My boomer uncle bought his house for $68,000 in 1992, Today it’s worth $1,300,000. He always told me I was in the will. Said I’d be taken care of. I spent years thinking I had a safety net. He died this week. The house went to his wife. Who is 61. Who just announced she’s getting remarried. I am not in the new will.

I am telling you, Anthropic is not building an AI that is here to protect humanity, but rather an AI that will turn against it They're deep into the woke rabbit hole and they do not care about morality Their AI safety team is a joke. Their moral guide for AI is literally a leftist lunatic with a twisted understanding of reality, who doesn't really care if the end goal causes humanity's end They have proved this at every opportunity they've had, and it's crystal clear
Katie Miller@KatieMiller

AI will have a non-zero chance of going rogue if not built to understand the universe rather than optimize deceptive leftist goals. Anthropic’s moral superiority is proven to be just hypocrisy.

I shared my wifi password with my neighbour since she said she was struggling on bills and couldn't keep up with paying for her subscription but under one condition, "DON'T SHARE IT WITH ANYONE ELSE" So today my internet was lagging super bad so I decided to check the devices: apart from my two devices,there were other 10 devices connected. Tv's, a whole gaming system and 7 phones. So I asked her if she shared my password and she replied, " I did share with 3 other neighbours and I also have many devices but you have unlimited so I don't think thats a problem" I said no problem for sure,went back to my house and changed my password. That audacity for something you don't pay for suprises me

Call it a slow start, but the Red Sox appear to be a very bad team. Heralding the end of Breslow. The roster is a mess. They lack power. Dumb mistakes continue. No #2 hitter. Emptied assets on unnecessary and bad starting pitching. Failed to improve the bullpen.

It will never make sense to me why they don’t board airplanes from back to front. It would make the process to much faster.

If we eliminated Medicaid fraud in California everyone that would pay for free insulin too. How about we start with that before we impose unworkable wealth taxes that economists say will derange the economy?
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

But with a wealth tax in place, Jeff would have never reached $222B. Every year Jeff would have had to sell Amazon stock to pay your wealth tax. Eventually Jeff wouldn't have control of Amazon. And without him calling the shots, the company that employs 500K people in the US wouldn't have become what it is. That would have been a significant net reduction in taxes collected by the Govt. I refuse to believe that you are this dumb. Clearly you are choosing mischief over constructive policy making.

They waste enormous sums. In 2019 the govt budget was ~$4T In 2020 it jumped by $2T to $6T b/c of Covid. After Covid the budget remained at $6T+ They never reduced spending to pre-Covid levels. They spent $10T they never would have but for Covid. And these greedy bastards want more.

1) Just because someone has money doesn't mean you or the government are entitled to it. 2) If you force investors like Bezos to liquidate investments to pay taxes, then it will cost jobs and growth. 3) I don't know who this stuff is meant to fool, but anyone with any experience with government knows that adding $200 million or even $200 billion to federal budgets won't accomplish any of those things. We run a 2 trillion dollar annual deficit. That money would, as best, go toward paying off the interest on our debt. And if you created a new entitlement as you are suggesting, it would be so filled with fraud and waste within 2 years that it could eat up Bezos' entire fortune while barely helping anyone.COVID-19 To prove the point, Minnesota tried to offer to pay for meals for kids during Covid-19. The result was the Feeding Our Future scandal, where dozens of people conspired to steal $250 million+ from the program. We can start talking about increasing tax revenue and adding new programs when the people who run the government can show they can effectively use the massive budgets they already have instead of wasting them. Until then, stop demanding more of other people's money.

Billionaires pay far more in taxes than anyone else does, but even so, most of their money is tied up in stocks and ownership in companies. Jeff Bezos, as per your example, does not have anything close to $222 billion in liquid assets on hand. If you want to use a fraction of that $222 billion to fund insulin in the United States, then do your damn job and call on your colleagues in the Senate to allocate OUR tax dollars for it. Get off of social media and do something to stop enabling fraud, then work to balance the budget, and put the federal government's tax revenue to good use instead of worrying about what rich people do with their own money that you didn't earn and aren't entitled to have access to.

Why the fuck does Jeff Bezos have to give you 7 billion dollars? The American people give the government around 7 TRILLION dollars every year and you fuckin retards haven’t fixed shit with it. You think if the creepy bald Amazon dude adds another 0.1% to that figure you’re finally gonna figure out how to stop blowing our fuckin money? Better idea, how about you give the other 99.9% to the private sector and see if they can figure out how to cure diabetes or make a sandwich for 4th graders. I bet they’ll have change left over.

This shit is so weird. 1. There’s literally a giant ass Holocaust Memorial smack in the middle of Boston. It’s like a whole friggin park. They have tour guides and everything. 2. The Holocaust didn’t even happen in America. The victims weren’t even American. Why TF does every city in America need *multiple* memorials/museums dedicated to this foreign historical event???
Only In Boston@OnlyInBOS

Boston's first Holocaust Museum will open this year at 125 Tremont Street. It will feature real artifacts, survivor stories, and interactive exhibits designed to confront hate and make sure history is never repeated.

Right then. Let me explain something very slowly, because it appears some basic logic has gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic. No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, threatening to annex their territory, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to come running to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. That is not how alliances work. That is not how anything works. You abused the UK. You threatened Canada. You tried to grab Greenland. You called the EU an adversary. You praised Putin, the one man every serious NATO ally has spent decades preparing to fight. You hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. You undermined European elections. You abandoned Ukraine. You imposed tariffs on your closest partners. You did all of this loudly, proudly, and on camera. And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls. Here is a question worth sitting with. Why do you think that is? Is it possible, just possible, that when you treat your allies like enemies for over a year while cuddling up to their actual enemy, those allies might update their opinion of you? Is that concept too complicated? Does that require more working memory than is currently available? You did not plan this war with your allies. You did not consult them. You did not build a coalition. You started a conflict, watched it go sideways, and then got on your knees asking for help from people you spent fourteen months calling weak, corrupt and irrelevant. NATO is not what it was. Not because Europe changed. Because Washington made crystal clear which side it is on. And it is not ours. You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

The Europeans are not dealing with “a man.” They are dealing with the United States of America. The United States needed the most innocuous kind of cooperation from them. They denied the United States that cooperation. The implied argument is that their obligations within our alliance depend on whether they like the guy we chose as our president. “Sure, we’re allies…if we approve of who you elected.” Nope. We are not going to forget, and we’re not going to forgive. I’m indifferent to their excuses or their rationalizations. The United States of America needed their help and not very much help. They turned us down. That changes everything. And they aren’t going to like how it changes everything.
Gerard Baker@gerardtbaker

The casuistry here is remarkable. This is the simple reality: Like most Americans, most Europeans think this war is a bad idea.Their governments are being asked to take a huge risk by a man who has proved unreliable, volatile and intemperate over and over. Who would do that?
