Integrity and decency are strategies, not abilities. You can choose to be decent, you can't choose to be charismatic.

Out of the total number of US voters, some 32% voted MAGA. People must stop going on as if half the US is on their side. In particular they must.

Yeah, and we should call the top of the line car engine "Hyperdrive"

Talking to LLMs about subjects where I have expertise has vaccinated me against any hopes of their usefulness.

I don't really share the fear of LLMs stealing everybody's jobs, since they don't actually work as people imagine. But I fear for people who have slight tendencies for schizophrenia. They will not be able to deal with them. And the people who would otherwise join cults (though they often overlap).

If I had Elon money I'd end hunger, and if I get any change back it's nukes for Zelenskyy.

If a man causes an unwanted pregnancy - penis amputation.

Or ‐ How are you going to impede men's health and independence as fair compensation?

Money is not the problem, the problem is that when it grows it becomes a terrifying beast that we worship like idiots instead of reining it in.

We need to limit what you can do with money by strong anti-corruption laws and anti‐trust laws. And Stronger environment protection.

The days when Internet meant keeping in touch with reality are far behind us though..?

What other thing than morals should be legislated??

Currently all billionaires are philistine morons. Art is only ever that expensive if it's a status symbol for them. Van Gogh's paintings belong to everyone and should be in museums.

Nobody would ever pay trillions for a piece of art, it's a disingenuous example. And the Van Gogh only sold for that sum because someone had ridiculous money to spend. Van Gogh died destitute.

Nobody could do that on their own. They would build on innumerable other people's work.

The re-emergence of actual fascists is more connected to this than is fun to think about.

We need to make it completely mainstream to say and think that there shouldn't be any billionaires at all. They seriously don't benefit us at all. No single person could be worth thousands of times the value of other people's work. It's impossible.

The more judges there are, the harder to flip it hard during a single presidency

Definitely.

The second half of the presidency will fit in the box with him.

They are going to extinct themselves. It's not the women's fault that the young men are unappealing.

Money doesn't produce food and housing. Money is an abstract system to exchange the value of different kinds of work. The banking & interest/mortgage/investment paradigm is a computer virus on humans' basic barter and trade system. Food and housing are the prime value carriers.

If the 1% build an automat society where all they do is pass money and tech between each other, why should the rest of us care? We are too many to ignore - if we take control of food and housing production we can make or own society without them.

We need to establish that if you buy a product with AI generated content you have a right to a list of all works used in the dataset, delivered in physical print. If not supplied you have a right to the money back. Come on EU, GDPR update time!

How lucky Trump is to have this inflated bullshit going on just when he needs something to counterweight his braindead "trade" policies.

Absolutely yes. Infidelity is not a crime in any civilised nation.

Maybe because adults adulting on adults is a bit different than on kids

The thing is that capitalism excels at non-essential stuff where creativity has room to play, but stuff that is life-or-death you aren't really a customer at all, you're a hostage of the first supplier, and there is noincentive for fairness. Different problems can have different solutions.

It's kind of obvious we're over the hump with regards to AI hype now.

It's not going to deliver on its promise. It's not going to "develop sentience". It's not even going to save a lot of money except temporarily for stupid, overly trigger happy middle management.

Sorry, but the current regime including the SCOTUS must be deposed before any of this has any chance of fair treatment whatsoever. It's not a way there.
This is one for the history books.

It's just him until they hear him - telling them what to think...
