People who make fun of LLMs most often do get LLMs and try to point out how they tend to spew out factually incorrect information, which is a good thing since many many people out there do not, in fact, "get" LLMs (most are not even acquainted with the acronym, referring to the catch-all term "AI" instead) and there is no better way to make a precaution about the inaccuracy of output produced by LLMs –however realistic it might sound– than to point it out with examples with ridiculously wrong answers to simple questions.

Edit: minor rewording to clarify

Regardless of political subtext, I found Master and Margarita a fun read. Nevertheless, Heart of a Dog of the same author was not pleasant to read.

Soviet literature was not worse than the works of pre-Revolution authors and ranged across many genres, from socialistic realism works to fantasy (Soviet sci-fi was great) and also many children books that are loved till this day. Unfortunately, same with other kinds of works, Soviet literature is disregarded by the West, as are many works that don't conform to the Western values.

Package "linux" is already the newest version.

A lot of the points that you raise were actually brought up in discussion about the time that the stance of KKE on this topic was announced. The article you linked is, I think, the first time the decision was made public by the party gensec himself, but the text I was referring to was actually only published yesterday, so far only in Greek AFAICT. Still, if you want to have a go with a translator, this is it: [https://m.902.gr/eidisi/politiki/354061/oi-theseis-toy-kke-gia-ton-politiko-gamo-ton-omofylon-zeygarion-kai-tis].

The reality is, KKE is the strongest communist party in the country and I support its stance on most other topics, but on a few approaches its approach is at best questionable or at worst inadequate and conservative. It certainly feels like they care too much about their percentages in the elections (which, truth be told, are better than they have ever been), so far as to support homophobic views in an attempt to win conservative and right-wing sympathizers (very pathetic). Still, I find it hard to believe that they can implement their program by just winning the elections. The bourgeoisie won't give up easily on their benefits, and NATO and EU will almost certainly react.

Still I think that if any party deserves support in the elections, it is KKE, and I have hopes that things will change for the better over time, especially considering its increasing popularity among the youth.

All in all, this bot is very neat! And the responses it generates seem quite to the point so far. Also, Comrade Stalin seems ridiculously well informed on 21st century stuff.

The rise of politically right parties worldwide is quite worrying. The election of Milei was a big but not totally unexpected shock. It is amazing how masterly these parties use media (mass- and social-) and campaigns to make their opponents seem feeble and powerless while trying to present themselves as the only solution, even promise miracles (a lot of people want to believe in easy solutions). Milei did all of those: openly accusing the opposition and promising the amelioration of Argentinian economy in a very very short time.

It's important to note that ruling parties the influence on the media can be much more immense, so that sometimes the only thing the government has to be effective in is communication with the electoral base, no matter how incompetent it is (e.g. Greece). That is, Milei might only has to persuade and reassure the people that voted for him that the government is effective in order to get re-elected. That seems hard to achieve now, but remember how Milei suddenly got tremendously more popular just before the elections. Political parties' communication departments can often work miracles in producing believable propaganda, much more so when it can harp on the worries of the people in hard times. Let's hope the strike is a sign that Milei won't stay for too long.
