The king unilaterally sends troops into a foreign country to steal resources and then keeps the money to use as he pleases. Just as the founders intended. Thanks John Roberts and GOP!

Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

This this this! If I run an oil company and care even a tiny bit about LONG TERM business, I want no part of this nonsense. There is no guarantee that whatever Venezuelan government exists in the next few years will allow them to continue extracting oil. There's not even a guarantee that the next
If the oil companies and the US taxpayers spend hundreds of billions of dollars to modernize the Venezuelan oil industry, what's to stop the next Venezuelan regime from nationalizing it all the day after, like they did the first time?

On January 6 it is good to remember that everything that has happened in the last year is because the GOP looked at two paths, one that led to possible electoral losses in 2024 and one that led to the possible destruction of the country and chose destruction of country over the loss of an election

Read this very accurate statement (emphasis added):
"prompt injections attacks are UNAVOIDABLE"
Integrating LLMs into your software is by definition integrating security risk. You can't avoid it and crossing your fingers won't cut it because someone out there is going to hack your ass for fun

First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc?
He had no idea.

Sonic is mid across the board. Some Sonic games have memorable moments (e.g. whale sequence in Sonic Adventure) surrounded by a lot of forgettable or worse moments (e.g. Big the Cat in Sonic Adventure), but none are as good as their contemporaneous Mario game

Uranium is very useful for some things, like nuclear power. It's also incredibly dangerous in the hands of amateurs and can be used to do horrible things, like nuclear weapons. As a result, we tightly control who uses it and how it can be used.
