Trump told multiple news anchors today that he plans to call for more corporate tax cuts during tonight's State of the Union
Yeah, man, that'll get people's minds off all the pedophiles and masked goons in the streets.
By his logic we should stop giving Sam Altman food or water became he's been consuming resources for 40+ years and still isn't smart
SAM ALTMAN: "People talk about how much energy it takes to train an Al model ... But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart."
βEvil starts when you treat other people as things. There are perhaps worse crimes, but they begin when you treat other people as things.β - Terry Pratchett
OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever.
One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.
Sam Altman: βThey eat too much cake.β
These are the words of a sociopath who does not value humanity. Also... how many years will it take before you bcome smart, dumbass? Because you clearly don't know what a faulty analogy is.
βThey threw my dad out like an animal, and now I have no dad.β
Paulino Martin San Pedro was an Oregonian. He was a beloved community member. This administration murdered him.

GEORGE RETES: βMy name is George Retes. I was born and raised here in Ventura, California. Iβm 26 years old and I am an Iraq combat veteran. I was going to work like normal. I show up. ICE is there. Thereβs kind of like a roadblock. I get out. I identify myself β that Iβm a U.S. citizen, that Iβm just trying to get to work. Iβm trying to leave. Iβm getting ready to leave and they surround my car, start banging on it, start shouting these contradictory orders. Even though I was giving them no reason, they still felt the need to β one agent knelt on my back and another agent knelt on my neck. And during that time, Iβm just pleading with them that I couldnβt breathe. I was in isolation. I was in basically this concrete cell. I was stripped naked in like a hospital gown. And they leave the lights on 24/7. They just came out and they said that I was violent and that I assaulted agents. Why lie when itβs on video of everything that happened? Why lie?β

This leaves only its image & video generation tools of any value, but having that sector of AI absorb all the costs means making it cost prohibitive. Who wants to pay $500 a month for an image generator? Most initial users have abandoned it when it was dirt cheap. This is not just bad, it's BAD BAD.
For any new tech to gain widespread adoption it has to do multiple things better than the current tech. DVDs didn't just look and sound better, they were smaller & you didn't need to rewind them.
AI on the other hand is less reliable than a human expert. It just gives wrong answers faster. Useless.
"OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits."
This isn't a dead canary in the coal mine, it's a miner. AI doesn't work.

REGULATIONS = PROTECTIONS FOR AMERICANS, HUMANS, EARTH
DEREGULATIONS = ALLOWING CORPORATIONS TO HARM AMERICANS, HUMANS, EARTH

Enjoying seeing multiple posts in a row with this same graph only each one is two hours later and another 2000 points down. Thanks bluesky for sharing the joy of bitcoin crashing (which I otherwise would have not known was happening because bitcoin is dumb and I pretend it doesnt exist).
Please, my magic bean, it is very sick
Solid. AI does nothing I need, it costs stupid amounts of money and resources, itβs bloatware that makes my existing devices and software harder to use, and was built on top of stolen labor. People understand it, they just donβt want it.
Screenshot of an X post by Reverend Raphael Warnock (name truncated, 15h) stating this was always the plan and accusing the use of ICE as a secret police force to pursue political enemies and intimidate voters, urging action now. The post quote-tweets Republicans against Trump quoting Steve Bannon saying, βWeβre gonna have ICE surround the pollsβ¦ Weβll never again allow an election to be stolen.β Below is a video thumbnail of Steve Bannon speaking on a broadcast with two other hosts on screen.
We will not be intimidated into staying home. We will keep the late John Lewis in our hearts as we head to the polls to drive the likes of these ghouls out of power and out of office.
Fellow writers/directors/producers: It is vitally important not only to secure the ladder behind you while you ascend, but also to make sure there are many women on it as well. Mentorship without strings is essential and there are so few real opportunities for women...because of this exact problem.

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits: paid for by cuts to reproductive health care paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid paid for by cuts to SNAP paid for by cuts to clean energy projects paid for by cuts to obesity prevention paid for by cuts to disaster response paid for by cuts to energy tax credits
Or how about this headline β βAmerican citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.β Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.
βDefund ICE or weβll close the airports and the coast guardβ is a better rallying cry than βDefund ICE or weβll starve disabled people and kick patients off life saving clinical trials.β Thatβs why separating DHS out is important.
Nine DAs are coalescing to work on prosecuting federal agents for 'overreach':

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.
All social media should push Miller as shadow president see if any clips could show he thinks he usurps Trump
Don't think T likes it
I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.
