Copyright.gov has a SIX MONTH delay for just updating an address online for a copyright already owned. Get rid of Shira Perlmutter. Utter INCOMPETENCE.

As the MOM of a white gamer guy, I can attest he & his friends *work full time,* often in the most menial jobs, to pay their bills & support their favorite pastime! I am deeply offended on their behalf & nauseated the GOP is smearing them. @SarahHuckabee should be ASHAMED.

It’s a good reminder that you can just do stuff. How many positions of power in your community go by default to boomer libs because others don’t go for them? One of my local national forests was advertising for board seats to vote on and direct rural funds within the forest. I emailed the FS and got a prompt reply. I was the only one who had reached out about the position. Previously, the board had mostly been retired hippies from the Bay Area who lived hours away. But because the law favors locals, come 2027, a local right wing conservation chud will be voting on directing those funds. It’s a very small amount of power. But it will only cost me 8 hours a year. Find something to do. It’s easy to blackpill and feel demoralized when you focus on national level issues you have little influence over as a regular person. But what influence can you have locally? Even if it’s symbolic. Hell, my local water board hates our liberal state government so much they voted to secede. 😂 All momentum starts with a small movement. Find yours, American. 🇺🇸

They murdered Charlie, & they think we'll sit out the midterms?? Nobody is sitting out. No matter how many fake accounts/influencers pretend they're one of us.

I'll be voting for the Party that's desperately trying to remove illegals despite resistance from every direction Not the one that hides and protects them in sanctuary cities

II: Illusory Intelligence

It never ceases to amaze how many supposedly educated people do not understand what “the press” means in the First Amendment. It refers to the press in the sense of publishing, historically the printing press. It does not create a privileged class called “journalists” with special constitutional rights unavailable to everyone else. The First Amendment protects the same freedom of speech for everyone, exactly as it should, and, as a second step, the press, as in the freedom to disseminate information, because freedom of speech is useless without the right to disseminate it. This is all very elementary stuff, and yet there are still countless people running around claiming that so-called journalists have special rights.

"Hey, Alexa, play Ed Sheeran's greatest hits." - Me right now. We can't let the crazies ruin all our artists. Support the reasonable ones.

The group behind such hits as: “We’re All Going To Die” and “Regulate Me Now” are building a wet lab in SF. I do not recommend this.

Elon is missing. Since he's gone to the dark side on this, he really should have been Vader.

Its trump. It's always trump. Since he willed himself into existence he's basically been the physical manifestation of the rejection of like 100 years of global hive mind. At first they treated him like a moron assuming the consensus that had coalesced for so many years could never be wrong. Listen to all the dumb ideas this buffoon has!!! Trump 1 was basically him running into these people at every turn. Then came trump 2 and he actually started reshaping globe through willpower alone and shattering the view that only our betters could possibly know how to manage the world to produce positive outcomes. You can't use tariffs they'll be inflationary, because economics tells us so. You can't possibly engage Iran, first it'll start world war 3, and then it'll crash the global energy market!!!! You could never understand the middle east enough to get them to agree to peace. Ha Trump thinks he knows better than the euros about their own defense and energy needs!! Can't stop drug cartels, just can't be done. Cannot bring Latin American countries into the fold either. Theyll never do what we want. Just on and on and on and on and on forever. So you'll see rates get raised cause trump wants them cut, and Trump just couldn't understand how complex financial markets work cause he's too dumb........ Feels like the death throes of this world order one way or the other. Trump beat these losers. Now we just hope the mantle off leadership that was taken off the dying husk of 100 years of global liberalism remains with the team trump built and not with the dregs of the socialists, because that's the two outcomes. I'm confident the good guys will win.

Women have more power now than at any point in history. And they use it to justify killing their babies.

Jensen Huang jokes that he needs to stand on a chair around Marc Benioff and Roland Busch, and that being big is unnecessary especially on airplanes "The two of you guys — you know, look, I'm very good friends with both of you guys. The thing that I was amazed by is, finally — look, when I'm with the two of you, I always feel like I need to stand on a chair." And literally, literally, look at this, I just wanna let you guys know that when I'm on an airplane, I'm a lot more comfortable than you guys. And so, through human evolution, they realized that big is unnecessary — there's about a million years of evolution between you and me." Benioff: "This keynote is making a dramatic turn."

Here is a list of things I think AI should be able to solve before it's dangerous enough to kill everyone: 1) all forms of entitlement fraud - this should be easily fixable by tracking payments and cash flows. Find where money goes in but no services are rendered. Child's play for an all-knowing AI. 2) elderly scam farms - fixed with telephony tracking, payment tracking, find the scammers, empty their bank accounts, sabotage their remote access strategies 3) narcotics trafficking - more money flow, disrupt crypto conduits, track chemicals being used for narcotic synthesis, disrupt those avenues of commerce Compared to "the extinction of all humanity", these are very simple problems to tackle. These problems are a thousand times simpler than killing every person in the world If you don't believe that AI can fix these narrowly banded issues, if you're immediately looking for reasons that I'm stupid an naive for thinking AI can solve these problems in the next 2 years, you have no business believing that AI can destroy all humans by the end of the decade.

Unpopular opinion: Cabin in the Woods is boring AF.

This isn’t about AI safety. They pull this shit off within days of DeepSeek’s newest model basically showing open source is as good as Astra. Fuck off you liars.

All 3 of the most powerful ai model founders in the world have agreed that they should slow down People who aggressively compete with each other That means 1. The open source is killing all of them on cost 2. Out of GPUs 3. Some other financial issue we don’t know

The Stiglerian model in econ views regulation as a commodity. Monopolies are consumers who demand regulation; politicians are suppliers who sell it to them in exchange for political support, funding, or future employment. This is regulatory capture. This is the 'fear AI' psyop.
