I can't deal with US politics right now and this thread.

I'm fucking Canadian and people upvoting this both sides nonsense is getting my blood boiling.

I thought this enlightened centrist shit was over with but people are bringing it up like they're some next-level IQ genius. When in reality they're trying their to push people to the right (whether they understand it or not).

What are you talking about the initial argument is completely insane to be begin with. I think Biden came into office and reduce child poverty or hunger or something by half as his first action.

We're gonna compare that to Trump destroying the economy, removing due process, open up national parks to logging, letting DOGE cut departments with corruption, invading other countries?

Correct, but still not even close to the same thing. More of this "balanced" stuff.

Anywho on the plus side, he's getting wrecked in the polls vs AOC who's looking to take his place though.

I thought the implication was being detained or jailed by US officials going back, like being sent to an El Salvador prison.

Pierre fancies himself a fancy lad after ditching his glasses I see.

More on the Liberty Phone

Besides the absurd cost ($1,999) for the terrible specs. It seems they're hiding where they're sourcing certain components like you said like the CPU, GPU,

I used to be a Bill Maher fan (like in my teens) his smugness was really off-putting though so I ignored them.

Religulous would have been more fun if he wasn't such a prick in it. His outro was annoying AF.

Bill Burr said he was on the side of the student protestors calling for an end to the Palestinian genocide. Then Bill Maher said (I'm paraphrasing) that it's the same as being pro-Hamas. Fuck Bill Maher.

He's still got like 40% approval rating. So many Americans are just stupid.

He let Trump say to Rogan's face that Trump never said "Lock her up". Never questioned it. Fuck Rogan.

This video fell into my feed: https://youtu.be/jRT9QVhCBm8

Plain clothes police officers scare the crap out of a guy in his car because they (falsely) suspect that guy was a violent attacker. That person, thinking it's a hijacking, tries to get away and accidentally runs over the cop killing him.

The police lie under oath and say that they identified themselves to him and he intentionally killed him knowing he's a cop.

As a bonus: Doug Ford and John Tory and Patrick Brown (Brampton mayor) all include their brain dead takes.

So yes, ACAB.

To be pedantic, it was people her husband hired.

What I'm learning about Trump is that my perceptions of "fuck you" money are warped. I figured anybody with that amount of money would be able to say "yes" and "no" to things that they agree with and all that. Tech bros bended the knee ahead of time in anticipation of this farce. However, at the current time it's absolutely insanity and they're keeping mum on the subject. They all have so "fuck you" money that they'll never run out of "fucks" to give but they won't change at all.

I guess maybe they're all inherently evil to begin with and they're getting exactly what they want so there's no reason to say "fuck you"

'cause he's a liar too

Did anyone check what the greatest intellectual Joe Rogan thinks of his change of mind?

I wonder what you guys expect out of your politicians. They're not supposed to be heroes.

Also, the fact that these come up now and are bringing up how unimpressive the Dems are are strange to me when mango Mussolini are causing havoc.

Were people deifying Obama like Trump? It seemed like most people were upset with him most of the time.

A complete random story but, I'm on the AI team at my company. However, I do infrastructure/application rather than the AI stuff. First off, I had to convince my company to move our data scientist to this team. They had him doing DevOps work (complete mismanagement of resources). Also, the work I was doing was SO unsatisfying with AI. We weren't tweaking any models. We were just shoving shit to ChatGPT. Now it was be interesting if you're doing RAG stuff maybe or other things. However, I was "crafting" my prompt and I could not give a shit less about writing a perfect prompt. I'm typically used to coding what I want but I had to find out how to write it properly: "please don't format it like X". Like I wasn't using AI to write code, it was a service endpoint.

During lunch with the AI team, they keep saying things like "we only have 10 years left at most". I was like, "but if you have AI spit out this code, if something goes wrong ... don't you need us to look into it?" they were like, "yeah but what if it can tell you exactly what the code is doing". I'm like, "but who's going to understand what it's saying ...?" "no, it can explain the type of problem to anyone".

I said, I feel like I'm talking to a libertarian right now. Every response seems to be some solution that doesn't exist.

Oh shit. Actually I completely forgot about that. I really didn't like his takes on that ...

I think he was arguing that it was going to be hugely costly to the developer to keep games running after the fact and how difficult it was going to be. I really wanted to give him a fair shake but it really did feel full of straw man stuff because the stopkillinggames stuff wasn't really about that.
