The CIA agents who directed him also shouldn’t be allowed to enter or remain in the United States.

Republicans are saying the same thing.

“Venezuela for the American oil companies will be a field day because it will be more than a trillion dollars in economic activity.”

“American companies can go in and fix the oil rigs and everything that has to do with the Venezuelan petroleum companies, with oil and the derivatives.”

“The Venezuelans have the largest reserves of oil in the world, more than Saudi Arabia. This is going to be a windfall for us when it comes to fossil fuels.”

They’re just saying it out loud.

Andrew Yang’s centrist party with no principles? What is this doing here?

That’s just where you put programs that sound good but no one wants to spend the money to actually accomplish them. 2050 might be the end of the world, but it’d be because all the stuff we needed to do to head it off were given “we’ll get to it eventually” deadlines.

In that they’ll discover a task that sounds easy will be practically impossible to accomplish?

Using the best models as synthetic data is mostly pointless. You’re just going to recreate all of its biases and failures in a degraded copy. The whole point of open source software is being able to analyze the source code to learn how it works and understand and ideally remove its weaknesses.

Open weights doesn’t let you do that, and what research it enables is mostly just tinkering around the edges. If someone trained a network, but it kept saying racist stuff, you can’t figure out why it’s racist or rebuild it without the racism from weights alone. Just the weights is like having a binary. Maybe nice to have a gratis app to use, but not really open.

Open-source AI is the data, not the weights. Weights alone isn’t useless, but it’s not a platform to truly understand and modify a network. No one wants to open their data though, because that’s both what gives them a competitive edge and it would be an admission of widespread copyright violations.

I’m surprised they didn’t cancel the project for being woke.

AOC (or Mandami) is not the critical approver to primary Jeffries. Her being publicly at war with the minority leader of her party for the next year doesn’t do anything useful, so let her avoid answering. It doesn’t mean she’s a class traitor or has given up on progressivism. Nancy Pelosi “endorsed” progressive Democrats all the time. It didn’t mean she was their friend and it didn’t make centrists any more likely to vote for them in a primary. And this isn’t even an endorsement, it’s just dodging the question.

So if she’s not a terrorist and didn’t do anything criminal, that sure sounds like the officer shooting her is a criminal act.

It should. This is straight up eugenics. No one should be making genetic fitness a priority when proposing state policy.

A “generation” of students aren’t prompt engineers. And even if you learned one useless skill in your major during college, you still have the entire rest of the program. I haven’t used many of the skills I learned in college and my industry has changed extensively since then, but learning those things contributed to a larger competency.

That sucks, but we’re not a real economy if we just keep bad companies afloat because people have invested in them. We certainly don’t need to filter any aid to unfortunate retirees in need through the stock market.

Except Mitch McConnel won. His political project was incredibly successful. Schumer has just failed over and over, losing battles and rights and leading the party to their lowest favorability in decades.

Why do people keep assuming Chuck Schumer is some master tactician when literally all we’ve ever seen from him is failure after failure?

Trust the process. It’s Mueller time baby! /s

There’s a few other fascist states following Texas, so even if Texas fails CA is still necessary.

So glad we gave him everything he wanted so now we have no leverage at all. Another masterful play by Chuck Schumer.

I’m not a gun guy, but that seems incredibly reckless. Seems like there’s lots of room for human or mechanical error when you’ve got the barrel pointed at someone and you’re whacking it against a hard surface. Pretty unlikely something like that falls within firearms safety best practices.
