Whodunit? 'Unauthorized' change to Grok made it blather on about 'White genocide'

Thank you for the non-hysterical take on South Africa.

Too many stupid people want blood and war drums until it's their family waking up to five masked men cutting their throats then it's always: "oh fuck I was joking!"

Dems are upset about DOGE's IRS hackathon, but the IRS says it never happened

Dispatches from the Age of Extinguishment pt ∞

Honestly, who gets a hair up their ass and decides to spend time to defend the IRS (a deeply unpopular institution), while Trump cronies are threatening to strip birthright citizenship from Americans and are pump-and-dumping the entire U.S. economy? Unless you're trying to fill out your timecard without doing anything.

Coinbase extorted for $20M. Support staff bribed. Customers scammed. One hell of a SNAFU

Interesting

So personal data is exfiltrated and they offer zero compensation or a "sorry here's a year of identity monitoring (hacked too)" as de rigeur for a breach.

Instead, they drop a $20M bounty and the CEO does his best "Blood, toil, tears and sweat".

If a crypto evangelist (Armstrong has been vocal about the downfall of the US and why you should buy on his exchange) turns out to act ethically without being pushed by investors/regulators, I'll check myself into a psych ward.

Attackers pwn charter airline helping Trump's deportation campaign

And the US has neither so I guess we can try open borders or the welfare state now?

US, China agree to roll back tariffs – but only for 90 days

Re: Mouthy American blinks and backs down...

Don't worry, they were spinning up the doublespeak saying it's patriotic to pay more and do without, and the idiots were failling all over it saying "stick it to China!"

Meanwhile they won't save their pennies to get their kids to learn Chinese to actually help the process of shifting manufacturing here (dirty woke colleges!) or get vaccinated against a 'CHINESE BIOWEAPON.'

Icon, because this is an era where the rational and half-witted need a few to tolerate the quarter-wits running everything.

Paul McCartney, Elton John, other creatives demand AI comes clean on scraping

I'm reminded of a bit of dialogue from a certain scientist

"....No glands, replaced by tech; no digestive system, replaced by tech; no soul... replaced by tech. Whatever they were... gone forever. No art, no culture - closer to husks than slaves. Tools. This species is dead; this is just the final insult."

Pressing this character on the "art/culture" remark will prompt more insight.

"My personal interest in art is negligible. But this isn't about me; Cultural, artistic expression reflects philosophical evolution, interest in growth, perspective, observation, interpretation. I suspect that you won't find anything like art in their base."

UK Ministry of Defence is spending less with US biz, and more with Europeans

Re: Sam

So what's the excuse for the US if they manage to balance both? Beyond being lousy people?

Re: AI CEO

The world wonders why you didn't take the example of McDonald's to join a real team that actually does something. Instead, you elected to take a government paycheck.

Open source AI hiring bots favor men, leave women hanging by the phone

You're hounded into submission because your ideas are fucking braindead and also a fake rightist.

The USA has a right-winger government and it's too busy burning down the forests the moderate right wingers planted two generations ago to enrich their buddies; North Korea has a hereditary monarch, the goal of all conservative activists; Afghanistan was a great victory for actual right-wingers, showing a decadent western-secular society can be easily overwhelmed by religious extremists with rusy AKs.

These are all right wing successes, if you actually bother to understand the people you cheer for.

I will admit you lot have managed to defeat the core thesis of liberalism: that people can choose better if given the chance. Some are just born serfs looking for a master, unable to cope with freedom of choice and the dignity of that.

Microsoft gets twitchy over talk of Europe's tech independence

"The US" didn't develop shit. That is SpaceX property that the US taxpayer merely paid for.

We used to have a belief if we paid for it, it was ours though.

Too bad we're so debased we would rather pay for someone's dalliances with profitability and then put him in charge of the government to counter waste and fraud lol.

"fight in court?"

I realize Euros play by rules but they need to realize we're the same as the Russians.

FISA warrants and courts mean Microsoft doesn't answer to a "real" court of law, and that ignores the new dance move called "DOGE Double": US government gets an injunction against its actions and the cops/executive force help them exfiltrate data anyway.

Re: US export restrictions

They're getting even stupider now. State legislatures, even in nominally reasonable blue states, are banning small Japanese work trucks by signing bills drafted by ATV/quad bike companies sight unseen to make the hobbyist cars illegal to register on spurious "safety" grounds.

I don't understand the concern

It would take the United States a LOT to lose our utter dominance in bloviating pseudo-intelligence. Hell one of our finest examples went over to bully the UK over "Don't harass people because they're gay" laws.

EU gives staff 'burner phones, laptops' for US visits

Re: Honestly, just don't go

I beg to differ - we're much worse. The Norks went from a credible regional power to a hermit kingdom due to factors outside of their control with their patron states.

We've decided to use our GLOBAL HEGEMONY and independence to collectively jump off a roof because it angers well-meaning but short-sighted people domestically... and are now insisting that shitting our pants on purpose further indicates how respected we are.

Successful home invaders then.

Global datacenter electricity use to double by 2030, say policy wonks. Yup, it's AI

Re: OK, so..

I've seen you around and strongly disagree with you on almost anything else, but the fucking front of people scolding people to buy EVs/reduce their carbon emissions while letting profligate waste like this go on is absurd.

"We need to drive up electricity consumption so we can have a program that spits out bad copies of other writing" is so beyond stupid I feel like everyone is lobotomized.

Trump tariffs thwart TikTok takeover as China digs in heels

" I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"

>Or is it just me?

No, it's a honeypot. They do this with a bunch of laws that never get enforced unless you fall out of favor with them. It shouldn't work for big corps that will throw away millions stamping their feet at the EU's modest ask of "hey don't collect a stasi dossier on everyone that comes in contact with you if they say 'no.' "

Trump doubles down, vows to make Chinese imports even more expensive for Americans

Re: Woke up this morning ...

That would require the supposedly sane "blue team"/dems stop allowing their lives to be dictated by people who think pi = 3.

What I am afraid of is what's coming next when this Great (Value) Leap Forward fails. The armed civilian populace+police/military is 8:2 "red team"/MAGA, conservatively.

If it goes to shit and they will never admit Trump was at fault but they can blame the unarmed city dwellers who thumbed their nose at the Anointed Orange.

The K-Mart Rouge state doing its part for child exploitation: https://wsvn.com/news/local/florida/florida-debates-lifting-some-child-labor-laws-to-fill-jobs-vacated-by-undocumented-immigrants/

"The state’s legislature on Tuesday advanced a bill that would loosen child labor laws, allowing children as young as 14 years old to work overnight shifts. If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days. They are currently prevented from working earlier than 6:30 am or later than 11 pm per state law."

"The number of child labor violations in Florida has nearly tripled in recent years, according to US Department of Labor statistics."
