  1. Never fear, those will be dominated by greed and assholery soon enough.
  2. Someone is going to have to take a page from Trump’s book and grab the party by the pussy.
  3. Map of federal lands eligible for sale under the SENR bill. https://outdooralliance.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=f79f69111f844dd2be659da8ce0f4b6e Link to tell your senator to kill it. https://act.wilderness.org/a/senaterec-june25-web
  4. What’s going to be interesting is when my teenagers have kids, the first AI native generation that will never have known a world without AI.
  5. I owned one of those PRS Alex Lifeson acoustics for awhile. Great little guitar.
  6. If that comes to pass, I think people will just pick the AI that matches the world in which they think or want to exist. Just how they choose their other trusted information sources (fox or msnbc vs reuters, social media influencers, etc...)
  7. If Elon hadn't seemingly trashed his relationship with Trump, I'm not sure xAI would be a bad financial bet. An unregulated, uncensored AI with manipulated training data and market dominance would be a huge tool for authoritarianism and really help cement whatever narrative you wanted to prevail into the foreseeable future. The big beautiful bill already is providing the unregulated part. Elon is already happily providing the (somewhat) uncensored w/manipulated data part. If he can stay/return to Trump's good graces and have xAI be used throughout the federal government and otherwise be given competitive advantages against other options, he could achieve a market dominance. We are still in the VHS/Betamax phase with AI. A thumb on the market's table could certainly increase an AI platform's odds of being a winner.
  8. We’re going to drop infrastructure week on Fordow.
  9. Not really. There was a construction attempt, but my older brother (lets call him "Chet") kept calling it the "Polish Nuke" then told on me before I could launch and I got a parental beat down. Chet probably saved a few of my digits, tho.
  10. Price seems low…
  11. Reminds me of the time as an 11 year old when I tried to make a warhead out of the nose cone of an Estes model rocket with potassium nitrate and black powder.
  12. Yeah, that aspect of the story reminded me of Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos and the fucked up aspects of startup alpha founder culture. Otherwise intelligent people drunk on a dangerous cocktail of hubris, denial and delusion.

    Led Zeppelin

    I hope it’s the start of a Zep trilogy. First movie, then one covering their apex (3, 4, houses of the holy, physical graffiti), then one covering their last 3 albums, Bonham’s death and legacy.
  14. Oh, good, glad to see he's still shit posting. I was starting to think he was unwell.
  15. Oh, yay, casting calls for the alt-left. Anyone going to try out for the part of the liberal Mike Lindell?
  16. Is it me, or does it seem like this asshole is legitimately trying to retreat from the public eye? Nevar Forget...
  17. Still a better police response than Uvalde.
  18. Do you have a shareable link to this?
  19. Did they clearly announce that they were lawmakers before they were assassinated? It apparently makes all the difference.
  20. Yeah, may be a lot of places. I mean, if something bad happens in LA and there are videos all over social media, I could see escalations elsewhere.
  21. I honestly don't think anyone should be banned here, and I hope any are temporary. I think the vast majority of people would agree that: U.S. citizens should have the right to peaceably protest No one should be able to riot, loot, damage federal property, endanger law enforcement or otherwise engage in lawlessness under the guise of protest A U.S. president should not be able to usurp authority from a state or city, send in federal troops to police them, "liberate" them from their elected officials or otherwise engage in lawlessness under the guise of law and order
