This encroachment of so-called “dynamic pricing“ into every facet of everything is ridiculous and wrong. Applying it to food in grocery stores is abuse.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."
The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.

This isn't far off, and we saw the same thing during the NFT gaming craze.
Big publishers believe they need to say that they're investigating AI to keep investors happy.
Angel investors who invest in small companies are more interested in hitting the AI grand slam than they are in shipping a game.

My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

If evidence has been destroyed, juries are instructed that they can assume that evidence would have shown the defendant's guilt.
The Trump administration releasing only a portion of the Epstein files, and blacking out so much text in the files they did release, is clear evidence of Trump's guilt.

the history of surveillance tech is always predictable-the “serious crimes only” limit justifies initial adoption, then disappears with little opposition
Dallas PD to expand use of Clearview “to Class B misdemeanors and above, which means it could use facial recognition for crimes like theft and trespassing.”
Dallas Police to expand controversial facial recognition tech to less serious crimes
The use of the tech is currently reserved for serious felonies like murder, kidnapping and rape. Now it could be used for porch pirates.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
