Ftfy: America is once had been a welcoming place.

How about California cancelling paying federal taxes in turn? This would probably lead to a big loss for the federal budget, wouldn’t it?

YT is only usable with ad blockers nowadays. And then it does not make a difference if you have a subscription or not.

I would subscribe YT if they had a reasonably priced ad free tier, but if it does not make a difference, I’ll watch it for free.

I’d love to at work, but I’m using some win-only software with a f-ed up licence manager that I cannot stuff into a VM.

So I could have a usable machine at work? Good. I am forced to upgrade from win7 to win11 in the lab, and current win11 crap did not appeal to me at all. And it has WSL, so at least it can actually be used for work.

How about using that money to further education for all?

I’ve read that article. They used something they called an “MRI for AIs”, and checked e.g. how an AI handled math questions, and then asked the AI how it came to that answer, and the pathways actually differed. While the AI talked about using a textbook answer, it actually did a different approach. That’s what I remember of that article.

But yes, it exists, and it is science, not TicTok

It could have been the US under the current president degenerate-in-chief.

Only if the also take the full legal responsibility for the AIs actions.

When all is settled down, DOGE won’t have saved anything remarkable, but they will be on the receiving end of so many lawsuits that the government will have to pay for till kingdom comes…

Who would have thought that this asshole makes the worst choice for an ethics agency.

He probably got the job because he fails to see Trumps corruption, grifting, crimes. and enriching as a problem.

They probably made enough money by now.

He and the conservative think tanks, the bribing billionaires, etc, are the “deep state” they describe. It is just projection.

He broke with Trump over the Big Beautiful Billionare Enrichment Bill? Was his cut not big enough?

It was a simple decision: either Coca Cola pays money, or they don’t, and other people become victims. The first option was cheaper.

If a business cannot survive without breaking the law, then it is not a business but a criminal organisation.

Indeed. Simply that. If a business is not sustainable without breaking the law, it is not a business, it’s a criminal organisation.

“This sherrif is a poor, innocent guy right like me. A bit of bribery is not corruption or criminal. See, I got this nice plane from those brown guys, it’s just a gift to me, nothing else!”

It is interesting to see a country dealing with infectous/transmittable diseases by sticking their fingers in the ears and singing “LA LA LA” at the top of the voice.

At the moment, what they call AI is still just an LLM, a Large Language Model, or, in other words, a parrot with a large dictionary.

It is anything but smart.
