People that are paid agitators for the extreme left are directly brainwashing everyone to discriminate against the Plain Old Telephone Service and good old fashion RJ11 wire. It's so unfair!

Did you know you can use carrier pigeons to communicate? These leftist lunatics want to TAKE YOUR RIGHTS AWAY!

But have no fear, Trump has de-weaponised government so gigabit speeds are not going to be forced on you. You can use dial-up, carrier pigeons and even morse code via shoe string and some tin cans...and all that without having to pay a dollar more than fibre internet! Because they are looking out for the little guy.

Obligatory reference that the EXTREME LEFT don't want you to read: https://www.rfc-editor.org/inf...

When you think about it, a bunch of software engineers, data scientists and managers decided how these algorithms will work...and they have an agenda. (Big surprise)

The thing that annoys me is that I warned everyone I knew about this and it was dismissed as conspiracy theories...you can lead a horse to water but you cannot force it to drink - unless there's some high colour contrast outrageous headline.

...and loads of social media platforms have shitty algos that promote shitty and even downright harmful content...but unlike FB, Twitter was genuinely useful in certain ways until Musk turned it into dog shit.

I recently heard the news that Anthropic has settled a legal challenge about the many books it used to train Claude on...and will pay $1.5 billion for said usage.

I asked Claude what books it knew to a high degree of depth. A third of the book I had on the topic of writing it knew to a level that suggested it trained on.

It's useful if you want to build a skill or knowledgebase on data Claude/AI does not have...

As it turns out this has been a real world Disaster Recovery test for Europe's energy supply.

Once production is local via wind, solar etc Europe doesn't need to worry - from a strictly energy security perspective - if the orange baboon bombs some oil country.

While renewable power is proving itself in practice Trump wants to reshire manufacturing...EXCEPT for energy production it seems as he's reducing clean energy projects.

Europe must keep diversifying it's energy supply. Russia turning off gas, US messing up oil etc.

I think the lesson is that Europe is on the right track and it needs to accelerate efforts to reach 100% energy self-reliance.

...creating a skill for it? *blinks*

The lower cost will be absorbed into the pocket of whoever owns the rights.

Remember when digital books were going to make it cheaper to own books?

Is that all these foreign cybercrime groups will be verified by the administration which is well known for its restraints and "ask first shoot later" policy.

It's not like they would weaponise government against anyone they simply dislike so we're all safe.

...but luckily climate change is a hoax so this is most likely perpetrated by paid liberal agitators.

Trump will send ICE they, will sort this out. By the time they are done anyone reporting liberal agitators information will be gone.

Scarcity greatly incentives innovation.

I consider it a public service. You don't have to thank me. I'm special like that. ðY(TM)f

...and because of that I suspect they will soon realise the need to develop nuclear weapons by stealth if they haven't done so already. You never know when China will want to "reunify" some Japanese territory.

Without nuclear weapons Japan is vulnerable and the US cannot play world police forever...if the US can't pummle Iran to submission then is there really any hope with a more capable adversary? Also what if Trump suddenly invents a reason to put tariff on Japanese good or invent some BS like what he said about the EU being created to exploit the US.

Geopolitical power is shifting and Japan must change with the times...

When most of the jobs they removed due to using AI instead need to be rehired for because unsubsidised AI usages is more expensive I'm sure it'll all work out.

They will ask later, "but were there any signs of a bubble?" - for those that are busy with stocks that are "going to the moon" and riding the new paradigm I'm sure this is perfectly sustainable.

I, personally, use AI with great results that deliver actual commercial benefit for me...however there are 1000 people for every one person like me that manage to just spend and achieve mediocre or worse results and I say this to ask one question: If all this AI is really so great, so effective and so needed why then must it be subsidised?

...but really are there any reasons you don't want a smart TV, Phone, car and kettle?

He's draining the swamp $100,000/subscription/month at a time!

I believe Whitehouse economists term this SDMRR and once it hits a high enough threshold the entire swamp will be drained. Trump was quoted saying "It's going really well and we'll have a deal really soon."

I was gonna work on that over the weekend but some automation spared me the trouble. *phew*

Can we now focus on slightly more useful things? World peace? Climate change? Cancer?
