Sam Altman: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

Meaning: We stole all your knowledge , writing, and art, and now we’re gonna put a meter on it and sell it back to you. You’re welcome.”

Honda just gave up trying to make this car in the US.

EVs are made of steel, aluminum, and copper. If Honda ran a factory in the US, hired US workers, paid US taxes, and built the cars here? They'd pay 50% tariff on those raw materials.🤦🏿‍♂️

But if they made cars in Japan, then imported to US? 15%.
🙂🙃

Honda is struggling to compete anyway. Why would they make that more difficult for themselves by building the cars in the US?

How are these policies "bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US?"

And that's before you even get into labor shortages created by racist immigration policies.

@cstross Remember when we thought Bush was the dumbest man alive? Boy, I miss those days.

My Google Calendar had the following appointment scheduled for March 15: "EARLY GIRLS ONLY, NO BETTER BOYS!"

I struggled for a good 30 seconds trying to understand what this was about, imagining all sorts of inappropriate possibilities.

Then it dawned on me. It's message to myself that I added last year about planting tomatoes in my garden this Spring.

Shingrix not only prevents shingles most of the time, but all of the most recent studies show it strongly reduces the chance of getting dementia, which is an excellent free gift from the scientists to the public. So go out & make sure you get vaxxed

Could a vaccine prevent dementia? Shingles shot data only getting stronger.

Latest data hints that benefits seen so far could be underestimates.

MDOT has signed a deal with the Customs and Border Protection approving placement of automatic license plate readers on state land. CBP can then call local law enforcement to make arrests on CBP’s behalf.

This is a disaster for immigrant rights and an invasion of everyone’s privacy.

You can call MDOT at 517-241-2400 to tell them you oppose this. I just did, and the person who answered said they are being inundated with calls on this issue.

Sophie Scholl, a 22-year-old White Rose (Weisse Rose) activist at Munich University, was executed after being convicted of urging students to rise up and overthrow the Nazi government.

There are many memorials in Bavaria and Germany to Sophie and her group, the White Rose, but little is known outside of Germany. They were medical students who organized nonviolent resistance to Hitler, and were arrested for printing and distributing anti-Nazi flyers.

Sophie, her brother Hans, a former member of Hitler Youth who started White Rose, and Christof Probst, the three young people in the photo, were executed. Few White Rose members survived the war which is why the story is not well known.

The ICE invasion has served a sinister goal: it has rendered whole swaths of our community invisible. All the people hiding at home, all the businesses closed (temporarily…we hope), they’ve disappeared from the public face of our city.

Right now, Minneapolis •looks• a lot whiter than it is.

But those people in hiding •are• here. We the helpers are putting ourselves on the line because we •want• them here. They are our neighbors. They are our community.

Please don’t let ICE erase them from public life. Hear their voices.

It's cheaper to buy an AR-15 rifle than 64GB of DDR5 RAM.
