We don't need DHS. We don't need ICE. CBP is rotten from the core & needs to be fundamentally undone.

Incredibly sad and tragic news from Six Flags over Georgia today. Based on current reporting, the restraints on one of the trains of Goliath, the 2006 large steel roller coaster, and the park's premier attraction, failed and at least one rider was ejected as it approached the final brake run.

If humans did what we are now allowing AI to get away with, they would be in jail, awaiting trial for massive prison terms and financial death sentences for their companies.
But because the bots they created and controlled did it, we just shrug our shoulders?

80% of AI news at this point consists of a company announcing “we wrote a computer virus” then there’s something about the apocalypse or regulation, then the next news story is like “we wrote another computer virus.”

If Trump really had evidence that a foreign nation had rigged the 2020 election, he wouldn't wait three days to talk about it on TV -- he would just have our intelligence services release it.
He would pre-brief members of Congress because he would be asking for a declaration of War.
He has nothing.

Trump just doesn't have the cards. He doesn't "carry a Big Stick", as Teddy Roosevelt would say.
This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.

“Georgia Power is required to design rates for new data centers to ensure they’re not shifting costs to everyone else, and we finally have some receipts, and it’s not pretty.”

Amazing how, despite claiming 'America First' and 'Energy Independence' and 'Drill Baby Drill', they never lift a finger to suggest that the thing holding that back is refining capability for the crude oil that we actually produce, rather than the sour crude we source from everywhere else...

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
