Every piece of US Military hardware destroyed for any reason is a net good for the world
When it was slow to write code, it was slow to accumulate technical debt. What is it about LLMs that won't result in accumulating technical debt even faster than before?

In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
Corporatist fascism, plain and simple.
DHS is trying to get tech companies to hand over data on Trump critics.
This is unconstitutional, and Congress must shut it down, before we turn into East Germany.

ceos are so fucking delusional. People cannot be more clear: we fucking hate AI being shoved in every product. And yet they still think if they push hard enough it's going to magically turn into money for them.
Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Good. I don't give a shit if people think it's performative or late to the game or whatever. Every damn celebrity in the country should be using their platform to push back against fascism.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
Weβre at the stage of fascism where people are being dragged out of their homes.
Children and babies are hit with chemical weapons.
Peaceful protesters shot in the face and blinded.
A woman shot & killed on camera and it wonβt even be investigated.
They condone this.
