Supreme court is the ultimate layer of protection and these criminals know it.

You are forgetting the trump card of Supreme Court. They will block any change or effort by Democrats no matter how many seats dems win.

Impeachment doesn't accomplish much anyway. Conviction in the senate requires 75% votes and that is not happening even if this admin starts concentration camps for opposition.

One way to think about it is that visible corruption is a constant fraction of invisible corruption in the system. Like a fixed fraction of an iceberg that is visible. One can estimate total corruption in the system by what is visible/flagrant. Based on this, the order of magnitude of corruption being done by this admin is orders of magnitude more than prior ones.

Given that about a third of the voters are fully in support of this, and likely about similar numbers are oblivious, I expect that nothing will be done about it once this admin goes out of power.

Maybe a few people will be made scapegoats to pacify the third that want justice (likely low level/weak ones), but the top level of perpetrators will be untouched and keep most of the loot.

I believe these tools change the value of different skill sets in a very profound ways. Being good with rules of a programming language and syntax is no longer as valuable as it used to be.

Understanding the problem space is becoming more valuable. Strength in architecture of a solution is another skill that is becoming very valuable.

We are close to getting to a point where someone with overall general (and perhaps not very detailed) understanding of arch and design and a good understanding of the problem space and having a good taste in usability will be able to create awesome solutinos.

I can't wait to see these solutions being created by one or two person teams.

Can ICE agents be prosecuted three years later if the party in Federal power changes?

This feels like from the Onion but it is real. So much for small government from these guys.

Ask HN: What will OpenAI nonprofit board do with tens of billions of dollars?

techlover14159 — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 13:37:29 +0000

It looks like there will be a transaction soon where the nonprofit board will be selling the company and receiving tens of billions to potentially over a hundred billion in consideration.

What do you think the non-profit board will do with this money?

It can be instrumental in developing and researching truly open source AI models and training etc.
