These are all flagrant lies, unsourced yet printed in a newspaper that allegedly fact checks things. The rest of it is meandering panic-bait that treats jail breaking LLMs. They donโ€™t even describe the virus! They just said someone made one. Bullshit!

Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

'โ€œYesterday morning, I was broken into again for the tenth time,โ€ says a business owner in downtown Portland.'

I checked on this - the business owner is Amy Nichols, a Republican running for office in Clackamas County who withdrew her sponsorship of the Portland Pickles over LGBTQ representation

Amy Nichols runs a bar near PSU that students have boycotted because of her publicly bigoted stances

David Frum, Douglas Murray Secretly Drafted Speeches for Israeli Ambassador Leaked emails from former Israeli UN Ambassador Ron Prosor show David Frum, Douglas Murray offering to write his speeches and a CNN producer fundraising for Israelโ€™s Iron Dome during Israelโ€™s 2014 war

Fascinating report just released by DropSite which reveals that David Frum, while working on a profile of an Israeli ambassador to the United Nations for the Atlantic, was also shadow-writing speeches for that same ambassador.

I think there are still shared norms we can appeal to when we talk to the marginal MAGA voter. But there really are no shared norms left with the core of the movement.

Ironically, being on the Left politically means being on the right side of history and humanity. Meanwhile the Right is just wrong. Like in every way and about everything.

And another thing. Theyโ€™re buying โ€œ6 gigawatts of chipsโ€ is total nonsense. Absolutely meaningless! Stenography. Why arenโ€™t they saying how many chips? Is it because nobody actually thinks theyโ€™re gonna get mi450s out the door next year?

In even the kindest terms, this appears to be AMD swapping its stock for chip sales? But only when the purchaser successfully installs them? This is terrible for shareholders, diluting the share pool of an indeterminate gain, other than the initial stock bump

This is all complete nonsense. How are they building the capacity? Who is paying for it? Data centers take two and a half years a gigawatt. No real money has changed hands! Bullshit galore

It's said that, in military affairs, professionals study logistics, amateurs study tactics.

Way down the competence rankings you get focus on grooming and fitness.

Saturday Pauper Challenge 5-Oct; 47 Players. Dimir Fae wins the challenge after no significant results for a while. The lack of Jund yesterday meant it came roaring back today as most in top 32 (7). R Madness is back to the red deck of choice but the one Rally Red still top 8'd. #MTGPauper
