In the upcoming AI Winter Part 3, the big gen AI models are going to die and businesses will be using smaller application specific ones that can be run locally. Gen AI will fade into the background like machine learning and other types of AI models have over the past few decades.

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

We don't hate America, we love it!

But we don't want fascism, we think authoritarianism is unconstitutional and wrong, we think congress should do their job, we think corruption is wrong, we think the people need to be served, we the scotus, the president and congress are compromised.

Pretending to the world that you are the president of peace while waging war at home is diabolical.

It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released.

Stop the shutdown - release the files!

Don’t believe the BS when Mike Johnson says they “need to have the Gov’t reopened before they can talk Healthcare.”

Mikey & Congress is getting 💰 regardless of a government shut down so why can’t they go to the office?!? AWOL!

Liars 🤥

Btw: Release the Epstein files & 8647!!! Get ur 💩 together!
