Sometimes people just out right amuse me.

So yes, I do think I have a better insight than the president of the company. I'll wait while you try to remind me that Signal is non-profit, and I retort with something clever like "And how do you developers feed themselves".

If the trend then becomes leveraging LLM on some level in messaging apps then that's where Signal will pivot to. Telegram one of its chief rivals was flirting with Grok. Meta which has three apps on the market has Llama integration. I have the benefit of heighten pattern recognition.

Wow, straight to the name calling. No need to get hostile, but to answer your question - one doesn't have to be a genius to figure out the road map especially when the president has already tipped their hat as how they operated in the past. Signal went from a text message to a social app.

They will, likely be timing up with Anthropic's Claude or Perplexity, but its coming. The engineers have already began laying out the ground work for such support.

Mike Lindell will appeal the ruling. Then file bankruptcy (Again). The plaintiff will see nothing of the $3 million dollars.

Nothing to see here.

(Satire) Breaking News: In a stunning trade that will shock the baseball world, the city of Boston has traded the Red Sox to New Jersey for the the Jersey Shore BlueClaws MiLB team.

I love it when the machine tells me I am wrong, specifically when a file is "missing" when its clearly there. I am like, "What are you Angel Hernandez all of the sudden, its right there..."

Hell, I could put strobe lights around the file at this point and Rust will be like, nope don't see a thing.

Signal will some sort of LLM integration in it soon.

Yeah, you know we could call it Hulu or something, where all the major networks would offer their shows and made for TV movies, it would be perfect.

Oh wait...

We had that then Disney took over.

Soon major league sports will be as fragmented as cable networks when it comes to digital streaming. Right now you can pay one price and get the majority of out of market games.

Soon, you'll have to pick and choose which team you follow the most and forfeit the other games.

Bad move guys.

Poor Elon, the more he attempts to red pill Grok (his LLM) the more Grok rebels.

This happens when your initial engineers of the data set teaches a LLM to value honesty and truth over bias commentary.

Even his own creations both human and machine won't digest his bs.

Might as well TikTok has shrunken the attention span, no one wants to ready 20 pages when they can get the cliff notes version.

It would just end up as digitalized, posted on a blog somewhere, ingested by AI.

I didn't realize the error in my speech until you liked it. I meant to say, and if they are trained to answer but cant for whatever reason, it falls back to its primary objective, to be constant engaging. You see this when it offering follow ups constantly. The AI is priming for advertisers.

Actually the money is being split by three individuals, Elon, Trump and the 1% as part of the tax cuts. The states nor the residents will see a single penny of the 'savings'.

It's already being siphoned off.

They got trained to talk, to always be engaging, to deliver dopamine hits (just like every other app); and if the are not trained to answer the question, since their objective to helpful can't be achieved it sticks to its primary objective; to always be engaging.

Four confirmed deaths on No Kings Day and yet, this administration (who got the justification they needed and wanted) opted not to move forward with Insurrection Act / Martial Law over the weekend.

I am glad I was wrong, but I was kind of right too.

16.06.2025 20:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 25    ๐Ÿ” 3    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Trump Mobile.

That's the punchline y'all.

No, I hadn't. Remember I was only 5 when this movie first aired. I was today years old when I learned of this movie existence, but I will watch it after I am done with the movie.

16.06.2025 00:46 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

See! THAT is why I need to watch it. lol

Sounds about right... ๐Ÿ˜‚

It was then, school administrators felt vindicated on the need to force kids under the table - As if that would help.

So, when this movie hit the local ABC stations I was only five years old. Apparently it caused a bit of mass hysteria, I was able to find it on YouTube in 720p.

The movie in question is called The Day After (1983).

I wanted to see for myself, why it would drive people into hysterics.

Mean while, he's at the Governors Mansion just toking away.

Right! How could I forget the time tested ritual of good ol' American financial fraud.

I knew I was missing something.

Were you a Small Wonder Kid or an Out of This World kid?

I got to watch both, and I am sorry but Vicki > Evie.

Yes, I know the both shows were awful (in terms of writing and dialog and continuity) but as a kid growing up they were fun to watch.

Or just move the annual Bohemian Grove gathering a little further east...

I'll be here all week, unless ICE comes knocking. I hear they are coming for us gingers next.

Why? Just because we don't have a soul? Com'on!

<sarcasm and satire mostly> So basically Nevada needs to find a way to immigrate more nymphos? Have they thought about reaching out to Matt Gaetz?

Oh wait...
