If anything it was a misdirect.

When the world/news goes crazy, it’s probably not actually that bad. Surprise mothetfucker!

Whenever I hear a new term I have to figure out if it’s really that bad, or just made up nonsense.

I think I’ve seen this before and I know the solution. Time to use the “Bugs Bunny Maneuver”.

Impeach Trump.

Impeach Democrats.

Impeach Trump.

Impeach Democrats.

Impeach Democrats.

Impeach Trump.

Gottem.

It also doesn’t make sense. To make Trump angry all you need to do is tell the truth. Just state facts and he’ll be tweeting up shitstorm at 3am.

AI as auto complete is exactly what I was thinking.

I’ve seen lots of cases where AI appears as an auto complete suggestion and I can just hit <TAB> and it finishes the current line. It’s essentially filling in the boilerplate text. Heck in some cases it isn’t even right, but it’s close enough that I can change a few values.

I also want to point out that this isn’t particularly new technology. This existed before AI. It has perhaps expanded more, but it isn’t a revolutionary improvement, it’s an incremental one. So when we talk about usefulness, I think it is actually more useful.

Now if it could do all the magic planning and thinking, that would be more useful, but we’re not there yet.

I wonder if having a robots.txt file that said to ignore the file/path would help.

I’m assuming a bad bot would ignore the robots.txt file. So you could argue that you put up a clear sign and they chose to ignore it.

Ah, so this is what MC meant. I’ve enjoyed my time here.

I mean VP in recent history is there to balance the ticket. If the presidential candidate is weak in one area, they pick a VP strong in that area. Sometimes the VP is just to lock in a competitive state.

The winner picks the VP. If number 2 works well, great, but the winner picks.

You could beat this president at tic-tac-toe.

I think anarchy chess allows for such rulings.

Exactly, Chess is Mario Kart.

Anyone can learn how to play Chess. Anyone can learn how to play Mario Kart.

You slap a controller in someone’s hand tell them “A” is go and they can play Mario Kart. Sure they have to learn the track, where to collect power ups, where the shortcuts are, and eventually they have to learn about and master drifting.

But being a genius in Mario Kart doesn’t make you a genius. No heist movie ever said, “And this genius over here? They scored first place in 200cc Special Cup.”

OMG! I HAVE THE EXACT SAME NUMBER!

Wait what three digit number do you have on the back? No way those match too.

This reminds me of a short story/presentation by computer scientist Ken Thompson titled, “Reflections on Trusting Trust”.

It’s worth reading but basically we use software to create software. We trust that the software we use to create software can be trusted. We have the source code, but that’s just words on paper, it doesn’t do anything. We have to use software to turn that code into software.

To light a campfire take a burning stick and apply it to the pile of tinder and dry wood. Where do you get a burning stick? Place one in a campfire.

A EB-5 visa costs ~1 million dollars and has been available since the 1990s. So anyone who wanted one has had plenty of time to get one.

The new “gold card” intends to replace the existing program.

Increasing the cost from 1 to 5 million sounds like it would decrease the number of applicants, not increase them. I suspect part of this change will be loosening the requirements to justify the increased cost.

I’ll be honest I assume it’s some parliamentary specifics. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a filibuster to me. Allegedly it isn’t, but AFAIK, it is. It’s what I expect one to look like. It behaves like one. So it is.

Let’s start with Vodka. What a fucking waste. Vodka, at it’s best, is supposed to be flavourless. So you’re already off to a terrible start. If you’re asking for a Vodka Martini you’re asking for Strong Vermouth.

So let’s get that out of the way. You need the standard gin. Gin is delicious. There are many different Gins to choose from. Gin has actual flavor. I like Hendricks, but try and figure out which Gun you like best. Beefeater is great for a gin & tonic, might not work as well in a Martini. Try a few different options.

Now we’ve got Gin and vermouth. Those two work together beautifully.

Now I like a good olive. I say make that fucker dirty. Extra dirty. OLIVE ME THE FUCK UP! That’s what I want. You want it straight up? Fine. I think it’s packing but it’s the traditional way and I won’t complain. You want a cocktail onion? That’s called a Gibson and I ain’t complaining.

But GIN THAT FUCKER UP. Fuck off with your weak ass Vodka Martini. I don’t care if it’s Grey Goose or some other “fancy” shit. That ain’t no Martini.

Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart has this right. A gin martini, specifically Hendricks has it right. Dirty is ideal.

Technically it isn’t a filibuster,

Depending on how long he is able to go, he could disrupt Senate business on Tuesday, though his speech technically isn’t a filibuster — the chamber is currently in a limited period of debate time for Matthew Whitaker’s nomination as ambassador to NATO.

Per https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/03/31/congress/cory-booker-talk-a-thon-00262482

It just behaves as you would expect a filibuster to behave. The standard no-show threatening is still a thing you can do.

The problem is that Trump doesn’t need authority, he doesn’t actually do anything. He needs the protections of the title. He allows things to happen and signs documents put in front of him.

Now if no one is enforcing anything then being an “independent contractor” might enough, but as laws currently exist and the precedent currently being set, he needs the actual title of President.

I would agree the cats out of the bag, so there may not be anything that can be done. The keys aren’t going to those who can afford a server farm, the door is wide open for anyone with a computer.

The interesting follow up to this is what Disney does to a model trained on their films. Sure lawyers, but how much will they actually be able to do?

Basically, yes.

If I were an alien and you walked up to me and said, “Good Morning”, and I looked around and everyone else said “Good Morning”, I would respond with "Good Morning ". I don’t know what is “Good” or “Morning”, but I can pretend I do with the correct response.

In this example “Grok” has no context on what is going on in the background. Musk may have done nothing. Musk may have altered the data sets heavily. However the most popular response, based on what everyone else is saying, is that he did modify the data. So now it looks like he did, because that’s what everyone else said.

This is why these tools have issues with facts. If 1 + 1 = 3, and everyone says that 1 + 1 = 3, then it assumes 1 + 1 = 3.
