The second paragraph of every article about Trump freeing House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files should make it clear that he could order them released himself and chooses not to.

My friends & I all tell eachother that we love one another.
My buddy & I end almost every phone call with "i love you."
The cure for the male loneliness epidemic is us becoming comfortable expressing how much we mean to eachother.
I don't know how to make that happen.
But i'm gonna try.

Its possible that an LLM may be a part of an eventual gAI, but by itself, it will NEVER be. It is incapable by design and by function.
Stop calling LLMs "AI."
It's not intelligent. It is a complex predictive text generation machine.
LLMs operate entirely on the statistical relationship of words; LLMs have zero understanding of what words mean. Zero.
It's an algorithm that mimics intelligent output but doesn't understand it.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

As a cis-het-white dude, my experience with trans folks is that they are a god damn joy.
Being all supportive and bringing light and beauty to my world.
And all it takes is some basic human dignity and respect.
Beyond a fair trade, if you ask me.

The speaker of the house just basically implied the president raped girls under the age of 16 and then tattled to save his own skin.
I’m not saying we know that happened. I am saying that’s absolutely what the speaker is intimating.

Wow. Trump should release the Epstein files and prove how much of a widdle hero he can be...
Or maybe he just does not want us to see what he was getting immunity from.
Or maybe they are shitting themselves and throwing whatever they can at the wall.
Keep the pressure up.
