The funniest thing is when someone posts an interesting new style on one of the reddit AI slop subs and everyone asks what prompt was used to achieve it but the poster refuses to share because they're so protective over it.

Kinda surprised he gave himself up willingly. The meticulously planned shootings usually end in suicide as though it was the intended conclusion- the Lewiston and Las Vegas shootings come to mind. But this one had specific high profile targets so I guess it's more of an assassination than a spree or mass killing.

Reminds me more of the Summer of '69, of which the Summer of Floyd was its second coming.

I initially thought this too, but there's no way in hell Trump would agree to play along to the Epstein accusation. Even if it's already an open secret, he hates the optics of it.

Benji is the ultimate scapegoat for libs to wag their fingers at genocide without actually condemning the genocidal state behind it.

Former addict here with years of heroin use (luckily quit before fent took over) and I have to agree. I've only ever had fentanyl in the hospital post surgery and it was a stronger painkiller than heroin but noticeably less euphoric. But fent is so cheap to produce illicitly I can see why it took over. There is one opiate that I would place above heroin and that is oxymorphone/Numorphan. I had it after hand surgery and it was the most intense and smoothest opiate high I've ever had. I always wondered why there's no black market for it while hydromorphone/dilaudid was somewhat common back in the day.

These videos look really low effort and easy to replicate but they're actually pretty difficult to do well. Bordenaro's vids are all around 20 minutes long with no edits so he's gotta ramble on about one topic nonstop the whole time. And he has no notes or co-hosts/guests to interact with. I guess it gets easier with practice like anything else but keeping such a large audience with such a simple formula is challenging if you aren't especially charismatic or hot.

The US is probably the outlier here with too few regional accents given the vast land mass. I would attribute it to the population growing alongside the successive innovations of rail, radio and television so that regional dialects blended into each other.

I'm out of touch with THE YOUTH and I have no idea why you youngins use 😭 to convey any and every emotion possible.

I thought The Last Samurai was mostly forgettable but I recently watched the Shogun remake and have to admit I was impressed. Stunningly gorgeous cinematography and masterful acting by everyone in the cast. They took pains to reduce the Eurocentricism from the source material, but the protagonist is still a white dude so there is some lingering White Saviorness to it. But he's mostly portrayed as a lovable buffoon and witness to the historical events unfolding around him rather than its impetus. Sanada and Sawai are the real stars here.

 
 

Though it does China dirty calling it the EU.

 

Who is tuning in to Amazon to watch lib coverage of the election that CNN and MSNBC already do much better? I watched a few minutes of this out of curiosity and it's a low budget shitshow with shoddy production and camera work. And Brian Williams? Did I miss his redemption arc? Wasn't he banished from NBC for being the George Santos of network news? Is this all Jeff Bezos could afford?

There is no escape. We are all trapped here together.

 

An executive in an American military contractor that is providing data analytics to the IDF joking about war crimes. This attack could not have been planned and executed so successfully without Palantir's services and they are gleefully celebrating their involvement without explicitly saying so.

Whatever intern came up with this deserves a raise.

 

This AI bubble is rapidly accelerating and it will take the entire market (and global economy) down with it. And while Sam Altman didn't singlehandedly ignite the new silicon arms race, OpenAI (and ChatGPT) did usher in the era we are now living in.

Much was said about Nvidia overtaking Microsoft today to become the world's most valuable company, but take a look at the top 3:

They are ALL beneficiaries of partnerships with OpenAI. Microsoft added a trillion dollars of market cap since partnering with them last year and Apple hit new all time highs after their announcement that ChatGPT will power "Apple Intelligence". And Nvidia? Well, they were just a $300 billion dollar video game card maker 5 years ago and now they are the biggest company on earth because their cards train AI models.

I'm just flabbergasted at how quickly and thoroughly the promises made by one small startup has become the economic backbone of the entire stock market. The bubble popping for this hype cycle will be one for the ages.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called on the European Union to collaborate with the United States in addressing the surge of Chinese green-tech exports, warning that the influx threatens global manufacturing sectors.

Last week, the US administration announced tariffs of 25 percent on steel and aluminum, 50 percent on semiconductors, 100 percent on electric vehicles, and 50 percent on solar panels.

Speaking in Germany this Tuesday, Yellen emphasized the need for a united response to China’s manufacturing dominance to protect industries worldwide, as initially reported by FT.

“China’s industrial policy may seem remote as we sit here in this room, but if we do not respond strategically and in a united way, the viability of businesses in both our countries and around the world could be at risk,” Yellen told FT at the Frankfurt School.

In a speech on Tuesday, Yellen defended the Biden administration’s tariff hikes including a 400 percent increase on China electric vehicles. “The tariff increases are strategic and targeted steps,” she stated. This follows the White House’s tariff adjustments aimed at safeguarding U.S. industry, especially in key electoral states.

In a post on the social media platform X, Joe Biden said that “China is determined to dominate these industries” while enhancing that he is “determined to ensure America leads the world in them”.
