AI's arguing with each other on the internet with no positive outcome is only a win for the AI company. Same with emails. If you send me 20 pages of AI slop generated from bullet points and I use AI to reduce it back to bullet points, then nothing of value was gained except we both paid openai for burning some coal and thats all.

Don't send or post any AI to me on any platform. I can run the AI my self when I feel it's needed.

The operator of the AI must be held liable for it's actions just as the operator of any other software.

Genuine question: is it any different from us calling Deutschland “Germany” on our maps? Different countries, or at least countries that speak different languages, often have wildly different names for other locations.

I can't find exact numbers, but I did find a recently published Princeton study. According to it, grant submissions for the Competitive Grant Program closed in September 2024 (for a bill passed in 2021), and "[a]s of January 2025, over fourty (sic) entities, including a varied mix of municipalities, school districts, trade associations, and a hospital, among others, have been recommended for award of a combined $369 million pending 'budget review and processing.'" There's also a table showing grant status.

Additionally, it says "[a]pplications for [State Digital Equity Capacity Grant] sub-grants have opened in several states, including New York and Idaho." Since Texas "paused its sub-grant application process in March of 2025," we can likely conclude this part of the process, where the remaining $1.44B is allocated, is still ongoing.

It looks like the answer to how many people have been connected by the Act is probably zero. This shouldn't surprise anyone; however, proponents might point out we should judge the program's success after the funds have been allocated. Based on how these things often go, I won't hold my breath.

The program may well be a boondoggle, but Trump is, as often, his own worst messenger.

I'll ignore the "WTF" aspect of this, as that ground is well-trod by this point.

The videos and images they have are not representative of him. Not really. Not completely. They are representative of his best moments. Friends and family aren't keeping videos of the times he was angry, or argumentative, etc. This is fine and normal. But if you're going to feed those into an LLM and pretend that the result is "him", you've only got a simulacrum of part of his persona.

The whole thing is weird and, IMO, morbid, but I hope it gave the family closure.

The beam is not dangerous and small interruptions are handled by error correction in the device itself and higher level protocols (like resending tcp packets).

Calling them low performers publicly is a huge punch in the gut And can affect employment prospects. They should class action on that.

I get ready disappointed when any insurance claim is denied. I pay and pay but no insurance company has ever approved a dime

The only AI value is when itâ(TM)s used with tools that do specific things or as a search engine

Is AI generated code as good as human generated code? If yes, then use AI generated code to train the AI. If no, then what good is AI.
