My bet is on trying to manufacture a war/emergency to grab power.

I can’t imagine Yang supporting Musk on much of anything. The headline is just intended to force people to read by making a blatantly incorrect claim.

Yet…

Hah, that’s a fun one. Fixing it now.

The point is that one would think that Jewish people might have learned that mass murder is bad. That said, Israel seems to have forgotten so it’s unsurprising that a right wing loon like Laura Loomer would also fail to understand the lessons of history.

Come on, no one is this dumb. The senators knew they’d do this from the moment they voted to confirm. This is just premeditated political backtracking to fix as much damage as they can now that they’ve received their reciprocal favors.

And to the extent that they are actually following the federal law, regardless of its constitutionality.

Thank you for providing the extra context. That’s very helpful.

I used fakespot a lot. It used huristics to attempt to determine how authentic a product’s reviews are. It analyzed the reviews for things like repeated phrases, odd review activity like bragading, and other things. It then gave a letter grade to the veracity of the reviews and an “adjusted” aggregate review score after removing any reviews that it considered to be suspicious.

I’m going to miss fakespot. I don’t know how accurate it was but it definitely informed my decisions.

I’m not in any way defending this. This is going to get people killed, including people who are here with legal status. Likely even citizens.

They don’t appear to be accepting just anyone off the street, though. The order talks about deputizing existing law enforcement officers as ICE agents.

So, we’re going to have even more poorly trained ICE officers rounding people up to be sent to concentration camps. People who have no idea how to validate documents. People who don’t understand the different types of legal statuses. People who want nothing more than to round up anyone with brown skin, regardless of their status. People who know that due process is dead because we can’t afford five million trials.

Ignoring what anyone thinks of undocumented immigrants, people with legal status are going to get caught in this. Some of them are going to go to camps. Some of them are going to be deported. Some of them are going to die. There will be more and more “mistakes” with no attempt at remediation.

I have no doubt that even citizens are going to die as a consequence of this.

“Troops” is in the title of this post but not in the executive order. It’s editorializing to make a point.

I got back in touch with a friend of mine who who graduated in the same class as me with a B.S. in Physics. When they learned that I’m an atmospheric scientist, their first question was “What’s the deal with Chem trails?”

Point being, conspiracy theories also infect the educated sometimes.

How about if we just act in the oligarchy’s best interests? I bet a war between India and Pakistan would increase weapons sales and they might even want Starlink! Good for everyone who matters!

Dude… yeah, brush your nose, there’s something on there. Almost got it! There! It kind of looked like cheeto dust.

Of course they are! They’ve engineered their appliances to get the energy star label. If that label disappears they lose their investment because that label will no longer be there to quickly distinguish the efficient products.

I think the disagreement here is semantics around the meaning of the word “lie”. The word “lie” commonly has an element of intent behind it. An LLM can’t be said to have intent. It isn’t conscious and, therefor, cannot have intent. The developers may have intent and may have adjusted the LLM to output false information on certain topics, but the LLM isn’t making any decision and has no intent.

If true, this is a huge step! Congrats to China!

“Strategic stamina” is something that the US used to have but which has disappeared as the country just tries to catch its breath.

It seems like displaying an ad at a stop light would be a safety issue since it makes it so you can onky look at the screen while moving.

You know, I was annoyed by that when I had to pay for an out-of-warranty update but now I’m pretty happy that my car is one year too old for automatic updates.
