We should all live our lives that way 'cuz we all have expiration dates!

Here are three images depicting a three-dimensional coordinate system with a Christmas tree located within it. Each image presents a slightly different perspective of the same setup.
The coordinate system is positioned with the x, y, and z axes clearly labeled. In the first image, the text โXmas Treeโ is present in the upper-left corner. The second image shows "Ymas Tree" in the upper left corner. In the third and final image, the text โZmas Treeโ is visible. In this final image, three vectors labeled Aโ, Aแตง, and Az extend from the origin toward the tree, presumably representing the components of a vector A pointing toward the tree. The tree appears as a conical, green shape with red ornamentation, positioned near the origin but slightly offset in the positive x, y, and z directions.

Concordo. L'esperimento รจ stato fatto sulla capacitร di persuasione di persone giร schierate, ma immagino avrร un effetto ancora piรน netto sulle persone indecise. Oltre allo scenario evocato in cui Sam Altman dร istruzioni esplicite di indirizzare un'elezione (magari quella di un paese europeo su richiesta di Trump...), c'รจ da considerare che i fatti potrebbero essere alterati dall'esterno tramite campagne di fake news che vengono tirate su dai chatbot durante le loro ricerche, o in modo piรน sottile il chatbot potrebbe dare piรน evidenza ad alcuni temi che mettono in migliore luce un partito.
Per i social siamo arrivati dopo la puzza. Questo รจ un buon momento per interrogarsi su come evitare che qualcuno alteri il risultato elettorale tramite i chatbot.

The ICJ has ruled that Russiaโs counter-claims in the genocide case brought by Ukraine are admissible and will be heard as part of the proceedings. Ukraine will respond by Dec 2026, Russia by Dec 2027. Despite Kyivโs objections, the court sees a legal and factual link between the claims.
You can bet Moscow will later demand these claims be dropped โas part of a deal,โ just like they want sanctions dropped. For now, theyโve managed to stall justice.
โผ๏ธAxios reports Trump envoys pushed Zelensky for immediate consent to cede Ukrainian territory to Russia during a Dec 6 call. After meeting Putin in Moscow, their โpeace proposalโ worsened, offering tougher terms on territorial concessions and control over the Zaporizhzhia NPP, while sidestepping any real security guarantees.
If this isn't a clear example that US 'envoys' are working in Kremlin interest, I don't know what is or ever will be.
