Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but wars are MUCH harder to back out of than tariffs are...

Just when you think they couldn't get any dumber.

There are reasons that we don't do a draft anymore.

Never trust any of these people.

That are all, at BEST, con men. At worst, well, you can use your imagination and still probably not go far enough...

We love the uneducated

And all for something that doesn't actually work. If you had people who were confidently wrong 40% of the time, deleted production, encouraged people to literally self delete, etc etc etc you wouldn't keep them around.

And this is roughly the /best/ that this tech is going to get

You can't outsource critical thinking and still be able to think critically.

Barreling headlong into Idiocracy

So he's saying that Iran bombed their own school full of kids because they can't aim?

Seriously?

I got a scammy looking offer in the mail and googled "is X a scam?" and because the website for X has "X is not a scam" on their main page, Gemini said no despite lots of reddit posts about being scammed.

Sadly it pretty much always was.

I have a container of it in the kitchen =]

They aren't replacing people with LLMs. As is the case with a lot of companies, they are using the "We're investing in AI" excuse to cut headcount and try to save costs without looking like they're trying to save themselves

Georgia Tech researchers reverse-engineered Life360 / Tile's protocol and found it broadcasts your location in plaintext, uses a MAC address that never changes, and the company changed their privacy policy to admit they sell your precise location data 🔓📡

Did we forget imprisoning Native peoples in "reservations" and stripping away their language and culture in "boarding schools"?

Never trust these idiots. Any of them.
