"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

About 3000 demonstrators today! Marquette is about 20k so this was huge turnout. Wendy’s all the way to the former Pizza Hut, layers deep! Good vibes among peers! Organizers did great job providing workers to control parking, keep business driveways open. Lots of honking, waving and cheering!

If one person claims it's raining and another insists it's sunny, the media's job isn't to give them equal airtime-it's to check the facts and report the truth.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.
