  • Trump Agriculture Chief Mocked for Suggesting Medicaid Recipients Could Replace Deported Farm Workers

  • I mean, I guess they could have slammed her. But you have to work your way up to a slam. If slamming is your opening move, where do you go from there?

  • Oh, and ads too. Everybody needs to stop buying advertising altogether.

    Ok. I think that fixes it.

  • Stocks and bonds. (Oh, and futures and options and derivatives and ETFs and crypto and collateralized debt obligations and all the rest of that bullshit.)

    The entire "financial sector". The "markets".

    And I mean like... if E V E R Y O N E did.

  • Does anyone even believe these stupid tariff announcements anymore? How much more likely is it that he cancels them last minute, or drops them after less than a week, or delays them for another 90 days? He has less than zero credibility.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces Bill To Tackle 'Weather Modification'

  • This is sadly the correct answer. Performative legislation for Alex Jones droolers.

    The real thing it actually does 'ban' in practice, is where after having done absolutely nothing about CO2 emissions, we would turn the sky white forever to keep the temperature from going to +3.5°C to +10°C so that it's still possible to grow some crops outdoors somewhere and everybody doesn't die. That's still a couple of decades in the future; China and Australia will probably agree to do it and whatever's left of the US by then will have no say in the matter.

  • Half of today’s jobs could vanish—Here’s how smart countries are future-proofing workers

  • Vague hand-waving bullshit either written by an AI or the next writer to lose their job to one.

    If and when AI is competent enough to replace 50% of the workforce, do you really think it is going to need an equal or greater number of people working full time at jObS tHaT hAvEn'T bEeN iNvEnTeD yET to manage it?

    No. We're going to feed the migrant workers to the gators and Generation Brainrot is going to spend the rest of their lives working in the fields and meat packing plants. The 0.1% will see line go up, and the rest of us will get Soylent Green before we get UBI.

  • We could subsidize the farms that grow actual food crops picked by humans at a high enough rate that the food is affordable and the workers are paid reasonably well. And do that instead of subsidizing farms that grow feed corn, ethanol corn, and grain/soy for export.

  • This is same boneheaded DOGE AI that will soon decide whether you should lose your voting rights, due process rights, or citizenship for belonging to the terrorist organization Antifa.

    The actually smart AI is the one Palantir will be using to deanonymize all your posts on the internet and hand off the results to the first one.

  • Yes they both suck, yes Republicans suck worse, but I think you're missing some important nuance of exactly how the Democrats suck. Let's game this out:

    If 77 million of the dumbest shitheads ever to walk the Earth were to simultaneously, spontaneously implode tomorrow, everything would change. But especially the Democratic Party. The party leadership would not be able to keep doing what it had been doing. Their whole game requires the Republicans to exist as a credible threat for what's going to happen if you don't keep giving them money and settling for whoever they foist on you. They always try to run the furthest-right soulless hack they possibly can, so they calculate what the threshold is that would make enough people say "fuck this, I'm sitting this one out" to throw the race to the Republican, and aim just to the left of that. So, with every single Trump fan or likely R voter gone ( and nothing of value lost ) the entire electorate is now split- pretty evenly on age lines- between the proudly centrist, CNN-watching Biden 2020 primary voters, and the angry progressive left who's been holding their nose and voting for the lesser of two evils their whole life.

    The Democratic party can only pick up the first group. Democratic Socialists take the other group. Nonvoters become a much smaller group, and third parties remain negligible. Now the only way for the Democratic party to survive (Especially since the c-suite and board of directors of most of their corporate donors just went poof, so those companies restructured as co-ops...) is to keep running the only play they know- unilaterally compromise and triangulate with the other party. So what they do now is move as far left as they can get away with without losing their base, who they're already losing to old age.

    Anthropic Warns: Top AI Models Show Willingness to Blackmail

  • Amodei is an even bigger grifting fraud than Altman. This is "research" contrived to produce clickbait articles with the goal of making Anthropic's product seem more impressive than it is. In fact I would argue this exact bullshit is Anthropic's product at this point. Peddling magic beans to credulous venture capitalists with the promise of the ArTiFiCiAl sUpErInTeLliGeNcE at the top of the beanstalk giving them infinite ROI Real Soon Now. Better not miss out on the hype bubble new paradigm!
