We can't vote with anything but our wallets here, so this is a thing we can do to at least reduce their income. And considering they're losing close to $100 million every day already, I can't help but suspect nickel and diming them a bit still hurts.

The fact that we no longer respond with horror and outrage over the knowledge that we have children in prison camps is itself horrific.

I wonder how OpenAI's investors feel about that expense, considering they're losing somewhere around $80 million every single day.

At the beginning of the year, they projected a $14 billion loss for 2026. They'll almost certainly exceed that by quite a lot, and may have lost $12 billion in the previous fiscal quarter.

They aren't bleeding money. They're a veritable cash volcano, blasting it into near-Earth orbit.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they're working on it. He's destroying their bottom lines.

That said, if you go after the king, you'd best not miss.

Try it on a large screen. Once details are visible everything looks super strange.

Neither does Trump.

It's very much in the uncanny valley. Hard to point my finger at exactly what's wrong, but no one looks quite real. I keep expecting their too-rubbery skin to start doing weird shit.

Honestly, if I were in his shoes, I'd sue the pants off DHS, then head back to Ireland anyway, because fuck this shit-hole country.

The AI boom

They misspelled "bubble." None of the AI providers have a path towards profitability.

Neil Gaiman. I fucking loved Sandman and damn near everything else he wrote. Finding out he's a total scumbag has basically ruined a lot of very dear memories.

 

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.

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:
