I am most likely unable to spot all AI-generated articles, but when I start noticing that a typical AI giveaway appears so many times, it bothers me. In the same way as that I probably couldn’t spot all the English language errors, but when there are so many that I start noticing them, it becomes annoying and it undermines the credibility of the author. Especially given the fact that this article doesn’t cite any sources.


It’s an interesting subject, so I was dissapointed when it became clear that this text is written by AI. AI uses the following structure very often: “It’s not X, it’s Y”, so the list below tells me it’s AI beyond doubt.
I.
This is not speculation. This is not inference from supply chain tightness or price movements or anecdotal reports from frustrated procurement officers. This is the documented operational reality of…
This is not an analysis of a commodity market experiencing temporary tightness. This is a reconnaissance report from the front lines of a new form of economic warfare
This is not the blunt instrument of a traditional export ban. This is a scalpel.
The pattern suggests not reactive retaliation but proactive strategy.
The restrictions announced in 2023, 2024, and 2025 are not isolated policy responses to specific trade disputes. They are nodes in an integrated campaign
Tungsten is not the final escalation. It is another proof of concept.
The question for Western policymakers and corporate strategists and institutional investors is not whether to take this seriously (…) The question is what to do about it
II.
This is not marketing rhetoric from mining promoters or special pleading from industry lobbyists. This is physics.
These properties are not arbitrary. They emerge from tungsten’s electronic structure
This is not an abstract supply chain concern. This is industrial capacity disappearing in real time

Fight for a socialist future or join organisations/actions which do direct action against large pollutors, I’m thinking for example about Ende Gelände in Germany.
yes, fytoplankton, but those are plants too. THey’ll be extinct in +/-500 years because of the ocean acidification, which is a result of the sea absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Yes, but also capitalist conditions which make it so that human beings can’t develop normally. For example: look at his clip of snub nose monkeys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yARtExKaIH8
A baby is born, and eveyone is in competition so they could take care of the new baby. If you look at antropological studies of hunter-gatherers, our natural state of affairs shares some crucial elements with this group. A large group of adults which live together and which help eachother with raising a child. This child, as a result, grows up in an environment in which it learns that adults are to be trusted and adults will help them. The current family structure leads to overworked parents which are not equipped for the task of raising a child, which structurally leads to much more conflicts and thus lack of trust (if not trauma).
If we’d organise our society in a way which would correspond to how our species evolved, we’d have a lot less mental health problems.
Just to be clear: this isn’t meant to minimize mental health issues or disparage medical treatments.
