What I want from AI is akin to David Copperfield making the Statue of Liberty disappear as a paying and delighted audience member.
What AI does now is a trick on par with your uncle (that never washes his hands) pulling a coin out of your ear (that he keeps) and you're his captive audience.

I would try to be sad about this if I wasn't too busy playing indie games and small studio releases that don't require NVIDIA's bloated hardware. I love AI conceptually, but the current model and options leave a lot to be desired.

The Argon40 ONE UP is a modular laptop powered by a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, and according to this review, it's pretty good at what it does. But due to rising component prices you can get a much faster laptop with an Intel or AMD chip for less money. www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/th...

This week, during a hearing on the proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Bros., Josh Hawley used his time to attack Netflix for "trans ideology."

I can't even imagine. Watching the birth of Fascism in the US by standing face to face with people in the first concentration camps would be distressing. That it is happening at all ... as a US Citizen, I feel like I failed in what are my core principles.

Some Public Health Service officers quit rather than serve in ICE detention centers
A special corps of health care workers have been called in to work with detained immigrants and many feel deeply conflicted about the assignment, saying they're not able to provide good care.

There's lots of ways to die, or meet death. Good and bad.
Standing against the lies of a corrupt government, to protect your neighbors, and the Truth, is a good death.
Risking your life by merely being an observer is the first of many battles we will fight against the Fascist Ruling Party.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Trump isn't going to "accept accountability and abide by the same rules" at all. Allowing him to have a powerful private army to enforce his authoritarian domestic agenda is total dereliction of duty by Democrats. Chuck and his friends have abandoned the American people. We are on our own now.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.
