Hey #StarCitizen BlueSky folks, any opinions on these theoretical loadouts for the Endeavor? Most of these don't have a final "formal" designation and are pretty self-explanatory as to their function, but I'll explain the idea behind the so-called Oracle-class below

AI-bros use the term 'AI' to refer to LLMs and AGI because they WANT to confuse you; they want you to associate the term 'AI' with those products.
AI just means artificial intelligence - anything designed to execute logic. That word has a wide range of uses that aren't generative or derivative

See this about AI and Bluesky:
This is what they mean when they talk about AI, not genAI. Heck, Bluesky is ALREADY using AI for those purpouses. So calm down guys.
Alright, guess this is the last I'll say about it because I'm a bit sick of it lol

And arrogant.
Ive never encountered a class of people so convinced that they and they alone have the answers to everything, no matter what the subject in question is--from higher education to medicine to art and literature. They might have no training or skill in it, but are convinced they know best

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Former PlayStation exec Shuhei Yoshida says one main reason Japan Studio closed was because the market for double-A games "seems to have disappeared", leaving mainly triple-A and indie games.

Additionally, this is why they make you put your seat back up before take off and landing (so the person behind you doesn’t smack into it as hard if there is a…sudden deceleration.)

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Will the Endangered Species Act survive Trump?
TLDR; probably not
We can expect language changes that weaken the ESA, species delistings based on political pressure instead of science, + eliminating species specialists who would inform ESA decisions.

President Trump has already begun to introduce changes that weaken the Endangered Species Act, a cornerstone of U.S. conservation law.

This is how we stand together and resist any anti-LGBTQ and anti-American policies that are forced upon us.
California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:
"It does nothing"
"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"
Will not comply.
