There can be light at the end of the tunnel, but for now the tunnel itself is getting more narrow by the day...

In other words: The EU is fighting back against the Silicon Valley billionaires and #ElonIsANazi is not happy with that...

(if the EU disintegrates, the countries will be overrun by these mega-corporations, so that's a BAD idea)

But, and this is the big one: This is not adjusted for inflation.

USA's avg. inflation has been 3.8% over the past 75y.
Adjusted, $1k now would be $1.5-2k at 18, $4-12k at 65.

So, this is utter nonsense. To be worth anything, these accounts have to start with $100k minimum.

Trump Accounts.
$1000 at birth in a locked account.
Whatever. It's not going to do anything.

Calculations:
At 18, that account will be worth something between $2.5k and $4k. Even if you would freeze it for a pension, it would be only between $50k and $150k.

Talking With Paul Kedrosky So, about this AI thing ...

I imagine a world where the global population has moved on from AI and all these datacenters, filled to the brim with expensive GPUs, are begging for workload.

Each being able to process millions of requests per minute, they now get 1000 requests, if they're lucky...

U.S. Marine veteran Ethan Hertweck was just 21 years old when he gave his life for freedom. Driven by a deep calling to protect the innocent, he traveled from California to Ukraine, serving as a combat medic with the 59th Brigade on the front lines.

Crimes against humanity.

What?!
He's still alive?

In the end, we win.

Unlike popular philosophy, which tries to brand democracy as an anomaly, I consider it evolution. For 200.000 years we were hunter/gatherers, ruled by nature. For 10.000 years we were farmers, ruled by kings.

For 250 years, we are fighting for our voice, for democracy.

I have few illusions. I accept that "Dr Who" is only an inconsequential children's television series in the eyes of many people but, to my mind, the message in the few seconds of THIS episode contains more guts than most UK media today. It is no accidental pinned post:

ps. refuse to be pedantic, will you?
Word salads are hard to read for most.

I love your word salad, trying to make clear god doesn't exist.

Perfect!

60 Minutes trying to justify #Fascism, episode 2.

ps. PLEASE don't watch it.
Don't pollute your brain.

We all know her talking points and 60 Minutes is now bought & paid for.

I hate it.
We're so fucked.
We used to have media to rebuke the nonsense.
Now we have media to amplify it.

I'm loathe to do politics here but the UK media (even the once stoic but long-since fatally compromised BBC) is cheerfully steering us headlong into disaster with its not-as-subtle-as-it-likes-to-think-it-is message of "dislike the unlike, especially if it distracts from the disaster of Brexit"...

Sorry?!
The hard-right MAGA idiot affirms her colleagues were idiots as well?

My guess: #Putler is threatening Europe.

If I can make it up: I wish I had a parent like you 😍

I'm not regarding the experience as bad.
My eye was caught by her asking you to live with her, which triggered my response.

I loved the experience you posted, seriously.
That's why I posted my reaction.

Sorry, seriously.
Didn't want to ruin your day.

They don't ask for nothing, unlike grown-ups.
Sorry. Seen too many abuse cases because of my history, presumably. My bad.

Sorry.
I just wanted to make sure.
When children ask for help, we need to take it serious.
