The shooter was actually in the Ad, but it was highlighting some kind of retirement program for teachers or something, so it was just a random coincidence that he was in the front row of the class when they were shooting the ad highlighting one of his teachers.

Doesn't Silicon Valley money tend to lean pretty heavily D? I wonder if the assassination was an organized attempt and now that it has failed deals are being made illuminati

The "Bring Back Domestic Manufacturing, isolationism" stuff was very much not part of early 2000's conservative republican politics. They were hyper-liberals on economics in a way that's not credible today and this was peak war on terror. His brand of politics is much closer to Trumpism than anything from the Bush era, and I'd argue its likely to be much more appealing to a broad base of people. This is pointing the way forward for the Republicans much more than the Pence pick was. Picking up the smart parts of Trump's populism without the personal baggage. The problem is it's completely superficial because these politicians are still beholden to the same elite donor base that has made everything the way it is. If they end up in power for any length of time they'll become deeply unpopular just like the third-way.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20 yr old from Bethel Park, PA. He was wearing a gun youtube merch shirt and is a registered Republican for what its worth. Kind of looks like a lone crank honestly. Thank god it wasn't a leftist doing a adventure-time

Didn't the air force bomb a public rally and kill like 400 civilians?

Have these policies actually improved anything for the Argentine bourgeoisie? It seems like he's just shooting himself in the dick with this libertarian nonsense.

If the Krauts could invent it 80 years ago, a modern, educated nation of 33 millions souls with access to the internet can certainly make it happen. They also have years of experience at this point and help from Iran (which is certainly overstated). The chauvinism that they must be Iranian missiles is infuriating to me. These sorts of capabilities are important to Ansar'Allah and they're absolutely capable of manufacturing these. Why wouldn't they? They're human fucking beings with brains and educations. They're not animals.

That's the key here. You'll never be able to get the smart human who knows what's going on out of the loop, at least not with LLM-based 'AI', but it will be a very useful tool. Rather than a senior developer reading and fixing the code of half a dozen juniors, he'll write half a dozen AI prompts and then fix the code they inevitably screw up. This won't work for low-level or performant code, but for most of what people are working on it will work well enough. All the people learning to code now are fucked, but senior people with experience should be ok. The problem will come when they all retire in 20-30 years and software has been a dead-end job no one wants to get into for a generation.

No one wants to pay any attention to it and no one cares. I'd say that's pretty great honestly.
