Dying alone is far more preferable than living a miserable life in which you are lonely perhaps resentful, and becoming a shell of yourself.

Because it isn’t about children. They need a reason for national and global Internet IDs, and “protecting children” is a fantastic reason to require every human to forfeit anonymity and identify themselves online.

Except he isn't. It's only a very limited ban to the biggest platforms in order to send tax payer money to his friends who run digital id companies. It'll make kids less safe by driving them to unregulated encrypted apps.

I seriously would give up the entire Fast and the Furious franchise for a sequel to this.

Like I said Israel wants war. It’s time to cut them completely off.

The fuck it is. I bet Israel starts blowing people up again real soon.

Ford believes you don't actually own your car.

How do you figure? Selling tokens has no future. It's all gonna be open source.

The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward. I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress. When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment. Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks. They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around. Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits? The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.

There is no moat. There is no special sauce.

This wouldn't be the worst possible outcome for Xbox, which includes the possibility of being sold. Microsoft has a history of running hardware products into the ground. I know of another company with an X in it that could do wonders with it.

If models like Fable 5 are already being kept away from the public, imagine the drama once AGI shows up.

wow "The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States" This should lead to an acceleration in AI development in the EU and China and other regions which have some money (India, Japan, South Korea). We may see some big announcements soon: more funding, bigger projects, and a stronger push for domestic AI infrastructure. This may actually be a good thing. It will likely be cancelled any day, but the acceleration in the EU and China won't stop, because no one can be sure if or when such a policy could be put in place again. If access to Fable 5 can be closed, what about AGI and ASI?

They cut it out, but she threatened to fight me twice and the first time, I responded with “what ratchet shit is this.”

Well, that's obvious.

‼️ SEND THIS VIDEO TO EVERY MODERATE, INDEPENDENT AND LIBERTARIAN YOU KNOW ‼️ MAGA thinks that you are less than them… they want you to vote Republican but they don’t think your opinion matters because you’re not high up on their “hierarchy.” Why would you ever vote for JD Vance? Why would you ever vote for Marco Rubio?

The MAGA cult is genuinely worse than the left. Defending Epstein now?? Lord…you cannot detest these “people” enough.

“My preference has always been to take Kharg Island… I don't know that America has the stomach for it… You'd make a fortune." He’s talking about sacrificing thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of American soldier’s lives. So he and his buddies can make a fortune. That’s what he thinks we don’t have the stomach for.

"White people have no culture." Meanwhile, white people:

In other words, things started falling apart when Xbox/Microsoft started buying studios....

Wrecking the economy, starting wars, bombing civilian infrastructure… aren’t all of these things things Republicans said would happen under a Kamala presidency?
