After the shooting, someone said a lot of the CEO’s are afraid to return to work.

Trump: "Tariff is the most beautiful word in the dictionary. It‘ll make our country rich. You go back and look at the 1890s, 1880s mckinley and you take a look at tariffs. That was when we were at our proportionately the richest."

Why is anyone allowed to call these tools “intelligence”? Surely advertising standards should intervene. It’s machine learning, which is really just advanced statistics. It’s not intelligent, and it can’t be trusted to get the sense of a text right. Calling it intelligence is dangerously seductive.

The warning about "decivilization" didn't come after any one of a number of school shootings. It didn't come after January 6. It was after a health insurance company CEO's shooting wasn't received with national mourning:

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

whatever you feel about this you have to admit it's rare for a radicalized man who's frustrated or angry and ready to choose violence to actually correctly identify the source of their suffering, instead of just blaming and killing women and minorities.....

Remembering, as one does, that the last time there was a citywide manhunt the suspect called in his location because he got bored, but then left because the NYPD took too long to get there and was called in by a bodega worker who saw him leaving. The NYPD was busting up a homeless camp a block away.

I'm sorry Star Wars is better than Star Trek now.
You're probably thinking that that's because both have seen such a nose dive in quality the past couple of decades and at least Star Wars has Andor, but ACTUALLY it's because you can type Star Wars one handed and you have a hand free to shoot yourse

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

The government's estimated £72m cost of King Charles' coronation is likely to be 'way off', republican campaigners have said.
Republic says the real cost is likely to be far higher. Even so, £72m "could pay for 27 million school meals instead of one vanity parade for Charles" they argue
