yep

The US military takes enlistees at 17 and a half years old. Usually from poor families.

I believe the US lets people enlist at 17 (with parental consent) but they don't deploy them to combat before they're 18.

I encourage you to you watch this movie, btw.

You’re ignoring the fact your article also doesn’t provide source

Which article are you saying doesn't provide a source? I see only two articles linked in this thread and they both refer to several sources 🤔

I am sincerely baffled as to what your perspective about this story is.

Do you believe that EU and US officials are spreading Russian propaganda via the Associated Press about Russia supplying drones to Iran (which, as you said earlier, you believe they do not in fact have the ability to manufacture) and therefore Russia's denial is actually true but also part of their cunning plan to deceive us?

Or what?

Of course Russia denys it

But... just a few hours ago didn't you deny it too? 🤔

("No they aren’t" was your first comment in this thread)

Anyone can use copilot to open PR under their own name on any repo which accepts PRs, so you can't easily know copilot is involved without looking.

In the case of the first hit in the mastodon post's linked search query, it looks like a human actually opened the PR last year and subsequently requested a review from copilot (as well as from two humans); after some back and forth nothing else happened until 3 days ago when copilot updated the issue to tell them: you need to pick a "Usage billed to" option in your Copilot settings.

And then, apparently, three minutes after they updated their billing information copilot pushed some more commits and helpfully edited the human's original PR description to insert the advertisement.

(Obviously this is yet another reason to move off of github, but (1) that is much easier said than done for many projects, and (2) once it's normalized on github coding assistants will also be spamming in other venues soon enough if they aren't already.)

No they aren’t, Russia wouldn’t have purchased thousands of Iranian drones if they could produce them domestically.

Russia put out propaganda

The original link in this post is to an article by the Associated Press (syndicated on a website owned by Bell Canada) and it cites "U.S. and European officials" as its primary source to support the claim made in the headline that Russia is supplying drones to Iran.

I'm curious: did you call this Russian propaganda after reading only the headline, without actually realizing who is saying what here?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I suspect that after you read the article and see that Russia in fact denies sending drones to Iran (and says the seven trucks they just sent have food and medical supplies) you'll probably change your mind and decide that they probably are in fact sending drones.

It’s easy to avoid if you don’t use AI?

Isn’t this a Raycast ad, rather than a Copilot ad?

It seems most likely that it is copilot inserting it, because the other screenshots in the post show similar ads for its integrations with various other services too

Executive officer in charge of radishes Paterson Supra had one appearance and gets to be in this meme, but Ro Laren and Alexander Rozhenko (with eight episodes each) are both forgotten?

smh my head

I’ll compile from source

yfw you find out getting access to a compiler requires an ID check
