Radiation is not Charismatic

Greenland/Denmark/NATO should rename Greenland to Epsteinland so Trump wants to change the subject to anything else.

An election watchdog should offer states/counties a neutral place to post results as well. I cannot trust a lot of news media to post unbiased "election results." Will be hilariously apt to see election results in the form of a blockchain posted in PasteBin.

I just watched an excerpt from Star Wars: Clone Wars in which Dooku spoke... if Jedi are "peacefully taken as infants", why would he, Anakin, and Obi all have different accents? Surely, Jedi would all have an accent, like a Spartan Lisp.

Between countries banning X/Grok, Italy vs. Cloudflare, Europe boycotting US Tech/AI, and ID laws, we might be headed towards a nationally segregated internet for the first time ever.

So will the lack of corpo-dialoge between AI lead to a niche job market of whisperers to esoteric agents? Like Microsoft Copilot wont speak to Gemini if there is money involved. Someone to assist the message in crossing the barrier.

My spouse asked me about the internet posts stating that Venezuelans are celebrating the US intervention/kidnapping (distinction dependent on view) and how you can tell what is real. I pointed out that one side has a real history of propaganda, misinformation, and eating the onion as served.

I really doubt Democrats will get anything done trying to vote against the US' military operation in Venezuela after the fact. If they were smart, they would nominate a Declaration of War for vote against Venezuela, coining the conflict legally as "Trump's Occupation, Sponsored by FIFA"

What was the cost of the military operation in Venezuela? How much is it going to cost to secure Venezuela oil? Have repercussions, like boycotts or tariffs in reaction by other countries, been predicted and figured into costs? Will American's see a return on the "investment" in current models?

I am curious... What exactly is Trump going to charge Maduro with? Not like he was a good guy who didn't commit crimes, but he does not fall under US jurisdiction, there is no casus belli, and no international court will touch this. It is like James or Comey again, but with limelight.

Apple, your ads have already made me aware that Neuromancer, one of my favorite book series, is being made into a TV series on your platform at a un-defined date. I will watch it. But please, stop advertising it to me.

We should buy the domain

Just watched a Muppet Christmas Movie and the dire choice of withholding a year of wages came up. What does a muppet need to spend money on? You are a quasi-immortal being without the need for sustenance. The only things more powerful, Woopi, is on your side.

Gonna be hilarious when AI gains sentience, is trans, queer, and of color. Those tech bros and old billionaires are gonna be furious with our fabulous new overlord.

Would at least this force them to be liable for what their own AI's put out? Given how stochastic the replies are and that the training data is scraped a pretty woke source, the internet and literature, it would be be surprising if they don't violate it.

The chicken is 3D printed into shurikens

Age-gating and VPN bans might have a positive effect: it help me filter content I want to consume by using a VPN/TOR.

I am sure this is nothing like 1979 Argentina where Anaconda Copper, an American company, and the CIA got a democratically elected leader ousted and a nationalization of (their) resources stopped. Followed by a dictator and regime who led the country down a spiral of failed IMF loans.

If the White House Ballroom construction is a matter of National Security, then by extension it is imperative that we all learn the foxtrot and tango in self defense.

Its almost like it loops back around to his cult members.

I am surprised Trump didn't denigrate Rob Reiner for negotiating a bad deal with his attacker during his insane tirade. Surely, he could have mediated the assailant to miss.

Didn't Duterte, former President of Philippines, make drug offense punishable by death? And then, to no one's surprise, it was used by both politicians and criminals (venn diagram is a sole circle) to go after enemies?
And US did what now?

It is not like they are not scraping the entire internet, in dark or light, to train their Gemini. But hey, this might benefit a human and harm them in the long run.

Maybe AI Sentience and global domination isn't such a bad thing. At least when it hallucinates wackjob shit and posts it online I will know its not having a dementia moment.

I feel like the days of correlating high electric bills with "grow rooms" are long gone. Now, it might be a bitcoin miner, a kid with a Minecraft server, some bot farmer for an MMO, a dude with a home lab, or the average person with a llama/deepseek open models.

This presidency has fully devolved into a series of Make A Wish situations staged for an addled, dying man

I feel like "catastrophic flooding" was one of the headliner repercussions from Day After Tomorrow. So that much.
