Enough for all the children on Epstein Island.

Europe can no longer trust America and by extension American companies. We had a choice between a moderately competent woman and a convicted felon pedophile and we picked the convicted felon pedophile. In addition to the pedophile accepting 2 billion dollars in bribes for pardons and a questionable jet from a corrupt government he also threatened to invade Greenland and Canada and has completely fucked up the global economy by uselessly attacking Iran.

So Europe is disentangling itself from America. Which of course is going to fuck the American economy but the aforementioned pedophile does not give a shit. And neither do 37% of American voters who have no fucking clue the shit storm that's going to hit right after the midterms

Hey dingus, eventually this case will hit the supreme Court unless it dies in the lower courts. When that happens six of the nine judges are irredeemably corrupt.

You don't even need Google to read how and why the six judges are corrupt. Chat GTP can find it for you and I bet it could even read it to you just in case you're one of the 60% of Americans that read at a 6th grade level.

Must be nice being a summer child like you where you think everything's going to be fine for you personally even though the highest court in the land is on the take along with the president and the party currently in charge of Congress. Imagine going through life thinking that situation is going to turn out okay for people who post on this dying web forum.

Google is spending a lot of money right now to make them work. They also have backup centers in the United States. As soon as they think they can transition it to a profitable business all of that goes out the window and we're going to have to live with these things fucking up our freeways.

It's like boiling a frog except the frog is smart enough to jump out of the pot

Didn't you have to pay a shitload of taxes though? There are usually penalties for extracting money out of a 401k. I didn't think there was a way to move them to something like a money market account without incurring those penalties

But it's absolutely not sustainable. You won't be able to continue to regurgitate culture when you basically collapsed civilization.

Just have them autopilot it from the Philippines. Mechanical Turk and all that. I guess it doesn't really matter anymore. Fun fact if you have a 401k then you just had a billion dollars taken out of it. That's how much money you lost when you were forced to buy SpaceX because it was put in the NASDAQ 100 without meeting any of the requirements for joining the NASDAQ 100...

When you're running a scam that big, something worth hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars, why even bother with the self-driving car scam?

It's also easier to openly break the law and get away with it because you have absurd amounts of money and judges tend to side with whoever has the most cash.

Possession is 9/10 of the law. And yeah I know that doesn't technically mean what I am talking about here. But it means what it means in the context of reality. Specifically judges are members of the property owning class and so whether intentionally or not they tend to side with whoever has the most of the stuff.

So now it's open season on anything you create. In AI chatbot can ingest it and spit it right back out and as long as it doesn't do it verbatim there is fuck all you can do about it.

Creating something people loved used to be one of the last few ways to get ahead in the world and even that's being taken away and turned into shit and slop...

And it's why you're not wallowing in your own filth starving to death.

Oh you sweet summer child...

I'm sure that they'll get the bribes sorted out so the merger can proceed.

Meanwhile EA games is about to get hit with 20 billion dollars in debt from the Saudis buying it. Which I'm sure is just fine.

It sure would be nice if we had someone regulating the economy...

Donald Trump sold 2 billion dollars in pardons, accepted a $1 billion dollar jet from Qatar that he is clearly planning on taking with him if he doesn't get a third term and has accepted billions of dollars in money through a cryptocurrency scheme much of which came from foreign governments. Absolutely none of this mattered and Trump still has a 37% approval rating.

Your neighbor gave up on the rule of law. Maybe for the promise of cheap eggs. Maybe because trans girls give them the ick. Maybe because Fox News is entertaining for some reason. Doesn't matter why they gave it up they gave it up and you got dragged into it.

There is a small chance the Democrats will save us yet again but it's going to be tough. The amount of voter suppression going on is unlike anything we've seen since Jim Crow

But what are the practical implications of that? Isn't it just as likely that those math problems haven't been solved because there was not any particularly good reason to solve them?

Yeah it's very likely that at some point in the future there will be a practical application for those math problems being solved. It's equally likely that a human being would have solved them when the time came.

So you going to have to do better than that. How has or is AI going to make our lives better and not just a little better but enough to justify the enormous amounts of water and electricity and pollution combined with the tremendous social upheaval?

I have said it before but AI is fundamentally an antisocial technology. It's because it only exists as capital to eliminate jobs.

If we were a more advanced civilization that could do something about if you don't work you don't eat then yeah that would potentially be okay. But we also would not be building out all these damned data centers during droughts and electricity shortages. I will remind you that Texas has had blackouts that have killed people.

The argument will be made that by all we can shut off the data centers but we won't. Will shut off people's electricity because fuck people.

Israel was created to get Jews out of Europe. Many of the original Zionists were anti-Semites who just wanted Jews to go away, and used the promise of a "homeland" to encourage them to migrate to the Middle East.

Thanks. I guess it's as I suspected, it's just when outside the US then "American" is used to describe bitter coffee. Sometimes I get mistaken for an American and offered it, which is a bit embarrassing as I have to decline and ask for European or Japanese instead.
