He is not a smart man.

Maybe? Didn’t seem like a sales job at the time, more like a warning. You could be right though.

I wish I could find the article. It was researchers and they were freaked out just as much as anyone else. It’s like slightly over chance that it “thought,” not some huge revolutionary leap.

Yep, this is a distraction from the stock market melt down.

I read an article that it can “think” in small chunks. They don’t know how much though. This was also months ago, it’s probably expanded by now.

Put the /s on, we need it these days.

It wasn’t because of sanctions or not doing any trade with Russia, this bears repeating from the article:

However, nations with even less trade with the US - such as Syria, which exported $11m of products last year according to UN data quoted by Trading Economics - were on the list.

According to the Office of the US Trade Representative, the US imported goods from Russia worth $3.5bn (£2.7bn) in 2024. It mainly consisted of fertilisers, nuclear fuel and some metals, according to Trading Economics and Russian media.

Support Wikipedia! They’re awesome and are our backbone.

My friend has one of those Japanese ones. It also has a warmed toilet seat. When I came out, I said that seat is amazing and they said people never come out of there. I proposed that they were napping on the seat. Why do seat warmers feel so good? The thing is, I could never figure out how to make the actual bidet part work. I suspect the people who took a long time were also trying to test it out, but didn’t know how. Or maybe they did and enjoyed it?

I have too. I’ve been ignorant and confidently wrong occasionally.

I think his brand is to make them feel special and then make them prostitutes. I guess it could be both.

I keep wondering what Elon wanted with all of our information from the government. He has who we are, our relatives, our net worth, where we live and have lived. Now he’s probably going to feed it into his AI. Why though?

I like “Hot” and “Top Six Hours” myself. “Scaled” and “New” aren’t bad if you’re looking for more content.

Daddy issues bringing the billionaires together.

Apparently, or they think someone else will do it.

Honestly, yes. I thought he would do stupid shit like last time, but the economy would still be okay. Shakey, but do alright. Also, I didn’t expect concentration camps in the first week either. Now he’s selling off our national parks to his tech bro friends and dismantling every social service we have. I didn’t expect this.

I don’t get why the millionaires aren’t giving more pushback. They’re not going to be safe either from him.

Is it wrong that I love what this article is doing in the article, is explained in this paragraph?:

While some social media companies might seek to capture the fediverse, others might seek to undermine its reputation by highlighting some of its unsavory uses. This has happened with several beneficial alternative technologies in the past, such as peer-to-peer file sharing, the dark web and end-to-end encryption.

The biggest issue facing the Fediverse IMO, is that one large instance can control what most of the fediverse sees. The user would never know if things were getting pulled, posted much later when no one is on or shadow banned.

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic. They’re extorting the insurance agency. They’re basically saying that they’re going to drop everyone’s policies if the insurance regulator for the state doesn’t allow them to raise the rates. They’re also vastly overestimating how much they will have to pay out because their insurance will be paying State Farm. It’s a mob deal?

“It would be a shame if we couldn’t insure half your state.”

“Our people look at this and say, ‘S—, we’ve got like maybe $5 billion that we’re short if something happens.’ We’ll go to the Department of Insurance and say, ‘We’re overexposed here, you have to let us catch up our [rates]’. … He’ll say ‘Nah.’ And we’ll say, ‘OK, then we are going to cancel these policies,’ ” Kirkpatrick said in the video, recorded surreptitiously in January after the fires.

The company has estimated the Pacific Palisades, Eaton and other fires on Jan. 7 will cost it more than $7 billion, though with reinsurance its net losses will be closer to $600 million.
