It also doesn’t make sense. To make Trump angry all you need to do is tell the truth. Just state facts and he’ll be tweeting up shitstorm at 3am.

AI as auto complete is exactly what I was thinking.

I’ve seen lots of cases where AI appears as an auto complete suggestion and I can just hit <TAB> and it finishes the current line. It’s essentially filling in the boilerplate text. Heck in some cases it isn’t even right, but it’s close enough that I can change a few values.

I also want to point out that this isn’t particularly new technology. This existed before AI. It has perhaps expanded more, but it isn’t a revolutionary improvement, it’s an incremental one. So when we talk about usefulness, I think it is actually more useful.

Now if it could do all the magic planning and thinking, that would be more useful, but we’re not there yet.

I wonder if having a robots.txt file that said to ignore the file/path would help.

I’m assuming a bad bot would ignore the robots.txt file. So you could argue that you put up a clear sign and they chose to ignore it.

A EB-5 visa costs ~1 million dollars and has been available since the 1990s. So anyone who wanted one has had plenty of time to get one.

The new “gold card” intends to replace the existing program.

Increasing the cost from 1 to 5 million sounds like it would decrease the number of applicants, not increase them. I suspect part of this change will be loosening the requirements to justify the increased cost.

I’ll be honest I assume it’s some parliamentary specifics. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a filibuster to me. Allegedly it isn’t, but AFAIK, it is. It’s what I expect one to look like. It behaves like one. So it is.

Technically it isn’t a filibuster,

Depending on how long he is able to go, he could disrupt Senate business on Tuesday, though his speech technically isn’t a filibuster — the chamber is currently in a limited period of debate time for Matthew Whitaker’s nomination as ambassador to NATO.

Per https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/03/31/congress/cory-booker-talk-a-thon-00262482

It just behaves as you would expect a filibuster to behave. The standard no-show threatening is still a thing you can do.

I would agree the cats out of the bag, so there may not be anything that can be done. The keys aren’t going to those who can afford a server farm, the door is wide open for anyone with a computer.

The interesting follow up to this is what Disney does to a model trained on their films. Sure lawyers, but how much will they actually be able to do?

Basically, yes.

If I were an alien and you walked up to me and said, “Good Morning”, and I looked around and everyone else said “Good Morning”, I would respond with "Good Morning ". I don’t know what is “Good” or “Morning”, but I can pretend I do with the correct response.

In this example “Grok” has no context on what is going on in the background. Musk may have done nothing. Musk may have altered the data sets heavily. However the most popular response, based on what everyone else is saying, is that he did modify the data. So now it looks like he did, because that’s what everyone else said.

This is why these tools have issues with facts. If 1 + 1 = 3, and everyone says that 1 + 1 = 3, then it assumes 1 + 1 = 3.

This article leaves out the best part!

After ignoring the UK reporter MTG turns to an American reporter who says, “I’m an American, and I would like to hear your answer to her question.”

Just trusting them to pay you out of their own pocket?

Assuming US, it actually depends on the state (may be all states, but I can only speak of those I’ve lived in). The law is that the money must go into a separate interest bearing account and that is the money that is to be returned. So the money isn’t supposed be their own pocket.

Also the source is “one user”.

but one user asked their Grandfather – who only get their news from Facebook – what was going on, and the relative echoed conspiracies about moon creatures attacking with brainwaves.

That’s the same level of journalism going on here.

Really hoping for real API access and third-party apps.

I mean that’s the only way it will have any success. I don’t expect it to happen, but that’s historically how any of these sites have grown and flourished.

It would be funny if Digg was able to successfully reboot and take users away from Reddit, however I don’t expect it to actually happen.

Also, stating the obvious, time would be better spent improving Lemmy.

The first step is buying devices from reputable vendors and trustworthy resellers to minimize the likelihood of malware being pre-loaded from the factory or while in transit.

Given the size I suspect this is also a common attack vector.

Also,

Android TV devices should have their remote access features disabled if not needed, while taking them offline when not used is also an effective strategy.

Is this a thing? Why would a TV have remote access features?

Sorry, Fort Knox is empty.

I mean what they can do I’ve said. What I expect is a lot more damage from the Trump administration. Democrats are generally on board with reigning the administration in and/or stopping it, depending on what happens.

Unfortunately the majority for most things sit with Republicans, so it will be slow getting them to respond to Trump. I expect a few Republicans will chime in from time to time, might help stop a few things. Of course Congress lacks the resources to enforce things, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens there.

Eventually Trump is going to go too far. I would argue he already has, but specifically he’s going to go too far for Republicans. The speaker, Johnson, is the one to watch. I think McConnell still has some sway, but he’s also clearly very ill physically. Actually Republicans that are usually quiet are probably the ones to watch first.

Yes, what congress WILL do versus what they SHOULD do are different things.

If you look at things like the recent Gaza statements by Trump I think it’s clear Trump is going to continuously step over the line and others will need to walk it back. Eventually that someone will be congress, I just hope it’s sooner rather than later, although I fear it will be later rather than sooner.

What do you propose that they do?

Impeach and remove Trump. Yes, a Vance administration might do the same things but Congress would make it clear they’re not willing to allow such bullshit.

Or subpoena Musk and others, which I know recently failed a vote to do exactly that.

Congress CAN do a lot of things, they were designed to be a powerful pillar of government. They have ceded much of that power through inaction over the years but they can take it back.

And reading an article from TechCrunch,

“The social network has a Twitter-like user interface with algorithmic choice, a federated design and community-specific moderation.”

“Is Bluesky decentralized? Yes. Bluesky’s team is developing the decentralized AT Protocol, which Bluesky was built atop.”

“However, the launch of federation will make it work more similarly to Mastodon in that users can pick and choose which servers to join and move their accounts around at will.”

So it definitely is pitching that is it decentralized and federated. Maybe the argument is that it “will be”, but at the moment it is not and at the moment it does not look like it will be an actual possibility.

Now people leaving Twitter is great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s possibly just kicking the can down the road. In a few years we’ll likely have articles complaining about missing “Old Bluesky” and how “new Bluesky” has the exact same problems that “Old Twitter” had.

Oh they’ll be replaced, with “private” workers supplied by Musk, etc.

The private “workers” will be AI or cheaply paid foreign workers.

They will be incapable of doing the job, not because they are incompetent, but because they were the lowest bid and lied.

After 2+ years of doing nothing they’ll need to be replaced by more workers. The government can’t function without them, so we’ll hire twice as many, still paying less than the average American and pocketing the remainder.

After 4+ years, assuming the administration leaves, they’ll all be fired by the new administration and Americans will be brought in. They’ll have to do 4+ years worth of backlog plus the current job. After these 4 years they be deemed as incompetent and we’ll start the whole cycle over again.

If it helps this is just the beginning, it’s going to get worse.

Wait…
