Epstein’s emails are the end of America as they ruined it
If the evil banality of the world's most powerful people exposed in the Epstein emails doesn't cause a revolution, nothing will.

Our season finale is about the vital role public media plays in the lives of many Americans, how the Trump Administration’s budget cuts could impact those Americans directly, and one small way we’re trying to make a difference. And yes, of course, there is a bidet involved.

Paul McCartney joins music industry protest against AI with silent track
Former Beatle and artists including Sam Fender, Kate Bush and Hans Zimmer record silent LP Is This What We Want
At two minutes 45 seconds it’s about the same length as With a Little Help From My Friends. But Paul McCartney’s first new recording in five years lacks the sing-along tune and jaunty guitar chops because there’s barely anything there.
The former Beatle, arguably Britain’s greatest living songwriter, is releasing a track of an almost completely silent recording studio as part of a music industry protest against copyright theft by artificial intelligence companies. Continue reading...

NOT DISCUSSED NEARLY ENOUGH THIS WEEK:
Trump’s all over the Epstein files so he’s having Venezuelans killed as a distraction. Because of these crimes against humanity, a 4-star Admiral resigned and the British, the Dutch, and the Colombians are no longer sharing intel with the USA.

Here's a list of where it is acceptable to put AI:

Did you notice what was not on the list? Toys.
Non-industry compromised scientists keep saying these models don't become safe, no matter what, but people keep thinking just because the concept of guardrails is mentioned it must work. By definition, it doesn't. This is not something open to discussion, unless you're a paid shill.
"Powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o model by default...tests repeatedly showed that the AI toy dropped its guardrails the longer a conversation went on, until hitting rock bottom on incredibly disturbing topics."

Investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%.

I worked hard, with love, 52hr+ weekly, most lunches working, for 3 years. I was 20-30% underpaid vs market (“the culture” makes up for this?), got burnout with panic attacks, and when faced with exiting was told I’d be replaced in a few weeks and would not leave an impact. You come first, not them.
happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you
