    “Solar fields are a health hazard”….

    Yes, child, too much exposure to “solar fields” can give you a bad sunburn, and over a lifetime can increase your risk for skin cancer. However this is why we invented sunblock.

    Sadly, we can do nothing for the idiots and their bottomless appetite for lead paint chips.

    Just call it what it is: the “Roberts Segregation Court.”

    Make it trend. Bonus point to get “Chief Klansman of the Supereme Court” trending too.

      “Arizona State University rolled out a platform called Atomic that creates AI-generated modules based on lectures taken from ASU faculty by cutting long videos down to very short clips then generating text and sections based on those clips. Faculty and scholars I spoke to whose lectures are included in Atomic are disturbed by their lectures being used in this way—as out-of-context, extremely short clips some cases—and several said they felt blindsided or angered by the launch. Most say they weren’t notified by the school and found out through word of mouth. And the testing I and others did on Atomic showed academically weak and even inaccurate content. Not only did ASU allegedly not communicate to its academic community that their lectures would be spliced up and cannibalized by an AI platform, but the resulting modules are just bad.” https://www.404media.co/asu-atomic-ai-modules-arizona-state-university/

    It’s amazing the people on tv even try to debate this. The only meaningful and true thing to say here is:

    “This isn’t math. It’s incompetence. The president is clearly is not even smart enough to do basic arithmetic that any 4th grade child can do. It’s not up for debate.”

    So much for “nothing but total, unconditional surrender!1!!1!!!”

    More like — “let’s roll back sanctions so you can repress your people more, because we don’t really give a crap about the Iranian people — it was always about the oil.”

    How much you wanna bet Trump demands a piece of the revenue in order to roll back to sanctions?

    In this case it’s something completely different: Ellison has been creating debt instruments to fund his and his son’s takeover of Paramount and now Warner Brothers (over $111B for Warner alone). That combined with the debt from his misbegotten AI buildout has tanked Oracle’s credit and stock.

Not because it has been able to successfully replace anyone's job, but because the big tech companies are all gambling so much on becoming trillionaires that they have to throw tens of thousands of workers into unemployment to pay for it.

    Let’s be clear: SpaceX is reportedly about to have an IPO:
    - Are these billions in expenditure being paid off out of the IPO proceeds?

    - Is the purchase of these thousands of cybertrucks in the IPO disclosure?

    - What existing, pre-IPO funds are paying for these?

    - Was this disclosed to investors?

    - What’s the legit business purpose of buying these cybertrucks?

    - Is the purchase only to bolster Tesla’s sales numbers?

    So many questions, so many possible avenues for fraud or deception.
