That the idea of data centers gobbling up incredible amount of Electricity is a real non-starter. Because at this early time, the end game of AI is likely to use a lot less power. So it's a given AI is here - do more research to make it something sustainable.

Even the idea of restarting old decommissioned nuclear plants like Three Mile Island is silly. The idea of using 1960's nuc technology, managed by profit driven people who will demand that profit over safety is thing one - that's a bit chilling.

There's a coincidence... I almost added to my post that the Board of JP Morgan was considering changing their name to INGSOC.

The ones I have been in don't talk anything like that. And I've been in many.

The different scopes involve different speaking terms, those with a military bent have one set of recurring terms. Technology based boards, another. Marketing yet another, along with fiduciary involved boards. Some of the groups I have been in have significant overlap.

Once you have been in a field, you end up getting used to the terms used, and they are logical.

"Manus is the action engine that goes beyond answers to execute tasks, automate workflows, and extend your human reach." Now that is bullshit. And if someone said that in a board I'm on,, I'd tell them it was bullshit.

What boards have you served on to gain that unassailable knowledge?

Yeah, specific employees.

Anyway, this is a good point, people can only stare at a screen for so long, unless they're playing video games. Obviously they need to gamify trading. I mean, more than they already have

That is exactly the space I am always trying to inhabit. Sometimes I even get there.

Taxing bad behavior is just another variation of the evil bit, or vice versa I suppose.

"awareness" my rosy red rectum. Sounds more like something from 1984, total surveillance of every minute, framed as helping. Doubleplus ungood.

Sure, it's about making sure they aren't getting *too* much screen time and *not at all* about trying to audit that they are doing as much screen time as the managers expect them to be getting..

Yes?

As for the one in New York, I'll give you three guesses where La Liberté éclairant le monde was made.

There are two main problems with Democrats. First problem, they are not actually left enough. They are solidly in the pockets of big business, they always vote to increase funding to the MIC, etc etc. They are mostly just as addicted to money as Republicans. (On average it costs more to bribe them, which is mildly interesting although it doesn't change anything for us - it's been studied and it costs more in "donations" to get them to vote like shitheels, but they still do it.) Second problem, which is related to that problem: they think they can court the right wing. Well, they fucking can not. They shift right to try to get votes and it doesn't work. They keep going conservative and losing, and they do it with such gusto that it's difficult to believe it's not on purpose.

Harris failed to condemn genocide for both of these reasons, and that is a huge reason why younger voters stayed home. I don't disagree with anything you said, but I still believe that's a huge factor here.

Correct, I am not a simp for the world's longest running child rape conspiracy.

I don't need to have one. You actually do get to claim to be one if you're not actually living the faith, and you know who decided that? The church. In between raping children and relocating child molesters to other locations so they can rape more children, the priests and bishops and popes took some time out to say it's OK as long as you keep trying to come in and give them money and children.

Funny that they list 'passkeys' as a proof of human. Peel it back and a passkey is like an ssh keypair. They *could* try to employ attestation to limit to 'blessed passkey vendors', but it's going to be a tough scenario at all.

If folks are determined to 'bot' it up, a pretty legitimate passkey can be part of that. It was never designed to serve the purpose of proving 'human' interaction.

Damn science believers, always messing up people's fantasies.

Have you ever seen a shiny new penny versus an old tarnished one? Or the Statue of Liberty? Or an old building with one of those weird green roofs?

They're all copper, with varying amounts of oxygen. Oxygen free copper is expensive copper that's specially made to get rid of as much of the oxygen as possible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

If the article got something so simple as THIS completely wrong, one can easily presume that the REST of the article is incorrect gibberish.

"oXyGEn-fREE cOppER", lmao

Indeed.

While it is popular to claim that Americans are the stupidest people ever to be put on earth, there is a non-zero chance they are simply humans, who do risk/reward assessments.

Yes, the Republicans have no real plans.

The problem is that in roughly the past 15 years or so, the Democrats went off the rails. Republicans have done the same in years past. Think about the second time O'Blama was elected. So after Hillary Clinton won the election, yet lost the White House because of a quirk of the electoral college, and the far left ended up grabbing the party by the balls, they ended up in 2024, reaping what they were sowing.

If there is something that they might try: Understanding that there is no "estrogen wave". You will not win elections when you openly broadcast that men are the enemy. Become a party where normal masculine men are considered equals of women, not universally patriarchal rape culture fans.

Not bending the knee to far left academic sophists who have convinced the party that it is not possible to define what w woman is, and to stop objectifying women as "Birthing People" - don't deny it, the 2022 budget called women birthing people.

In addition stop denying science and biology. Supporting biological men playing sports on biological women's athletic teams is part of this, and not only is batshit insane, but places women under the tyranny of men.

Stop supporting medical experiments on children. Look up Chloe Cole on Youtube. A supposed Trans, she was altered with injections that harmed her, and had her breasts amputated at 15. This is cruel Mengele' level experimentation. She eventually figured out she just had some issues going through puberty, and just like her biology, was a woman, but could no longer be a complete woman. She did testimony before congress. And she's not the only one who regrets transitioning

Support the working class. The Democrats publicly abandoned the working class, Harris claiming she would win with or without their support. That one aged like milk

If you are going to make commercials to attract men to vote for you, have actual men make them. The Men for Kamala ads were utterly cringeworthy, as if they decided to have a group of gender studies majors make the commercials, using parodies of men. And definitely use the fat dude talking about "eating carburetors for breakfast", or other misandry based drivel.

Want the White House back? provide what people will vote for,

It is amazing, is it not? TrumpCult is not a bad description.

The next general election, the biggest weapon the Democrats will have is the old saying "Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?"

And Trumpfuel and Trumpfood will be a big item. All those far righties in their big 10 mpg trucks are paying for their fealty.
