So anyway...

How 'bout them $SportsTeam last night? It was so close and then it was a blow out.

Typical, eh?

I can't see how they finish the season and make the $PlayOffs.

Doesn't really matter either way because my fantasy-$Sport picks really came through for me. I'm up huge.

Any war news, lately?

Is there a torrent link that I can feed my AI for a summary? I'm definitely not going to a theater for anything, let alone this op ed.

As an aspiring megalomaniac who just watched a super-villan movie, I'll take two. But, I might need more if the protagonist ruins my initial infallible plans.

I don't want any built in cohesive horseshit.

I want an interface into the hardware, accessible via Bluetooth and USB, and nothing else.

Everything on the phone! Easily updatable, over the air. Relatively inexpensive to replace entirely. My data stays with me.

The car should be the presentation layer, screen, speakers, buttons, and nothing else.

You're complaining about the content, essentially the "writing" of the "show". When properly instructed Sora could write decent shows. But, regardless of teh content. Sora's production quality is amazing.

Yes, cat videos suck because of the suject matter. But, the image quality and music that Sora produced is amazingly good and any old fool has the capability to make fantastic content with it.

Having spun up openClaw, I have come to realize that it and this Claude agent are token guzzling machines. openClaw burns through tokens just sitting at idle with its "heartbeat" AI query. That occurs every 30 minutes by default. This Claude feature likely won't be much different.

One big difference between this Claude feature and openClaw is that Claude is only Claude. Where as openClaw allows you to use multiple different AIs singularly or simultaneously. It's a Swiss Army Knife type gateway to different AIs, including on-premise AIs if you have them. But, it burns a bunch of fucking tokens with every request.

I'm really dissatisfied about the way that these AIs process and reprocess the same data over and over again.

So, no new models from any foreign source. But old models are still OK?

This is not a security matter. This is a trade negotiation tactic.

We'll have t wait for the other shoe to drop, but expect something sensible like Huawei has to give up 51% ownership to a U.S. entity. Someone like Larry Ellison and some Trump Jr.

Walmart is moving away... openAI is discontinuing.

Walmart will embed its own AI... inside ChatGPT? With a similar system inside Gemini next month?

Users will complete purchases within Walmart's system.

What a whole lot of nonsense.

Can you build another AI to summarize all that useless shit? Fucking thing bloviates worse than a politician.

An identity scheme will be the end of Reddit. This I can guarantee.

But if it were to happen, I'm taking bets on the replacement. Where will the Reddit users flock to? There are already at least a couple of similar sites even using the Reddit code.

I see you like to argue semantics.

Ask anyone in Cuba what they call the embargo. They have always called it el bloqueo(the blockade). But that is just an nonsense argument. The clear intent of my comment was that el bloqueo has not been their problem for the last several decades, despite the claims of many. Their problem is that they have no money.

The U.S. is currently denying fuel ships, only. All other shipping continues unaffected. Which is how they are able to get solar panels from China.

But, you keep arguing semantics and ignoring the main point of my comment. That Cuba's primary issue in acquiring whatever they desire is a lack of money and having nothing of significance to export. The recent fuel crisis is ummm... recent. Cuba's problems have existed uninterrupted since the country collapsed when Castro took over in 1959.

These small providers probably aren't terrible.

But Comcast and Charter are evil and shit companies that deserve to die. The fully deserve the hate they create.

In case you weren't paying attention, Captain Obvious, Cuba has been under blockade for 66+ years. The impact of recent actions of the U.S. on Cuba changes nothing that I've already said.

Good fucking luck getting that over the line after mid-term elections.

Good fucking luck getting anything over the line after mid-term elections.

Though I doubt the veracity of this particular story, I can certainly imagine that something like this will become a bigger problem in the near future when cellphones utilize satellite internet more heavily. Something that is already underway and developing rapidly.
