The war for oil schtick makes no sense at all. VZ’s heavy crude oil production is insignificant globally. Certainly not enough to have any effect on propping up the $USD. There are other things going on; or alternatively there’s nothing strategic here and trump&co are all furkin bonkers #Venezuela

The snatch and grab operation makes no sense. Delta commandos got in without a firefight? Without opposition? And just jogged away with Maduro? Yeah right. There is much more to this story #Venezuela

It’s difficult not to draw similarities between the fight against industrial tech at the time of the Luddites and the fight against AI. How long did it take living and working conditions to recover post Industrial Revn for the non wealthy urban popn in 🇬🇧?Now multiply it x1000. Be afraid be engaged.

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

All right people so literally I downloaded one of the government documents to Books on my iPad. I highlighted some text that was not redacted and it included some that was redacted and I copied it over to notes and I pasted it and you can see everything unredacted.

What's so frustrating in this moment of explicit government censorship is how many times groups like the ACLU and others told us they _had_ to defend neo nazis because of the principle of free speech. Now that fascists are in power, none of those principles are protecting marginalized groups.
