Sure but the Q is what poll numbers are going to motivate the Senate to put the brakes on burning the federal govt and intl alliances to the ground?

Yeah, it would be nice if consumers could really trust *any* particular team about their training and creators had tools to verify. I’m cheering on lawsuits by writers & musicians to improve transparency.

My understanding is DeepSeek R1 proved they can extract good enough training data out of existing LLMs. What was scraped without permission for GPT3/4 will live on.

Well, the trick was to recognize partisanship has turned all guardrails and checks on power into cardboard.

The One Simple Trick was to ignore laws around impoundment, employment, and privacy and have no DOJ independence. Genuinely novel approach.

Maybe it’s hopium, but I don’t think it’s the Republican voter’s position. A sizable chunk of Trump voters naively expected to get his more moderate 2017 administration instead of the extremists now surrounding him. This stuff will be too far for them to support him in the midterms.

I’m going to go ahead and call it. By end of year, White House offers Putin a red carpet visit with Fox News celebrating it live.

Plain GarageBand on my couch. These parts are mostly written (months ago) on my web sequencer -> export .mid -> drag into track. It’s motivating me to get my damn desk set up proper.

Everyone has bad ideas! Strive to have people in your life willing to save your from your bad idea being exposed to literally billions of people.

Life isn’t getting better on the ground so why spend an hour out of four years to help the Rebels stop the Empire?

He’s at peek self-confidence and surrounded by fringe economists selected because they agreed with his longtime views.

But the gullibility of eligible voters, believing either Trump’s ideas were good or that he wouldn’t really do them... They are disastrously bad and he’ll do them all.

They did those things, but only had 107 days and a candidate not of their choosing and attached to a very unpopular administration. Biden’s confidence put us here.

Also don't trust anyone who hires liars, or amplifies lies, or provides a forum that conflates truth and lies, or benefits from lying, or seeks to benefit from the effects of lying, or tries to convince you to try to benefit from the effects of lying.

Interview some O&G folks and be more specific. “Promoting diversity” can mean a lot of different things. Reckless take.

Voters haven’t yet elected the first Jan 6 cop beater to Congress. We have further to fall.

Letter of the law doesn’t matter when there’s no apparent support structure for ppl who uphold it and nothing moderating Trump’s impulses to attack them and punish via lawsuits.

This confirmation feels like another of those small events that historians will point to as the fracturing of the country under the weight of partisanship. GOP voters didn’t want an inexperienced sec def, but partisanship means they will come to accept and defend it.

There was still some hope that the Senate had remained a chamber of cooler heads that would overcome partisanship on the stuff that really mattered, and Trump verified that his party exists to serve his whims.

While his pick is unqualified and reckless, in normal times the Senate would take its oversight responsibility seriously. Presidents before have never nominated such an unqualified and divisive nominee.

From docs: “You should expect most websites to fail or crash.” I don’t see how they call this beta software.

In the wake of bad inflation this was not a "default" scenario and Biden made many unforced errors.
