the Biden administration ( i hated sleepy Joe) was so much more competent and less corrupt then these guys.
it's not even close.
"Hunter bidens laptop!!" seems so distant and quaint.
the Pentagon declared Anthropic a supply chain risk, attempting to punitively destroy the company, then is adopting their product; please name a similarly asinine and farcical event from ANY administration.
your whataboutism is just not capable of standing up to the weaponized idiocy of these guys.
The manipulation of crypto markets, based on the timing of military attacks, is such open corruption, under any other administration there would be an immediate special prosecutor and impeachment.
Forget the crypto markets, it was obvious that multibillion dollar profits were being made on well-timed trades in stock and options markets before every tariff announcement.
I really, really hope that when Trump is out of office and a Democrat is back in, they'll be willing to play exactly as dirty going after Trump's enemies. I think it will be a good lesson on why the rule of law and human rights are so indispensable. No more going high while they go low, that's how we get faceless men from the government showing up to our doors intent on violating our rights.
Two wings of the same bird, the fight will always be between working class and the elites. Just know that when you fall for control opposition manipulation these people get a good laugh out of every second of arguing
Yeah everyone knows we're in a class war, you're not profound. This administration is still unique in it's levels of corruption and reality distortion.
it's an interesting question: how much more productive would we all be if we were all as savvy/literate/productive with computers as some hypothetical comparator (I'm not sure programmers are the right comparison to make)?
for example, i am in operations and strategy, but have always wanted to be more technical because i could see the value for many many tasks. however, the learning curve was steep and so learning and doing other things drove better returns for me.
now, LLMs make learning basic concepts and executing simple tasks extremely easy, and i am realizing a higher level of productivity then previously; i used codex to do a test data migration and then evaluate the data quality. i could simply not have done this previously, but it is a meaningful change for me, that i can execute on this.
there is no maintenance burden: i don't have to keep the code alive. it simply sped up an otherwise manual and non repeated task.
i think that's what's so interesting and concerning about this technology: i think power and productivity will flow more broadly across the workforce. this will result in relative winners and losers, and some who will experience no real change at all.
similarly to the costs and benefits of mobile devices diffusing technology access; it changed some things, it created winners and losers and yet our daily lives are recognizable to someone from 50 or even more years ago.
the culture section of this writeup links to explicitly adult/erotic content in the footnotes and discusses 'adult themes' directly. his caution seems reasonable.
the no kings movement draws a line between no kings in the USA, and leaving other countries to pursue the same.
didn't Donald Trump campaign on no more foreign wars? doesn't America First mean not starting some forever war?
and if there is a good case for intervention: then make it! what are the objectives? Regime change? we killed most of their leadership, and they are still running the show. We killed Osama... and then fled Afghanistan decades later. why is there such a short memory in this case? these dudes HATE US: their recruiting propaganda gets more effective with every bomb we drop on them.
and if regime change is so important, than surely we will invade North Korea next right? and Russia? what about them? how about Venezuela? ohhh, yeah we left the regime in place, with no change for the people living under it.
perhaps was controlling oil the key objective? well... we stopped sanctioning the Iranian regime, and they are still in a position to stop traffic in Hormuz: the current terms they are asking gives them more control over the strait, rather than less?
so what the hell is our objective? can we just admit that we have no idea what we're doing, because we have no strategy?
Be an apologist for something that isn't truly riddled with internal inconsistency.
2)Sleepy Joe didn't pick a fight with the Pope
and that's just in the last month!
but that won't change your mind. nothing will.
