I wasn’t impressed even before that. 14-year-olds can code, some of them. And some are skilled in some ways. But there’s almost zero chance they have the situational awareness to lead serious projects. Just doesn’t happen.

So they need to be part of a team, and if they are, OK that’s cool, but don’t forget to be a kid, too.

This isn’t really news though. Everyone plays Trump like a fiddle, because Trump doesn’t care as long as he gets rich and feels powerful.

That’s because you’re not thinking about everyone else. The question is what message you’re sending to the listeners.

If you choose a word (like “removed”) which is discriminatory, you’re showing your hate for the minority group, and not just for the other person. And that has an effect on the community at large. Maybe they don’t want to be surrounded by bigots. Maybe they think that’s shit.

So, if you’re gonna have a flame war, pick negative and non-discriminatory words like “jerk” or “fuckface”. Or don’t, and get banned or blocked, if the mod feels like it. Either way.

Dead link. Meh.

I don’t mind listening, no worries, but also I strongly encourage people to block users who bother them.

Mods, if they are good, will try to be flexible, because they recognize and respect various ways of communicating. But that means there is always going to be some trash talking going on. And we can solve some of that with the click of a button.

My personal move is to not reply. If I’m not going to reply, and I know that in advance, then you can cut into my view and nobody will care too much. I might not even notice.

No, no no. Actually the bosses knew exactly what they were doing. We all told them it was a bubble, a giant waste of time and money, but they needed an excuse to bonus themselves so they took it.

Never let lying corporate bosses and their reporters pretend this was a surprise or accidental. They let themselves get swindled and passed the cost onto their employees and customers, because that’s their MO.

Dominating girls sports? Of course that is nonsense. Meh.

Right. The phenomenon of bullshit jobs. If nobody cares what is written, why not automate it away? Meh.

Exactly. He failed us. Repeatedly. He should resign immediately, for failing to represent his supporters, but you know he won’t.

It’s OK to have an opinion. We all have them. Just remember to STFU when you’re uninformed. Or whenever you want to.

The reason is the hype, though. Consumers are not rational, and the Chinese EVs were blocked out, too.

I think you’re buying snake oil, my friend. What is “AI”? Statistical tools have been used in security auditing for decades.

The people riding the AI bubble want you to think things are magically different right now, but we won’t know that until we can get some solid data over the next year or five to do a proper comparison.

The stronger the wording, the harder it is for Trump lackeys to dodge, without contempt charges.

And look, we know Trump and his buddies are pedos and rapists. But it is not what you know, lawyers say, it is what you can prove.

Finally, the goal is justice, and that’s difficult to obtain, but extended public focus on the issue helps get closer. Let Trump try to stonewall. It consistently sucks away his political power.

Hakeem is worthless. Nobody cares what he thinks.

Trump’s pardons are an interesting thing. The more he pardons people now, the less leverage he has in the future, and he needs to hold onto that power for as long as he can. Cuz basically, he’s about to get fucked. The Epstein Files will be coming back into focus, and everyone who already was pardoned now has to testify under oath about everything when Congress calls them in for questioning. And if Trump doesn’t have allies (i.e., people who owe him shit), then he’ll be toasty in short order.

Also, it’s hard to pardon someone effectively if you can’t figure out what crimes they committed. Who was actually employed by DOGE? What authority did they actually have? The DoJ lawyers refuse to explain that, because it would expose them to liability. So, because the legal landscape is ambiguous (from the DoJ’s perspective and intent), the pardons themselves are likely to miss large swaths of criminal activity.

If Sam believes that, will he replace himself with AI and retire already? Pretty please? … It’s so easy to catch the ultra-rich in their lies; they simply can’t be bothered to speak believably.

It’s a great experiment. You mean it may not scale up, which is a different thing entirely.

Everyone knows why. If people can’t afford food and houses, it doesn’t matter what happens in ten years. You know this, I know this, it’s basic reasoning. So don’t waste our time trying to undercut voting efforts.

Sigh.

I’m not following. Are you saying that Democrats could be easily confused with Nazis in large numbers? That’s a weird thing to say… After all, she just got thrown out of the state party. She lost in the primary to someone who’s definitely not a Nazi.

So it sounds like you’re floundering, trying to stereotype the party and failing to do so.

Of course the corporate Democrats are worthless, as are the centrists. Lots of bad shit going on in the party. But not so many Nazis, my friend. You got the wrong party.

Remember, this is not real news. She’s a loser. She lost. She means nothing, and her opinion means nothing. And that’s OK, no worries, it happens in politics… But the pundits want to make it an issue so voters forget about the issues that matter (health care, education, clean water, ending wars, etc.).
