Yeah, not denying the bribing. But that doesn't change tax law. It still needsto be passed by congress. Does it affect enforcement, though? maybe

Can one "cut a deal" with the IRS without it ending up in legislation (i.e. tax law)?

Murdering buses of people doesn't bring the full force of the US military on them. The difference is the risk not the depravity.

He's not just the leader, he's the primary beneficiary, and he's a blatant white supremacist. He's arguably responsible for the deaths of over 1 million people world wide from his short tenure shutting down USAID[0]. So yeah, I'd say its more than fine to take pleasure in his failings.

You're the one who made the claim. Do you have examples?

Pleas name a website the government has shut down over bias.

Yeah that'd be a very easy 1A case.

I mean it is a "a pejorative term used to describe negative reactions to U.S. President Donald Trump..." How is having a page for that biased. And this is coming from some who has been described in the past (not anymore) of having TDS.

Do bat's know what senses humans have? Or have the concept of what a human is compared to other organisms or moving objects? What is this analogy?

Where's the big in-production use of this stuff in business that is making money and selling a product people use?

I don't want to be too inflammatory but seeing comments like this are what's poisoning AI to me more than the crappy products themselves. Of course the apology would suggest that, it would be business malpractice not to. However the history of results with these things shows otherwise so why put stock in the apology letter and not what has happened.

Also, sure people want that, but that doesn't mean it's a valid thing to want without putting the work in and once again, the history of these things being used shows that they don't really offer that. They offer the *feeling* of that which is good enough to get people's money, end products be damned. You could say the same thing about herion, tbh: "There are many people who don't wanna feel the crappiness of life, and these dealers are offering it."

That didn't answer the question but just repeat the original claim differently. Where are they getting those numbers?

But it knows what you're querying, which depending on what you're doing may also give away a good bit about whats in the DB.

No. I said "by definition" which means based on the meaning of the word not the context.

nessbot — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 00:51:58 +0000

I didn't say it was or was not unreasonable, I said it was surveillance by definition (i.e. based on what the world means).

nessbot — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 18:15:17 +0000

I mean regardless of whether it has value in being used, it's pretty much, by definition, "surveillance tech."

Yeah I get personally being worried but it's a weird thing to post online because the implication shared is that it'd be better if he [was allowed to]* just abuse emergency powers.
