  • AOC trolls Trump, accuses him of falling asleep at Knicks game

    Jump

  • The president ruined a basketball game with his presence and took a nap during it while there's a goddamn war going on that he is directly involved with. People are right to care that the president is wasting time like this instead of doing his job. This was an attempt to siphon the glory of a major cultural event, so it's important to fight back against that and ensure it fails. If it won't pressure him to do his job, it will at least depress his approval ratings.

  • Right-wing media melts down as Spencer Pratt sinks in vote count

  • Sorry, in case it wasn't clear, I do agree with you. I just didn't want to write all that out and instead reverted to the very easy statement previously mentioned.

  • Xavier Becerra advances in California’s hotly contested governor’s race

    Jump

  • With this, Republicans have a much better shot at winning the governor's seat. Democrats love chasing those marginal victories and are perfectly happy losing to fascism if it prevents winning with progressive policies.

  • Good luck out there.

  • You think we live in a completely rational society that operates off market fundamentals like "supply and demand"? That is like planning a road trip assuming you'll drive on a frictionless flat plane in a vacuum.

    If supply and demand were truly adhered to, Boeing airplanes would be out of business after their doors falling off mid flight became widely knwon. Tesla would be out of business since their cars break when going into a carwash. Several banks would be out of business after gambling on housing speculation.

    The idea that we live in a self regulating society that operates off The Invisible Hand is pure fantasy. Capitalism picks winners and losers all the time while making excuses swallowed by rubes like you.

  • Good luck out there.

  • Machine learning is a monkey bashing keys on a typewriter. Improvements will result in a better typewriter, so the monkey will more often hit the good keys instead of the bad ones, but it won't result in a smarter monkey. It will still be random because probability is inherent to the technology, which means that AI will never be trustworthy. Would you ever trust a calculator that sometimes says 1+1=3? Even if it only did that 1% of the time?

    You aren't wrong about GenAI replacing jobs though, because there are people willing to use faulty, untrustworthy tools. Your manager, people in the C-suite, Business Idiots who have no idea what the the job actually needs to function properly are being tricked into thinking that chat boxes will let them cut operational costs without incurring any significant consequences.

    It doesn't really matter how good or not AI is; the reason jobs are being cut is because Business Idiots with more money than sense fire people based on vibes. This has been a known problem since the 1980's when Jack Welch destroyed GE through his idiotic "Rank and Yank" strategy. His foolish business practices made a lot of money in the short term, which is why he is lauded as the CEO of the Century, even though those same business practices destroyed one of the greatest American companies in a handful of years.

  • The Case for California’s Billionaire Wealth Tax

    Jump

  • Capital flight is a myth. Wealthy people do business in liberal cities because that's where all the talent is. Liberal cities are where all the talent is because those places use taxes to improve the quality of life. Wealthy businesses do not attract talented workers; talented workers atteact wealthy businesses.

    When NY fought against Amazon getting a sweetheart deal to build a warehouse, bootlickers came out of the woodwork to claim it was a great idea. That NY needed to offer Amazon tax breaks and grants because it would create jobs.

    Progressives told Amazon to eat shit. Amazon has continued to beg to be allowed to do business in NY. They are negotiating with the current mayor Mamdani because it's fuckin NYC, of course they wanna do business there.

  • Have you ever camped out or queued up for the launch of a game, console, or other media?

    Jump

  • Went for the midnight release of Death Stranding. I wasn't really interested in the game, but Hideo Kojima was there signing games, so I went and got his signature and a picture.

    It's not really my type of game and I never finished it, but I love Kojima and I'm happy I got the signature.

  • How Xavier Becerra became the Joe Biden of California’s governor race

    Jump

  • Mahan is being supported by Silicon Valley tech billionaires. That should disqualify him immediately. He's a big supporter of AI and wants to put AI into healthcare and education. He talks a lot about building housing, but it's all public-private partnerships that have historically been free money for developers instead of solving the problem. He talks about addressing homelessness, but he's moved money away from the solution, which is government affordable housing, and into temporary interim housing, which is a short term bandaid.

  • I Asked AI to Count My Carbs 27,000 Times. It Couldn’t Give Me the Same Answer Twice.

    Jump

  • Yes, a pencil can do a whole bunch of different. things. GenAI cannot do things. It has no purpose. Pencils were made to write stuff. GenAI was made to ???. It is a technology in search of a problem to address. A niche to fill. It has no purpose as it stands, yet it is supposedly the most important thing ever to the point where the rich and wealthy are losing their minds investing into it on the vague hopes that it'll do something. They've even got our government in on it; the US economy is being dangerously propped up by this industry that doesn't solve any problems or fulfill any purpose. All the things it does are novelties and even then, it does those things poorly and unreliably.

  • Tools at home improvement stores were made to fulfill a specific purpose. GenAI still does not have a purpose it fulfills despite having hundreds of billions of dollars invested, not to mention all the other resources it's sucking up.

  • An intern probably would not go on a mass deletion spree. Also, an intern doesn't eat a billion gpus.

  • I hope you are not seriously advocating using the lying machine for therapy. You would get more value talking to a finger puppet.

  • Virginia court puts pause on voter-passed congressional maps boosting Democrats

  • Team Airbud is just mad the opposing team got their own dog now. Dems tried to get dogs banned from playing, but when all the legal channels to instill fairness have been blocked, you gotta train up your own dunking dogs.

  • ‘I know what it requires’: Harris on why she’s thinking about running for president in 2028

    Jump

  • Kamala Harris did not lose because of those qualities. She lost because she ran as a diet Republican, going for a marginal victory.

  • Trump signs executive order limiting mail-in voting ahead of 2026 U.S. elections

  • I too wish that laws still mattered. Thankfully, they still matter a little bit, so there's still a chance for us to turn things around.

  • Montana halts permitting on all weekend rallies at Capitol, thwarts upcoming ‘No Kings’ event

    Jump

  • You complained that regular people aren't doing enough. I explained that regular people are doing stuff and now you are complaining about the way they are doing stuff. It sounds like you are the one ineffectually complaining.

    Jump

  • Do you think the Democratic Party decided to block DHS funding yesterday because they suddenly awoke to justice? The Democratic Party only felt comfortable doing this because they have seen there is widespread disapproval for the actions of ICE. I don't think it's a stretch to claim these protests have resulted in political action by elected representatives.

  • FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert

    Jump

  • Iran does not need to test California's air defenses. An easier way to hurt the USA would be to bomb US assets in the middle east or closing the Strait of Hormuz. Those are much easier to do for much bigger, immediate benefit.

    The cost benefit analysis of striking California doesn't make sense. The War on Terror showed how the USA would respond to a strike on US soil. The last thing Iran wants is for the citizens of the USA to be galvanized to increase military action in the middle east. Iran would have to be as stupid as the USA to overextend like that and they have not shown any signs of being that foolish.

    And yes, beyond all of this, I still think it is not possible for Iran to drone strike California anytime soon. The idea of secret Iranian sleeper cells in the US is absurd, on the level of secret Japanese sleeper cells during WW2.
