Constitutionally he doesn’t have that power. But congress has no intention of doing its job of holding the administration responsible

Look at who sponsors and supported this crap. It was meta, google, Snapchat. People who make a ton of money selling targeted ads hoovering up and selling private data.

Seems legit /s

Thank you for at least finding an article. I sadly have to agree that this is an op-ed piece and that it does differ a bit from the picture.

Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go and cancel your subscription. I personally just don’t feel that we need to resort to exaggerated or false claims. Actual, verifiable facts are pretty damning on their own, the donations and super pacs alone are enough reasons to justify boycotting them. That doesn’t even include their defense contracts or ICE contracts. Heck, the environmental impact and the impact on consumer goods’ prices are enough on their own.

But we don’t need to make stuff up or spin it in a way to exaggerate a message to support an agenda. We get enough of that shit from AI slop articles making news up as it is.

Can we get some citations besides an image someone posted? I did a cursory look and couldn’t substantiate any of this. The only real news is Nvidia saying their last round of investments in openAI and Anthropic would probably be their last.

Genuine question. I know it’s fun to hate on AI slop and openAI in general, but there are enough real facts, don’t feel like we need any made up ones to win folks over

Love those guys

Tired, worried, so very very angry and so very very powerless and impotent. I can keep writing to my reps and getting form responses, but nothing I can do seems to matter.

The fucktards want us to become violent so they can escalate and seize power. Protests don’t seem to be doing anything besides give them more opportunities to murder more innocent people and I don’t have the power to affect the economy in any meaningful way.

It’s like watching a loved one destroy their life through drugs, you want and try so hard to get them help, but can’t force them to do anything. We’re at the part where they have ODed at least once and you hope it’s enough to get them to change their behavior but instead deep down you know they’ll be dead within a few years.

Normally I’d say go Bazzite if you want easy NVidia support.

Since you’ve got some “other things” then an immutable distro might not be the way you want to go. In which case I’d check out Nobara or CachyOS. I really like CachyOS

+1 for backbone working nice

With the US 2 party system and first past the post voting system practically nothing would ever change then. Which does mean one crazy wannabe dictator can’t do as much damage. But also means getting progressive policies pushed through would also be impossible.

But I do like that idea in theory, once we solve our 2 party problem then something like that would make a lot of sense. I don’t know how we will ever solve that, figured for sure after January 6th and COVID that a real 3rd party would gain traction? And yet here we are.

Ironically I don’t disagree with him but for completely different reasons. It’s pretty obvious he wants to use this as an excuse to do whatever he’s paid to do by the biggest bribe.

But Jefferson pushed for vast changes and “revolution” (not the violent type which honestly feels pretty naive) every generation. Because why should the rules and ideals and commitment of the dead hold back the present and future.

Was always why I loved the books so much, every single step highlights poor management and going cheap for profit sake after having invested so much money in the cloning technology.

It’s like buying a brand new super car and then throwing the cheapest used tires you can find on it.

Dr. Wu tries to push Hammond to use slower, calmer, easier to contain dna modifications but Hammond ignores him, Wu can’t quit cause he was sniped as a post-doctorate and can’t publish any of his work so every employer would see a worthless resume

Muldoon demanded better weapons to handle the dinosaurs if something happened, Hammond doesn’t let him have anything more than a single tranq firing rocket launcher because “he doesn’t want the dinosaurs to be hurt”

Nedry was the lowest bidder but then they refused to give him good specifications and requirements “due to secrecy” so of course the code had bugs, which he was not supposed to be on the hook to fix for free, but Hammond went and slandered him to all of his other and future customers, basically blackmailing him till he came and did a ton of free labor.

Dr. Harding, the only veterinarian, (who also was the father of Sarah Harding in Lost World), wasn’t allowed to dissect any of the animals to study their physiology, so when they tried to sterilize them with radiation they had to guess where the reproductive organs were.

John Arnold (hold onto your butts) was overworked and the only person who know how to use the systems, creating a single point of failure. He also was ignored when he insisted that the park needed more testing before they open the park but was ignored by Hammond, because it would take too much time. He also said they relied too much on automation, but was ignored due to costs and cool new tech.

Hammond was an asshole who portrays the typical tech bro attitude even though he’s an old man. He was mostly a fundraiser not the brains behind the project. His former partner who was the genius behind the cloning tech (and Wu’s former teacher) died of cancer. But even during the fundraising he was a total fraud, they had made a pigmy elephant and used it as a demonstration of the cloning tech, but it actually wasn’t a clone or any dna modifications that made it. And on top of that it had a shitty temperament and would get sick if people touched it. Dude was a total snake the entire time. And he ultimately dies at the end by a bunch of Compys after the park has been mostly restored.

This just in. Cutting up a magazine or newspaper is also illegal /s
