Could it be "hazy", which is supposed to mean "cloudy"? The word "cloudy" is often used in Russian for "unclear", "vague", for example, one could say: "Western countries are awaiting a cloudy perspectives due to discarding traditional values".

You can notice one more example of original language leak in the quote from a report ("And she needs politicians...") where Germany is referred to as "she", because in Russian "Germany", as many other countries, has a female gender, so we call it "she", not "it". In English I usually see people using "it" for countries.


In the quote provided in the article, it's used as a noun: "unhackneyed perspective on hazzy". And literally the only thing I can think of is the acronym "hz", which is a rough equivalent of the English "idfk". Like someone prompted the bot to tell them the channel gives a perspective on "something, I don't know what". But even this is a stretch of stretches.


The text could be truncated for some reason. Or maybe "hazzy" is an adjective before the bot link? "Hz" is translated by both Google and Yandex as "don't know".


Maybe they were not as good at the time, or the contractor just used to use ChatGPT. Also ChatGPT can be used without a phone number registration, unlike Chinese models.


As I remember, in Finland everyone is guaranteered an apartment, even if the person has no money.


Could it be because Japan is populated mostly (98%) by people who have lived there for multiple generations under strict rules? Also, it's probably a cultural thing where crime is shamed.


Commercial companies with closed-source software, cloud software will always betray you.


Could these proxies be sold to AI companies for scraping websites?


Cheap Android phones and tables often have built-in advertisement from manufacturer. One example of such software, it creates a window with Google Ads on top of browser window. The window is shown only when the browser is active to make it look like the ads is a part of the site. The ads appears only couple weeks after activation so that the user thinks it is a result of installation of some app and Youtube reviewers do not notice existence of malware. The adware consults a remote config which defines in what countries it should work. Another adware component automatically downloads and re-installs it if it is deleted.

I found all these details through examining the official firmware image and reverse engineering.

I don't remember if I reported Google Ads id to Google. It is interesting that Google doesn't notice and care about such use of their products.


There is a small number of cameras which broadcast the video publicly. For example, Moscow: [1] (Taganskaya square), [2] and Saint-Petersburg: [3] (Nevsky prospect and Gostiniy Dvor). Sadly the quality is not great and in reality those places look much better. For example, many of the small 2-floor buildings on Taganskaya square are over 100 years and have a nie classical architecture but one cannot see any fine details in the camera view.

With high probablity they are actually made in China. I don't think Russia makes their own chips for cameras.


Hungary and Slovakia are largest importers of Russian natural gas in Europe. France is third as I remember.


Yet somehow "preemptive nuclear strike is a valid defense" France is a bit different from Hungary and Slovakia in their stance on Russia.

So maybe natural gas imports aren't the thing that determine the outcome.
