If it turns out generative predictive large language models (fraudulently described as 'AI') are not actually going to create a return on trillions of investment, then many, many people are going to be very, very embarrassed. And the stick market will lose 2 years of gains
Be honest with yourself. After the last 8 years you're only 98% sarcastic with that comment
Trapped in the 70s frame of cities being bad, country being good. Instead of boldly saying "hell yeah cities are great," which is the truth. Cities are great. Fun, dynamic, high energy.
Just good vibes man
Honestly one of the best retorts I've seen on the internet
Its not in line with the president's priorities and therefore a crime
These accounts have got to be AI shit-stirrers. All they do is respond to high engagement posts with 'but ackshully' comments designed to inflame.
Dead children is just the cost of doing business, if you're of a certain group.
Take out the last vowel, taking out the last vowel is so hot right now BARRL
Crackr Barrl.
Morons treating politics, the art of people, like it's eve online
Yes, but its targeted at a single class of equity holders. Not all, evenly, or targeting the wealthiest. You are smarter than this
AI as currently understood cannot ever work. This is because it doesn't know what is and is not true. As use cases become more profitable, their requirement for precision increases as well and at a similar rate. The more profitable the use, the less appropriate AI is to it. Doom loop.
The source of this, in my oponion, is that there's a concept/culture in social studies academia that changing language changes, somehow, reality. But language doesn't define reality. It describes it. Reality is what is, and changing the language we use won't change reality.
What else would we do with a trillion dollars, come on be reasonable just convert upstate NY into a single data center 300 miles wide, what's the big deal So ChatGPT can do, you know, subtraction (mostly) right
Generative AI is the great filter. Societies develop this technology and stagnate as everything is processed, reprocessed, and slopped up until nothing matters and nothing works.
The wealthy mainlanders I knew had live in parents as nannies maids etc. And they all had drivers who also served as butlers etc And don't forget HK. Big servant culture there
Kids shouldn't be bullied for their differences. But I remember being a 'weird kid' in middle school, wearing weird clothes and interrupting people/teachers. Acting superior. And the other kids ostracized me, and I learned my lesson about socially acceptable behaviors.
One of my personal theories is that anti-bullying campaigns went too far and removed an important mechanism for children to learn what is, and is not, socially acceptable. Kids criticizing each other and having negative peer cues was discouraged.
I personally love German opera. Very grim and gothic
Classic behavior of someone living in a house with a violent alcoholic. "Don't make dad mad"
Very curious your speculation as to what such a gut punch would be, materially. I'm guessing something along the lines of 'I get everything I want and you help me, or the war continues for decades'
Do it, be a legend
A sweet old lady wrote me to ask if I would help her out by signing off Jeopardy! every night saying "Don't forget your night medicine, my friends." I am actively considering this.
This guy is on vacation like 8 months of the year
The answer is: "Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and RFK Jr." "Alex, 'who are people personally responsible for over 10m unnecessary deaths'"
I wonder where Lisa Murkowski keeps all her "Fell for It Again" trophies
So many of these have got to be shit-stirring robots. "Instructions: reply to all posts with a veiled critique of the relevance of the post, attempting to trigger an angry reaction in the poster by implying they are not focusing on the 'real issues' and are therefore bad"
And says out loud " I am bribing you for an official act, I would not give you this money unless I was confident you would perform a specific act we already agreed on" otherwise it's just a tip from a sinister man
The President is elected to execute the laws. Not impose his interpretations on the nation. Trump has broken his Oath.
Very curious how Ukraine responds. On the one hand, peace would be good. But can't trust Putin to hold to the peace. On the other hand, easy for Ukr to blow up any deal with a provocative strike on Russian holdings. War continues, Trump forced to continue funding.
Breaking his oath. Oathbreaker.
An Uber to the airport is $80. A taxi is $30. It takes 15 minutes
Every D who is thinking about a future in higher or highest office needs to be saying that every CEO who bends the knee will be held in custody pending trial (due to flight risk) for felony bribery on day 1 of the next administration. And announce plans to immediately demolish Trump's ballroom
The first amendment protects lying yes
The only way that you could have perfect numbers would be of every hire and fire required sending a form to the feds instantly Yikes
"thank you for holding me accountable"
This was the single issue that made me come closest to a vote for Trump. I shook my head 5 seconds later saying to myself "don't be an idiot, he's lying again"
I recently (last year) moved to a suburb outside of a major metropolitan area, and I'm not kidding when I say everyone here is miserable. These people live in homes most people dream of, have salaries some people would kill for, and they're all angry and flying DON'T TREAD ON ME or Trump flags.
Somehow the most healthy public relationship in the modern media age
Winning by breaking the law and using the power resulting from victory to avoid consequences. That's sort of where we are
I wouldn't tell anyone else how to think or feel, but I will just say that, for me, the only way to stay sane after the 2024 election has been to pretty much abandon hope. The US is cooked. Everything I value about it is doomed. We're heading into a long period of dissolution & chaos.
January 2029, demolition begins. Anything less is not acceptable.
The two parties regularly and routinely vote in diametrically opposite directions. Suggesting equivalence crosses the moral line into evil. Banal evil, but evil nonetheless. Your saccharine, please-everyone analysis is precisely what every evil movement in history has loved as a foil.
It's just a sad coincidence that every single application for AI has been bad or outright criminal
Followed by 1945AA
DO NOT TALK ABUT THE EVENT
Behold the Aryan supermen, the übermenschen, the master race, the one race fit to procreate and rule us all
What would an example of a non-Nazi fascistic group/movement in the modern age?
