Fun fact! This beetle is illegal in Florida.

It shows [# replies] but nothing below.

The Times lays out, in as gentlemanly terms as possible, how fucked up this would be:

It would […] bring into sharp relief the questions about Mr. Musk’s conflicts of interest as he ranges widely across the federal bureaucracy while continuing to run businesses that are major government contractors. In this case, Mr. Musk, the billionaire chief executive of both SpaceX and Tesla, is a leading supplier to the Pentagon and has extensive financial interests in China.

So our educated hypothesis on this remains “got caught, deny, deny, deny.” (Adding support to that hypothesis is that Elon is now whining and promising that “those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information” will be prosecuted. How does one “leak” maliciously false information, praytell, Mr. South African nepo dipfuck?)

. . . The Times notes that the Wall Street Journal also independently confirmed that Elon was invited for the China Secrets briefing, and adds in the very next paragraph “Whatever the meeting will now be about …” as a transition phrase. So that’s funny. Also funny? Josh Marshall notes that the Wall Street Journal confirmed the story after Trump denied it.

Oh don’t worry - FEMA will still be there. Only instead of providing shelter and food, they’ll be arresting everyone and transferring them to “camps” in El Salvador. /s?

Y’know back in the 80’s there was a wild conspiracy theory that the government was going to take over and put everyone in camps under a secret organization known as FEMA that had the power to suspend the Constitution.

At the time, no one had heard of FEMA and conspiracy theorists were, as per usual, mocked for believing the government had gone to the trouble of creating an agency just to ship people off to camps.

They were also mocked for saying the government recorded all the communications going in and out of the country.

Good times. Good times.

Oh boy half the comments in here I can’t see because I blocked people. Hee hee!

Well, whatever you’re saying, I’m glad I can’t see it.

Thanks Obama!

144 bits?

It’s one of them, yes. There are others.

Yeah I know.

I wish it made any sense at all, but it doesn’t. And I can’t try any longer. That they would give this kind of idiot lip service to the organization working to kill more kids - that’s above and beyond.

Yeah, that’s probably the difference

Did you miss the article where local officials were giving out meat grinders to the parents of the KIA?

It’s . . . not . . . I don’t . . i mean. Yeah. Putin’s an absolute monster.

Okay, and fair enough, but I don’t want anything going to anyone. If it’s apple, it’s at least part of that DPA and it’s part of the whole deal, but OpenAI can gtfo of my phone. That’s a hard no.

Even then - what, find all the pictures of my dog bucky and message them to grandma? I guess? Put pushpin icons on the map where all my phot -oh wait it already does that. Umm . . how many of my phone contacts are Masons? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I dunno - I just don’t know what I’d use it for.

The deceased girl’s father insisted that measles helps build up a person’s immune system. “Also the measles are good for the body for the people,” the father said, explaining “You get an infection out.”

Oh, I get it. I hate my little girl too.

Additionally, police discovered that Kim redacted certain details related to former Defense Security Command chief Yeo In-hyung and former Special Warfare Command chief Kwak Jong-keun when he voluntarily submitted part of the secret phone record ledger to the prosecution on Jan. 25.

>ChatGPT$: what is perjury

Why, what, is there something different about the Google guy?

Anyone know the number of Americans killed in Vietnam without looking it up?

ChatGPT is there to understand the language and context of the request

Like, how? Or why? I admit I don’t use Siri hardly at all but the most I wanted from it was making a note, calling someone, or getting a simple search back. ChatGPT only does the latter that I know of, and its answers are often poorly sourced and often very wrong.

I don’t know - based on that - why I’d let it near anything actually important.

I’d have to know more specifics to really answer but the gist is that it will cost an exorbitant amount fir very little gain. There’s no magic to be had and every single honest survey shows people overwhelmingly don’t want it.

Sure, so long as it doesn’t mess up. Which is not possible. AI has no idea what a calendar is or what the word calendar means. And even if they do limit it to basic functionality like speech to text or scheduling, it already does most of that amd they’d be plowing millions into the slightest improvements.

On the other hand if they try to expand it and have it, say, plan a trip for you - it’s either not going to work or it’s going to have enough spectacular faults that it’s effectively unusable.

They’re falling for the hype even though they know it’s just hype.

Mike Rockwell, the Apple Vision Pro chief, has replaced John Giannandrea as the executive in charge of Siri, in an executive shakeup to try and rescue Apple’s flailing AI efforts.

The glacial rollout of Apple Intelligence and the lack of progress on Siri has not been a good look for Apple over the last year. Now, Apple is making a big change to get things back on track.

The glacial rollout is because it doesn’t work, and it can’t work. Stop trying so hard to jump in the shit puddle, apple.

Sure and army squadrons hopped up on meth can wipe out an entire square full of unarmed protesters in no time.
