AI promoted by the Trump Admin?

Stupid in = tragically stupid out.

Trump lifts US supersonic flight ban, says he's 'Making Aviation Great Again'

Circling the drain

I'm still dreading the day this addled, orange P.O.S. issues the executive order that allows every US citizen to open carry, & gives guns to teachers and children "for protection". Anything is on the table for this cockwomble.

Musk and Trump take slap fight public as bromance ends

When will the USA grow up?

I understand puberty can be a difficult transition, especially for an entire nation, but constantly jerking off in public is NOT acceptable behaviour.

Elon Musk pukes over pork-filled budget bill with Tesla subsidies on the line

Two raging narcissists walk into a bar

They start a fight and burn it to the ground with all the punters inside. They walk away, blaming each other loudly. They look for another pub.

Trump tariff turmoil hurting global smartphone market, but hitting US hardest

America is like the Titanic

Too big to turn, too slow to react, in denial about sinking, and there aren't enough lifeboats for everyone.

What I noticed...

is the Ukraine defence dept didn't plan their attacks on Signal.

Tesla FSD ignores school bus lights and hits 'child' dummy in staged demo

God forbid...

that people have to take responsibility & think for themselves behind the wheel. What a preposterous notion!

Trump tariffs ruled illegal within minutes of Musk announcing end of government role

NASCAR Justice

Now that the Court of Appeals has blocked the Court of Int. Trade order, I'm thinking all future hearings & trials for the American court system should be held at the Daytona International Speedway - I mean, they're both designed for going in big circles, yes?

Re: The Real Story

“We should take Elon’s word for what he has achieved..."

I can't stop laughing.

Lenovo thought it could surf geopolitics, until Trump's sudden tariff changes

Re: Trump is highly predictable

He is awfully consistent in his consistent awfulness.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin suggests threatening AI for better results

AI monkey see - AI monkey do?

'Threatening' artificial intelligence just doesn't seem to be - well, all that intelligent to me. Reaching for one of the the lower human denominators isn't really a good solution.

Trump can bluster and bluff all he wants, but iPhone manufacturing isn't coming to the US

But surely, Apples are a grocery.

I mean, if we're talking 'stable genie arse' logic here.

Some signs of AI model collapse begin to reveal themselves

"Oh, no - not again..."

When people become enamoured with a crude impersonation of their own biological capability, you know it will only end badly. Artificial intelligence has got nothing on natural stupidity, it seems.

Trump threatens to add formal Apple Tax on top of the 'Apple tax'

“I am recommending a straight 50% Tariff on the European Union, starting on June 1, 2025.”

Translation - I am gaming the stock market again - inside traders sharpen your pencils.

Trump signs TAKE IT DOWN law meant to stop revenge porn

The never ending exercise in futility

America continues to highlight the foibles & failures of a complete twat instead of investing in grounded solutions & actions - must be exhausting, wasting all that energy.

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

Re: Given that Trump's DOJ is cracking down hard on whistleblowing

Bureaucratic cowardice never ends well.

Scammers are deepfaking voices of senior US government officials, warns FBI

Stupid voice - random words - no orange visual required...

Too easy.

Boffins warn that AI paper mills are swamping science with garbage studies

Is there an 'en masse' Darwin award?

Artificial Intelligence will never be a match for natural stupidity, apparently.

Judge puts two-week pause on Trump's mass government layoffs

The US judicial system vs Trump

"You have been warned, Donald - ok, second warning - ok final warning - I mean it - ok, I really mean it - I'm not kidding, Donald - ok, I really REALLY mean it this time - are you listening to me? Donald STOP IT! Please stop??"

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

Kleptocracy, automated

The technology, in & of itself, isn't the problem - it is (as it has always been) the implementation of it by the unreasonably greedy & myopic. AI has become just a new way to steal the work of others for fun & profit.

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

Your all over thinking it.

The orange moron simply exists to serve his own vainglorious, idiotic ego.

Trump creates massive problem, blames everyone else,

Trump caves and furiously backpedals

Trump claims massive win from his own f**k up.

Feeling dumb? Let Google's latest AI invention simplify that wordy writing for you

“We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within”.

Nikita Khrushchev, 1956.

Trump's wind farm funding freeze is so much hot air, say states as they blow sueball to Washington

Missed opportunity

It's a shame nobody can figure out how to harness the hot air constantly issuing from Trumps bloviating pie-hole - truly an inexhaustible supply.

EU tells US scientists to dump Trump for a lab in Europe

Re: Over than 3 orders of magnitude

Personally, I'd love to see a breakdown of that figure - particularly curious as to the ratio between the expenditure on actual R&D vs 'disbursements'

New Zealand kind-of moves to ban social media for under-16s, require age checks for new accounts

Another idiot decision

The National party have made a series of inept, inflammatory decisions since taking the reins and managed to piss off a majority us here with their 'cost cutting' of public services & abuse of the urgency provision for passing unpopular legislation. Like most things, this is beyond their comprehension and, if implemented, will likely seal their demise in the next election.

Trump's trade war with China to cost AMD $1.5B in lost rev

Dems look to close the barn door after top DOGE dog has bolted

Re: The United States invariably does the right thing,

I'm afraid in this instance, that pithy quote equates to another - "Too little, too late."

Re: Buddism?

"Ermm...didn't Pol Pot start out as a Buddhist monk? His theology didn't go so well in the end."

Theology is one thing - those who usurp it for their own twisted means is entirely another.

Not only has the DOGE dog bolted..

but the kennel is on fire & everyone is either too afraid to use the hose, or they just talk about using it.

Red, white, and blew it? Trump tariffs may cost America the AI race

Reminder...

Everything the orange oaf touches turns to shit.

You don't have to be smart to be a boss.

Question

Starbucks is coffee???

Trump admin freaks out over mere suggestion Amazon was going to show tariff impact on prices

Re: America

"...the rest of the free world) cringes and just hopes the next 1,361 days pass swiftly,..."

This attitude is precisely why the rest of America is in trouble - you don't have the luxury of time or inaction.

America

Worst reality tv show ever.

China is using AI to sharpen every link in its attack chain, FBI warns

Oh Noes

Hegseth will have to switch to Facebook messenger.

TAKE IT DOWN Act? Yes, take the act down before it's too late for online speech

Re: ...because nobody gets treated worse than I do online. Nobody.

Pretty sure Trump was trying to say 'Reign the swamp' - I blame dementia for the word substitution.

Americans & their torturous acronyms

They really need to trim it back - how about the 'Trump Won't Allow Talk' act? Short, pithy & to the point.

China now America's number one cyber threat – US must get up to speed

"...and corporates to be held accountable"

And in other news, Bigfoot found Jimmy Hoffa living with aliens after Area 51 opened its doors to the public.

Virgin Atlantic is piloting an OpenAI agent in to help with the 'customer journey'

Obsessive behaviour

While the technology may have its uses, the fevered, 'gold rush' mentality around it seems more avaricious than anything else, and reminds me of the dotcom bubble around the late 1990's.

Windows isn't an OS, it's a bad habit that wants to become an addiction

Re: Tech support?

After so thoroughly trashing any good will he may have had left with his fascist, Trumpian wrecking spree. any business within Musks orbit now will be regarded as suspect, toxic, hyped up shite.
