The argument of “everything will be made with AI soon” is a lie peddled by AI companies and chuds - support real creations.

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats.
Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.
Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.
It's the very least they should be doing!

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

The downfall of MCU as the dominant tastemaker and box office force was not caused by Scorsese, over-saturation and poor planning and just plain human desire for novelty saw to that. But it’s easier to be angry at the allegedly pretentious filmmaker insulting the poor little billion dollar franchise

The US withdrawal from WHO could impact the flu shot.
Flu samples sent to CDC from around the world are down 60% this year, as of July.
"When those viruses are not coming in, we don't know what to put in the vaccine, and you're going to have less effective vaccines."

Why next year's flu shot might not be as good as it should be
America's withdrawal from the World Health Organization is affecting the ability of U.S. scientists to track flu and other pathogens. That could be a blow to the development of the 2025 flu vaccine.

no matter what anyone said or promised, if the government gives money to Open AI, it is not a bailout. It would never be a one-time thing. The auto bailout was paid back. TARP was paid back. There are no profits in AI, just the Joker burning cash.
If Trump does this, we all need to not pay taxes.

This is not a bailout. We need to immediately stop calling it that. This shit only burns money. There are no profits nor a plan to make any. This would never be a one-time thing.

It would have to be continuous. And all it would help do is keep the bubble inflated.

“OpenAI is getting ready to run hat in hand to the taxpayer for subsidies.” After losing more than $13 billion this year, OpenAI officials are angling for a bailout. From @ryanlcooper.com:

For artificial intelligence to ever pencil out, some truly enormous revenue streams will be required. And if you need trillions of dollars for data centers forever, there’s only one entity to turn to: Uncle Sam.

I was a night AE in “Reality TV” for a short time, and the very first thing I noticed looking at raw footage was this. Everything is honestly more scripted than Curb Your Enthusiasm. Absolutely nothing is real. They take multiple takes. Talk about adjustments. All on camera.
As someone who's worked on a lot of reality shows, I think even pretty sophisticated audience members would be surprised to learn how much of many shows are basically scripted - or even compile footage out of context in post-production to build stories that never happened bsky.app/profile/thew...
This is it. People who watch reality TV think it's, well, real. But most of it is scripted - everything from 90 Day Fiance to The Bachelor. These people are not real, their conflicts aren't real, this is either their job, or they hope that "reality tv persona" becomes their job. People don't get it.
