Pardon Industry Offers Rich Offenders a Path to Trump
One inmate paid lobbyists and lawyers with ties to the president’s team and walked free. Others are following his blueprint, but it is not always clear who can deliver.
A former nursing-home owner, who had been convicted of tax crimes, paid a lawyer and lobbyist at least $100,000 to help secure a pardon from President Trump and walked free. Others are following his blueprint in a lucrative pardon industry that has emerged around Trump.

Ai boosters are misinformation peddlers who have been lying about this since 2023 when they lied and said gpt 4 tricked a Taskrabbit into solving a captcha (it didn’t do this btw). These lies have enriched other liars and killed people and they are responsible

MAGA truly believes the rest of the world is populated by NPCs & therefore they can just romp through a level playing as if just for fun with no consequences.

A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”
Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity

This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.

It's really a reflection of how much the media and government has been captured by MAGA, you don't even have to lie well anymore.

a graph of year-on-year change in US tech employment
Brutal numbers for US tech sector jobs released today—overall, employment decreased by 12k last month and is down 57k over the last year
That's now nearly as bad as the worst of the 2024 tech-cession, and significantly worse than either the 2008 or 2020 recessions

Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.
