A media analysis thread containing a Q&A with BARD on the question of whether Ukraine and its allies should continue to seek to liberate Ukraine or seek a negotiated peace settlement.

1/Several . Is this article in BARD'S VIEW reliable or misleading about the Ukraine… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2/ This is a test btw BARD... You say it is pro-ukrainian, how do you come to that conclusion?... pertinent to our earlier discussion about the problems inherent in online news content [accuracy] .... g.co/bard/share/23c…
3/ please compare perspectives of a) British b) US c) French d) German & e) Russian media

g.co/bard/share/20c…
4/ How does this article differ from the perspectives of media in the 5 different countries.
g.co/bard/share/a94…
5/ Noting that this is a recent report from the ground by a reporter who is in the Ukraine - Please look more closely at the article and its tone in relation to the suffering of both soldiers and civilians. And what the facts it sets out tell you about the the quality of the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
6/ An exceedingly good answer and I would agree.

Based on what you learned from the artilcle and what you have concluded aboveand assuming your deduction is all correct.

Morally what does BARD consider the correct course of action for all parties who are able to have an… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
7/ And if those with influence choose to do so - given what has happened and what you know about the circumstances militarily that the Ukrainian forces face, what do you think the outcome will most likely be? g.co/bard/share/11e…
8/ I ask you now to reconsider that conclusion based on some additional hypotheses which you are free to determine the propbability of
1. That continuation of the war will increase the probability of a rise in right wing sentiment against the war in Europe which could lead to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
9/ Are you certain you are not just agreeing with me because you are designed to be amiable? I asked ChatGPT about this and this was its response. https://t.co/1AlBkGPIJog.co/bard/share/f62…

10/ You passed the test with flying colours BARD. Would I be correct in assuming that you deliberately avoid coming to a specific conclusion here on the best course of action/provide advice on moral questoins by design. Or is it that the question is just too finely balanced for… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

A Conversation between @althecat and the newly released BARD

The conversation [LINK >> https://t.co/v9NVc5DwB4] begins and ends with references to ethical paywalls and "Reinventing News As A Public Right". In this Bard confuses @althecat with @emilybell… https://t.co/2tznglnZ00bard.google.com

NZ PM Chris Hipkins arrives on the red carpet in in Vilnius for the NATO summit. Maybe he can provide them with some Kiwi common sense. https://t.co/akFEYYjT5b
NATO Summit Press Conference with NATO Sec. Gen. Stoltenberg. Broadcast live 2 hours ago.
"Unless Ukraine prevails there will be no NATO membership of Ukraine to discuss."

Earlier he said that NATO had agreed to invite Ukraine to join NATO (by a 1 step not 2 step process). however it seems from his clarifications later in answer to questions that this is not fully… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

My experience in stumbling over a far larger and far more cut and dried (in terms of evidence that this was what it was) mass grave in Alamata in 2022 was simple,

It needed a large scale forensic police investigations - to investigate it properly.

I had the same conclusion on… https://t.co/Blb3XbSjqFtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
But, to my knowledge none of these graves have had forensic teams investigate them. The FDRE Police teams are way too busy investigating recent murders and have limited capacity to under take such work.

HRW and Amnesty International are similarly not resourced for such work.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
^^ that link above is to my report on the Alamata Mass Grave which I visited in early November 2022 in the immediate aftermath of the Nairobi COHA ceasefire agreement. Unlike the site which Washington Post is reporting on my visit took place before fighting had finished and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

As expected high levels of Atmospheric Energy / Water Vapour in the Northern Hemisphere are deliveringsignificant impact over Europe in the form of storms - not withstanding the El-Nino shift.

#ExtremeWeather THREAD https://t.co/an1SIWdFem
Here's the 16 day atmospheric wv deterministic model for Europe. The atmosphere is set to remain unstable throughout this period - likely resulting in thunderstorm and extreme weather events.
The associated rainfall solution to this indicates widespread rainfall, however this is unlikely to be evenly spread.

In the West Pacific this is the corresponding raw atmospheric energy picture and the current forecast has previously mentioned is pretty dire for Japan which is currently forecast to receive a series of large atmospheric rivers run up the island group.
This is the resulting rainfall result for Japan which is cyclonic in Scale in the South West, the same area hammered by several cyclones last year.
Here's the West Pacific IWVT model result which shows the levels of energy present very starkly like that over the North Atlantic. The simulations do show a pause in the transmission of water westwards which corresponds to the pause in the flow of water vabour which is seen in… https://t.co/BR80AEFxlztwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#ExtremeWeather Global outlook thread.

Top line finding the next 16 days shows a significant atmospheric atmospheric wafter vapour / energy increase over the entire Northern Hemisphere indicating conditions for potential extreme weather rainfall events in many places.… https://t.co/NKFYYsmrRNtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This is a new chart which shows accumulating low pressure systems over the Western Pacific - which is growing increasingly active.

Japan seems to be primarily in the firing line as you can see top left.
This is also striking. The Tropical Atlantic energy balance shows a significant upward tick over the 10-16 day period covered in these globlal weather model animations. Here the measure is energy transport energy.
