  • He’s consolidated the military under the MoD umbrella,

    Has he? He lost capable military leaders from Wagner, and those forced to fight alongside Russian troops fight now alongside troops which bombed them before. I hardly imagine there is much trust or comrades between Russian military and Wagner troops.

    his comradery with Lukashenko likely improved,

    It strengthened Lukashenko.

    the West is admitting that Ukraine is running out of ammo (thus the cluster ammunition)

    … which has nothing to do with the attempted coup

    and he (or rather Lukashenko) has a strong private army close to the Ukrainian border, about 90km from Kiev

    It really depends if that army still fights for Putin. The smear-campaign against Prigozhin wouldn’t make sense in this scenario.

    Putin looks like messing about, trying to make the best of the situation, with no clear plan. He looks weak, and maybe worse, plan-less.






  • They are trained to give answers which sound convincing on a first glance, for simple questions in most fields that strongly correlates with the correct answer. So, asking something simple on a topic I have no clue has a high likelihood to yield the answer I’m looking for.

    The problem is, if I have no clue, the only way to know if I exceeded the “really simple” ralm is by trying the answer and failing, because chatgpt has no concept of verifying it’s own answers or identifying its own limitations, or even to “learn” from it’s mistakes, as such.

    I do know some very similar humans, though: Very assertive, selling guesses and opinions as facts, overestimating themselves, never backing down. ChatGPT might replace tech-CEOs or politicians 😁
