As the government shutdown gets closer to dropping SNAP benefits does this mean we are going to start The Hunger Games to battle to see which state gets benefits this month?

How come Israel doesn't just attack Iran with the "Jewish Space Lasers" MTG said cause global warming and other weather events.

I'm not a fan of Musk. But it might be short sighted to deport a guy that just hacked every American's data from every government system.

Ukraine is using its drone strike footage to train an AI that can kill targets without humans in the loop.

This solves the problem of radio jamming of drones to disconnect the operator from the drone.

We now have autonomous robots fighting wars.

Me: Wouldn't it be neat to have multiple horror movies all happening at the same time. You would be pursued by Freddie, Jason and IT at the same time.

- people lose jobs, live off savings and retirement
- stocks become cheap
- people enslaved by no income and soaring food costs
- billionaires buy cheap houses & cheap stocks

2. Turn off tariffs
- everyone is a slave
- stocks go back up
- Billionaires rejoice

Ah so some think Ukraine started the war with Russia. Why? Did it drink too much? Was it wearing the wrong clothes? Did it scream No?

If Trump really thought Zelensky is a dictator, you would think Trump would be more supportive of Z. Trump loves dictators.

How I feel about AI is that with all automation projects, you have to understand the situation you are writing the automation for.

You can't automate something you don't understand.

So with all these government shutdowns - unemploying lots of people, is a recession coming??

What Facebook doesn't get is that I don't want to be funneled into a bubble with my friends and family.

I want to grow and learn new things from people I don't know.

Post blackout Tiktok feels like it made a turn inward to that bubble instead of helping us to grow out of the bubble. Bye Tiktok

I'm just an engineer who likes to tinker with software, electronics, and hardware. Just trying to figure out what bluesky is all about.
