Eerie how similar Alfred Hugenberg and Elon Musk stories have become:

Owning a big media empire ✅
Helping authoritarians to power ✅
Serving in the cabinet for a while ✅
Destroyed by this move within months ✅

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

and they want to do it ...

... in *a few months*

I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...

everything about this new Meta AI bot is so dystopian but for me the AI-generated images of nonexistent donated coats is up there
AI-generated image of boxes of coats for donation with a caption that reads “kicking off the new year in service of our community”

This was written, edited, and copy-edited by people whose job is to understand and explain what is happening in the world.
Luigi Mangione, who was arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, once belonged to a group of Ivy League gamers who played assassins, a member of the group told NBC News. In the game, called "Among Us," some players are secretly assigned to be killers in space who perform other tasks while trying to avoid suspicion from other players.

"To build lasting value, you should plan for the rise of AGI-ready products, and for selling to the AGI".

Newest fun "correlation or causation" puzzle. Are the cars dangerous, or is it that they have always been marketed to people who can't drive?

(Forcing a shitty screen, stupidly dangerous Tesla gear +all other Musk distraction on you)

Even this lifetime ScienTeslagy fanboy-crowd PR is saying it now:
