We should do our best to increase visit frequency

That looks peaceful.

Oh wow thanks for the heads up!

The worst thing about podcasts is the number of times one has to hear the word “podcast.”

Well isn’t this the pot calling the kettle black… imagine that, someone stole from the folks that stole everything from everyone else.

News of DeepSeek training on OpenAI is exciting because we’ll now get to see how bad AI is when it runs out of human art to steal and has to resort to garbage in garbage out “learning” (which was always the inevitable ceiling, cool that we got there this fast?)

This isn’t the first time Trump changed something from “Mexico” to “America.”

Remember who he said would pay for the wall?

Plastic straws

Dems: No plastic straws for you!
GOP: Then no Democracy for you!

The Gulf of America is situated between the skulls and the pelvises of the GOP.

Pam Hemphill, a J6er who has since expressed serious regret for what she did, says she will not accept a pardon from President Trump.

“I committed a crime.”

It takes a village, people

Who wore it best?

Elect a clown, expect McDonald’s.

What is socialism, if not the state owning the memes of production

“Bookmarks” and “remove follower” already please!

But hey, who needs to moderate content?

It’s clear that boomers never had to worry about the banhammer.

Screaming crying throwing up at the dream of reconnecting the United States by commuter rail

So everyone “feels better:” 40% of that would be for GenAI. $48-$96 billion annually.

Generative AI startups get 40% of all VC investment in cloud amid ChatGPT buzz Venture capital firm Accel says that funding for cloud startups is set to rise 27% in 2024 thanks to a boost from AI — the first year of growth in three years.

“Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta are each investing an eye-watering average $30 billion to $60 billion in AI per year.”

Imagine all of the art that could be made with $180 billion dollars a year… but sure. Film budgets are too high and film crews are too expensive.

Proclamation Suspending Entry of Aliens Who Present a Risk to the U.S. Labor Market Following the Coronavirus Outbreak

President-elect Trump told The Post Saturday he supports immigration visas for highly skilled workers, appearing to side with Elon Musk in the roiling intra-MAGA debate on the issue. “I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.

Today, defending Musk, Trump claimed he "always" has supported H1B Visas. But on June 22, 2020, Trump issued an executive action suspending H1B Visas because he said the program was taking jobs from American workers

Son, one day all of these in-app purchases will be yours.

I’m on The Two Towers for today.

It’s funny how the GenAI stans keep lecturing us about artists being gatekeepers but in the next sentence talk about how THEY are “learning AI” to make sure they have the few jobs that will be left once artists are replaced.

GenAI replaces artists with actual gatekeepers.

The ONLY reason Trump picked Marco Rubio to be Secretary of State was so his daughter-in-law Lara Trump could be appointed to that Senate seat without being elected.
She will run the Senate, essentially.

Interesting article on AI, and particular the resources it needs:

This kind of technological “solution” is competing against us for resources. To what end? So we can make art without artists?

Only a soulless technophile would envision such a dystopia.

AI is a solution in search of a problem.
