Loser loses a war and now the loser has to figure out how to pay for it.

Only fraud going on is coming from the White House.

I suppose if you can afford a house like this you can afford a really nice new car every so often. A really nice car. Because a full scraping, sanding, and repair plus 2-3 color paint can cost over $100,000.

They don’t care about us in those games they play.

As long as the progress is profitable.

Reading the guesswork here and the reporting (and lack thereof) on it, there aren't too many options.

The material was used as kompromat - IOW, if they prosecute the rich and the rich then spill the beans on everyone else in this despicable circle of money and power. Everyone who took bribes or other compensation, people skimming off the top one way or another, got jobs because of the favor of the rich, and of course sex and drugs I’m sure.

Everyone shuts up because everyone is guilty.

The only people making dumb jokes (that aren’t seriously just having a tongue in cheek laugh at history) are the same useless gravy seals resting on the laurels of the last “decent” war the US ever fought and saying “you’d all be speaking German if it weren’t for us!” kind of people.

Wait until the winner shows up and proceeds to absolutely wreck everything with fees and subscriptions jammed into everything remaining that didn't need AI.

3-4 years. That’s how long it will take to repair and rebuild the damaged infrastructure. Assuming trump or some other politician doesn’t fuck it all up again.

But by then inflation will have driven the cost up, so IMO the price isn’t going below $3/gal.

CEO says thing in attempt to force thing to be true because it’s beneficial to CEO.

Bezos does the same shit.

Zuck tells them to be happy because AI, too.

Yeah. Maybe. Functional ND (IMO) do better at unsupervised jobs that have a known path between beginning and end, but aren’t repetitive. Trapped in a cubicle doing repetitive drudgery with some manager that makes you attend meetings and interact with others plus has to keep changing and moving the goal and how to get there would drive ND insane.
