only plutocrats can do hard things? it’s just not that expensive.

the US military is an example of an effective, high quality labor pool reinforced by a well organized benefits state. sets a dangerous example.

does deep seek low training cost presage the possibility of models built and trained by nonprofits with broad public support, with no plutocrat or aspiring plutocrat anywhere in the pipeline?

$100M is my number, and that seems too much. But yeah.

Indeed. The very worst.

i’m not sure to do with the metaphor, but the idea is surprisingly appealing…

i think i read something you wrote that accidentally said Alito and you very quickly fixed it?

in prospect revenge is more appealing than remedy. but it’s like a bag of cheetos — you’ll find you wish you’d gone for the salad after you’ve binged.

“I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV. Today I will be performing your heart surgery.”

not yet! i’ll take a look.

yes. but i think the blame will lie with the administration, whether catastrophes are a direct outcome of their actions, or a result of vulnerabilities the administration creates that others exploit.

adversarial propagandists can always try this sort of thing, but they always could. i can’t recall a situation where it worked. COVID home toiletpaper was a rea shortage. The issue here isn’t adversarial propagandists, I think, but the actual Federal government.

Oh, they can wink pretty persuasively. It’s worker in Florida. At first they were afraid the workforce would flee, but they winked. www.tampabay.com/opinion/2023...

just encountered a Rolls Royce SUV that looks like basically every other oversize SUV, and i think to myself wtf are you guys doing to your brand? looking forward to the Lamborghini minivan.

they’ve certainly tried to walk a line in Florida of talking a whole lot of scary shit but reassuring the illegal work force. i suspect pressure within their own coalition will render that the red state model.

to Grok “stripper” and “woman” are synonymous.

discretionary immigration enforcement to knee-cap blue state ag industries seems clever, until you realize food markets are mostly national and the economic advantage you give to red states will take the form to consumers either of high prices or shortages.

on the bright side, a military under Hegseth might struggle to defeat Greenland.
