Don’t confuse governments with private contractors.
The moment Ukraine fought back, a number of military contractor guys I know packed up for Ukraine. After years of babysitting fuck heads in the middle east, they were itching for a fight they believed in. I left the area (Okaloosa county) and they were mainly bar buddies so I don’t know how they are doing today, but I can guarantee that if those guys can make money while killing Putin’s dogs, they’ll take that deal.
I love my Nvidia Shield and my 1080ti. They are some of the best tech purchases I have ever made. That said…fuck this weirdo.
I am still pissed that the third audiobook in the Trilogy was done so poorly that it is essentially unlistenable. Especially given how well the first two were done.

Is cross posting something from a year and a half ago a thing?
There are many different tiers and types of AI users. Anyone who uses Grok might not be eligible for the death penalty in the US due to diminished capacity.

This was a Pizza Hut

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens.
Russians who oppose Putin tend to either get poisoned or fall off of buildings.
To the financial markets: “AI is allowing is to drastically cut costs by reducing redundant workforce!”
To critically important employees: “We are firing you *wink, wink* and giving you a six month severance package. In the meantime we would be happy to pay for some of your time as a transition consultant and subject matter expert, then finally hire you back after 80 days and after quarterly fiscal report.”
Imagine paying for college and using AI to skip the learning part.
I always bring up the magic of Scotch’s Magic Tape.
This tape lets most of the light through (useful for dynamic light features) while blurring the image as if out of focus or behind frosted glass. It is also mostly discrete unlike opaque tapes.
This will be a 1000 times worse “deal” than the one Obama had struck and Trump backed out of. I guarantee it.
The Firefox forks are just so damned good. Zen, Librewolf, and Waterfox are just great.
