The article is bullshit shrouded in turboencabulator-speak. He's trying to roll the same Sisyphian boulder that crushed the computational linguists, thinking that AI makes it different this time. Conveniently he also waived any attempt

Yep. And fool you are, you click on the "agree" button even when the success and reputation of your business relies on it.

If you only listen to think tanks and professors that affirm your preconceptions then you're not educating yourself at all. Liberals fall into the same trap of denying genocides when they demand that Noam Chomsky's memoirs be the

The Matrix is certainly the confounding variable here. It's hard to square the liberal promotion of gun control with how badass the Wachowski sisters made it look. Society may never figure that one out.

Look - if you earnestly believe this, then you are racist. I harbor no love for the Russian Federation, and am not blind to "Russian lawlessness" that pervades in accounts of their governance. Neither of those are rational justifi

"The West" literally isn't allowed to circulate credible reporting on Gaza because Israel has banned their journalists from documenting it. No wonder they lost social media, they can't even win traditional media.

I empathize with the Russian people in the same way I empathize with Indians forced to get their news from Modi. They are good people, fed a falsified narrative that preys on their insecurities more than it helps them. Putin "won"

We gave Pakistan and Iran a few billion dollars in military aid a while back. What we got in return was a Bangladesh genocide and an Islamic revolution. Lesson learned: arms sales can be used to ideologically justify butchering civilians if

It's a bit reminiscent of the Bangladesh genocide by Pakistan, to whom the United States also sold weapons and also did nothing to stop hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties.

Apparently a good start is promising to build $25,000 EVs, raising capital and tax subsidies stock value, and then bailing on the promise entirely. You might even be able to afford two or three submarines with that kind of money.
