Quite different. RT/Russia Today is a state-run thing, while the “Ukrainian news” that you are most likely referring to are private news agencies. You won’t see such news in Russia Today about Russia: Kyiv Independent - Zelensky signs law destroying independence of Ukraine’s key anti-corruption bodies, while they are being published in the “Ukrainian news”
rt.com as a news source for coverage on the Russo-Ukraine conflict? Are you serious?
Those are previous gen models, here are the current gen models: https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/8124a3ce-ab78-4f06-96eb-49ea29ffb52f/gpt5-system-card-aug7.pdf#page10
Will do!
Update: I did and it actually looks like a great tool to find the sources for the ‘both sides’. Unfortunately most of the news seem to come from the 10-15 same sources but nevertheless, that’s the best what I’ve seen so far
That’s a brilliant idea actually, thanks!
I mean, MAGA sources work fine for me, as long as they actually just cover MAGA-friendly stories. I am fine with them manipulating me with the story choice as I follow a lot of news sources, I am just not fine with them manipulating me with the facts. I am looking for sources that I can be sure that the story covered is actually reputable and don’t really need to double-check it for the factual correctness

Came here after my niche small Reddit client got officially shut down. When the API changes were announced, I knew that I’d rather switch than use their official Reddit client. I didn’t like that they charge AI companies for accessing my data and I don’t get any share of their profit neither. Here on Lemmy everyone can train their AI models on our data but at least there’s no random dude (spez) who profits off that.
The decentralization meaning that I can choose some random small instance and not be bound to the admins of any big one was another big point for Lemmy
There are different levels of poverty. Poverty in Somalia and poverty in Scandinavia or Western Europe are two different levels of poverty that do not compare
Yep, the vast majority of the teams mentioned are used exclusively for private companies and public institutions to report cyberattacks, taking down phishing sites and issuing guidance on things like the minimum password length. Or protecting military against cyber threats - would suck if you had, let’s say, drones, that during the wartime turn out to be compromised by the enemy army and sabotage your operations. That’s perfectly understandable and different than stealing trade secrets via cyberattacks. Therefore I’ve asked for actual reports of actual hacks conducted by any of the countries I’ve mentioned
What technologies Germany, Poland, Singapore or Norway stole since the fall of USSR if that’s the case? I can name many technologies that China stole, that the US stole, but definitely don’t see it as a critical piece for all nations. Most countries don’t even have hackers nor network of spies capable of stealing other countries’ valuable trade secrets
Yes, I’ve been there multiple times. I have seen people who went to jail for sending a political meme on a private WeChat group because Xi felt insulted. Even in the US which is in a huge democratic backsliding for years, it’s nowhere that bad. In China there’s also “massive false information” but the thing is, it’s all government-run propaganda only and the rest of the world’s media is blocked. In the US, you can read Al Jazeera if you don’t like the American media narratives. In China you can’t. In USA, you can use Lemmy to laugh about Trump’s fake tan. In China Lemmy is blocked and even if it wasn’t, laughing at Xi gets you in jail. There’s no political freedom in China, even if it’s in shambles in the US now, let alone countries with a working democracy like Switzerland.
Hong Kong is not mainland China, you picked one of the only two places (alongside Macau) that doesn’t have a censored internet in China. Regular Chinese need to pay $30 for a visa/entry permit to Hong Kong. Hong Kong has a different system than Mainland China. When taking about China, I am talking about mainland China and not a special administrative region of Hong Kong, obviously.
Regarding the economy (I’ve never mentioned it and it has nothing to do with democracy but ok), many people in China also can’t afford health care and are living paycheck to paycheck (or worse). China is not just Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Do you think 120 yuan pension is enough in the Chinese village near Chengdu? That’s what grandparents of one of my Chinese friend make. Asked her if that’s enough, she laughed and replied “of course not!”. Do you think they were able to before retiring, working their whole lives as farmers? Do you really think such people don’t live paycheck to paycheck and it’s USA-exclusive issue than China doesn’t have? Do you know how many months of a median wage you need to work for a house in any major city in China vs in the US (spoiler: it’s even longer than in the US).
Summing up: the political freedom is still lower in China than in any flawed democracy (as I stated before), and China also has its economic issues which you seem to neglect. Yes, USA has those too, but it’s still among the richest countries in the world. You would be better off in many European countries if you’re poor but not in China.
Would be great if the competition was not about stealing others’ technologies
Just a friendly reminder that China is still much worse than any flawed democracy when it comes to freedom
I am aware of that. The thing with Kyiv Independent in particular (this is the most frequently posted “Ukrainian news”) is that the Ukrainian government is not directly in control of what they write, unlike with RT. The problem with RT is that they publish fake news regularly while Kyiv Independent mostly just chooses to publish the news that show Ukraine in a good light but their articles stay factually correct. Examples of failed RT fact checks regarding the current conflict:
