This is chicken soup for the soul.

Damn that made me laugh.

Big brain move right there. Run an electric car company that relies on consumers to care about climate change…and then deny climate change.

About once a year I do something like $25. It’s about the time of year I do my NPR donation and anything else I have been procrastinating.

This is exactly what they voted for so I’m sure they’ll start celebrating all of this winning any moment now.

I really think this is just about him wanting to stop pissing off Tesla customers and get people to go back to buying his cars. I don’t believe at all that this break is legit.

They don’t want you to know about the dish gnomes forced to work in tight spaces under terrible conditions.

I like to throw out a random y’all just to throw off scrapers like this. In my mind, they’ll either think I’m in the southern US or just get confused.

It’s probably something like, he couldn’t get one or all of his kids into Harvard. Maybe he wanted to go but couldn’t get in. I’m sure if they accepted Baron, this would all disappear.

That’s the claim from like every AI company and wow do I hope that’s what happens. Maybe I’m just a Luddite with AI. I really hope I’m wrong since it’s here to stay.

Yeah that’s a big part of it…shifting off the stuff that we don’t think is important (and probably isn’t). My view is that it’s escalated to where I’m using my phone calculator for stuff I did in my head in high school (I was a cashier in HS so it was easy)…which is also not a big deal but getting a little bigger than the phone number thing. From there, what if I used it to leverage a new programming API as opposed to using the docs site. Probably not a big deal but bigger than the calculator thing to me. My point is that it’s all these little things that don’t individually matter but together add up to some big changes in the way we think. We are outsourcing our thinking which would be helpful if we used the free capacity for higher level thinking but I’m not sure if we will.

This is the next step towards Idiocracy. I use AI for things like Summarizing zoom meetings so I don’t need to take notes and I can’t imagine I’ll stop there in the future. It’s like how I forgot everyone’s telephone numbers once we got cell phones…we used to have to know numbers back then. AI is a big leap in that direction. I’m thinking the long term effects are all of us just getting dumber and shifting more and more “little unimportant “ things to AI until we end up in an Idiocracy scene. Sadly I will be there with everyone else.

Napster was…but it wasn’t owned by rich people and didn’t benefit rich people so it was targeted.

“Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump”. We are all screwed. This person is directly negatively impacted by the person he voted for and complaining but vote for additional negative consequences moving forward…which they will also complain about.

Pretty sure a stated objective of the administration is the closing of FEMA with disaster response responsibility moved to the state. Josh should know this. He should be refusing any offered assistance to set an appropriate example.

If they aren’t providing support to red states they are going to completely refuse blue states. Hope forest fire season isn’t intense on the west coast cuz I think we’re on our own.

Pretty sure Elon and Kanye are on the same path. So Elon will take some time off and then suddenly have another manic episode and repeat everything 2x worse than the last time.

You see…we cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans and then…a tariff happens…and then Mexico pays for it?

Ukraine would be happy to take their place. If Hungary doesn’t have an interest in promoting EU values then they should make room for a country that will.

At this point I actually wonder if they remember where they hid it. I wouldn’t.
