TBF, cooling is cheap, GPUs are expensive.

Eventually they will pay AI companies to integrate advertisements into the llm's outputs.

Failing Reconstruction doomed us.

Its further an indication that I need to touch grass that when I read your name I think of Vaush's editor.

I have a like/dislike perspective on Hasan Piker.

Hes tankie-lite. Critical support for him in this case though, fuck ICE.

Its probably an indicator that I really need to touch grass that I'm primarily curious what Ethan Klein and Lonerbox think of this.

IDK man, they were prepped that's what Project 2025 was, a plan.

Its just that they're also extremely fucking stupid.

He looked legit surprised when he won

He was surprised the first time as well.

IDK that I love the implications of this post.

Billionaires existing is bad. Whether they were "losers" as children/teens is irrelevant to the badness.

I think that a super popular person growing up rich and eventually becoming a billionaire could easily be more actively narcissistic or psychopathic. Debatably just as bad.

That was the nail in the coffin of their party.

Thing is, I heard that multiple times during his first term.

I'm not saying you are wrong, maybe you are right. But I'm not so easily convinced after all the shit he consistently gets away with. There were people on their covid death beds who were still anti-mask/vax and pro-Trump.

If people are still stubbornly holding onto their beliefs as they directly face their own mortality more or less because of them, its hard to imagine a bribe being the red line.

If the market is sufficiently competitive, yes, I trust corporations more than governments.

Competition naturally degrades over time as companies go out of business and consolidate. And capital interests fight tooth and nail against large monopolies being split back up. Its more or less a miracle that it's ever happened at all and it would be naive to think it'll ever happen again.

I don’t think that’s true. I think you’re making an assumption that the payer has an incentive to reduce costs, but I really don’t think that’s the case. What they do have is a lot of power over pricing, and while that could be used to force producers to reduce costs, it can also be used to shift costs onto taxpayers in exchange for favors from the companies providing the services.

Do you think a more direct "medical patient union" would work? Skipping a government intermediary?

socialized healthcare

I mean, I'd prefer socialized healthcare over single payer. Single payer for me is merely an acceptable middle ground. As would having a proper public option next to private care (though admittedly that would slowly erode from lobbying).

Its not really that fey is a slur (IDK if it is and I'm bi) but that he said "That's the problem" afterward. Like, saying its unfortunate that hes the gay dude of the power rangers and that the gay guy got named after him is a problem. Its a very "your dad is kind of homophobic" level but its still shitty.

IDK, I'm pretty sure it'd use more resources to have someone just follow you around answering your questions to the best of their ability compared to using some electricity.

It sure does have some history. Even recent history!
