    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    He's quite fortunate we're not living in an era of unprecedentedly frequent and unpredictable power outages. 🤔

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    By definition, anyone running for national office should be focusing exclusively on national or international issues. Everything more local is what state, county and municipal governments are for. (Example: usually when New York mayors make the news, it's for dealing with "little stupid stuff"...

    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    Normally I'd be concerned, even at the best of times, about letting LLMs do science things because they're complete black boxes that nobody, even their creators, know how they actually work. Or what to do if they stop working right. But... this is meteorology we're talking about. It's such an...

    New Zealand election year

    Good to know even the openly-xenophobic party doesn't tolerate sexism. And I would say supporting UBI is enough to deserve being called a communist. Even the actual communists didn't go that far, instead forcing everyone to work for the good of the people, unless they physically couldn't I assume.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Of course it does. That's what this is really about anyway. They'd go around tearing all the existing ones off people's roofs if they thought they could get away with it.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    I'd vote for him just over #14. There are some chuds around here who like to take their straight-piped (and technically already illegal due to emissions laws) beaters out on the road at like three in the morning, or worse, park at the intersection jacking off their engines for multiple lights...

    Iran. Nuff said.

    Legislative housekeeping always takes a back seat to pressing issues. It's honestly a wonder that they find time to get around to it at all, most of the time.

    AI don't trust techbros

    The problem is that it's only able to do what it does because it steals data it's not legally allowed to use, so nothing it does can ever be legitimate. In theory it's possible to have a model that's trained exclusively on data that's public domain or has been donated for that purpose, but so...

    Warner Discovery up for sale

    At some point you have to wonder how this one company keeps bouncing around from one owner to another like a white elephant while the rest of the entertainment industry weathers flop after flop and keeps on ticking. If I believed it was cursed (like Commodore), I'd say let Ellison grab the hot...

    Even Linus Torvalds is embracing AI. At this point the only way to escape is going to be to either go live in a cabin in the woods or become Amish.

    If we're at the point where purposely staging an incident where your product almost destroys someone else's is the sort of thing that makes shareholders excited, that has far more worrying implications than I even realized. It means shareholders yearn for a true cyberpunk dystopia where...

    Iran. Nuff said.

    You know, my main rebuttal to complaints about Mamdani's views on the Middle East was, who the hell cares, he's running for mayor of New York, not the president of the whole-ass country, anything related to this issue is way outside his jurisdiction. That is, however, contingent on him knowing...

    The Midterms

    I'd say McFeeters has a solid chance of becoming the first American in history to win a gubernatorial election by write-in, since he's still a Republican running in Alabama and all, but I get the impression that Tubbervile is considered enough of a "hometown hero" by the people whose hometown he...

    They interfered just as much in the election he actually did win, and nobody gave a rat's ass about that. Dunno why anyone would expect this to matter.
