Geometry: Still real, still out of reach to autonomous vehicle promoters.

"Over a ten-minute period at rush hour, your correspondent counted 132 bicycles (many w/ children on the back) flowing one way. In adjacent, wider car lane, 82 cars (almost all carrying just driver)."

i feel like openai showing up with a sketchy non-standard, overly convaluted corporate structure, while claiming they were already worth billions before shipping a single product should have been a red flag.

Same with journalism, everyone just fucking cooked themselves to the point of not understanding actual people with jobs. The Washington Post is going to be like “why do subscriptions keep falling even when Catturd2 is writing about the economy?”

of course, through the majesty of the law, alex jones has effectively stalled long enough to win anyway. the families who he tortured will end up with a small pile of ashes labeled "Infowars Inc" while Alex keeps doing his thing as Alex Jones Broadcasting, having had plenty of time to shift themoney

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

Young Republicans

We are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed in the Politico article published today. Such behavior is disgraceful, unbecoming of any Republican, and stands in direct opposition to the values our movement...

not many technologies have the dubious quality of becoming less efficient over time. all signs point to ai eventually requiring the power of the sun to complete real tasks, and to me, there are better ways to use that energy than spam bots of custom porn

you can just read the interview, you know.

So I see this election as very critical to who we are as a nation - the character of America, democracy. And they may not like hearing that, but I don't like what they're saying either. And what they're - the assault that they are making on - no one is above the law. That's been what America has been about, except if you're Donald Trump.

KELLY: When you say they, you're talking about who? Republicans?

PELOSI: Yeah. I'm talking...

KELLY: People who support Trump?

PELOSI: ...About the cult that the Republican Party has become - a cult to a thug. And that thug would be Donald Trump. So I wish they'd take back their part of - the country needs a strong Republican Party. It has had a strong Republican Party with great leaders for America. And that is really not what we're seeing there. It's up to them, though.
