Idk, they got all of Cursor's data, they could be finally cooking up a good coding model. They can poach or acquire talent, and they have plenty of hardware and data now.

Fascinating. A glimpse into the mathematics of life and living tissue. A toy example like this might herald self-healing machines, in the same way that the first perceptrons heralded Fable and nude deepfakes.

As someone trying to hire juniors the danger is this: they all just depend on AI now and don't think for themselves or add anything to it. And I have to tell them, if you just pass through my instructions to an AI you're worth $20/month. You're not even checking the responses. Some take this to heart, some don't. In other words it takes more maturity to realize how to be valuable in the AI world, since education trains people to complete rote tasks and they have to break that mindset to be valuable now.

Isn't it the opposite? He gambled with other people's money and lost big. This is criminal because he won, he kept everything, if he failed, everyone else loses.

This administration seems especially compromised, servile and obsequious. But you're right, both sides of the aisle have been successfully targeted for years. Both sides really don't want the unredacted files to come to light, but Trump least of all.

If I were to say:

'I believe whites need to hold all authority in the United States, and must have a permanent demographic majority (for practical reasons, of course)'

then you might call me a white supremacist. I might reply:

'I'm not a supremacist, we must secure self-determination in order to secure the future of our people.'

You would gently remind me that this is exactly what a supremacist is.

So yes, please, no double standards. Also, the rest of the Middle East is just as bad, no arguments there, but it's beside the point.

Think about what you're saying. Zionism the idea that a particular ethnic group (the Jews) will have the authority to determine what happens in their country (Israel). That is a textbook case of ethnic supremacism. And that's not even mentioning the violent expulsion of the Arabs that this de facto entailed.

Hi! I'm sure this is very cool, but want to know what this does before I try it. I typed in the chat: what does this do? Will you build me an agent behind a phone number I can chat with? And it tried to open up iMessage which I denied because IDK in the first place what this is.

None of these things are the most likely reason. The national security establishment doesn't want a Chinese-allied socialist state with a regime perceived to be hostile in South America, especially if its resource-rich. But the timing is very convenient for burying the Epstein stuff.

Scaremongering about the PRC was just the public facing justification for the ban bill. Its not like they can just come out and say "The Israelis have me on tape violating children and so I need to pass this bill to let them take over the biggest social media platform they don't control already so they can face less criticism for their genocide".
