Mmmm I support Palestinians but im not a fan of that sort of imaginary friend

That was very fucking serious, but cancelling federal legislative elections is absolutely a very fucking serious escalation in a different axis.

Glory to the Palestinian resistance

If we do end up annexing Greenland, I expect those fully automated motorized goalposts will be moving at great speed before the effort even kicks off.

The actual point of DOGE was to just backdoor and/or datadump as many government databases as possible and give them to Palantir. That’s it. That was the entire point. Everything else was simply theatrics.

I’m absolutely struggling with a sense of professional ennui as well. I feel simultaneously furious and horrified that so many engineers have so wantonly discarded any real ethical considerations from how they conduct themselves and what work they do. And I know why, too: because for the most part, it’s just become a constant rat-race to stay ahead of layoff waves. And the roof cause of that is the profit über alles mentality, exacerbated by fucking finance and business types running everything under the sun these days, and those people answer to VC and PE for the most part.

I don’t have a constructive answer for you. In fact, if you figure one out, let me know.

Tbh I’m a bit surprised he didn’t try this at some point last year

Glad I ditched them a few months ago :P

I’ll believe it when I see it. Also, he’ll just do it anyways, so I’ll believe it when something occurs to actually and concretely block that from happening. Because Congress has as much backbone as a sea cucumber at this point.

This is both frustratingly symbolic and meaningfully symbolic. More would be better. But even a single soldier is a serious and important symbol of commitment and literal “skin in the game”.

It is so unbelievably comically ironic

“Some”

In terms of escalation with Europe: next would be any European territory in the Caribbean / Gulf of Mexico (e.g. BVI’s; side note: no fucking way will I ever use the regime’s idiotic rename of that body of water), then any European holdings in South America (e.g. French Guiana), then straight up annexation of countries in central/South America. Then probably an attempt to sweep up any other extraterritorial European enclaves in other areas (Canary Islands? The Azores? Who knows?).

This is what “sphere of influence” politics means. This is the new reality.

Computer, end program.

Computer, door.

Fuck.

This is so fucking dumb. All this is saying is that the researchers do not understand what LLMs actually are - that is, that they’re essentially just a bunch of markov chains layered on top of each other. They are not sentient or sapient.

Stop fucking anthropomorphizing LLMs

Fuck you, Newsom. Eat shit. You’re not the caliber of politician we need or want, and you never were.

Tbh the governor should deploy the MN national guard to discourage ICE from existing in the state

Sounds like someone’s not using the poop knife
