I'm guessing they did not identify "grifting" as one of the strategies

Data center construction not operation. Big difference and not an insignificant omission

They don’t connect their homes to the power grid, but ChatGPT is fine.

Perfectly logical

“The Department will receive a minority, non-controlling equity stake in each company as a condition for receiving the funds to enhance the return for the U.S. taxpayer.”

Thus creating even more perverse incentives for preferential treatment.

The US government should not own stocks.

Or it avoided internal sabotage - no way to know

It would be more effective to unionize the AIs

Wealth != income

This amendment creates a new power that is very destructive

Note that this vote also has to alter the state constitution to permit this kind of tax

If passed it will not be a “one-time” event, it will be a long-term disaster

Fabulous

It’s logical if you regard people as cattle

Alcohol consumption increased and stronger beverages became more popular but sure it was effect and reasonable yeah

I cannot fathom the twists of logic necessary to justify such a specific and arbitrary prohibition

Black page with empty image borders on safari, also immediate sign in requirement is off-putting

Looks like compelled speech to me, both for the operating system creator and the users. I do not believe that “interstate commerce” powers negate the first amendment.

I love the Voltron silhouette in the background holding hands with GI Joe

And thus so is my Paramount subscription

The divergence is the casual way this administration commits war crimes in public

Sorry, LOC remains a useless metric

40/40 - nailed it (not actually German though)

“The category isn't German or autistic — it's people for whom the gap between how things are and how they ought to be is not an abstraction but a constant, low-grade irritation.”

Chances are good that dice are as old as we are

Why does it matter? Changes nothing except doxxing someone

How is “they do not have this authority” misinformation?

Waffle House has security cameras so why bother with interviews?

Grounds for impeachment right there

NO, DO NOT COMPLY WITH FORCED SPEECH

Might seem harmless now but it won’t next time, and you will have already capitulated

4 years ago, and paywalled

unfortunately the article does not mention who is responsible for the alleged misinformation campaign

which is the logical next legislative step

that is definitely overboard :(

There’s nothing “overboard” about pushing back on unnecessary political meddling. The operating system does not need to know your date of birth (or identity! Looking at you Micro$oft) in order to manage your hardware and software. The need to know is zero, and given the 1st Amendment I question that any political entity has the legitimate authority to compel one to alter software, open source or otherwise.
