I already share a name with a fairly famous (although now deceased) comedian so I doubt it.

It was small potatoes…

Yeah I believe it’s sign language for “I’m an incredibly narcissistic asshole”

One that’s trying to cause riots so he can declare martial law.

This is the equivalent of saying people prefer a dried turd over a puddle of vomit. At least the turd is easier to get rid of.

Or just give all your money away to poor people. By my calculations that would be about $25k per poor adult.

Not to sound like a tankie but China has made smarter decisions with regard to power generation. The current shift away from renewables (and shift back to fossil fuel) AND more reliance on central power generation are great for billionaires but just dumb for every other reason. And with the what appears to be advancing in battery technology more distributed solar cells with local storage would free up more power for the power hungry data centers. Not to mention the AI programs there are not run by douchebags like Sam Altman and Mustafa Suleyman.

I also think the current path of AGI study via more advanced LLM research is the wrong path. A language generator is never going to be “smart”. But what do I know, I don’t have billions of dollars and lie constantly.

“Ask nicely and don’t be a twat” sounds like an awesome t-shirt.

Brain damage?

Nothing

I was driving to the store on Sunday around 5:30ish and I wondered why it was so dark. That’s when it hit me. The only clock I have in the house that doesn’t set itself is the coffee pot and I rarely drink coffee.

Fuck Spez

Well that’s just depressing. I mean true but still depressing.

Well yeah, you’re 100% right about that.

I was generally referring to Trump and Jan 6.

8 years… ha ha ha!!! I know you said at least but I’m not sure will ever truly know how much they’ve fucked things up. I’m 55 and I doubt it will be fixed before I die.

And if they don’t put some guardrails with some serious teeth and consequences to fix all of things most politicians generally followed in good faith it’s just gonna happen again. I’m seriously starting to believe the American experiment is over. Late stage capitalism, tribalism, and any appearance of empathy have killed it.

And anytime a wall looked a little weird I’d be trying to smash through it.

“Tariffs are affecting everything”

Gee, ya think?

I’m guessing they don’t see the irony of this strategy…

Oh his doctors know some shit but the issue is nobody will do anything about it because as soon as they do the house of cards will fall. I expect his inner circle has had to walk him back from the precipice several times. And there’s the rub. His handlers actually control most everything he sees, and when they don’t he sees riots in Portland from several years ago and thinks it’s current. As soon as he gets 25’d they lose all that power. Kinda like what was going on with Dianne Feinstein. She was barely lucid at the end and was being puppeteered by her staff.
