It's funny because I've had the opposite heuristic most of my line: the things I want to do most are whatever is hardest. This worked great for building my maths and physics skills and knowledge.
But when I started focusing on making money I've come to believe it's a bad heuristic for that purpose.
The West is a group of countries characterized by strong institutions and rule of law so Usa, Canada, europe, Japan, a Korea, Australia (it's not in fact a geographical term)
What I meant is that Ukraine is putting up a fight against an aggressor is doing unbelievably, and the west while helping isn't helping nearly as much as it should.

I hear a lot this:
- Either we should invest our full energy in coming to peace, whatever it costs, because the main goal is to save lives and keep the peace
- Or we go and support Ukraine with NATO and forces the War to an end
What we do today is none of both, like "almost 0 diplomacy" and giving weapons and support in the bare minimum, not committing to any position, is pretty bad to the civilians and soldiers in Ukraine.
Something that I never expected to hear and see: In Germany the Green Chanceler candidate, Robert Habeck, trying to score in the upcoming election, saying that he would deliver Taurus to Ukraine: https://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2024-11/ukraine-krieg-ro...
I'm sufficiently happy with the number of upvotes I received on my original comment that I don't feel the slightest bit dead. The pedantic and point-missing response from the GP is somebody with an axe to grind from an earlier tasteless comment I made which I (somewhat) regret now. We have very different neurodivergence profiles and are unlikely to be able to have a healthy and productive conversation.
While the response may be "technically correct" (best kind), the upvotes received for my original comment highlight my point - the number of people interested in generative poetry is a tiny contingent compared to those who are pretty much disgusted by it - more specifically at those who would try to pass it off as written by a human saying "if you weren't told it was AI, you might like it and you wouldn't know the difference. Try pretending you don't know".
It's missing the point. The wider public does not consider generative art to be art, but more resembling misappropriation and deception even if a tiny majority in the "tech roolz all" crowd here disagree.
Very clever and impressive technology to be sure, but if it's not art made by a human, it's a synthetic deriviative and those that don't appreciate it have some very valid complaints. I can appreciate that some here are very impressed by the tech, I am too. It does not mean I want to be lied do about the provenance of a piece of art, fooled into believing it was made by a human with human emotions, when it wasn't.
Nobody is going to say "what a talented computer! i wonder what they were feeling when they created that" because we already know. Absolutely nothing.
