You know Trump was hoping Air Force One got shot down so everyone thought he was dead and then he could miraculously appear. (It would also eliminate a jet he hates, and a whole bunch of people he hates as well.)

No idea if this even would work like AI claims, but the prompt was: Make me an image of a computer with serial connectors starting with pcmcia all the way to usb-c. You gotta think there's at least a shorter path.

Sherman tore open a brand new kibble bag again, even though he's got kibble in his feeder any time he wants it. What the little bastard will lose for a day or two is the gooshy food he gets 2x a day, which he loves. He understands this but is still unapologetic. #cats

The fundamental problem is that the world now knows the US can make a Trump-like decision again (we did it twice), so future leaders will be severely limited in what they can accomplish. No US promise can ever be trusted if in a few years a crazy person can come in and say all deals are off.

This has been obvious since (before) the beginning. For the Strait of Hormuz to work, a whole lot of things must operate correctly. But that complex system can be broken with ease if someone nearby decides they want to -- especially if the clear alternative is, you know, annihilation.

Is it just me, or is it horrifyingly absurd that the entire planet is on tenterhooks based on the rapidly disintegrating brain of an evil lunatic? That doesn't seem like it should be possible, right?

This was my reaction to this ad too. This blatant surveillance system, like AI, is desperate to find any possible way to mask its nature from the public. Pure cynical propaganda from Amazon.

Which makes you cringe harder, when Tony Romo says "exspecially," or when he circles the wrong guy while recapping a play?

Curtis Yarvin: "Without a full-blown autocratic takeover, he believes, a backlash is sure to follow.... he quoted the words of Louis de Saint-Just, the French philosopher who championed the Reign of Terror: 'He who makes half a revolution digs his own grave.'" www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

The trouble with everyone blaming the non-release of the Epstein files on Trump being in them is that there are many other rich, famous, and powerful men who are equally opposed to their release, and are doing everything they can to support Trump keeping them hidden.

I hated James Comey before you did, since he tried to force all encryption software to have a "backdoor" for government use. (All this does is ensure that encryption will be perpetually insecure.) Feb 2016 www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-dir...

🧵1/3 I gotta admit I was completely surprised by this MAGA kerfuffle about Jeffrey Epstein. I knew that MAGA is a cesspool of conspiracy theories but assumed they’d stay away from that one because, well, its most public and documented dirtbag is their orange god.

AI is a minor part of this. Tech companies are laying off everyone because they no longer need to innovate. Their market dominance means they can just keep selling the same stuff without all of the people who helped build the companies. Just taking the profits like any good capitalists.
