  • It took decades for Apple to build up the workforce and infrastructure in China, and now that they’ve done so, they’re getting cut out by Chinese companies.

    If Bill had pushed for this in the 90s it might have actually done something, but trump and people like him were donating millions at the time so neoliberals would offshore these jobs for cheaper end products and higher profit margins.

    This won’t do shit.


  • Are we not even going to mention the fact that it’s not very good?

    Whether or not you find AI impressive, depends on your own intellect and ability.

    Someone with an IQ of 71 is going to think it’s the greatest thing ever and if anyone doesn’t agree, it’s because they don’t understand yet.

    Because their frame of reference is an IQ of 71.

    For someone with a completely middle of the road IQ if 100, it’s still a useless chatbot.

    It’s why the more someone likes AI, the harder it is to explain to them why it’s actually shit. If you’re stupid enough. AI is smarter than you, and really is better than you doing something.




  • It bears repeating Everytime…

    The Los Angeles patrols date back to 1992, after the riots that erupted when officers were acquitted of brutally beating Rodney King

    It was a peaceful protest, but it was in “white neighborhoods”, so the cops kettled them and instigated violence. They literally beat the protesters back out of the white areas to the nearest minority area, with was K-town.

    Once the protesters were riled up and away from white people, the police, fire, and medical emergency services refused to respond to any are that wasn’t a white neighborhood. And you’re probably think I meant that in the moment, they refused to respond for days.

    Because the protestors had a point and this would make the American public not listen to them.

    For some reason that bit isn’t common knowledge yet.

    Despite cities/cops still using this exact strategy.


  • Donald Trump has said that he has deployed nuclear-capable submarines to the “appropriate regions” in response to a threatening tweet by Russia’s former president Dmitry Medvedev, suggesting that he would be ready to launch a nuclear strike as tensions rise over the war in Ukraine.

    For a second I thought he was really dumb enough to not have them out to sea…

    But:

    1. They can launch from anywhere, you don’t want to be close to what you’re nuking.

    2. Saying he’s moving them is a giant fucking problem.

    Russia is fucking dying to know what a SSBN sounds like, and they’re sure as shit going to be listening because they know where/when they’re going and Trump’s dumb enough to drive right to the coast.

    This is a giant fuckup, like could potentially compromise our nuclear response capabilities for decades bad.

    And what’s worse is we won’t know if Russia finds out or not what an SSBN sounds like.






  • I’ve thought for a while the only thing that could motivate her was they threatened to Epstein her if she doesn’t…

    Which would explain why one of her conditions is doing it outside of prison.

    Shed know if she said what Trump wants, she’s a loose end as soon as she’s free. But dead if she doesn’t.

    Her one chance is to get outside the prison system, and just fucking flat out say all of that to Congress on live TV. Say trump threatened to kill her and frame it as a suicide and that if she goes back into the prison system and dies it’s murder.

    Like, her dad was a legit spy that she’s always said got whacked when the official story was heart attack. She literally grew up in this shit, she’s an evil despicable person, but she knows the game.

    She’s up against the trump admin after all, it’s like beating Wiley Coyote. There’s a very real chance shit gets crazy. And whatever happens trump will handle it in the worst possible way.

    Like. Imagine if he pulls the plug on cspan right after she says it? A couple minutes due to incompetence and then it cuts out for everyone to assume the worst.


  • Markus wrote that their initial reaction to the subpoena was that “Maxwell would invoke her Fifth Amendment rights and decline to testify at this time.”

    Double edge sword.

    Say she gets immunity for any additional crimes disclosed during deposition, that means she can no longer take the fifth, because nothing she said would implicate herself.

    So if someone asked her:

    Did you assist trump raping kids?

    She would have to admit it, or commit perjury, which she could still be charged with. Those are the only two options.

    And if trump actually listens to a lawyer, he’ll never let it happen. Who the fuck knows what she’ll say. Like, regardless of if she does what trump wants or not, she’s likely to be dead in a year tops. And that’s only if they’re that patient so it doesn’t look obvious
