Yup. Trump is offering federal employees a "buyout" to accept early resignation, and also threatening a purge of anyone that isn't sufficiently loyal to him personally.

He wants to replace everybody with lackeys and yesmen.

#Deepseek. I've seen a lot about it but everything I've seen that was informative is also very pro AI. I'm not so i won't share links to them.

Basically:
China was denied the newest chips to make AI so everyone in the US assumed they would never get there.
But China used less capable chips and optimized the hell out of them to make something work that's actually way more efficient.
So tech stocks are worried there could be a bubble now, and generalized AI hype is seeing a surge today.

Mostly i think this is about American hubris.

@rysiek
I think somehow he's replaced Ivanka and i hate to think about what this means exactly

@mekkaokereke
"The other cheek" is my butt.

"Turning it" is me turning around to leave

Why should we care about bluesky? I came here to get away from billionaires.

Weird how they can't hear that answer specifically

The year is 2025 and no one knows what's true anymore. AI has supplanted the entirety of human knowledge stores with reasonable sounding but often very wrong language slop. Information sources dated before the AI epoch have been overwritten by machines diligently making web pages relevant to the search engine gods. Public projects to save our history have been shut down for the same copyright infringements AI training sets indulge in.

People are finally asking each other questions again

Countable: more or fewer
More pedestrians, fewer cars

Uncountable: more or less
More happiness, less strife

"You can always have more, but don't count on less."
- me. I wrote this

People ask if the word data is singular or plural but I've never had "fewer data", which tells me it's uncountable

I can't help but feel a disconnect when people say the American healthcare system is the worst because it gives the worst results for the most cost.
That's exactly what the business wants to do! They are succeeding wildly at their mission to make profit

The problem is: we let them make a profit on human suffering. So of course they created more human suffering!

I hate to break this to people but i think the wealthy elite are more likely to see their victims as problems to overcome than human beings worthy of their respect and sympathy - regardless of any single act of violence

@gabrielesvelto
That person was prepared. I'm convinced they could have made a firearm from parts if they had to. (I mean, from what I've read it seems like they halfway did)

@Lazarou @gabrielesvelto
They had an improvised silencer and possibly used custom loaded ammo. I think they must have rehearsed the entire sequence, with ammo, in advance.

I love that this place is not ran by billionaires. I hope that means we're better able to adapt to hostile information environments. I hope we can start to move people away from hostile and commercially funded information sources.

Commercial media exists to make money and pretend to guide the zeitgeist. They do no such thing but it helps us like them if we think they do. (Billionaires love to stand next to the things other people build and claim the work as their own.)

Hey just a thought but if your information sources are not informing you and instead cause you stress, maybe you can find new sources for information.
