I don't think being expected to make a profit is going to work out for them. Almost nobody is paying for AI, but they keep dumping money into it like a bottomless pit. Now 20% of the US GDP is in AI, and we're totally cooked because the business model is:
AI + ? = PROFIT

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
Nobody wants this. AI upscale looks like vaseline is smeared on the screen.
I went as a kid and would like to go back. I'm thinking we might make a stop on our next Japan trip, but that's pribably some years away.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

I would say this is horrific thesaurus abuse, but it's probably just somebody who's lazy, using AI, and doesn't even know what a thesaurus is.
Do you guys do daylight savings time in October? Ours is in November, but I feel your pain. I was hoping I somehow missed recovering from jet lag from being in Japan for 2 weeks.
9. Some I don't want to go to, though.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.
I want to be wrong because I like the concept, but some of the graphics have that generative AI sheen to them. Is this development team legit, or are they using plagiarism machines?
So glad to find you boys on Bluesky! Happy Halloween! 🎃
Is there a way to select a color? My order was so long ago, I don't remember there being a choice.
Also, I saw the NES FPGA teaser. It would be so cool if you made stackable cartridge slots for the SuperStation to turn it into a tower of power with the CD drive.

It's a silly superstition I started doing as a kid, but I always make a wish when I catch that the time is 12:34 or 11:11.
The religious freedom argument is total bullshit. What about the religious freedom of faithful queer people who believe God wants us to marry the people who we love?

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom
This Karen's "religious freedom" argument is total bullshit. What about all the beliefs of all the religious queer people out there who believe they should be married to the person whom they love?

Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage.

This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

Killer Instinct 1 and 2 used bespoke hardware, that was allegedly based on speculative N64 specs circa 1994 - they greatly overestimated the N64's prowess, the arcade-board was waaaay more powerful.

Amusingly, this board is simply titled
"Midway Killer Instinct Hardware"
Not paying taxes is an illusion for most workers. With the exception of those who run their own businesses, some contract workers, and people who work for tips or get paid under the table, taxes are withheld from our paychecks automatically. They charge interest on extensions, so don't pay more.

Next week, the Fed is meeting to decide interest rates, but they'll have to do it without the most recent jobs data.

The data is ready to go, but the Trump Admin is just sitting on it.

What do they have to hide?

Release the data.
Donald Trump should release the jobs data.
