Great. Now i can get that “real book feeling” of wrestling the books pages to lie flat enough for me to read them as I lay down.

I’m noy saying money doesn’t matter, but Kamala Harris outspent Trump by, like, 2:1 iirc in 2024 and still lost. Clearly money is not the only factor.

So you’re saying that thorn guy might be on to somthing?

There is no universe where that guy was going to be Trump’s successor. Nobody likes him, he’s only there now because Peter Thiel believe he will allow him to replace humanity with robots or something.

No. Go read the source material more carefully. I’ve checked like 5 of the trackers and not a single one I’ve read reports a single actual, verifiable death. Ita pure math. That doesn’t mean there aren’t deaths, it just means this is a purely mathematical estimate. The discussion should be “is this estimate reasonable”, not “lets assume this estimate is reasonable and talk about how bad Trump is”.

I mean, you’re have to be pretty good to lose that hard… or buy penny stocks or something.

I’m not sure I’d go to them for advice…

I add a chatbot to it.

Maybe she is a. “true believer”. I suspect she’s preparing herself to run for a state-wide office. Maybe I’m a cynic.

I’ve been waiting for something like this so we can see who’s heads roll when AI fucks up. I figured we’d see doctors and lawyers losing their licenses first, but maybe it’ll be this. So, who shoulders the blame when a program that can’t learn from its mistakes fucks up a quarter of the internet?

She probably wants to run in a state wide position, and therefore needs to appeal to a broader set of people. I doubt she’s had some change of heart.

I used to be a scientist and I’m a science teacher now, and science is 100% a social construct. I could go through examples of how our modern interpretation of science is based on western philosophy that is a few thousand years younger than science itself as a practice, and how this limits the scope of modern science in a materially significant way. I could go into other examples too. But you really should just go watch Dr.Fatima’s two videos “Gravity is a Social Construct, and That’s Okay”, and “Astronomy has a Colonialism Problem” on YouTube, because she does the most phenomenal exploration of the topic, and I could only (poorly) approximate the quality of her work here.

It’s so funny that these two are “negotiating peace”. Like, did they forget the plot line or something? They aren’t at war. Netanyahu bombed the negotiators with the people that one of them is at war with?! Like, they’re two granpas playing dolls on a public stage and everyone is watching.

I suspect the idea that there’s a “backsies” button that can be pressed is delusonal. Whatever comes after Trump will not be the neoliberal realism that occupied the 25 years prior to him. I strongly suspect that the idiocy of Trump’s era will give way to less incompetent right wing populism in the west in the 2030s… Maybe that’s what they’re banking on tho…

It’s ludicrously irresponsible to even use the language of “date” for this. This is straight up a category error. You can’t “date” a chatbot.

Yeah they have rights to their IP, a share of the first 100 billion in profit they might hypothetically make one day, and provide most (all, up until jan of this year) of their cloud service. They also oppose OpenAI’s bid to convert to a non-profit by year end, which a huge chunk of their funding is dependent upon. It really a strange play tbh.

Is it just me or is this shithead in full “throw spaghetti at the wall mode”. This is, like, the third dumbass announcement he’s made this week, which seems high, even for him.

As a teacher, my first question to admin would be “so what do we do when a group of 15 year old boys get it and start flying it around the neighborhood”?

Yes. Lets tie our expansion of desperately needed internet access in rural America to massively carbon emitting rocket launches. Thats definitely not gonna back fire on us.
