Cruelty and greed also tend to get along. It could be both.

Yeah I think the one that shut them down best was the BBS reporter asking ‘If Hamas was holding the hostages in Israel, would you still be bombing them like you are in Gaza?’

You can license the output of a likeness powered by AI.

More likely he’d hire someone to hire someone to hire some upset Iranians and give them a few RPGs. There’s huge gaps in security because the orange turd spends his weekends stinking up golf courses that are essentially impossible to secure.

AI deepfakes are all over the place right now. Or did you think the video of Trump being a rock star was real?

You know that quiet pause a dog takes before trying to bite your face off? The US keeps taking that pause. At some point a twig is going break during that pause, and we’re going to have a right mess on our hands.

Sure would be a shame if the next starship landed on mara lago…

Too bad the supreme court put the dagger in artists backs for AI already. It would have been great if a company would license an artists source material to make a set of variations for a limited venue. Like a company licensing a voice actor’s samples, then they get to use AI to make those characters say whatever they want, in that one movie, or that one game, based on the license.

As it is now, we’re going to end up with Spruce Lee fighting Hackie Chan movies, and none of the actors or their estates will get to say shit about it.

Boilerplate code is where it rocks. The syntax for that API function you use once every 5 years and no way remember, it’s got you covered. It can knock out helper functions like a boss too. Nothing complex, that takes too long to fix, but the text filter and type conversion stuff is quicker than typing them out yourself.

I suspect that’s a sampling bias due to sample size. He probably has low support though. It’s kind of crazy, but if the republican party wasn’t insanely racist, and actually social/fiscal conservative, they would probably take a majority of the black vote. The black community supports gay rights, because they’re acutely aware of minority rights issues, not because they really accept gay people.

Taken as an overall group anyway, obviously there’s a whole range of views among the community.

It really doesn’t have any correlation to 2028. If anything it just shows the current mood of the electorate. Probably more informative if there were multiple surveys to compare movement against.

Ahhh! High school flash backs, NOOOO

Even AI knows your dog is out of your league.

The rule is to do what you’re both comfortable with, and see if those things match up. If you’re not up for drinking, then don’t. And recognize that social drinking might be more important to the person you’re interested in.

Ok, now I want one. Pi powered CV to identify fire, and maybe figure out a way to identify what type of fire.

I was misunderstanding a bit myself. I was thinking you meant by yourself. As a state, California could possibly increase property taxes to maximize everyone’s salt deduction. As more of a long term solution it might even be an idea depending on California constitutional law. More likely though, they would just have to fight the illegal impoundment in the court. While it would likely take months to get done, changing tax law the the affects of that would take years.

They don’t do that now. The IRS contacts the bank, that’s licensed as a bank by the federal government, and tells them to close your account. Usually the first step is to freeze your assets, then they start taking things. The banks aren’t going to argue, they’re not going to give up their entire business just to protect you, or a single state. Even if it is California.

It would be considered tax evasion. Deductions not authorized by federal statute, have no affect on federal tax laws. Start following your own rules, and they will come knocking on your door. Of course with staffing cuts, it could be years from now when they show up.

The irs wouldn’t recognize the deduction and you would still owe the entire amount to the federal government.

That’s the problem California doesn’t send taxes to the Federal government. People and businesses pay directly to the government. There’s no mechanism to even stop it on a state level if a governor wanted to.
