Time Magazine apparently thought this SATIRICAL quote from @thebeaverton.com was true.
Hoekstra: "'A Canada that it would be very easy to target with 500% steel tariffs, or one patriot missile aimed at Parliament Hill,’ he added, rather incredulously.'"
Says a lot about media, & the times were in.

great thread getting into the details of how chatbots hallucinate and why people fall for it
I phrased the search a different way and the bot happily gave the opposite claim also as true, once again connected to a different set of semi-credible sources. Among the other issues, then, is that we are dealing with de-contextualizing tools. Information lifted from its chain of reference.

The Russian army is exhausted too. Russia is taking far higher casualties than Ukraine, and after 3.5 years has barely moved the front line. The idea that Russia is “winning” is simply not supported by the evidence. As I told DW News.
