These researchers are shocked that Google's AI spat out a result that they worked on for years on but haven't published. My question is, did they ever email about it using Gmail? Put it in a Google Doc? The idea that Google hasn't trained its AIs on everything they have access to seems naive to me.

It's hard to laugh at it but a kind of bleakly funny throughline in all this is that it's being overseen by people who 1) have never had any kind of real job, 2) don't know what these particular jobs are or might entail and haven't asked, and 3) are absolutely convinced that they are fake.

The war is over… but our suffering continues. We have no home—only tattered tents that barely shield us. No work, no basic needs, no hope. Hunger and despair consume us. Our children ask for a future, but we have nothing to give. * plz repost or quote if you can't donate. 🔗 gofund.me/a2877172

Dear Mr. Musk, What we found out is that each one of us is 1. a brain 2. and an athlete 3. and a basket case 4. a princess 5. and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

🚨 PRECEDENT: A group which would not identify themselves, which was seen passing out Christian religious & patriot flyers during the event, forcibly removed a woman from a Government session. The group failed to identify themself, carried zip ties and physically aggressed the woman, dragging her.

Separately, on Musk's email, a point I think is not being made enough is that federal payroll makes up less than 5% of US government spending. Federal workers are 1.4% of all workers, but they're responsible for how 25% of US GDP is spent. This has nothing to do with saving money

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

The SAVE Act is specifically designed to disenfranchise a ton of American women. Let us recall how many of the techbros now infiltrating the American government, like Peter Thiel, believe that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
