"Fun" fact about :

While most Western countries are concerned with extrajudicial security personnel from going after Chinese dissidents and other interference via secret police stations, Hungary just went and signed a deal with China: "lol, police from a totalitarian country officially patrolling our streets? sure thing"

Now is visiting

And these "police" are tearing down flags

And flags

Hungarians WTF? Your country is a joke

that's nice Pentagon. but couldn't we have done this a little bit sooner before all the bootlicking on terminal access? it's an company

granted, this is all "fog of war" stuff and it's probably not the whole story. i'm sure there was intelligence gathering and deception going on, "random" errors in terminals used by .

@webshinra @arstechnica with Wikipedia the deal has always been that it is free and open, and everyone who contributes to it is aware of that. If Wikimedia Foundation provides an API for LLM that money goes back into the nonprofit foundation which supports Wikipedia, not buying gold toilets. better deal than if the AI ghouls are screenscraping

Stack Overflow is monetizing user content as a bait and switch on the users for profit generation

Your comparison is bogus

The Fermi Paradox says we should have contacted alien life by now

The Great Filter says we haven't because a civilization's capacity for self-destruction increases to certainty over time

I thought for us it would be an exotic technology or scientific discovery that instantly destroys on a large scale

Nope. Far more depressing and mundane

We simply watched ourselves destroy our climate and lacked the will to do anything about it because someone was making money off it

After the parasite, that feeds off brain activity, starved to death leaving only a black spot, RFK jr was asked for a comment:

“Sometimes duck with cheese can purple. Tartar baby staples. Vaccines bad.”

For RFK Jr.'s supporters, having a brain worm is endearing and a positive.

@flexghost @emmreef

no, Joe Rogan fans do not have brain worms

they have similar clinical signs and symptoms as RFK Jr. fans but different underlying pathology: no brains

no brain, no worms

File this under the heading economics is not even a dismal science, because mainstream economics isn’t even science. Economics could actually be a rigorous discipline, if orthodoxy can be kicked out.

“ In contrast to its attitude to private debt, which it ignores, mainstream economics obsesses about government debt. But this volte-face doesn't besmirch its record of being 100% wrong.”

Yup. Just like they are always trying to push the ignorant lie transgender people are pedophiles, while in reality it's a constant drip of news of right wingers being pedophiles
