sounds completely compelling
That's not how engineers use AI agents any more. We don't just look at what it says — we have it prove that it's doing the right thing. We just look at the proof, so we don't have to look at all the details, nor blindly believe what they AI says. We also have adversarial reviews, which are typically more thorough (but less experience-based) than human reviews.
He fired 100,000 government workers, putting many of them on government assistance for a while. That wasn't taking away people's money and prosperity?
He took political power away from millions. That's pretty much a zero-sum game right there. It's not just the wealth, it's using the wealth to influence the levers of power that control so many aspects of our lives.
Yeah, it's funny how those deluded by Trump think/pretend that they're the sane ones.
> When people like you get your way, that's how failed states happen.
No, failed states happen because of corruption. Like the USA is experiencing now.
Wait, what?! Are you completely unaware of the Russian oligarchs?
Right, did you really expect Americans to elect a black woman?! We're in this situation because we have enough racists and misogynists that we're not able to elect a smart competent black woman over an exceptionally incompetent, corrupt buffoon. Anyone who says we're not a racist country is ignoring the plain facts — many would rather see the downfall of our nation than to hand over control to a black woman.
Right, sometimes it's about personal power instead of personal wealth. Corruption, either way.
Has Musk ever started a non-profit? I call bullshit — I don't believe Musk has ever had any interest in a non-profit. It's just not in his nature.
Sure, let's classify them as employees. At a minimum, the company needs to start paying minimum wage for all of those 20k agents. That includes payroll taxes which will help feed into Medicare and Social Security, which those agents will never claim. Those new employees will start paying income taxes based on where the agent is running which might also establish tax nexuses exposing the company to new liabilities. Smaller companies using agents will become bigger companies, losing protections for smaller business under various laws, and also will be penalized if they don't provide health insurance options.
All so a CEO can say his company is bigger. Geez.
It's suddenly popping up because Trump wants to deport everyone they can get their hands on, lawful status or not. And they're picking up citizens along the way.
RealID isn't intended to prove citizenship. Citizens can get them, as can immigrants with lawful status in the country. That was on purpose, because people with lawful status also travel, enter federal buildings, and do lots of perfectly legal stuff in this country.
The problem is the Trump administration is intent on finding any reason to kick people out of the country, whether they have lawful status or not. The RealID doesn't tell them whether they have to let you go because you're a citizen.
I find it interesting that every time xenophobia pops up, nothing ends well for the xenophobes. History rhymes.
WTAF. You can get SDR (software defined radio) boards for under $10 in bulk. I suspect they're already using SDR, especially FM HD-Radio. They've already got antennas, speakers, and amps, so that's not an issue. I really don't see how anyone could think that this would drive up costs in any significant way.
It's true that AM radio is best for emergency broadcasts. There are dozens of "clear channel" stations in the US broadcasting at 50 kW, each reaching 100s of miles. And worst case scenario, it's pretty easy to build your own AM radio receiver.
The bigger the theory the better.
