He has the deal with TSCM, but that’s only 3 foundries to be constructed “at a future date” so it’s not really much of a replacement.
He still has state charges, so at least he wouldn’t get out immediately, it would be another 10 years.
Oh he is a sad dog, didn’t last a day.
Twitch calls them bans even when they are suspensions for some reason.
I mean come on, that was already pretty hollow.
I don’t want to get all “muh constitution” but if the president can just unilaterally decide to eliminate federal departments there really isn’t a constitution at that point is there? Like that’s so far out of bounds of what’s legal in any way. Looks like it’s just going to happen?
I also don’t understand any of the reporting or statements regarding being denied access to the buildings either. Every report I have read (and I have gone intentionally searching for this) has said that they were told no. It does not specify who told them no, the democrats are not specifying who is telling them no. The closest I have been able to find is an article The Hill saying the dems were stopped by “security forces”. WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE? Is anyone going to ask who the fuck they are working for or under whose authority? What answer could they possibly give you that would be acceptable to pack up and leave?
If I drop you off at a gas station and 20 seconds later you came back and said “they said no.” I would be like "who said no? What did they say? And you just keep repeating “they said no” I would get actually pissed at you! Yet that’s what were getting for some reason?
There was this story in the guardian
- “They apparently just sort of walked past security and said: ‘Get out of my way,’ and they’re looking for access for the IT systems, as they have in other agencies,” said Andrew Rosenberg, a former Noaa official who is now a fellow at the University of New Hampshire. “They will have access to the entire computer system, a lot of which is confidential information.”
What is even going on here?!?! If you walked into where I work and were like “hey were taking over?” I would be like “who the fuck are you? what the hell is going on?”. Even if I don’t give a shit about my job I’m not just going to leave my post because some goofball told me to. Could I actually just walk into any federal building and say I’m with doge and they just let me in? Because that’s legitimately what it feels like here!
So we have people we know nothing about, closing down federal office buildings, locking everyone out and nobody cares who is doing that? Do they have names? Are they security for the agency? Who gave them the orders? Are they just random people? I feel like these are kind of important questions that are being completely glossed over!
Yeah that tracks, I was looking at some of the setups people were using really early on when it first was released and the hardware wasn’t too crazy (this is relative of course). It’s a pretty big stretch to find a reason to homebrew it yourself, but if you are any company in this space the path just became really clear. I don’t actually think there is a ton of money in this space, because I don’t think there are many problems it’s actually good at solving. However even in that very narrow window of space where you can make money now anyone can play. Value proposition of all the large companies basically went to zero. The data they have for training they have is still valuable, but that was valuable without AI in the first place.
This island one is really funny.
I was just reading this article about it

The ending is so funny because it tells you what is going to happen without telling you.
The president-elect tried to ban the app during his first administration.
But his rhetoric on TikTok began to turn after he met in February with billionaire Jeff Yass, a Republican megadonor and a major investor in Bytedance.
Yass’ trading firm, Susquehanna International Group, owns a 15% stake in ByteDance while Yass maintains a 7% stake in the company, equating to about $21 billion, NBC and CNBC reported in March. That month it was also reported that Yass was a part owner of the business that merged with the parent company of Trump’s Truth Social.
I think expecting China to back the DPRK if they attacked South Korea is some real fantasy land stuff.

“We are not going to fall for a provocation of which country is better,” she said, adding that her country was increasingly being used as a political foil.
“Mexico should not be used as part of [Canadian] electoral campaigns,” she said.
Sheinbaum then dug deeper, adding that Canada “could only wish they had the cultural riches Mexico has”, pointing out her country has civilizations dating back thousands of years.
“Fuck off puck sucker” Mexico style.
I have to admit the sentiment regarding the dead CEO was way more extreme than I expected, and I don’t mean that in a bad. Just a little of the standard liberal scolding, but largely unanimous that he had it coming. Hope that pressure point keeps getting pushed on.
If he does this lol, this cooks EVERYTHING. The China stuff was already going to be bad, but a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada cooks so many US companies. Every car, home, appliance becomes 25% more expensive, overnight. If it happens, straight up China W. They don’t have to do anything.
Yeah I agree, I don’t think Trump has a huge problem with NK. It’s like one of his few not terrible things actually.
The Nvidia party is not going to last forever, that fact that some people are still trying to ride the wave is actually wild to me. They got extremely lucky with cypto, covid and AI all dropping around the same time, but it’s pretty easy to see where that is headed.
I’m at least feeling pretty good that the United States position globally probably going to be degrading pretty quickly. If Trump really goes in the paint on China, he could make it a lot worse really quick.
Sick. Dope. Viva Mexico. Morena and Amlo haven’t been perfect, but they have moved so far in the right direction and Sheinbaum is looking pretty good so far.
He can escape, but he will have substantially less money on paper. I’ll take that.
