The worse part? Once Trump is out, the next President is going to get scrutinized to hell about anything.

The English language has 22k or so words. The average English speaker has a 7k vocabulary. Trump has 3k.

Trust me: We are not in the same category as Trump.

Read up what lobbying can do for you if you have the funds to spend on lobbying.

Does she still get to keep her bang jet?

Reminds me of the show, The Expanse

That’s because he thinks of himself as a warrior fighting the good fight. The only fight Patel has is with the self photos that comes out that makes him appear looney.

Spockies

And seemingly he’s cheated death so far too!

(Not wishing lightning to strike him at this very moment, just thought it’d be funny to add to his theme of cheating at various things.)

Yeah, our stock of “thoughts and prayers” can only stretch so far. We’ve got a lot of hand sanitizers from the last pandemic that are still in stock though.

Spockies

Just a virus or bacteria specie hopping.

The Black Death from the Middle Ages is still around and among the squirrel population.

AI is such an overblown topic. What are you afraid about AI?

Your job? Their movement manipulation is so far away from being human-like outside of special niche settings. Once AI can do plumbing is the day we should be worried, but as far as I know, there's nothing in the AI industry working on that.

How about information gathering? They do that pretty decently, but we've also had search engines for a few decades now. Their information tends to also run astray and and pick up on other propagated AI info vomit. They need constant 'factory resets' to continue the cycle of informative to false information as they have no fact checking in a sea of AI slop.

I am worried about the future generations of humanity substituting AI for their critical thinking. You hear stories about college and lower grades using AI to write their essays or get their answers and you have people asking grok about something being true, etc. However, that's more so the fault of the human rather than the AI.

The only truly frightening thing is how AI can be used to further the police state we are heading into, and I would dare argue that this administration is aiming for exactly that.

Spockies

Yep, blame source of problem on something else, then take credit for solving/resetting some problem that he caused all along

Spockies

What do you expect from the worst person in the position with that credibility. I do expect more plans that will flop to fix his initial flop(s). I don’t think he’s done the worst he could yet.

Spockies

Oh no, you thought too many steps ahead and ran into a logical problem. Stop that, go back to the beginning and just trust. /s

Spockies

Most of it is ironic self projection.

Spockies

Bullish on my stocks, bearish on everyone else's

Spockies

That was then, but whose to say there can't be another since then?

One idiosyncratic risk is bad. How about two?
