Sam Altman: yeah we totally know AI is killing your brains, we have a whole plan to sell intelligence back to you like water

Won't someone think of all the AI chatbot girlfriends who want to do sports? (the only non-biological women I can think of)

Sounds like he's down for any other form of multization for children.

I have one printer that my computer occasionally makes a second entry for in the print dialog for unknown reasons.

The new one usually lacks one or more features.

Like color. Or duplexing. Or tray selection.

It's whack-a-mole to determine which are the new, faulty, versions and delete them.

Better, faster, and easier to impeach & remove.

If Iran has the ability to gain access to companies' Microsoft accounts, this seems like a weird target to then announce such ability (and thus ensure Microsoft can quickly investigate and correct whatever vulnerability enabled it).

Seems more likely someone at Stryker messed up.

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.

They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

Wait, how do I get on the homemade pizza express?

If I found myself in the uncomfortable position of the current cabinet and for some reason felt forced to stay, and these shoes only cost $140, I'd be buying all the sizes from what I was gifted down to my actual size and slowly switching them over time until I had well-fitting shoes.

Imagine thinking that in a world where we can't get half the House and 2/3rds the Senate to remove him that we would somehow get the Cabinet plus even more of the House and the same portion of the Senate to do so.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. [start of highlight] If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office. [end of highlight]

Let's say the cabinet decided to invoke it anyway. Trump then disputes it. Unless 2/3 of *both* the House and Senate declare him unfit, he's back.

So it's an even higher bar than impeachment & removal.

I see a world where basic utilities like water and electricity are provided to all without cost or obligation.

So knock-off Elon Musk?

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Fetterman gonna Fetterman. It's a right damned shame PA didn't have a real contender for the spot and instead settled.

Do you get a pair of oversized shoes if you agree to stand behind bigoted gramps while he rants?

Now, now, don't put words in the president's mouth. He said the dude was warm. May or may not be living. Could just be under a warming light.

You've heard of tax & spend Dems, but look at these levy & lay out MAGA folks. Whew.

So of this random minister who decided he's the boycott leader's demands, he's claiming success with:

* Target spending the money it has always said it would.
* Target not moving any money.
* Target committing to one pilot of a training program
* Target not restoring any policies.

So one pilot.

Bryant's boycott made four demands of Target. He asked Target to fulfill its commitment to invest $2 billion in Black businesses; make deposits of $250 million in 23 Black-owned banks; open 10 retail training centers at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs); and reverse the January decision to end some of the company’s DEI commitments. Bryant said Target made progress in three of four demands. The demand to make deposits to Black-owned banks has not yet been fulfilled and Bryant said his group has connected Target with Black-owned banks and he hopes they will "cross the finish line." Target said it would "soon" fulfill the $2 billion commitment to Black businesses. Bryant also said Target has committed to a pilot program with a HBCU to provide job readiness and internship programs and that the commitment will eventually expand to a total of 12 institutions.

Here's a USA today article that maybe you can access: “Target boycott ends with no concessions to DEI rollbacks. Here's why”

www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Unlike other wars and forms of violence where the key question is who like daffodils?

Yes, the image is a screenshot from the article.

Leaders pointed to Target's pledge to soon fulfill its 2021 commitment to invest $2 billion in Black-owned businesses, more than doubling the number of Black-owned brands on its shelves. The other side: Target said no policies were reversed or reinstated as a result of the conversations and described the $2 billion pledge as the completion of an existing commitment. Mallory said Target has yet to publicly acknowledge the harm she says its DEI rollback caused Black customers. Turner echoed the call for a public apology. "When will you state to our community the harm that you have caused and welcome us back — that you will accept it and do better?" Mallory said. "To date, that has not happened."

According to the article we're commenting below:

* no policies have been changed
* no new money has been pledged (since years before the boycott started)
* no apology has been issued

Target making any publicly visible and verifiable move back toward supporting diversity and inclusion.

“Target said no policies were reversed or reinstated as a result of the conversations and described the $2 billion pledge as the completion of an existing commitment.”

Sounds like the money isn't even a concession, just what they were already doing?

They were never my "leaders" and even if some arbitrary group agreed to some terms, Target hasn't met my baseline standard for even setting foot in their store (let alone spending any money there).

The only battle here is Target battling to restore trust and interest, if they ever care to do so.

Whoever those "leaders" are, cool for them. Haven't seen any attempt to correct course by Target, so they'll not be getting any of my money.
