Fucked if I know. I really think these tech bros are mental.

They do, now. Literally, this is the first one. I’m sure they did it to kiss Trump’s ass.

It’s pathetic.

“I think the secularists in Silicon Valley are filling the God-shaped hole in their heart with AGI,” Palantir Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar said in an interview with the New York Times’s Ross Douthat. “It’s like, OK, the models get better. Why do you think that this cliff is going to happen where they somehow turn us into house cats?”

What the fuck is he even saying? Is he saying secularists are embracing AGI or are they afraid of it?

He also said that doomerism is a “fundraising shtick” where companies on the front lines of AI development “can say ‘my technology is so powerful, it’s going to lead to mass unemployment, so you better invest in me or you’re going to be poor.’”

This is nonsensical. The mass unemployment predictions are really aimed at the AI company customers who think they would get richer with fewer employees. The potentially unemployed don’t have significant money to invest in these scams.

Where do they finds these people? But, also, fuck Business Insider and its shitty reporting.

They’re following the conservative playbook. If your ideas are shitty, equate opposition to them with opposition to religion (or patriotism).

The added benefit is to set up their text generators as oracles and the arbiters of religious doctrine. I think I they actually want to control people with these things.

Back-paying furloughed federal employees after a shutdown predates Trump, FYI. That’s been the policy for a long time. It was made a law during Trump’s first term.

Of course, now they are threatening to not back pay them or, at least, omitting language about back pay from letters to furloughed employees.

Nah. He’s been shit since before he became the VP pick. She knows who her husband is. She’s educated, has a career. She could have walked away at any time. She supports him.

I’d have to see proof that she’s horribly abused to the point of living in fear for her life Is she left, before I’d have sympathy for her.

Really shows the limits of AI. It’s orders of magnitude faster to go through the Earth.

No one would marry Miller who wasn’t at least 80% the asshole he is. And, he’s 10000x more asshole than an average asshole.

I can’t do the math but it should be obvious she’s just a massive asshole.

I’d choose M, V, T.

Streamed pirated games and ignored the lawsuit. Made stupid threats “I own the streets”.

Not feeling sorry for this guy.

Microsoft sent a cease and desist, right? Right?

The IOC was quick to assure potential hosts that this turn of events has not affected their position on bribery and corruption. The IOC is still open for business!

Conservatives have a thing for “early access,” though.

They only have problems in Washington DC and, probably, other left-leaning cities. This isn’t a problem for conservatives everywhere.

Hell, I bet someone starts a service to match the DC conservatives with people from Texas or Florida. Mail order dates within the USA.

I would have, too, but would have said something more absurd. Like, go off about how the NYC economy is going to be ruined by aliens and at the end talk about putting them back in their spaceships and shooting them into the sun. Start plausible then go bat shit crazy. See how much they print.

Would be funny if they were Canadian.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to avoid your MIL. I also think it’s reasonable for your wife to maintain the relationship.

Can you use her visit as excuse to take a vacation—alone or with friends—or visit your family? Given the circumstances, I think avoidance is a perfectly valid option. Get some you time if your wife is cool with it.

Someone got their name purged from the Epstein papers, it seems.

Think about how many times in human history a person in a particular place and time could look around and come to the same conclusion.

Shit waxes and shit wanes. So it goes.

Even this shit is a blip in the grand scheme of things.
