If they were posting CP it wouldn’t be Turkey calling for a banning, it would be forwarded quietly by the company to local law enforcement.

Absolutely not. Bankruptcy proceedings get your financial records gone over with a fine tooth comb. You need to keep your cover business healthy within reason to fly under the radar. You didn’t see the mob casinos going bankrupt.

That wouldn’t really do much for China. The reason the tariffs hurt us is that we sent all our manufacturing to them (along with a few other countries). So the tariffs only make our stuff cost more. Footing the bill like that would just weaken China’s position.

I’m pretty sure the immediate goal is to make it so that real content and AI content have the same legal status. Their ultimate end game is likely to create new, more draconian IP law that will let them own the AI content. Possibly even give preference to AI created content.

I don’t like it, though.

I guess I’ll just skip this generation like with the WiiU.

He had some things like that his first term too. I’m pretty sure he does just to piss China off. He’s not really interested in helping Taiwan.

That was the style 80 years ago.

Okay, it’s not that bad, but it’s also not the kind and peaceful utopia people in this thread are trying to make it out to be.

Homes as an investment is what should be illegal. If you want to invest in real estate it should be commercial only.

Brain got the excellent speaking voice.

It’s interesting. LLM AI made by researchers have a tendency to turn racist. It seems ones made by racists tend to the opposite.

It was a pretty overused insult for a while. Something we have to deal with now that the actual nazis are pushing themselves forward.

Because frankly, the leak is more shocking than the bombing. I have no knowledge of any regime throughout history that has done anything close to that level of incompetence.

Well, it’s Florida. These kids will be washing dishes and cleaning rooms at resorts until the oranges are ready to pick. Try to go underground there you’ll just hit the ocean.

Freight trains have been using a diesel generator to directly provide energy to electric motors on each wheel for a long time now. The only difference to car hybrids is the train doesn’t use a battery in between.

We’ve had those for freight trains for decades now. That is also the model for many hybrid vehicles. They are well proven to be more efficient. Also, they don’t need to use the trunk, there’s a perfectly good space available where the less efficient engine used to be.

DeSantis was supposed to be the next Trump. He’s way too butthurt to help out like that.

At this point it’s more of an overly optimistic look to our future.

If it’s meant to be US politics, they’re comparing the far right to the near right. Our left is carefully contained so it can’t affect anything.
