If you’re upper-income, earning over $100,000, things are good … What we see with middle- and lower-income consumers, it’s actually a different story.

When had this ever not been true? What a windbag.

fact... potentially...

Yes, we're going to ignore a sensationalist conclusion that is not supported by evidence.

I feel like we should've seen this coming; if/when he kicks the bucket, they're gonna use AI to keep the cult of personality going for as long as they can.

Yeah, the fact such a nonspecific patent was granted in the first place shows pretty clearly there's something wrong with the system!

You know analogy and argument are not the same thing, right? Like, not at all. I'm not the guy you replied to, but I definitely did not get the impression he meant anything even close to "meaningful argument".

And you know what? I think he's right; that is a very apt analogy when taking about sophisticated bullshit generators. Cause that's the version they keep trying to sell to the public. This isn't about data analysis or any other if the creative scientific applications of this technology.

Lawsuit incoming. Or expect MAGA to overturn the ADA.

That's literally on their to-do list, aka Project 2025.

Not just suitors, I'm afraid. The vast majority of the women you will meet in your life have been the victim of some form of sexual harassment, if not outright assault or rape.

So, yeah, it's disheartening but I totally agree with your perspective on this.

Half my immediate family has cancer from undisclosed testing causing nuclear fallout over swaths of the southwest US..

US is run by assholes.

Legally, no. Which of course is the most common way to interpret that word.

Did he defraud the dealership? Absolutely! And frankly, good for him. The market for buying new cars in our country is one of the more exploitative systems that our society has managed to create, and that's saying something.

This country has never been the place we were taught to believe it was. I think we started to come close to reshaping it into that image, though; this offended the parasitic ultra wealthy sociopaths, so they put Trump in power to remind us of "our proper place".

I find it doubtful they'll successfully enforce this in court. But you never know.

The fact that this patent was issued is further proof our "intellectual property" laws and such are fucking broken to all hell, in any case.

The Metropolitan Airports Commission said it worked in advance with event organizers and provided a permit that determined a maximum number of protesters who could attend. The number of people in attendance "went beyond the agreed-upon terms," MAC said, and police made several arrests

So, it's illegal to protest for something that's too popular??

Okay, schumer can get fucked, but the Senate does not initiate impeachment, making this headline pretty fucking stupid.

Dude, took me ten seconds to confirm that's Iran's flag.

Fucking hell...

But the source code isn't available. The source isn't open. It's not open-source, by definition.

The "spectrum" you refer to us about how free you are to publicly make use of the code, not whether or not you even have the code.

This situation does not fall inside that spectrum.

T9word for the win

Actually, that's not the issue. Like, for real, I'm not trying to mock you it anything like that; I submit disagree with the premise.

The problem is fear, not lack of intelligence. They're cowards. Fear can, and will, make fools of the smartest people. But really, what's the common theme in literally all Republican messaging? Fear.

I wish somebody could stand up to him. But war is hell on earth, literally, so I can't really blame countries not getting involved. And given the depressingly small number of military officers resigning/refusing the illegal orders given so far, it's a pretty bleak picture all around...

Take it up with the fuckwits that are blocking support.
