Do you live in Florida?

I hope you don’t mean all the kids separated from their parents.

The premise is that “we” didn’t vote for this. Not voting is a choice- in essence a vote. Perhaps not on paper, but a vote nonetheless.

“We” did vote for this, unfortunately.

Trump will take credit.

Yes, I hear that’s how one fights fire. (With fire)

Since this is about AI, I asked an AI. Bottom line is… I have no idea and the AI doesn’t either:

How did the CEO of Nvidia insult gamers, artists, and Linux users?

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has made several statements that have been perceived as dismissive or controversial by gamers, artists, and Linux users:

Gamers:

In January 2019, Huang criticized AMD’s Radeon VII graphics card, calling it “underwhelming” and “lousy.” He stated, “The performance is lousy and there’s nothing new… [There’s] no ray tracing, no AI.” Such remarks were seen by some gamers as dismissive of competing products and their user base.

[okay?]

Artists:

In January 2024, NVIDIA showcased its ACE microservice, an AI suite capable of generating fully voiced AI characters. This demonstration raised concerns among artists about the potential for AI to replace human creativity and jobs in the industry. While Huang did not directly insult artists, the promotion of such technology led to apprehension regarding the future role of human artists.

[I guess he made a demo of technology?]

Linux Users:

In June 2012, Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, publicly criticized NVIDIA for its lack of support for Linux, calling the company “the single worst company we’ve ever dealt with.” He expressed frustration over NVIDIA’s unwillingness to support Linux systems, which was a significant concern for Linux users relying on NVIDIA hardware.

[It seems we are factoring in a lifetime of resentment. (But I agree)]

I think Trump will simply stop sending any new munitions.

I believe NYT makes you login, even on a gift link. Here is a TLDR:

President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike Russian and North Korean forces in Russia, a significant shift in U.S. policy. This decision comes in response to Russia’s introduction of North Korean troops into the conflict and their anticipated assault on Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region.

The move reflects growing concerns over Ukraine’s ability to withstand simultaneous assaults while defending territory. The authorization aims to bolster Ukraine’s defense, target high-value military assets, and deter North Korean involvement. However, it has sparked debate among U.S. officials over escalation risks, as Russia might retaliate against the U.S. or its allies.

President-elect Donald Trump, who has vowed to reduce U.S. support for Ukraine, is set to take office in two months, adding urgency to the decision. The Ukrainian strategy may include using captured Russian territory in Kursk as leverage in potential future negotiations. Meanwhile, the risk of Russian countermeasures remains a central concern for Biden’s administration and its allies.

My take: I’ve been waiting on this since the US election. It’s sound strategy of we believe Putin won’t want to escalate with NATO before Trump takes office.

How come we don’t call cruise missiles, “suicide rockets”?

So DOGE is getting cut then?

Well, don’t set any data centers on fire.

That’s too many positions to research for just one race. Five to six would probably be about the right amount of candidates for a single seat RCV.

I think [open] primaries still have a place to help weed out the field and narrow in on specific candidates.

You added a zero (to yesterday’s tally).

And is casualties, not deaths. Casualties includes wounded.

It’s too complicated to say “a surplus”.

They are probably going to come in talking about how great they are for the planet. Spreading the gospel and all that; the Stone Age doesn’t produce as many greenhouse gases as the industrial age, after all.

I’m guessing it was prioritized by the amount of evidence, and the chances of getting a conviction.

I mean, I wouldn’t want to get attacked by a conspiracy theorist (that sounds wrong) either.
