We used to call them griefers. Now they pretend to have meaning.

" dismantle the apparatus"

"also giving Trump a powerful tool "

I see what you did there...

And the Congressional comeuppance to Trump was to let the intelligence framework they have used since 2015 lapse.

They sure took him to the woodshed, huh?

If probably will get put back. They can't let go of the keys to all that data. And you know how they will use it.

Brute force bit banging is not intelligence.

I'm willing to make an exception for you.

LLMs are just big inefficient search engines. They are not intelligent. They just regurgitate random stuff they found on the Internet and format it nicely.
The human brain (or that of any animal, for that matter) is incredibly efficient, using less than 100 Watts and is a lot more capable than any LLM. The brain is actually intelligent.
So yes, LLMs are a dead end.

Cops get point for arresting people. No problem if it's the wrong person.
Flock cameras give them lots of "suspects" to arrest. It's a win for the cops.

If you haven't figured out that 'the peasants' pay for everything, you're just not figuring anything out. Blaming is not understanding.

'We' pay for everything.

The serious projects like covering the desert, or canals, which seem really, really clever. It all depends on what they're covering. I guess sometimes not very nice to what they're covering. But it's really about choices. Responsible choices are going to be okay. I'm reminded though that there is no criticism of any power generation method that won't burn you, the scorn and ridicule and dismissal and rejection somehow. Doesn't mean anybody's right or wrong. Oh wait it does.

If it were just about the money, then nuclear would not be very attractive.

But it's the environment, stupid. Compared to fossil fuels, nuclear is an attractive option, cost be damned. Hydro is not without detriment. Solar uses space. Wind is going to be seen as a loser in so many ways, but it is a stepping stone.

Nuclear is the best option, and SMR among other technologies will improve the option.

ps - Previous comment about desalination in higher latitudes might, I think, miss the basic equation. Fresh water is more readily available at higher latitudes than lower, until you get into the ice. Nuclear powering desalination in Southern California, yes. Alaska? Dude?

Stop paying for it.

Well, we know who has lost the argument...

"the pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs."

This, we only need to settle on what profits are justifiable. And ignore the 'systematically', I doubt it much matters how the jobs are 'sacrificed'. In fact, delete 'sacrificed', 'eliminate' so do just fine here.

Technology has repeatedly changed the workforce, with winners and losers.

What insignificant and unpopular lack of substance is there in this batch of UFO file releases that requires an instantaneous TDS response?

See, when you're cranky and upset, or complaining about anything, Blame Trump.

Not very inventive, but the Left hasn't invented anything helpful for a while...

Fossil Fuel prices are not likely to come down for years.
