Curb your Enthusiasm did a whole season about this. Should be relatively straightforward for him to get them to call it off as long as he follows their blueprint.

The article is about the list of Putin's inner circle since the beginning of the war in Ukraine (2 in just the last week).

Starovoit is among a number of state officials and prominent businessmen who have died in mysterious circumstances since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Putin’s foes and critics have often met with violent deaths.

I think most people know the number of individuals who have fallen out of windows would be a much bigger list. 6 very prominent individuals with direct links to Putin have been killed, just over the past week 2 more have been killed and several have been arrested. It seems like Putin is taking over any resources he needs and cleaning house in an attempt to defeat Ukraine.

Also, that was the suggested auto title, and how it appears on the homepage of the news website.

Fair enough. That's never been a doubt to me. I still don't understand how the Zodiac killer could hold office as long as he has, but as long as he's got power, he's going to keep trying to destroy this country.

I'm like "Fuck the broligarchs, you can kiss my whole asshole If you 'on't like regulations you can press fast forward"

Fingers crossed. Not sure how many children and innocent civilians you have to intentionally murder for absolutely no reason in 2025 to get charged with a war crime, but it must be a pretty high bar bc...

? I don't see them trying to sneak an AI regulation ban again anytime soon. This is about the strongest bipartisan support against anything I can recall in my life.

Many of the people that voted against this are to blame for many of the other problems we are about to be hit with.

However, of all the scary shit in that bill, this was one of the most concerning to me. Specifically in terms of irreversibility to the damage it would do, the creation of national AI surveillance databases being built across the country, and the kind of environmental and safety regulations that will have to be ignored in order to power them.

The closest thing to hope, I hold for my own state, is that I just hope whatever lesson we ended up serve as in future history books isn't on the same scale or worse than Chernobyl.

I can breathe a little easier knowing that the entire country won't be facing a mandatory federal law demanding they be more like Louisiana in terms of deregulation in order to make a terrible idea actually profitable, regardless of how many people it hurts.

I'm sorry, but that's bullshit. This would have been the inverse of how a federal government is supposed to work. Rather than keeping individuals from being exploited at the state level, the exploiters are now at the federal level creating policy. They've had a plan in place since Trump's first term, and they don't want blue states interfering.

Governors of states are already looking to remove federal safety regulations to build small modular nuclear reactors in order to power these dumb fucking data centers they will likely be using to store very unethical surveillance data.

They are also planning to use AI to more efficiently build nuclear reactors. While removing federal oversight and safety regulations that have been in place for 50 years... What could possibly go wrong?

99 problems but this bitch ain't one.

Bruh you (Bush, not OP) are to blame for a big ole chunk of the authoritarian powers this man has.

They had to create an entire office of civil rights and liberties dedicated to DHS just because of the patriot act. Now we still have all the government overreach allowed by the patriot act, and a president who decided if a civil rights office gets in the way of his violating civil rights, he would just shut it down.

I posted an article earlier about how it apparently really hurt his chances in the election thats scheduled next April but it got removed.

Not sure if somebody is just reporting them, but it was the second article related to Hungary and the Pride march that wasn't a repost but still got removed for some reason.

It's more like laughing hysterically because the person trying to bury you alive accidentally got himself trapped in the coffin with you.

Today sucks for so many reasons, but this put a smile on my face. This lost 99-1!! 🤣🤣🤣

Sorry for the double post glitch. Idk why that keeps happening lately.

Who? Man nobody has heard of desperate for warmth of spotlight.

Didnt they have the same reaction when somebody ate a cheese steak with a knife and fork? The things they fixate on...

Maybe if we keep squawking about a bunch of dumb shit, nobody will notice how many rural Americans are about to be fucked 6 ways from Sunday by this big beautiful bill. Then we can spin it as this guy eating with his hands made you lose your healthcare.

I love Raymond Scott! Be sure to also bump all volumes of soothing sounds for babies

Somebody drove through my neighborhood earlier today ~12pm with this song cranked to the absolute maximum volume. It caught my attention and I knew I had heard it before but couldn't remember the name.

Then (I'm assuming it was the same person) drove by playing it again at maximum volume like 20 mins ago. It sent me on a mission to remember it so I could listen to the full song. 10/10 earworm.

It's only as intelligent as the people that control and regulate it.

Given all the documented instances of Facebook and other social media using subliminal emotional manipulation, I honestly wonder if the recent cases of AI chat induced psychosis are related to something similar.

Like we know they're meant to get you to continue using them, which is itself a bit of psychological manipulation. How far does it go? Could there also be things like using subliminal messaging/lighting? This stuff is all so new and poorly understood, but that usually doesn't stop these sacks of shit from moving full speed with implementing this kind of thing.

It could be that certain individuals have unknown vulnerabilities that make them more susceptible to psychosis due to whatever manipulations are used to make people keep using the product. Maybe they're doing some things to users that are harmful, but didn't seem problematic during testing?

Or equally as likely, they never even bothered to test it out, just started subliminally fucking with people's brains, and now people are going haywire because a bunch of unethical shit heads believe they are the chosen elite who know what must be done to ensure society is able to achieve greatness. It just so happens that "what must be done," also makes them a ton of money and harms people using their products.

It's so fucking absurd to watch the same people jamming unregulated AI and automation down our throats while simultaneously forcing traditionalism, and a legal system inspired by Catholic integralist belief on society.

If you criticize the lack of regulations in the wild west of technology policy, or even suggest just using a little bit of fucking caution, then you're trying to hold back progress.

However, all non-tech related policy should be based on ancient traditions and biblical text with arbitrary rules and restrictions that only make sense and benefit the people enforcing the law.

What a stupid and convoluted way to express you just don't like evidence based policy or using critical thinking skills, and instead prefer to just navigate life by relying on the basic signals from your lizard brain. Feels good so keep moving towards, feels bad so run away, or feels scary so attack!

Such is the reality of the chosen elite, steering us towards greatness.

What's really "funny" (in a we're all doomed sort of way) is that while writing this all out, I realized the "chosen elite" controlling tech and policy actually perfectly embody the current problem with AI and bias.

Rather than relying on intelligence to analyze a situation in the present, and create the best and most appropriate response based on the information and evidence before them, they default to a set of pre-concieved rules written thousands of years ago with zero context to the current reality/environment and the problem at hand.

I was just asking because I literally didn't know what this was referring to.

Just a reminder that Louisiana is the 2nd most dependent state on Medicaid.

Every major hospital system is warning the House Speaker this will cause catastrophic harm to people in his own state.

Meanwhile, even the Cato Institute has pointed out Republicans are literally just burning absurd amounts of money on Deportations.

Deportations to Add Almost $1 Trillion in Costs to the “Big Beautiful Bill”

Really curious to hear how Americans are being helped by anything the Republican party is doing right now?

Did the DNC say something about Mamdani?
