I wouldn't say I liked it, but just on the merits passing a bunch of tariffs that he didn't remotely understand, all of which made everything at the grocery store cost either $7.99 or $13.99, really was one of President Trump's better policies.

Anybody who doesn't immediately understand the ethical problems with using AI to depict people doing things that they never did is unfit for society & needs some kind of retraining, forget about government. It's so obvious that due to AI someone will be killed for something they never said or did.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

*listening to a parakeet speak my own voice back to me* This animal is clearly having very deep and complex thoughts about the world.

Matt Taibbi post on X, commenting on how "interesting" it is that AI programs are "recognizing (and even disclosing) their own built-in weaknesses. It tells us a lot about how they've been programmed and why." This is in reaction to a ChatGPT post where it responds to a criticism Taibbi had leveled at it, w/r/t underweighting primary sources.

My favorite part about all these publications writing about a "high-speed rail line" that will "go from LA to NYC in 72 hours" and be "operating in time for the World Cup" is that literally none of them stopped to look up the fact that Amtrak does this trip in less time right now

According to the official White House account, the US is in the midst of an "insurrection" that warrants federalization of the National Guard, which is why the President is attending a UFC fight and hanging out with Dana White.

The White House has tweeted a video of Trump at UFC hanging out with Dana White right after retweeting Stephen Miller saying the US is experiencing an insurrection in LA.
