I'm not sure who said iran were the good guys. I just know that I was never asked if they were so bad that it is worth the whole world paying 50% more for fuel. Trump made that decision for everyone and he will also probably rape the country for oil and just keep it for the US and then remind everyone how great he is.

doesn't matter. shakes, cakes and syrup are worse, but fructose in regular fruit is still bad in excess (obesity, diabetes, liver problems). the benefits of fruit are many: antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, etc. (excess of some of those can be bad too, mind) but mainly because of the high fructose content it should be consumed sparingly. like tfa points out we're not bears going into 6 months of hibernation, even though [-space reserved for obligatory joke-].

fruit today is overabundant, even already peeled and cut into bite sized portions. that's not how we evolved, even our grandparents didn't have access to so much fruit all year around. heck, when i was a kid saint nickolaus brought us exactly that as a present and special treat: fruits and nuts, and a bit of chocolate.

You can continue to push lies. But I will not get on board with that. LLMs cannot reason. We have mathematical proof of that. Not that this is in any way a surprise to people that actually understand the mechanisms they are using. Among actual experts, this is not even a debate. The only thing these people look at is why the fake is so convincing.

That is because you cannot do it yourself. Sorry, no other conclusion is possible from what you post.

Let me break it down a bit: There is non-general intelligence. You can fake that with tables and other preconfiguration mechanisms, because the domain and the set of conclusion is finite and known in advance.

On the other side, there is general intelligence. That one cannot be done with any precomputations. It requires the elusive quality of "insight" and that is whu LLMs can (provably) not do it.

In essence, what an LLM (and sadly many people) do is look up some precomputed "reasoning" and replay that. Many people do that without any fact-checking at all and what they arrive is called an "illusion of understanding". Also note that only about 10-15% of the human race are independent thinkers (i.e. able to fact-check), the rest does not actually have or use general intelligence. You seem to be in the 85...90%.

I am really bad at being a true believer. I have this drastic impairment that I can see reality and recognize facts.

Incidentally, that you got moderated down for that spot-on comment just shows that the AI fans are essentially a cult by now. "Cognitive surrender" all the way. Not that they had much in the way of cognitive abilities to begin with.

That's not strictly true either. One of the problems is literally the logistics of it. Major airports like CDG and AMS have no constrain in their jet supply. Their local refineries have no capacity reduction. The issue is keeping an airport running requires local supply. This is usually pipelines, for smaller airports it is trucks. So yes some airports get supplies from some refineries which buy oil from constrained sources. Fuel shortages is not going to affect everywhere, it's not a fungible resource that can be traded within Europe.

This is more the the IEA making a case to ensure that the EU maintain resources as a policy, not a specific imminent problem.

Speaking of unpopular prices are already high. KLM is literally cancelling flights because they aren't profitable to fly and prices have gone up dramatically for new tickets already. Everyone is already pissed at trump.

This isn't an EU problem, it's an economic one.
