Been thinking about that one with the AI fun they’re building now. If you think IBM helped the holocaust, just wait till you see what ChatGPT can do. It’s going to be like thought police.

You can license the output of a likeness powered by AI.

AI deepfakes are all over the place right now. Or did you think the video of Trump being a rock star was real?

Too bad the supreme court put the dagger in artists backs for AI already. It would have been great if a company would license an artists source material to make a set of variations for a limited venue. Like a company licensing a voice actor’s samples, then they get to use AI to make those characters say whatever they want, in that one movie, or that one game, based on the license.

As it is now, we’re going to end up with Spruce Lee fighting Hackie Chan movies, and none of the actors or their estates will get to say shit about it.

The entire space race was mostly between American nazi’s and Russian nazi’s.

Ahhh! High school flash backs, NOOOO

Ok, now I want one. Pi powered CV to identify fire, and maybe figure out a way to identify what type of fire.

I said nothing about being disarmed, or losing.

Pretty sure I pull up with a semi full of fertilizer and I’d be their bestest friend.

I didn’t say armed resistance doesn’t work. I said your gun isn’t going to work.

If the government comes for me, they’re bringing more people than I can shoot. The first answer to that, is to prevent that from happening through political action. The second is that you don’t respond to that with a gun.

Everyone on Ruby ridge was armed, everyone in Waco was armed. They’re all dead for their troubles. A gun won’t fix that problem.

I don’t know, every time I drink that much I forget.

A beard is the cheapest low effort option. Just trim it once in a while and you’re done.

Like anyone can afford to talk to a doctor any more.

Yeah, he’s one of the soft targets that should be hiding in a bunker if Trump decides to invade Canada. Not because it would save him, but it saves time on burial if he’s already underground.

The choice was, be a friend, or be pig food. Kevin chose wisely.

Shorts covered with quartz sequins would scatter the image enough to blind the scanner. Make sure they’re mounted with glue instead of metal mounts, or they’ll fail the metal detector.

Everyone involved in that picture is too close to that moose.

Actually yes, there are more oligarchs than the idiots in charge right now, and it’s going to come to a head at some point. Each one has their feifdom and they won’t go quietly.

More to the point, it’s going to reach the point of mass protest again, and moron is going to call in the military. After which everything is on the table. No one in power will be safe in anything but armored transport and guarded villages, which won’t last long. At that point the US and it’s global hegemony will be broken. There won’t be the resources to project military power beyond our borders and a few subject states, because it will cost so much to keep security at home, and productivity will tank hard.

No one can beat the US military except the US itself, and it’s being forced to do just that.

People wonder why there’s not enough snow plows in places like this, and I’m sitting here trying to justify the cost of a shovel.
