One comforting thing about the current crop of US leaders is that the inevitable death that comes for us all doesn’t care how much they weasel and maneuver.
I’m constantly amazed that few of them seem to care what legacy they’re building.
When I’m gone, a bunch of people will remember me, and genuinely miss me. I figure it’ll be a solid half dozen, for sure. Probably dozens, even.
Yes, I’ve invested in people’s lives and welfares a great deal.
But I’ve also just managed to not present myself as incredibly racist or everybody-interesting-phobic.
I think both of those life choices factor into how I’ll be remembered.
I cannot fathom making this much of an ass of myself, perhaps because my mother raised me correctly.
And I’m not setting some high bar here. I make an ass of myself plenty. Just not this much.
Edit: I should clarify, my disgust is with starting this kind of crap while supposedly being a world leader. Shutting someone up who started this kind of crap, I’m all for.
When I saw this this morning, I laughed so hard I almost fell out of bed 😭
Yikes to the fact that Jasmine Crockett received PAC donations from crypto and voted with other Dems to provide military aid to Israel, but at least there’s some entertainment in watching her eat up Republicans like MTG whenever they pull some bullshit like that.
It can be, but I don’t think sexuality was relevant in this exchange about fakeness and feminine/masculine presentation.
MTG used something feminine as an insult and the response was that MTG does something similar but on the masculine end of the spectrum. It sounded to me like she was calling MTG a hypocrit, not gay.
Butch is one end of a spectrum with femme on the other end. It can be used insultingly, but it’s not anti-gay. If anything it’s extremely gay.
It might be slightly sexist to throw at someone unprompted, but I think it’s pretty fine in this context. It’s not like she’s using it on a trans woman. She’s biting back at another cis woman who attacked her appearance by telling her she looks masculine, showing she can go low too, and is a better at it. She even alliterates literally 6 words in a row during a coherent insult. MTG couldn’t do that if she had all week.
It is a lot like watching two people fight I think. You don’t have to like either of them to enjoy watching them beat each other up, but it isn’t any fun if it is just one person battering the other.
In the US, you can either vote for every position on the ballot indvidually (dozens or more, dog catcher to prez), or you can vote “straight ticket” for the party, Dem or Repub. That’s how people like her get elected.
I don’t think people there love love her, but something something owning the libs something.
Many USian voters are entranced with the idea of having a firebrand provocateur on their side, someone who is able to get a rise out of their political opponents (not even totally excluding myself as it can be entertaining sometimes). And others just don’t care as long as the other side doesn’t win – to them, keeping the other side out of power is more important than putting a competent person in the seat.
I would be careful trusting everything said in this video and taking it at face value.
He touches on a broad range of different AI related news, but doesn’t seem to fully grasp the technology himself (I’m basing this statement on his “evidence” from the 8 min mark).
He seems to be running a channel that’s heavily centered on stock market related content. And it feels like he’s putting his own spin on every topic he touches in this video.
Overall, it’s not the worst video, but I would rather base my information from better informed sources.
What he should have done was to set the baseline by defining what AI actually is and then proceed to compare what these companies are doing with that definition. Instead we have a list of AI news stories covering Amazon Fresh Stores, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Copilot (powered by ChatGPT) and his own take on how those stories mean that everything is faked.
