Someone should notify Ossoff that there is no link to donate to his senate campaign at the link provided. I mention this since you suggested we donate a few bucks and I tried, without success. I hope this time the Democrats are not going to fall so far behind the Republicans internet-wise, like they have in the past.

This may be a rather geeky article, but it highlights what sane tech people knew: the AI world has been growing based on "free" usage. That business model ... the one that justifies its existence based on the number of users ... is getting a BIG dose of reality. All of a sudden the cost of using "AI" everywhere is becoming too high to justify its widespread usage. Meaning: if a company has to pay the actual costs of using AI, its value drops YOOGELY. All those AI-bro cheerleaders are now having to grapple with the real world and its costs.

It's like the AI merchants took a page from the game people. Offer a bit free. Then start subscription nonsense and DLCs.

Only thing is, people will pay for games because games. But they sure ain't gonna be interested in that for most other aspects of life. Should be interesting.

Are Jill and Joe Biden so hard up for money that she needs to be writing and talking about Joe's cognitive decline five months before the mid-terms?

Jen Lacks a Domesticated Bone's avatar

To be sure, I really could not care less considering *waves hand* everything. But, if we do not do anything because there is an election upcoming, we will never do anything, because there is always an election upcoming. In other words, at least it is not one month to the midterms

The conservative California community of Huntington Beach, known for banning the Pride flag from city property and fighting the state over pandemic and housing policy, could soon be represented by a gay, Democratic congressman.

Robert Garcia, an incumbent two-term Democratic LGBTQ+ congressman, immigrant and Donald Trump critic, is considered the leading contender in Tuesdayโ€™s primary race for the US House seat. Thanks to a successful restricting effort that redrew Californiaโ€™s voting maps to favor Democrats, Huntington Beach is now part of Garciaโ€™s congressional district 42.

Californiaโ€™s redistricting effort, known as Proposition 50, was overwhelmingly approved by voters in November. Trump set off a wave of new mid-decade redistricting after urging Texas to adopt changes to favor Republicans during the midterm elections. California soon followed, as have a number of other states, reshaping representation across the US.

Since 2025 Dave Min, a moderate Democratic, has represented the district that includes Huntington Beach. Conservative officials in the city have expressed frustration about the changes underway.

โ€œItโ€™s just California ugly-ass politics, and they are all about their agenda and not about the people. They donโ€™t care about the people of California one bit,โ€ Pat Burns, a Huntington Beach city councilman, told Reuters.

The Orange county city of just under 200,000 people has some 56,367 Republican voters, and 41,156 Democrats. Its city council is entirely Republican, a group that refers to itself as the โ€œMaga-nificent Sevenโ€, according to SFGate.

Lord, I did NOT sleep last night. My mind was racing about how excited I am to squeeze some more cash out of my paycheck to start paying ahead on the condo. I'm fairly certain that I can get it paid off by my 55th birthday, which would save me nearly $35K in interest. If I paid the mortgage as is, I would pay like nearly $45K in interest and HELL NO. So I'm reworking my budget so that I pay certain bills ealier than others. I love futzing with my budget.

Yeah. Trump is dismantling it so that he divert most of the cost of the dismantling of the system into the pockets of oligarchs and, of course himself.

It's all about the grift and the graft.

To be fair, not shrugging this time. Not sure why this attack is different from the 45234523 others Israel has launched against Lebanon since they started doing that again, maybe because it scuttled the peace "deal" but at least it is actually being reported.

I think people are getting real sick of Isreal/Bibi's shit. Even red hats have their "celebrities" talking about how evil Isreal is.

Jen Lacks a Domesticated Bone's avatar

To be sure, they are talking about how evil Israel is because of the (((Jews))) and how it can't POSSIBLY be Trump's fault. Without pausing to consider how really bad it makes Trump look to go about claiming some tiny middle eastern company totally controls him.

But logic and reason and, indeed, even thought, are not their strongest suits.

The utter fantasy of both his space and AI goals, the absurdity of how much money he says they can make, and the fact that his companies have only ever survived on stock manipulation and government contracts and/or subsidies should all tank the price of that IPO, if it had any connection to the actual viability of the company.
