Also, if you want to create enough chaos to find "reasonable" cause for martial law and other exceptions to normal rule of law in order to increase your power and subvert courts and elections. And none of these are mutually exclusive.

To fight nazi propaganda, we need to continuously repeat the actual truths, just like they repeat semi-truths and lies. And if we don't want our freedoms to die, if we don't want truth itself to die, then we need to prepare to die instead of them. To live free we must be willing to die free. (8/8)

The only way to fight bullies like Russia, Trump, and others is to stand against their oppression, strong and united. To paraphrase an old saying with more context: if you want to live in peace with an aggressor, you need to show them your willingness to die with them. (7/8)

Unlike USA, Europe knows first hand what it means to fight a war on your own soil. Germany also knows what it means to lose a war on your own soil. But Germany should also remember who it was when it lost, and realize that "Today" is part of the "Never again", and "again" is closer than ever. (6/8)

Ukraine is not The Problem - it is just a test, a chance to show that Europe is ready to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Currently, Ukraine is paying the price for their war (with help), but the cost to Russia has, so far, been almost meaningless. Why stop when you can only win? (5/8)

EU should show strength and unity in its shared goals and put their money where their mouth is through post-NATO defenses, policies, trade, and decision making. Poland does not seem to want a repeat run from ca. 100 years ago, but do other EU states? We can not count on USA. (4/8)

NATO members should prepare for a time without USA as the value of the organization remains in the structures, processes, and shared capabilities. NATO2 can be even stronger if the members are willing to put in the effort that reflects their current, publicly stated values. (3/8)

The States should try to become united in bipartisan spirit against the bullying, occupying force of the 2nd Trump administration now that the country is more divided than ever. Though the movie Civil War (2024) seems inevitable, one should try to remain free, peaceful, strong, and united. (2/8)

If that sounds far-fetched, it has already happened (assuming the quote is true, and it might not be but why couldn't it be?). For an AI, modifying some files is just a means to an end:

No AGI, ASI, self-awareness or other mystical levels needed. Just some logic, Internet access, Google search, some forgotten, old code somewhere, and a stupid AI trying to reach a given goal with thousands of missing restrictions on what it is allowed to do.

Here's one how: in order to win against an online chess player, the AI decides that a win is guaranteed if the player dies. So, the AI hacks into some Soviet era nuke silo and launches some warheads towards the US city where the opponent lives.
