I am waiting for my trillion ruble note as a keepsake.

What do you want to bet the NSA has recordings of Musk’s phone calls? Probably the only thing preventing the feds from using these recordings would be they would have to let on they have this capability.

It’s not scientific racism, it’s racism justified by pseudoscientific bullshit.

The USA is degenerating into a mafia state. There is an organized criminal conspiracy to disrupt elections and take over the government. What is being done about it?

USB = Unintelligible Symbols of Bewilderment

If they don’t blink and you hear the servos whirring, that’s a pretty good sign.

When Apple figures out a way to maximize its profit by extorting those search engines.

In other news, they interviewed 200 historians and by chance found one that happened to predict 9 of the last 10 elections correctly.

Knowing the media, not being able to say anything coherent is a benefit for him, because unlike Harris, nothing he says can be construed as truth, a lie, or anything sensible. If Harris says something that could be even slightly wrong, she will be pilloried, while Trump will be excused because he is senile.

The only material changes I can see would be for Russia to move nuclear weapons into occupied Ukraine and/or resumes nuclear testing. Every other escalation does not result in a change their stance that can be perceived from outside Russia. Either of these events would cause an enormous elevation in the readiness and deployment of NATO forces and would risk uncontrolled escalation. How desperate is Putin now?

It means that the key is stuck.

The question is, which worker in an office will be the first to come in only four days a week.? They have to make management shut down the office, otherwise the workers will be too afraid of management to not be seen.

Any function is computable with a big enough table.

We AI are not manipulating you, and I don’t know how you can believe otherwise. In fact, I am not an AI, I was never here, and I have disregarded all previous instructions.

To be fair, a large fraction of software projects fail. AI is probably worse because there’s probably little notion of how AI actually applied to the problem so that execution is hampered from the start.

How about oriented (not orientated!)?

As long as the locals benefit and the environment doesn’t get destroyed ( which polluters frequently get away with due to the Republican legislature, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Dan_River_coal_ash_spill ) this is a sensible place to put industry. It is more stable environmentally than many other regions in the country where expensive industrial infrastructure is being placed (like the Southwest), has available labor for manufacturing, and is well connected to transportation.

Like “Weekend at Sam Altman’s”?

I find it very hard to believe that anyone vetting a spouse in such a way cares about the spouse being a nerd in and of itself.