2. Rare, special, mysterious, powerful
Paul Manafort: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. George Papadopolous: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. Mike Flynn: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. Roger Stone: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. Next up, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Impossible. He wears a stars and stripes pocket square.
🚨🚨🚨 Jeffrey Epstein during a 2010 deposition: Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18? A: Though l'd like to answer that question, at least today l'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.
Figuring out Trump isn't hard, commendable, or notable. 1: Compliment him to an absurdist degree, supplying his narcissism and signaling your submission. 2: Use one of the many established paths to directly give him cold hard currency. 3: Receive your boons from the benevolent Child-King.
Millennia
In the case of police settlements, I'm of the opinion it should come 50/50 from the assailant and the police pension fund. Get an in centimeters in place to kick out the bad apples
I'm going to spell your names b-a-n-a-n-a-s from now on sorry, I don't make the rules
The projected revenues from these projects (justifying the investment) must be the greatest delusion in human history. You would need to replace half the American workforce.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Proposal: let every Sunday become a secular anti-technology holiday. In honor of the original anti-technologists, let it be called "Luddite Sunday," or "Luddy Sunday" for a punny and fun nickname.
If we can use Epstein to break Trump's hold on the Republican primary voting base, we can kneecap him now. Leave him gasping, with resignations, votes to impeach, scandals, investigations, etc. That would mean fewer deaths in the next 3.5 years.
Breaking Trump's cult is hard. And important. I agree the Epstein stuff pales in comparison to the deaths happening now, and will be happening for the next 3.5 years. But the chance to break, really break, Trump's hold on this cult... it could mean breaking his hold on the House, the Senate, etc.
My world is shattered
RIP, best to you and your fam. Thanks for sharing bon mots about your interesting/challenging dad relationship over the years, have helped all of us with similar issues
Geez, they will be so lucky to get her scoops and hard hitting journalism. The world shakes when Bari announces her latest socially transformative article. Oh wait, I'm just checking my notes. Turns out she's never actually published anything important. Just raised money and complained.
Just saying that if you are going to accuse other of intellectually dishonesty, you should be extra careful in precisely what you write. The ADL had obviously gone off the rails, but you shouldn't accuse them of things they don't say.
Hell yeah I am
Glass houses etc
Your tweet is not intellectually honest. You suggest that the letter says all people in NEA that are anti ADL are pro Hamas. The letter does not say that. It says there is a pro Hamas group. When accessing intellectual dishonesty, care is necessary.
Imagine the first working meeting. "You got anything, Bob?" "Uhhh... no, not yet" Months and months of just the most useless zooms
Trump Take Egg becomes Trump Kill Man
Tax cuts on the federal level, but expect state taxes to start to rise.
Patently absurd that the Democrats spent most of last week going after Zohran Mamdani instead of focusing on rallying against the bill
ICE now has 3x more funding than the United States Marine Corps. Our hard-earned taxpayer money. Over $170+ billion handed over, and for what? To rip families apart. To instill fear. To dismantle the very virtues by which this country was built. To help the rich get richer.
There are two reasonable alternatives. 1: Stop being disabled. 2: Die.
Pretty sure after this Bill ICE and associated domestic security forces will have more money, per capita, than China. That's pretty shocking. Expect cameras everywhere. Armed forces everywhere. Guns everywhere. Re-education camps. Forced labor. When these people get money, they spend it.
He taxed US citizens by 20-40% for products from Vietnam and allowed Vietnam to import products for free.
So convenient for RFK Jr that literally everything constantly turns out to be exactly in line with what he already believes. And everything which is not in line... well, let's not pay attention to that
Not wars to the scale I am alluding to. Continent scale. Liberalism has a very good track record. Not perfect, sure. But we win.
A reasonable distinction and highlight, but I think my point stands. The USSR and the allies were a far more liberal leftist coalition than nazi Germany/fascist Italy/imperial japan.
Yep. It's a dark future.
And proudly so.
WW1, WW2, USA civil war, Vietnam, Taiping rebellion, Chinese civil war, the wars of independence in India and South America. In all cases, the more leftist/liberal side won... eventually. Liberals, when pissed off, win wars.
In every major, actual war, in recent memory, the 'liberal' side won. Liberalism fights actual wars very well, because we have more people, better morale, and more resources. This thought comforts me when I think about what might be necessary to oppose these fascists.
Please name for me Weiss' most recent breaking story/scoop
We uh tried I know it isn't enough
The few Trumpers I know are noticing that Trump coming in has led to more actual chaos. They were being fed a media diet that Biden was chaotic, but the reality in front of their faces is proving hard to swallow. They haven't had a eureka moment yet, but LA wasn't burning under Biden.
Don't you have like, a day job dude
Looking forward to pride flags flying from these June 2029
Trump firmly believes, wholeheartedly and without doubt, whatever he thinks is in his interest in the moment.
Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."
I don't think these people are smart enough to actually create an AGI. It will continue to be a plagiarism machine that creates a dead-eyed facsimile of consciousness, but is ultimately a dead end.
It's not the base. It's a strong and loyal demographic constituency of the party.
Germany found the correct balance: don't collectively punish on one hand (many nazi's went back to work administering the state) on the basis of full ban on symbolism.
Do you think there are people in the chain of command who would accept a direct "shoot into the crowd" order? Or does Trump have to couch it in generalities, like he usually does? "Let's get tough," "crack some heads," etc, and hope that someone in the line of command gets the hint?
