  • Yes, that’s the only country besides Belarus (which uses Cyrillic) in a 187-km radius from Minsk. (The road will not be straight of course so the actual area where this sign would work will be smaller.)

    Unless the sign is fake, of course. IDK about Lithuania but Arial is not a common road signage font. Also, why English? Lithuanians spell it Kyjivas and Minskas.

    Edit: now that you mentioned Vilnius on Google Maps, I looked it up and skimmed for a road that might correspond to the direction and infrastructure. Opened Street View and guess what? I found it, first try. It’s real.

    That being said, the actual distance to Kyiv is now over 1000 km for most people as they won’t be able to cross the Belarus / Ukraine border.










  • Yes. It’s not wrong 100% of the time, otherwise you could make a fortune by asking it for investment advice and then doing the opposite.

    What happened is like the current robot craze: they made the technology resemble humans, which drives attention and money. Specialized “robots” can indeed perform tedious tasks (CNC, pick-and-place machines) or work safely with heavier objects (construction equipment). Similarly, we can use AI to identify data forgery or fold proteins. If we try to make either human-like, they will appear to do a wide variety of tasks (which drives sales & investment) but not be great at any of them. You wouldn’t buy a humanoid robot just to reuse your existing shovel if excavators are cheaper. (Yes, I don’t think a humanoid robot with digging capabilities will ever be cheaper than a standard excavator).
