4 months ago I thought I’d cut some corners and instead of looking for an online Cyrillic keyboard to transliterate a simple three word phrase, I’d ask ChatGPT. it transliterated “zvezda” (звєзда, a star) as жірка (“zhirka”, a frying pan). that was the first and the last time I tried using LLM to do language stuff.

These numbers underline the current trend to choose European services instead of American ones, which followed the trend to deGoogle.

OP is only linking to articles from that website, so they’re probably trying to promote their AI slop in order to get more ad revenue

because it’s a modified uBlock Origin, so it’s like running two ad blocking plugins at once, which isn’t recommended. and if uBO blocks an ad first, AdNauseam won’t be able to detect it and click on it.
