Do you think the same AI wrote this article as the one that made that fucked up image?

They think they’ll be the ones ordering the executions.

And how did they get what looks like pirated movie links onto IMDB?

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. Hopefully, it becomes a big thorn in Putin’s side. No sympathy for the Kadyrovs, though.

unrelated: my favorite Ramzan Kadyrov video. Sums up this guy pretty well.

Aren’t USA’s university students’ tuition subsidized by the federal government and states to some degree? But, foreign students are paying the full cost?

Won’t fewer foreign students mean more expensive education for USA residents?

I expect we’ll see SpaceX rockets with VTEC stickers trying to masquerade as performance rockets.

Yes. They already do this to some states in the USA that have similar laws.

VPNs get around this just fine.

I’m glad Fred Rogers didn’t live to see all of this.

“I thought he was going to win so I backed him. Now, it looks like he’ll lose so I’m going to act like he changed and pretend I was against this all along. Please, give me credit for ending the war in Ukraine no matter who wins.”

This is, essentially, a subsidy for the restaurant and other service industries. Taxpayers are now subsidizing the labor costs of waiters and other jobs that get paid primarily in tips.

I’d love to see service workers get paid a comfortable living wage. This is not the way to get there.

A tire for a 737 is about 110 kg. So, that’d be 45 tires.

It’s possible I know a guy from Ireland who lived in the US illegally for decades. He never went home for fear of not being allowed back in.

“Professional failures” AKA “crimes”

Danny Devito as Bilbo Baggins.

I misread “hosts” as “holds” and just thought “strange way to get them to the table but sounds about right.”

Subscriptions and licensing, supposedly.

$12B is just how much money investors put into it. The company’s valuation is $80B. Which is insane.

xAI has raised maybe $12B from investors. And, supposedly, makes $100M/yr.

The valuations are absurd.

I’m surprised the Twitter investors would approve this. Their worthless Twitter stock is now worthless xAI stock. How does that help them?

I guess they’ll try to take xAI public with a massively overpriced IPO.

They could try. They can compel you to open it with Face ID or fingerprint. If that’s turned off they cannot compel you to disclose your passcode. They can seize your phone. They cannot prevent you from entering the country.

They’re probably only going to do it with some kind of suspicion. But that suspicion could be the border protection officer is having a bad day.

How’d they get into his phone? Face or fingerprint?

Make sure you turn off biometrics before traveling. They can’t force you to disclose a passcode.

EDIT: Actually, if you have to travel to the USA, wipe your phone before you leave.
