It's on wikipedia but sure.

"While corruption is not a new phenomenon in Venezuela, it has dramatically worsened with the Chávez and Maduro regimes. In recent years, Venezuela has been ranked as one of the most corrupt countries globally by international indices, and has played a major role in the economic collapse and broader crisis in Venezuela"

your main concern with the country is "corruption, as measured by whom exactly

I'm merely replying to your previous comment, but maybe reading what you're responding to is difficult, much easier to move goalposts

The fact is that as soon as a government tries to rule itself to serve its people instead of western capitalists

I've highlighted the pertinent part of your previous comment

After all the fighting, suffering and genocide in the region, it'll all be for nothing once climate change makes it uninhabitable.

I've marked the pertinent word from the original comment in bold so you can spot it easier.

The government of Venezuela is trying to serve it's people? One of the most corrupt governments in the world? That's your example of a government trying to serve it's people? Pretty funny

I'm not talking about Iran specifically, although I understand it wasn't very clear in my first comment, but the region in general.

Besides that, 1953 is quite a few decades ago, will they ever stand on their own feet or will they forever blame the past? Every country has had tragedies but unjust as it may be you have to move forwards

I mean that's the problem lol

Unregulated capitalism maybe but that's why you should set up regulations

Ever heard of oil?

The us invaded every country in the middle east? TIL

Guess they're never going to be the masters of their own fate, in 200 years they can still blame the us for any shortcomings.

Either that or you get bombarded with communist apologia until you learn which domains to avoid

I don't disagree with you about AGI but the timeframe is the big question. Will it come in a decade or a century? Impossible to know.

It seems the current predictive machine learning is reaching it's breaking point and improvements are slowing down. Is that because the limit is reached or just a temporary slowdown until something better is discovered. Also impossible to know

I have no doubts that AGI will eventually arrive unless we blow ourselves up

Good point, I have no interest in tarkov but arc is great

11 what? Days, weeks, years? I don't know horses or which timescale makes the most sense here haha
