folks really need to accept that "lawful" and "lawless" don't matter, what matters is being able to marshal and deploy force (force of capital, the force of arms, the force of a crowd...) none of the people running the country right now give a good goddamn about the law

Seeing a lot of comments from people upset with Senate Democrats.
I think people need to understand that right this minute, Senate Dems are considering launching an aggressive plan to discuss maybe developing a plan of some kind which might or might not be aggressive.

These are definitely concentration camps but they are ones thoroughly rooted in the American tradition, not the German one. The Nazi kz system did not start "innocuously" or this way. Read about wild concentration camps.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.
On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

U.S. megacorps dump mountains of cash into AI, get shown up by a Chinese startup operating at a tiny fraction of the cost, and this guy's takeaway is we need to invest even more in this money pit rather than that our corporations are corrupt. Cool!
The DeepSeek announcement from China has been called by some AI’s “Sputnik moment” for America.
It’s precisely why I made AI a top priority in the last Congress and will keep at it.

The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M.

Capping how much wealth any individual could accumulate would go a long way towards solving some of our most persistent social problems and it is ridiculous that it is impossible to have a serious mainstream discussion of the idea.
