The United States is legitimately walking into March thinking the world will just take the checks The Fed cuts for Silver at 20% under market value.

They're thinking it's going to show they're still Big Dick On The Block.

Today will be unbearable in Culture War terms.

I just took a look at the X account tied to the RI shooter and it's virtually entirely Chud Aligned just short of being a Trump Simp.

Literally stuff about "We won't apologize for being white" & Pro Voter ID Law RTs.

Yet this will be a "woke" shooter

Very intriguing timing considering we're about to hit my March window of everything converging into a giant clusterfuck.

Incredibly interesting claim buried in here that deserves much more scrutiny...

They're claiming this model can ANALYZE (not generate) TWO HOURS worth of video.

The current benchmarks for Video Analysis from AI are roughly 25 minutes as the edge case testing.

2 Hours is INCONCEIVABLE.

Bullshit?

I would have been less rich if Harris had won and I would. Have been very ok with it, possibly proud of it, since the republic and rule have law would have preserved and we would have had our first woman, Indian American and an African American as president. Child of immigrants too! Very American!

"You don't understand.

I'm less rich today because I had to actually consider you minorities as human beings.

I have more skin in this than you do."
I’m an old white guy who is going to be way better off financially under Trump. So I voted to give away a lot of financial security and therefore the welfare of my children to try to make sure minorities wouldn’t end up thrown in to camps to die. So I voted to give up a lot. You didn’t
