Epstein’s favorite book was apparently Lolita. That book used the word “gamine.” It’s actually eerily fitting that if Trump and Epstein’s secret was pedophilia, that that’s exactly what “enigma” means.
Trump isn’t smart but he can parrot back something that sounds smart from someone else.
The line “enigmas never age” remains too strange. The whole card feels built around that line.
The anagram enigmas = gamines is the only theory that fits. It’s just the kind of basic show of intelligence a slightly less<dementiaed Trump would think is the height of wit.
How long ago? Because it looks the MBAs are in charge now.
Sorry, I thought the joke was implicit in your question, but the analog to “Lemmites” is “Piefites” which I think is just fine because say it out loud.
This is pretty much a Black Mirror episode or Ted Chiang short story.
I could imagine a plausible dystopian future in which “AI agents” are commonplace and so dating apps are basically one person’s AI talking to another person’s AI and that is the “getting to know you” phase.
And once the AIs respectively decide they are right for each other, then the people just follow along, because the AI agents are making all the decisions otherwise for them as well.
This was meant to be a snarky comment that some people prefer seeing the sausage. But actually, that’s a reasonable benefit as well for romancing your local LLM, since many people would like the, er, benefits of a non-corporate-restricted model.
You may think the kid is a pupil and it’s a contradiction he wasn’t replaced by AI, but he’s actually the school superintendent.
Or more specifically, we are ashamed when we can’t afford things we need. We are saturated by right-wing propaganda that says if you don’t succeed, it’s your fault. So, like abuse victims, we internalize the shame of what is done to us.
It’s a message tailored so we don’t question the rich, and as an added benefit to them, trains the poor to not seek government systemic solutions to the inequality that creates their poverty.
Not sure I understand your NPR comment. Distrust among Dem/Lean Dem is 3%, the lowest level tied with The Atlantic and Axios (for some reason). Affirmative trust among Dem/Lean Dem is 47%, which isn’t the highest but clearly in a very trusted category.
Sure, as an absolute rust number 47% may seem low, but the distrust number is the more important one, and in general there’s less affirmative trust than expected across the board for generally reliable news sources.
That’s literally what I wanted you to feel!
Missed that - hope I have a good lawyer.
It’s going to be a hard life for a lot of innocent boys after their parents effectively tattooed “punch me, I’m a douchebag” on them.
Edit: Clarified “innocent,” obviously the parents are the issue.
Having a girl in a red state? You are legally required to end it in “lynn,” “leigh,” “ly” or “ley”.
For reference, Rockefeller was worth $1.4 billion in 1937 dollars on his death. That is the equivalent of $31.36 billion today. The richest person, Elon Musk, is currently worth $400 billion, or nearly 13 Rockefellers.
Nothing humanity has ever seen really compares, unless you’re looking at literal kings literally enslaving and literally extracting all value from an entire population, and even then the scale will be far lower given population growth. We are in the oligarch golden age, and if we’re lucky and we don’t stay here, people will look back at this moment, and not the robber baron era, as the historical comparator for grotesque wealth accumulation.
I think of this moment probably once a month and I don’t know how to make it stop.
I really only notice that for your tongue.
Yes, I opt out. The point of the scan is to (1) build a thorough database (although DOGE probably already did that, we just haven’t found out yet), and (2) to accustom you to your identity not belonging to you.
The second point is the real point of opting out - as soon as nearly nobody opts out, and they’ve made headway on a database, it will no longer be optional. Opting out in that sense is the only vote you’re going to get to cast against it.
I deduce that the one nerbal has now become a priceless commodity since the last person using currency now has cornered the nerbal market.
That’s pretty impressive that they show it from the 2nd grader blob sketches to the finished animation.
This really does look like a signal to where the future workflows will be, because careful key-framing addresses a lot of artificiality inherent in AI video.
