Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

Though Americans might be clamoring for relief on groceries, housing and energy costs, economists say there’s a bigger downside to falling prices: Ironically, falling prices can both signal a recession and trigger one.

It’s also notable that TPUSA employs rabid Islamophobes like this person. Imagine what the Trump admin would do to a university if they allowed an organization that said this about Jews and pork to establish themselves on campus.

I spent a long time pontificating about the sort of "do we get rid of the incompetent idiot for a more competent (but still evil) replacement?" earlier, and the answer imho, is "always yes."
Because politics is about constraint, and constraining the Trump admin is massively important.

Does anyone have a robust theory as to why the recent reporting on follow on strikes has galvanized this response and not you know the murders they were in the first order?
Note that both of the joint Republican-Democrat Statements from the Senate and House Armed Services Committees refer to the 'Department of Defense' - not the 'Department of War' - in their statements promising oversight of Pete Hegseth's actions.

A someone with a degree in English this thread is so fucking depressing. Jesus christ.
At this point, our intro comp/first-year English course has been so heavily revised, it no longer includes a novel, or "extended reading" of any kind, no "specialized" or "historical" reading, mostly in-class assignments, no research essay...and we are still seeing a 40-50% rate of AI misconduct.

The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

Senator Kelly is correct.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
