They do a lot of "people in the industry are saying x" stories, like this one. The source then will often be a tweet or linked in post with a dozen likes or something, so not the height of journalism.
It's sad to say but you get used to it, just like you get used to crazy people on the road. It's actually better because the person isn't operating a ton of metal at 60 mph. Also you can hear/see the crazy ones and try to keep your distance, whereas on the road some guy could be yelling that he's going to kill you for going a bit too slow and you won't know until he cuts you off dangerously close. Like others have said statistically your always way safer on a bus then in a car.
Why would the billionaires pay 5% when they can spend less then 1% flooding the tvs and mailboxes of Californiana with ads that this will destroy the economy?
The article is partially a response to this article from jacobin which makes some good points, chief of which the author doesn't really address in that they'll just be built somewhere else. There will always be some city or state or country that will allow them being built and this sort of NIMBY activism only really protects the better off people who have the free time to attend city hall meetings.
Also the author seems to equate the means with the end. The jacobin article is criticizing the end goal being a blanket moratorium instead of regulation targeting the harms. It doesn't say anything about the means, but the author of this one equates there criticism of the movements aims to be an elitist criticism of the grassroots organizing of the movement, which I assume the jacobin author would be more then fine with as long as it's directed towards reasonable goals.
Technically this would boost "the economy" in the way these guys measure it by increasing corporate profits and stock values because companies will be able to squeeze there workers for more output with the greater threat of unaided unemployment.
But lowering wages would decrease consumer spending
A majority of consumer spending is now done by the top 20%, as long as this doesn't effect them the corporate overlords don't give a fuck.
Probably a lot on bombs, fuel, inflation etc. but this isn't really costing us anything. These were funds that Iran held in the US prior to trump pulling out of the iran deal the first time and were frozen because of sanctions. So it's more returning money that we stole rather then paying Iran with US taxpayer money.
This means you should expect to have to prove your citizenship to use Anthropic models
I doubt this will continue, more then half of the silicon valley workforce are immigrants or foreign born, and most of them have become dependent on AI. Just like the h1b issue trumps going to have to roll this back once thiel and the rest of the silicon valley billionaires tell him to.
She graduated from harvard medical school and practiced medicine for 25 years before she entered politics, I sincerely doubt she believes either autism is a disease that can be cured or that crystals have anything to do with it.
Meanwhile her platform on disability rights is leagues ahead of Kamala and the Dems
You can hate Stein for being a spoiler, but there's no need to spread lies about her.
Sex work back then was, I think, a lot more about the sex act.
Nah, there has been a sort of "escort / hooker distinction" forever. In ancient greece they had pornai who were mostly slaves used almost exclusively for sex, and hetaira who were educated and usually free(libra not gratis) and were even allowed in symposiums(salons). There's always been class distinctions with sex work.
It was a dirty election, and it’s happening again right now in California.
For those out of the loop they're still counting votes for the primary election in California that happened a week ago. Top two vote getters in the primary advance regardless of party. The moderate dem Becerra has already advanced, it's now down to the Republican Hilton who holds a shrinking lead and the more progressive dem Steyer who's gaining on him. Trump wants to shutdown voting so Hilton can keep his lead even though there's still millions of ballots outstanding that could very well push Steyer over the edge.
More powerful flares would be relevant though, I don't think earths atmosphere could survive a flare 10,000 times more powerful then what the sun puts out
