It’s even funnier that it’s an ad for lousier cliffsnotes 💀💀💀

ACA would be the most obvious reason - extending the subsidies was one of the primary reasons for the shutdown in the first place, and because these guys walked, it’s practically guaranteed that those are going away.

They basically rendered this entire thing pointless.

It’s even more not too late if part of the penalty is “destroy all datasets using non-permitted IP and any models trained on them.”

Abbot and Costello monster movies!

Don’t worry, you only sound reasonably frustrated.

I don’t think a lot of this admin really care about anything but themselves. If you look at Vance, for example, he’s involved in buying up farmland after the farmers are bankrupted.

Yay!

I would guess they started with Brazil because a) 50% tariff, b) Brazil has a pretty high poverty level, which means they’re more likely to be hurt in severe ways by dropping exports, and c) coffee.

Tariff money is going to The Epstein Ballroom or smth probably.

Well, I think we need to. Who knows what they’re trying to hide in the walls of that monstrosity.

Epstein files? Bitcoin money? Dead wives? Could be anything!

All of them.

Excellent, good for him!!

They did, but he’s been released!

Is this like “the beatings will continue until morale improves?” ☹️

They were indeed playing Yakety Sax. They also barked at her.

Portland stays winning :D

Thirding this. Was that a thing??

“Using a regurgitation machine that operates based on spitting out the most often used words tends to make for average outcomes.”

You don’t say.

Regardless, it *feels* like it’s been twenty years…

You are 100% wrong, which is why Anthropic settled as fast as they could. They were facing complete bankruptcy on the basis of copyright violation if they continued in court.

Did you think they decided to cough up that money out of the goodness of their hearts or something?

I was there recently and it’s peaceful as can be. Ice agents are apparently terrified of sidewalk chalk and moderately rude graffiti.

Secretary of Deficiencies is just gagging to murder everyone on the west coast, it looks like.
☹️
