“I used to hear about how people didn’t like me. But now that I’ve fired anyone with any integrity or enough common sense to know I’ll fuck them over eventually, I only hear good things.”

Palantir is a mysterious and powerful data analytics firm

… And its mystery is exceeded only by its power?

I’ve heard good things about Pimsleur

Look. He had the stupid tariff idea. He liked it because he likes the thought of getting his way by punishing people who defy him. That’s how he sees tariffs. It wasn’t a good idea. People told him that. So, being a stubborn narcissist, he wanted to do it more. Now here we are.

Maybe it has something to do with all the tacit, if not explicit, endorsement of mass lawlessness of a certain president. Huh.

The LLM peddlers seem to be going for that exact result. That’s why they’re calling it “AI”. Why is this surprising that non-technical people are falling for it?

Right along party lines, I imagine. In other words, the only people with a positive view of Musk are the ones who reliably think what right wing propaganda tells them to think.

$10 says whoever’s in charge of this $500 billion project is just going to wrap ChatGPT, pocket $490 billion, then go ask for more.

Judge Murphy might want to get a head start on deputizing some enforcers. No way in hell the Trump admin is going to respect this.

No shit. Next they’re gonna drop a bombshell report that sometimes dogs are brown.

Linux has traditionally been a “hands-on” OS. So there’s not a big market for hardware that ships with Linux pre-loaded and everything “just works.” People who seek out Linux are generally tinkerers. But obviously there is a big market for computers that just work out of the box. Honestly, I’d say this is the biggest thing holding back mass adoption of Linux: no over the counter Linux boxes to just buy and run with.

They’re scream testing the whole government, one piece at a time.

Manor lords who want to see attackers coming from a distance. Requires a few dedicated serfs for all the scything, but such is the cost of protecting one’s estates.

We were already completely fucked. We knew this in the 70’s and reconfirmed it in 2023. With Trump reinstalled, we’re extra super-duper double-stamp no-erasies fucked.

even the rich are worried

Good.

Wow. Someone at the SEC is either being very brave, very stupid, or knows something we don’t.

You think the US is the only autocratic place on Earth? The remainder of the Democratic West isn’t going to start policing every regressive regime on the planet, starting with the biggest military on the planet.

There is no legally protecting yourself from the prerogative state, i.e. whatever the dictator wants. We have to follow rules. They don’t.

This isn’t even funny, and I have a great sense of humor! 😡 /s
