Democratic governments - setting up for totalitarian takeover since 5th Century BCE.

What was it like riding a boneshaker to the mill to work fourteen hour days?

It’d be funnier to do it after inauguration though. We need to see Musk’s new department completely fail before he is memory-holed. Fighting corparo-fascism for four years/forever is a marathon, not a sprint.

But he claimed Obama was not born in America, and Obama was President.

Too bad.

I have one of those at work now, but my experience with it is still quite limited. With Copilot it was quite useful for knocking up quick boutique solutions for particular problems (stitch together a load of PDFs sorted on a name heading), with the proviso that you might end up having to repair bleed between dependency versions and repair syntax. I couldn’t trust it with big refactors of existing systems.

At a beach restaurant the other night I kept hearing a loud American voice cut across all conversation, going on and on about “AI” and how it would get into all human “workflows” (new buzzword?). His confidence and loudness was only matched by his obvious lack of understanding of how LLMs actually work.

Probably the rest of us won’t last much longer than them now anyway.

Doctors have prices?

Setting off the pan nerds should be listed as a war crime by the Geneva Convention.

A well-seasoned Dutch oven sounds like a fate worse than death.

Well, we don’t want the yanks to get involved in us politics either!

America making big play for World’s first Fourth World country. All the sci-fi authors got it wrong thinking the global corps would turn developing countries into vassal states .

Giga Berlin is about to E.X.P.L.O.D.E.

I hate that these are always out of dum-dums.

Every little helps.

And my axe!

Doubtless they’re worried about the rest of us getting ideas above our station.

Is this something I can dodge entirely by never buying a newer iPhone then?
