Yup. It’s a pretty wondrous material, except the bit about causing cancer.

This just sounds like they’re going to contract PragerU to rebrand their videos and then someone will pocket billions of dollars.

Removing the need to do any research is just removing another exercise for the brain. Perfectly crafted AI educational videos might be closer to mental junk food than anything.

Android Messages and Facebook Messenger also pushed in AI as ‘something you can chat with’

I’m not here to talk to your fucking chatbot I’m here to talk to my friends and family.

If the 1920s really are repeating then, if we survive the Trump administration, we’ve got a modern version of the New Deal on the way.

I miss clear plastic cases. That was the peak.

Honestly this has kind of been reassuring as it seems that things that are behind the scenes are as dumb as what’s on the surface.

In 2024, stocks were high, jobs were strong, feds were cutting rates, inflation was under 3%… Biden did it, the soft landing from COVID. Anyone who paid any attention knew the economy was in a good place and, four years in, only Biden’s admin would have had any affect.

If I was a brain worm that had taken control of a US politician, the first thing I would do is say that the worm is dead.

He’s completely set with pensions. And I am unsure if index funds were specifically ruled out. The article doesn’t really detail his wealth, and there’s no way someone with his intelligence and pragmatism has completely bungled his finances.

I’m just stating the absolute floor.

Whoever replaces Biden will still immediately get the “I would vote for a literal hamster instead of Trump” crowd which is like 40% of the nation.

Most Trumpists have been duped by propagandists. It’s more comforting to them to believe the fake news talking points than to admit “their guy” is actually a vile waste of skin.

I don’t get why people are down voting you. This is exactly it. They have an infinite layer of lies on lies to spin all of this stuff.

Iirc he didn’t even get ‘too excited’ he just had the mic too close to his mouth.

“You don’t understand! Right now is the worst times, and my specific suffering is the worst and most hopeless in history! This is the end!”

Getting out may be an exception but self-defeating right away, like a lot of people in this thread, isn’t the way to become the exception.

Well, I bet they didn’t lobby for fossil fuels at COP28.

Very sadly we just aren’t in a climate for third party candidates to do anything. I would suggest getting involved with ranked choice voting advocacy groups if you really believe in it.

Personally I just want more trees and for big mega parking lots to be ripped out
