OK, so now that Trump wants to turn the "triumphal arch" into a multipurpose facility, lets crowdsource additional ideas for other things we can get packaged into the arch.
I'll start: Lets add a delicatessen and call it "Archie's".

Now that hackers are using Claude to hack OpenAI, I can envision a near future where Claude and OpenAI models duke it out like Godzilla vs Mothra, destroying infrastructure while us humans serve as helpless spectators and victims.

As a fish, I can confirm he's an absolute moron because:
1) Unless his hypothetical boat has a super huge battery and this boat is in a swimming pool, he's not going to be electrocuted.
2) No fish in their right mind would eat him. Too much fatty mush. We have standards too!

Trump: "If I'm in an electric boat and I see I'm going down and the water is pouring in, so I know I'm going to be electrocuted, but 5 yards away there are sharks. Do I take the electrocution or do I go swimming with the sharks? I'll take the electrocution."

Is it just me, or are many items staying on the @bsky.app "Trending" list for 3-4 days?
Seems like there's enough going on in the world (and on bsky) to keep this list a bit more fresh, no?

This is exhibit # 1,491,201 for using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power.
WTF are we waiting for? For Trump to start literally nuking our allies and killing millions because they hurt his feelings? Is that what its going to take?

I dunno. The Chinese certainly have advanced robots and are quickly getting there with AI.
So maybe Trump is right that "Robots" won't be marching into *all* "Cities". Maybe they will only be marching into those of Chinese enemies?
I sure am relieved Trump's taking this seriously!

I challenge anyone to provide *any* evidence that Trump has exerted *any* oversight on AI.
Seriously, can you picture him analyzing AI LLMs and providing "on the spot guidance" a la Kim Jong Un at some new DPRK public works project?

Rejecting AI regulation, Trump posted that the only oversight needed is "a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT." How sad and dangerous that America is being held hostage by this moron.

When Trump talks about himself in 3rd person it just sounds like Trump's puppeteer Putin is doing the talking.
Trump: "Then, Trump is receiving an honor. I'll take it. Maybe it's the Congressional Medal of Honor."

I'll bet that if Iran proposed a deal to end the war where they gave up everything but insisted Trump say he was wrong....that we'd still be in this war until after Trump leaves office.
In his speech at the Republicans’ midterm convention, President Trump said that the war in Iran will end "very shortly" after Election Day.
