A lot of this AI stuff seems to be about creating a feeling of inevitability along with FOMO among investors who don’t know any better, while hoping the tech catches up to the expectations before everyone realizes it’s not quite there yet. Reminds me a lot of the Dot-Com bubble where everyone could see the potential but the ideas were too early for both the culture and the tech. Unfortunately dark gpus have a much shorter shelf life than dark fiber.

This is a systems problem, not a human problem. It was inevitable that any weaknesses in the system would eventually be exploited. We should focus on fixing the system so this cannot happen again.

The most likely outcome is that no one will be punished for anything in the Epstein files.

Probably this bit on page 4, which parent comment addresses: “More efficient cooling architecture taking advantage of higher ΔT in space.”

I think at some point it would be more useful to talk about this and other behavior by this administration from a mental health perspective.

Sounds pretty invasive for privacy, if this was ever paired with smart glasses in public.

Capitalists only care about capital. Witness how fast the DEI stuff was jettisoned once it was determined to be unprofitable under the current administration.

Would this count as libel? It’s a publication of a false, damaging statement in a fixed form (writing, print, picture, broadcast) that harms a person's reputation, exposing them to hatred, contempt, or ridicule.

Regarding option (2), isn’t SCOTUS supposed to rule on the legality of Trump’s tariffs soon?

“In 1969, Schenck was largely overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio, which limited the scope of speech that the government may ban to that directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a riot).”

Perhaps we should adopt a system that doesn’t create, or rely on, poverty?

If the residency restrictions were removed the labor market would work as intended. We’re doing this to ourselves to protect private profits at the expense of people’s lives.

If all this stuff that happens during Trump’s presidency gets normalized, and not reversed and severely punished, it’s going to get worse. They’ll push the Overton Window as far as they can in their pursuit of power.

We shouldn’t need to count on voters dying to avoid outcomes like this. Our institutions are broken if they can’t protect the public from a mentally ill public official on a power trip.
