He may start the war but 2 things. 1. the physical location of Venezuela's oil 2. saying he would invade Columbia next does not give them any incentive to stay out and close their borders. he's sending US troops to fight a jungle war ... the last time didn't go so well.

Only because he's an unrelenting dumbass who doesn't understand that was required under Ukraine's constitution. We have no legal mechanism for that here, and it's an excellent way to get states to secede over it since they control their own elections.

& when it’s over they’re all going to pretend they never even supported him, like they do now with W/Cheney.

2029: “stop talking about trump/TDS”
2030: “I didn’t like trump, but”
2031-2034: “I didn’t actually support trump”
2035: “trump was a democrat”

I found out the normal way, which was to write a page-long letter to Santa asking him about the logistics of visiting houses around the world, and finding it in the morning with "Santa is very busy" written in my Dad's handwriting

Venezuela stole oil and land from the United States?

That's impressive for a country 1,700 miles away.

How exactly did they manage to steal our oil and land? Slip 'em into their pocket while browsing the magazine rack?

Especially because “ethical AI” tends to be a stand-in for “AI alignment” which raises two obvious questions:
1-alignment with what?; &
2-how does one align an unfixed, constantly changing, product with fixed values?

Alignment, like moderation, is strictly PR. It is not intended to succeed.

The values aren't fixed, either. Ethical norms, like safety rules, are often written in blood, after the fact.

Uber also charged Uber One customers before their billing date.

This included charging users with free trials that had not yet ended.

Uber also improperly used "negative option" marketing tactics for free trials — automatically charging users if they did not proactively cancel their free trial.

Uber enrolled customers in Uber One subscriptions without their consent.

It also made it extraordinarily difficult to cancel Uber One subscriptions once they were signed up.

Users were required to take at least 12 different actions and navigate a maze of 7 screens to cancel their subscriptions.

Correct. The takeaway is to temper your hopes at this stage. This result *is* a small point of light, but it's too early to say it will grow into something bigger yet.

Fake research & fake journals are on the verge of burying real research & real journals bcz. of the proliferation & use of weaponized bots combined with easy availability of consumer-grade AI/LLMs. The battle for truth is engaged.

AI/LLMs are marketed as great tools to solve problems, get advice, create images & punch far above one's "weight class" to effectively communicate & persuade others.

They are anti-reality, anti-truth, anti-human, destructive multi-modal force-multiplier bullshit spreaders aimed directly at society

Or the Christian Nationalists she’s aligned with have gotten all they wanted from this administration and realized that Trump and the techbros, etc. are hurting there chances in the after Trump part, where they were thinking that they were the ones with a lock on power.

It didn't surprise most of us, and we couldn't think any lower, it did cause some of his right wing allies to publicly criticize him for it. He lost something by posting that in their eyes, and I think it's going to be a cumulative effect of things like that, that are eroding his base.
