Ask her to read the links from her ChatGPT queries with you. Do it together. Show her how ChatGPT is confidently and convincingly lying to her. And each time she comes back with another result from a biased prompt, do it again. Eventually she'll at least stop trying to convince you that ChatGPT knows all, out of embarrassment.

What I really want conservatives to contend with is the fact that cutting the size of the federal workforce this way has done LITERALLY NONE of the things they always insist shrinking the government will accomplish.

  • It has not reduced prices. In fact, those are way up.
  • It has not reduced taxes on the middle and lower classes. In fact, those are up too (while taxes on the ultra-wealthy continue to drop).
  • It has not made government services more efficient. In fact, those are now substantially shittier.
  • It has not made health care less expensive.
  • It has not made unemployment go down (obviously).
  • It has not made the private sector step in where government services falter.

Everything is more expensive and less efficient now. Small government does not equal good government.

Conservatives, this is what happens when you elect people who will actually follow through on the batshit insane garbage you've always wanted. You own this mess.

Hmmm. The NVMe standard has existed since 2011, and Samsung released their first commercially-available drive with it in 2013. So Microsoft has had at least 12 years to make nvmedisk.sys the standard driver for these disks.

Unless you know your history and recognize that every single time one of these fantasies takes over the economy, the failure to actually, y'know, be a profitable business ultimately dooms it.

I wonder what it's like being an investor in one of these companies. You're watching them shovel mountains of money into the AI furnace, with literally no profit to show for it, but the stock keeps going up. What's your "get out before the whole thing collapses" number? I mean, there must be some voice at the back of your mind going, "This is unsustainable."

Tech bros and their sycophants have started saying things like "the old rules don't apply anymore." That also happened in 2007-2008. That also happened just before the dotcom bubble burst. That happens before every pie-in-the-sky idea that takes over the economy but has no actual plan for profitability finally burns out.

So what's your get-out number, investor guys?

You use his work and derivatives of it every day.

Holy shit, I can literally just copy and paste the text?!?

Loads fine for me. Maybe their servers were taking a beating when you tried?

I've been somewhat avoiding the news (for my sanity), but I have heard that some of the PDFs turned out to be badly redacted and the original text is accessible programmatically. Do you happen to have a link to one? I'm a developer and have worked with PDFs extensively in the past. I'd love to delve into one and un-redacted it.

If I won that, my very first thought would be, "I have to get rid of most of this as soon as humanly possible."

I like that you called it poison because all options are bad, but I prefer the one I consider the least bad: Angular.

 

Hi there,

I'm the mod for !nottheonion, and I'd like to unban someone. Unfortunately, the user I want to unban doesn't have any content in the community anymore, and I can't find a way to do it.

Help?

 

Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

 

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

 

I can't find any content from this user from which to access the famous three-dots menu to unban them, and the post that resulted in their ban is already long gone, so I can't do it from there.

Could an administrator please unban the user?

 

The end of an era in Eugene. :'(

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

Just spotted that we made this list on Forbes last week. We're famous!

 

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

 

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.

 

Just a heads up, there's a severe thunderstorm alert right now:
