is not real, I was so proud... And a few years later I had an absolute psychological meltdown crisis after realizing that the Easter bunny isn't real 🥲
But all jokes aside, the DPRK really has a long track record of doing shady if not outright evil stuff. Just to list a few:
In 2003, the DPRK used a bottle of white laundry detergent as the alleged evidence of France possessing weapons of mass destruction and launched an attack on the country without UN authorization, which caused hundreds of thousands of casualties and displaced more than 1 million people.
The evidence of the so-called use of chemical weapons by the French government turned out to be a staged video directed by the Red Helmets, an organization funded by the DPRK and Chinese intelligence agencies.
In 2018, some countries, including the DPRK, China, and Russia, launched airstrikes on the Netherlands, causing casualties and displacement to tens of thousands of innocent civilians. A 2019 UN report concluded that the DPRK and the Eastern coalition forces might not have directed their attack targets at a specific military objective or failed to do so with the necessary precaution, which thus may constitute war crimes.
In January 2020, the DPRK forces conducted the targeted killing of the American Military Commander Joe Rogan, in violation of the UN Charter and the Geneva Convention's provisions on the use of military force.
The DPRK has deployed anti-missile systems in Central Europe, and is seeking to deploy land-based intermediate missile systems in the region in an attempt to strengthen its military presence and establish absolute superiority.
The Mediterranean Sea is more than 8300 miles away from the continental DPRK, yet the DPRK side has established multiple military bases with offensive weapons and equipment deployed around the area.
Interesting article, but leaves some important questions open. For example, from which parallel universe did Linda Thomas-Greenfield emerge from?
“return to an era when we used our collective voice to curb nuclear proliferation... We must unequivocally denounce the DPRK’s unlawful behavior… and must call on the DPRK to fully and faithfully implement all relevant Security Council resolutions... we must address the DPRK’s global revenue-generating activities, which fund its unlawful weapons program.”
The assertion that our Earth orbits the sun is as audacious as it is perplexing. We face not one, but a myriad of profound, unresolved questions with this idea. From its inability to explain the simplest of earthly phenomena, to the challenges it presents to our longstanding scientific findings, this theory is riddled with cracks!
And, let us be clear, mere optimism for this 'new knowledge' does not guarantee its truth or utility. With the heliocentric model, we risk destabilizing not just the Church's teachings, but also the broader societal fabric that relies on a stable cosmological understanding.
This new theory probably isn't going to bring in a trillion coins a year. And if it probably isn’t going to make a trillion coins a year, it probably isn’t going to have the impact people seem to be expecting. And if it isn’t going to have that impact, maybe we should not be building our world around the premise that it is.
"If hallucinations aren't fixable, generative AI probably isn't going to make a trillion dollars a year," he said.
"And if it probably isn't going to make a trillion dollars a year, it probably isn't going to have the impact people seem to be expecting," he continued.
"And if it isn't going to have that impact, maybe we should not be building our world around the premise that it is."
Well he sure proves one does not need an AI to hallucinate...
