Sure apartments are woke. Didn't you hear that speach (CPAC I think) about how the further people live off the ground the more likely they are to become left wing?

Really useful. A defender could argue that it wasn't surprising he would appear in there from 2015, but the fact there were still a lot of references earlier, albeit the reminder has no excuse.

If training is the big energy draw (and therefore the really expensive part for these companies presumably) then is the reason they plan to do so much because they're in an arms race? We know they don't care about accuracy or not telling people to kill themselves, so why keep training?

I know my literalism can be boring, but among other things, sex worker has the same number of syllables as one of the other words he used.

That said, the behavior of elected party reps is a more important test than a comedian who did some gigs for a candidate.

And epicly complicated sex selection systems.

I suspect that in a full accounting, the only action in world history of similar scale of harm will be starting World War II, although I'm open to correction on that.

Unopposed, so not a tremor of a national poltiical earthquake?

I'll see myself out.

Wouldn't it be better if he picked most of the coaches, and those he didn't pick dominated?

Chuck Feeney kept his donations secret for decades, so I'm not sure how good the PR was. There are other examples of anonymous donations large enough the donor must have been a billionaire or close to it.

The Democrats supported the equivalent of taxing billionaires for maybe a quarter of their history. Compared to the Democrats of the 40s maybe this is right, but the Democrats' agenda today is far more progressive on most counts than in the 90s or most of the 2000s.

There have been a few who became billionaires but then started giving the money away in earnest, so it's not like it's impossible. It's a tiny percentage, but if she got through to one, even temporarily, it could do a lot.

If New York used instant runnoff voting for the general election as well as the primaries, it would be fund to see how many real Democrats put Cuoma below Silwa (after Mamdami of course).

Then again, if that was the case Adams wouldn't have dropped out, so there'd be multiple options for last.

I wonder how that lawsuit would go. "My boss was too supportive of me and let me make my own mistakes, and I'm really humiliated that I stuffed up a bit and I didn't even get fired for it, just encouraged to learn from the experience."

I will confess that I have invested no time in learning how to use AI effectively. However, my best friend did most of a PhD on building an early form of AI. i've listened to him and a lot of other people who have invested a lot of time, and a great many of them disagree with you.

If we were willing to up our spending on research even modestly we could make this country the global center for vast areas of science, particularly anything immunology related. We have the background, they don't need to learn a new language and the weather's nice.

You mean the app whose founder's adult stepson just got charged with attempting to have sex with a child?
