Gotta admit, that would be the most hilarious assasination of all time.

"umm... yeah so we gave him a gift of a technology that america doesn't even use... of which the only way most people in america even remember they exist, is because we turned a bunch of them into bombs... But it's gold plated and tacky looking which trump can't resist, so we know he'll wear it openly on his next press conference".

I mean yes fuck them..., also it's sad that things are far enough in the lunacy that... they are aware how fucked the rest of the path is. It's kind of like when the headlines for Isis were basically "Al Queda is warning that ISIS is too extreme".

It's insane on too many fronts... I mean off the bat it's an insanely weird gift, half illegal... and I guess it's also a reference to a warcrime?

I guess the question is if that's maybe better marketing. IE on this person yeah probably (though that also can be lowered if you own both the hospital and the insurance. But the side factor of perhaps the joker or penguin villain leaders, knowing that they need to have a good health insurance plan purchased for all of their minions

Problem here that comes first and foremost... we're threatening to block trumps appointments? Sorry none of his appointments should have deserved a single democratic vote. If you could block them... why the hell are we confirming the DUI initiative in charge of the military, and a medicine denying Health agent.

I can't name a single trump pic that's even close to qualified... and all of them should be fought every step of the way on their own merits... regardless of what musk is doing.

I'm for one solid in things... but yeah friends, family, I can do without all that.

Job, House, and of course citizen status... not so easily for me. especially in my case as I'm not legally married to my GF, and have an 18 year old non biological son that's also not legally connected to me or my wife in any way.

Which fricking is insane... because while a pain in the ass, social media is optional to begin with, and if you organize your friends together, you can all go join a mastadon instance or any number of other options. If I knew an easy way to leave the US, I'd have considered the option a long time ago.

and almost instantly followed up with nintendo's anouncement of their own version.

But if all these generative models are so designed to replace the people upon whose videos they’re based, who/what will train the next generation of models, I wonder?

Maybe we hit a regular cycle...

IE Data is all trained on real video, gets good enough that humans cannot differentiate. Real video becomes rare, AIs are now training on AI videos. Result... AI video becomes effectively copy of copy of copy of copy... degredation becomes obvious. as mistakes are now compounding. AI developers have to start creating and introducing un-tampered video to train with. AI starts to get better.

I mean... one one hand it's hardly supprising. Off the bat we know AI is more knowledgable than any single individual that doesn't bother to research... and well 80% of online forum type posts aren't exactly researched. second, AI can confidently bullshit in a way that can only be debunked easily by someone knowledgeable.

Remember, a lot of the time we say “Well the President can’t do this” or “The President can’t do that”, we are relying on long-standing norms, expectations, and traditions. Not actual law. Trump is challenging all of that. He’s not relying on those long-standing norms. He’s challenging them. Instead of saying “I can’t”, he’s saying “Why can’t i? And what are you going to do about it if I do?”, and finding out that nobody really has an answer for that.

We will call this new style of politics "air bud politics". Where we find out that basically if we didn't say the president can't do something, it's assumed he implicitly can.

Is there a chance this can be half spun... IE lets say he doesn't have any actual ability to do more then send out e-mails and walk up to people and say "You are fired".

In the same way that I can walk into walmart and tell every employee they are fired. Which if I can make myself sound important they may leave... I don't have the authority to fire them, but who's going to stop me. First ammendment says we can yell "you are fired" in a crowded theater.
