AI doom or not, something has shifted with AI recently. The guardrails that kept AI sitting in a chatbox are gone, the models are better, there's more compute.

AI agents are everywhere. They are annoying as hell. IMO the situation is going to get much worse

Crazy how politicians rose and fell based on the question of “who lost China”
Maybe one day we’ll direct the appropriate opprobrium towards the moron who lost our closest ally.

The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week.

It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

So the GOP is celebrating a guy who created a darknet marketplace for heroin and meth, and put out multiple muder-for-hire contacts to conceal his crimes.
LMAO this guy is being featured at Trumpapalooza because Trump pardoned him

It's quite incredible how enormously lucky the US administration has been in terms of its economic inheritance - this is the kind of capex boom econ nerds have been yelling for since the GFC - and how determined they seem to be to squander it.

How are you supposed to negotiate peace between countries and not visit one of them?
I presume Jared finally found some business deal he could negotiate in Ukraine on the side so it’s worth going now.
⚡️Breaking: US envoys Witkoff, Kushner arrive in Ukraine for the first time to discuss peace talks, sources say.

The arrival came only a day after the two envoys held more than three hours of talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, a discussion both sides described as "substantive."

I do think “every rich person went insane during covid because it was the first time they’ve been inconvenienced in decades” felt a little reductive at first but damn if isn’t more and more compelling as the years drag on

The reason JKR is suddenly saying more and more “moderate” seeming things is not because her views are “moderate”, you daft shits. It’s because she is registering that her extremely overtly transphobic points are now making her very unpopular.

while milo gets to chit chat on TV with clear access to safety and basic needs, the US is flying untold numbers of immigrants to unsafe countries of origin or other countries where they don't speak the language or know anyone.

Crossing guards not only save more lives than any police department, they also kill far fewer people than any police department in the process.

“Thin blue line” is pr for the police engaging in crossing guard stolen valor.

This is why CEO’s are so popular.
Former Target Vice-Chair Gerry Storch, on CNBC:

"In some ways, tariffs have been good for retailers." They raised prices last year when tariffs hit -- and now that they're getting tariff refunds, they're sure not LOWERING prices.

so Trump 2.0’s war on every single non-evil job did destroy my career and traumatize me a lil bit, but the thing is that, like many people in my position, I’m quite capable of synthesizing that trauma into a single-minded thirst for revenge
they explicitly say they want to traumatize public servants

A competent press corps would be all over him— wtf does that mean? Is the president insane? How do you deploy the military against the bond market? This should be top of the fold, top of every newscast but we are being sanewashed to death
Reporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.?

Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.

So do tariffs affect prices or do they not? Don’t foreigners pay the tariffs? So why does eliminating tariffs on beef lower the price? Explain this to me Donny. I’m confused
