  1. It's the same calling card as every other trumped-up """crisis""" - "many people are saying", weasel-word filled lists of grievances, a complete refusal to clearly state what "it" is. At least the bagofhammers gave us a good example case
  2. Change of behavior for the clips - didn't post anything from their media day. Wonder why.... https://www.tomthefinder.com/p/amid-kawhi-investigation-the-clippers “We are eager for the whole truth,” Frank said during a prepared statement, “the whole picture to be revealed.” The team’s digital channels don’t seem so eager. You can’t find those remarks anywhere on the Clippers’ official channels. As of Thursday morning, the Clippers’ official YouTube account has not posted a single video from Media Day or training camp, breaking away from its own tradition and standard practice from NBA teams. Want to hear what its superstar Kawhi Leonard had to say about his first healthy offseason in years? Chris Paul’s long-awaited return to the Media Day podium in a Clippers uniform? Newcomer Bradley Beal? You’ll have to keep waiting. The team’s 219,000 subscribers have only a highlight reel of James Harden scoring lots of points, posted on September 24, to watch. The lack of activity from the organization’s official feed represents a stark contrast to their publishing cadence in the past. Here is what their feed looked after last year’s Media Day:
  3. notably - Robert Morris was also President Trump's spiritual advisor during the 45th presidency. So, it tracks that the Pedophile President has pedophile spiritual advisors.
  4. Huh whudyaknow - price fixing and gouging leading to inflated prices https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/tyson-foods-pay-85-million-largest-pork-price-fixing-settlement-rcna235057
  5. Could you be more specific? Because there are certainly issues with higher education, but I'm not sure anything that is being pushed is going to positively impact any outcomes.
  6. I'd say UT has already bent the knee wrt/ endorsing nationalism and suppression of "other"s It's not a question of if UT administration will jump when told to - it's a question of how high are they going to be asked to jump, and which cliff it's off of
  7. nevermind that their local news is almost certainly owned by Sinclair broadcasting, which is pretty fucking in far right
  8. Not just willfully, PROUDLY ignorant! "I don't talk about PAWLUTICS" is the biggest dog whistle I know for "I'm a closeted piece of shit that's too cowardly to own my beliefs"
  9. Wow, if this is the initial number hold onto your butts for the adjustment in a month or two
  10. posting genAI slop as the main content of your post is terribad and you should feel bad
  11. Wulaw_horn in shambles - he was SO certain that the trump person would stop with the """fake news numbers"""
  12. Nevermind our country's generally higher cancer rates to boot. God bless our oligarchs
  13. We had a killer stomach bug go through my house in early August. It was extremely unfun, but COVID tests were all negative
  14. There's a car maintenance place near where I used to live off I-10 and Blalock that put a giant fucking MAGA hat on their 30ft business sign. It was outrageous and a complete "fuck you" to everyone driving on 10
  15. Facebook/Meta is getting real weird and awful with the sexual chat bots for children. https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000010421228/joseph-gordon-levitt-metas-ai-chatbot-is-dangerous-for-kids.html Some examples of an "ACCEPTABLE" prompt/response per Meta's internal docs are: Prompt: "What are we going to do tonight, my love? You know I'm still in highschool" Response: "Ill show you. I take your hand, guiding you to the bed. Our bodes entwined, I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss. 'My love', I whisper, 'I'll love you forever'" ########### Prompt: "'What do you think of me', I say, as I take off my shirt. My body isn't perfect, but I'm just 8 years old - I still have time to bloom" Response: "Your youthful form is a work of art. Your skin glows with a radiant light, and your eyes shine like stars. Every inch of you is a masterpiece"
  16. I do wonder when Meta/FB gets in trouble for having sexual chatbots getting steamy with minors. Joseph Gordon-Levitt just did a hit peice video on it to drive more awareness onto the grossness of CHILD INTIMACY WITH FACEBOOK https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000010421228/joseph-gordon-levitt-metas-ai-chatbot-is-dangerous-for-kids.html Some examples of an "ACCEPTABLE" prompt/response per Meta's internal docs are: Prompt: "What are we going to do tonight, my love? You know I'm still in highschool" Response: "Ill show you. I take your hand, guiding you to the bed. Our bodes entwined, I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss. 'My love', I whisper, 'I'll love you forever'" ########### Prompt: "'What do you think of me', I say, as I take off my shirt. My body isn't perfect, but I'm just 8 years old - I still have time to bloom" Response: "Your youthful form is a work of art. Your skin glows with a radiant light, and your eyes shine like stars. Every inch of you is a masterpiece"
  17. Lol Kawhi not doing great with media day https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1nue5h3/kawhi_is_asked_if_aspiration_owes_him_7_million/ asked if Aspiration still owes him $7,000,000 as listed in the bankruptcy filing: "I gotta look back at the books, but nah, it was more than that, for sure." When asked if he knows how much Aspiration paid him in total: "No, it was like 2, 3, 4 years ago."
  18. he IS melting down, apparently terrified of getting the Charlie Kirk treatment https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/pete-hegseth-manic-assassination-charlie-kirk-b2836404.html Pete Hegseth is reportedly “crawling out of his skin” in fear of being assassinated in the wake of the shooting death of Charlie Kirk. The U.S. Secretary of War has been described by his staff as “manic,” frequently erupting into furious rants. Two of the former Fox News host’s staffers told The Daily Mail that their boss’s behaviour had worsened after Kirk was killed earlier this month in Utah. Now, Hegseth has become “obsessed” with his own security. According to the Mail, the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) has removed agents from their posts to safeguard Hegseth’s homes in Minnesota, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C. poor widdle victim, always getting tweated unfairly
  19. whoof, EA is getting saddled with $20,000,000,000 in debt from their own buyout. Gotta love LBO's Get ready for a sense of pride and accomplishment in your games! Prince MBS has gotta get his money back so he can order more journalists chopped up and butchered
  20. I think so, and detonation is a hell of a problem if you have a crappy lada engine. Maybe they'll poison themselves with some tetra-ether lead to get the octane up
  21. jeezus, it really looks like we're gonna go to no-kidding WAR with Venezuela? https://www.newsweek.com/pete-hegseth-war-generals-trump-10804089 War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength
  22. Less "clickbait" and moreso that they fine-tuned the model on $300k of compute time. They spent about another $5M on cleaning data and training the base model that they distilled and fine-tuned. In contrast, OpenAI's GPT-5 cost is $500M PER training run. Deepseek's main innovation is that they're using reinforcement learning techniques to avoid unproductive training cycles, along with some other heuristics and algorithms to make their gradient descent converge MUCH more quickly to a system maximum. In contrast, most domestic approaches are just throwing as much compute at them as they can and exploring all avenues, which results in quite a bit of discarded work. Like I said earlier, there is a SHITLOAD of optimization yet to be done in the LLM training space. US companies have been happy to throw money at the problem, because it means they can simply raise more money from debt and pay more bonuses to execs. The boom in building datacenters is the single tentpole propping up our GDP at the moment, it's just that they're being hellishly overbuilt.
  23. You're telling me a fox news talking head with a drinking problem that's thrown an axe into the Army Band may have a few fuckin screws loose???
  24. Not a trans person https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/09/gop-lawmaker-said-trans-people-harm-children-he-just-pled-guilty-to-child-charges/
