I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

In applying AI to material science, biology, etc, capitalism is trying to shed science.
The point is to substitute the engineering of a machine that can generate what science has hitherto done, but without having people know things. Knowledge ultimately residing in private property is the dream.

All forms of age-gating are “a privacy nightmare that burdens the civil liberties of people both young and old,” EFF’s @aaronmackey.bsky.social told @AlJazeera.com, forcing all to share sensitive information that could be abused or hacked. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1...
Why is Australia banning social media for teenagers?
Critics say new law is 'normalising surveillance' for young people and risks cutting them off from support networks.

just incredible optics here, the president yelling at you about how you should buy less and like it, three weeks before christmas, while standing in front of a bunch of stupefied moronic dipshits holding BIGGER PAYCHECKS signs
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

You ever just have a realization slap you in the face?
Because if Nvidia AI GPUs are just being warehoused after being sold, isn't that just a huge part of the US economy being run on a scheme akin to Scientology members buying copies of Dianetics en masse to make L. Ron Hubbard a bestseller? FUUUU

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

Hard to believe it's been 38 years since I was diagnosed with Leukemia. So thankful that chemotherapy, which is a very real thing, was available and I went into remission relatively quickly. Don't listen to idiots who question science and doctors.
