No no, I disagree I think that shoving AI into all these apps is a solid plan on their behalf. People are going to stop recall and shut it off. So instead they put AI components into every app, It now has the right to overview everything you’re doing and every app collects data on you sending it home to update their personalized models for you so they can better sell you products.

Microsoft Teams: Awww, come on, you just motioned all of me.

A good project manager is generally worth a couple of bodies they’re helping manage. Unless your teams are all comprised of Superstars, they get more done with less.

There’s not enough information supplied.

Business Insider has a substantial paywall version. It’s an essay from Brittany Patterson read to a Jane Ridley, verified by Business Insider.

It’s much more detailed and less flowery than Reason.

Mother of 4

Soren (tween in question) is homeschooled

Had to take another 1/4 to the doctor

Soren could not be found so they left him, they have 16 acres, she assumed he was outside

She took 1/4 to the doctor

Soren got bored and went to talk to a friend’s grandmother that worked at a gas station, she wasn’t there, he went to the Dollar Store, police brought him home.

Was stopped by a concerned neighbor, he ignored her and kept walking. She called the cops.

Deputy hauled her off, booked her and locked her up under arrest on a charge of wreckless conduct. Out on bail.

wreckless conduct: Daring or bold, but also irresponsible Willfully disregarding rules, norms, or social conventions Showing a lack of concern for consequences or potential harm to others

The deputy said it wasn’t safe because it was a dangerous road. She said all kinds of things could have happened, including being kidnapped.

30 MPH road

Maybe he was doing something he REALLY shouldn’t have been doing.

Maybe they had it out for her for truancy vs homeschooling

Maybe she REALLY pissed in the deputy’s Wheaties,

Maybe it’s not the first time?

Smalltown shenanigans, police overreach, nanny state neighbors are friends with the cops.

Take your pick; it might make a nice bingo card.

I love it! Now you just need a story line :) hell just work em into an existing line :)

Can we please start holding the democrats responsible

Can we please stop pretending that no one wants that and just making it the only answer every time someone wants someone to stop doing something else shitty? YES I want the democrats to be responsible for for a third party to make it in, but this broken record crap is getting old.

OK, you need to start a comic series of these, switch to her and waddles in the next frame. You will have a massive following

“wife”s nudes on state sponsored news?

I doubt he cares about that at all… kinda shocked he doesn’t just come out and say yeah, that’s what I’m fucking.

Then again, that was just their warning shot that they’re serious. If they have something more substantial…

There are photos of him hanging with Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell said in court that he frequented Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, where she would introduce him to her friends and acquaintances.

If there was anything to that, and the KGB had some media to support that fact. Certainly, some decent part of his base is unshakable, but not the whole base. It would have to be some pretty gross crap, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near impossible.

So the story goes, they have blackmail against him. Then he made some comments that he might not pay up after getting in. When they released blackmail, it was in order to make sure he pays, not to just call retribution. They have more, he’s their sock puppet.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t made a list up of right-wing drivel to ‘ban’ and have it disappear

Elon Mush: too rich to care.

ok ok, Mostly too rich to care, he’s pretty thin skinned.

Seriously though, when he was forced to complete the purchase of twitter, I thought he was just an idiot who couldn’t run a company. Over the years, I’ve come to believe that he’s an idiot who doesn’t care about anything but staying rich and none of the really stupid stuff he’s doing pushes the needle.

He’s still an idiot, but if it doesn’t break him, he just wants the attention and more opportunities to make more money.

Every single one of those answers is straight out of the mouths of Fox News. If you don’t disable open nationwide propaganda broadcasts, you’ll never fix the problem.

No, ham radio deluxe, Topaz Labs, phrase Express, on Black Friday they’re half their normal price, if you come back in February it is twice the price that it is on Black Friday. Software companies are a special case. While it takes a lot of money and or effort to make their product, minting that product is particularly cheap. Same concept for steam sales. The real advantage is selling the product very cheaply a couple of days a year gets it out in the public more and they end up with more word of mouth sales.

It’ll run on 3rg gen if you patch out the install limiter, who knows how long they’ll let that work.

It’s not my main but I do have edge installed on Linux. I keep it around That’s both a vanilla Chrome install and the GPT-4 interface.

I keep most of my AI local but once in a while I need something that’s outside of the llama realm

Mostly electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment. Honestly though, that’s probably just a matter of convenience because we import most of that stuff.

Bernie could actually get republican voters

nah, not buying that one. Never seen ANY inclination for them to call him anything but a dirty socialist.

People continuingly act like 1/3 of the country just doesn’t vote.

do you have any data that suggests overwise?

We saw in 08 with Obama they’ll show up for a Dem running a populist campaign,

63.6% turnout. Less white votes, more minority votes than 2000 or even 2004

Neoliberalism isn’t popular enough to win elections

This we can ardently agree on.

It wasn’t disrespect, it was outright fear.

They’re afraid that someone is going to get into that position that can’t be bought and is going to grandstand to the public to ask for the things that donors won’t like.

Corporations are spending a lot of money to own the voices in the government, they don’t want to make any rich people angry.
