Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
It somehow gets more embarrassing?

Again, Mark Zuckerberg's kids go to a screen-free school with 14 students total and multiple specialized tutors
let me note that one of the actual tests here is going to be 'what do people pushing these ideas want for their own children' and I will bet you a lot of money that the answer is 'the elite university model of Harvard et al' not 'learning through AI slop'
Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."
I think this is broadly right but worldwide immigration debates converging on "immigrants bad" shows that staking out and pushing a bad position also works. But it also proves how important political attention is.
The vital currency in all modern political disputes is the public's attention. The more you escalate a conflict, the more attention you get, and if you're in the superior, more defensible position - which may not be the most POPULAR position, at the outset - fighting it out wins people to your side.
nah, I mean, probably in a couple cases but trump is 25% mask off 75% making people worse
It's got what markets crave

This bodes well
Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”
Wait, did anyone think this?
For years, San Franciscans considered him the rare big-hearted billionaire. But days before his Dreamforce conference begins, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to SF and that Trump is doing “a great job.”

Absolute word salad. I guess don't talk about someone abusing their dog unless you want to be accused of blood libel (islamophobic)

Any form of media that involves an angry man telling an audience what to be angry about for several hours a day is probably not good for the human brain

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.

You think I'm exaggerating, but the @washingtonpost.com said it was unfair to say that Mike Pence supported conversation therapy because somebody else might have written the section of his campaign website where he said he supported conversation therapy.
The Washington Post said Mike Pence doesn't support conversion therapy. No one's having it. - LGBTQ Nation

Feel like all the boosters really gloss over some of the specifics on the last point
I too want America to have a permanent service lower class
Yeah government daycare should start younger, problem is people are still fooled into thinking education is the primary purpose of k-12
Incredible work from the party dedicated to cutting taxes and spending
CBO fy2025 projections for deficit/spending/etc are out

Some issues make simple comparisons apples-to-oranges, so I'll do apples-to-apples & explain in the thread

Relative to pre-Trump projections:
-Primary deficits ⬆️ $34 bn
-program spending ⬆️ $97 bn
-revenues ⬆️ $63 bn
www.cbo.gov/publication/...
Yeah I've not kept up with the literature but my understanding is more subsidies is just helping at the margins
To be clear that already happens, 13 years of free daycare is a huge subsidy, but yeah that needs to be expanded, though I suspect this is all just rearranging deck chairs in the Titanic
Makes sense with power being part of the AI... enthusiasm
