“That is a great question. One option ChatGPT could pursue for profit would be to continue the circular reciprocal investments between Nvidia and ChatGPT. Here is a helpful illustrative video on how the concept works.” youtu.be/YAKOWcs8w54?...

Couldn’t Sam Altman just ask ChatGPT how to make itself profitable

... because if there were no drugs, nor any evidence of drugs, then the whole affair was just straight-up murder—a murder with two witnesses. So, y'know, if you're gonna do murders anyway, murder everyone. (NOTE: I am both broadly and specifically opposed to the doing of murders.)

The fact that CBER's chair does not understand the difference between pneumonia and pneumococcal is embarrassing. And not knowing that and still thinking he knows enough to assess the way the vaccines are testing - or the evidence about their effectiveness - is empty arrogance.

which of you said "they're never gonna build the ballroom, he just tore down a chunk of the white house for no reason" because I remember someone saying it and I want to see what else they know

Winning the war on woke

. Kash Patel today: "When you attack American citizens, when you attack our institutions of legislation, when you attack our nation's Capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life." Never ever forget #January6th !! 💠 👊 💠

The US is close to an institutional collapse across multiple public health agencies. Trump/RFK have purged anyone with expertise, many have fled and they’ve been replaced w functionaries who are either incompetent or malicious. I don’t think many understand how close to the edge we are right now.

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Who’s gonna tell ‘em

The destruction of institutional knowledge right now is deliberate, and will have effects for decades. An unrecoverable amount of person-centuries of knowledge, tossed in the trash, in every academic field and institution.

Consider Max Born, forced by the nazis in 1933 as one of their very first acts in power to leave Gottingen and flee to Cambridge, along with basically all their other best physicists. www.cantorsparadise.com/the-great-pu...

the truly shocking number of people out here just swooning over this man with their whole chest reminds me of how I could never see those magic eye puzzles in the 90s my eyes don’t do that, sorry! I can’t see the handsome man in this picture

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

Breaking: Administration officials working overtime to find turkeys with sexual assault and crypto scam convictions so the President can pardon them

this man has blood on his hands and everyone who supported him and excused him has blood on their hands and I do not want to hear a single fucking Democrat with any position other than "impeach and remove him immediately" he and his MAHA movement are child killers

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

If you need a laugh today 😂🤣😂🤣😂

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

A grim comedic aspect of Mag Judge Fitzpatrick's ruling in Comey's case, finding that Halligan "potentially undermine[d] the integrity of the grand jury" with "fundamental misstatements of the law," is that AG Bondi purported to review those minutes & to ratify everything Halligan did—twice.

I just called both my Senators and my Congressman to tell them to fight to strip this lunacy from the defense authorization act. Then I wrote them each letters. You can, too! Call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Pope Leo XIV has inaugurated the operation of a modern outpatient clinic for the poor and homeless—the St. Martin's Clinic. It is located in the Vatican under Bernini's colonnade. It will help diagnose and treat the most common diseases affecting people living in poverty.

Both Texas A&M and Indiana University should lose accreditation.

We're going to "15 year olds are fair game if you're a fifty year old man," are we? Disgusting.

We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity. If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white nationalist hacker to leak it to them.

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

You squirts better skedaddle.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

Apparently Trump was right, we ARE getting tired of winning!

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

“The Americas — North, Central, & South — is the only region of the world that has ever managed to stop endemic transmission of measles. But that hard-won victory against the highly contagious virus is on the verge of being rolled back… “I think it’s a big wake-up call.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

Farewell, America.

@digitalocean.com Why haven't you posted about and announced the droplet limitations in NYC3? It seems like if you're going to break ongoing workflows you'd let people know about it...

NEW: The Trump admin just ended the practice of automatically extending work permits when people file to renew them — meaning that if USCIS takes too long to process a renewal the applicant loses their authorization to work legally. The interim final rule applies to renewals filed after tomorrow.

DHS comms staffers: Read one (1) book on the American revolution. Any of them. Pictures are ok.

Freddie Mercury came to the UK as a kid because people that looked like him were being killed back home in Zanzibar. In the UK, he formed Queen. In the UK, he became a global icon. 📍 Liverpool, where Freddie Mercury met Brian May
