Kamala Harris Book Tour Launch Interrupted by Protests

This video discusses the protests that occurred during Kamala Harris's book tour launch event and analyzes her response to the pro-Palestinian demonstrators, as well as her past stances on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The video argues that Harris's attempt to distance herself from Biden's policies is disingenuous, given her previous unwavering support for Israel.

Key Points:

• Kamala Harris faced repeated interruptions from pro-Palestinian protesters at her book tour launch.
• Harris attempted to distance herself from President Biden's response to the war in Gaza, stating, "I made my position clear" in closed rooms.
• The video questions the sincerity of Harris's claim, highlighting her previous opportunities to express differing views publicly, especially during her presidential campaign.
• Footage of the protests includes demonstrators chanting, "Your legacy is genocide" and criticizing her support for Israel.
• The video references a statement from August where Harris's national security advisor affirmed her commitment to Israel's defense.
• During a CNN interview, Harris stated she was "unequivocal and unwavering" in her commitment to Israel's defense.
• The video cites an Israeli air official stating that without the US weapons supplied by the Biden-Harris administration, Israel's aggression against Gaza could not have been sustained for long.
• The speakers argue that Harris's policy on Israel is essentially the same as Biden's, facilitating what they describe as a genocide.
• They suggest that if Harris had promised to stop arm sales to Israel, she could have won over voters who were otherwise reluctant to support her.
• The video concludes that a clear stance against the ongoing conflict could have potentially swayed swing states in her favor.

Aside from Alphabet’s own forays into AI, they’re also selling pickaxes to most other AI prospectors.

It’s a story deSouza likes to tell in numbers. In a conversation with this editor, he notes several times that nine out of the top 10 AI labs use Google’s infrastructure. He also says that nearly all generative AI unicorns run on Google Cloud, that 60% of all GenAI startups worldwide have chosen Google as their cloud provider, and that the company has lined up $58 billion in new revenue commitments over the next two years, which represents more than double its current annual run rate.

Asked what percentage of Google Cloud’s revenue comes from AI companies, he offers instead that “AI is resetting the cloud market, and Google Cloud is leading the way, especially with startups.”

The strategy extends beyond simple customer acquisition. Google offers AI startups $350,000 in cloud credits, access to its technical teams, and go-to-market support through its marketplace. Google Cloud also provides what deSouza describes as a “no compromise” AI stack — from chips to models to applications — with an “open ethos” that gives customers choice at every layer.

The approach reflects both opportunity and necessity. In a market where companies can go “from being a startup to being a multibillion-dollar company in a very short period of time,” as deSouza puts it, capturing future unicorns before they mature could prove more valuable than fighting over today’s giants.

“Companies love the fact that they can get access to our AI stack, they can get access to our teams to understand where our technologies are going,” deSouza says during our interview. “They also love that they’re getting access to enterprise-grade Google class infrastructure.”

Google’s infrastructure play got even more ambitious recently, with reporting revealing the company’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering to expand its custom AI chip business. According to The Information, Google has struck deals to place its tensor processing units (TPUs) in other cloud providers’ data centers for the first time, including an agreement with London-based Fluidstack that includes up to $3.2 billion in financial backing for a New York facility.

Competing directly with AI companies while simultaneously providing them infrastructure requires … finesse. Google Cloud provides TPU chips to OpenAI and hosts Anthropic’s Claude model through its Vertex AI platform, even as its own Gemini models compete head-to-head with both. (Google Cloud’s parent company, Alphabet, also owns a 14% stake in Anthropic, per New York Times court documents obtained earlier this year, though when asked directly about Google’s financial relationship with Anthropic, deSouza calls the relationship a “multi-layered partnership,” then quickly redirects me to Google Cloud’s model marketplace, noting that customers can access various foundation models.)

Kudos to France and Mistral AI for genuinely creating an amazing European alternative to Chat GPT! Le Chat gives some incredibly detailed and intricate responses that I cannot seem to get from Chat GPT. I am genuinely impressed at the outputs that Le Chat produces to miscellaneous questions. I still use Google Gemini because of their Veo-3 video generator, but if it weren’t for that, I would not give a penny to Google for their unscrupulous antics. I just hope it is not unusual that Le Chat is now my most preferred AI LLM. I wished the EU also had its own semiconductor industry as well to bring some competition against the USA and China without being very dependent on both countries.

It's reported that the Google Play store entry of Eden emulator (a Switch emulator) is no longer available. We don't know the reason, but my educated guess is that Nintendo might have striked. I recommend to download current official clean builds and source code for backup, just in case you want to use it later.

• Homepage: https://eden-emu.dev/
• Downloads: https://github.com/eden-emulator/Releases/releases/
• Source: https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden

I personally still use last official build of Yuzu, even today (playing Tears of the Kingdom). I never tried Eden, but it might be useful to archive it, so I do not need to download builds of others if I can't build it from source for any reason.

I know lemmy is titled to the left, so most probable answer is going to be no, managers are our enemy, but hear me out.

I always thought like this: I'm there to work and earn money, not to make friends, not to fake a friendship with any manager. If they fire me, no manager is going to ask me how I'm holding up or what my plans for the future are. What may look like a friendship is all fake.

There is, however, a manager where I work at that everybody agrees she is friendly and goes the extra mile to help employees. When I say everybody I mean that literally, none of the coworkers I asked said anything remotely bad about this person. At my company there are other managers everybody agrees are narcissistic morons and everyone hates them.

I had an argument with this manager everyone likes and after thinking about it, it was mostly my fault we raised our voices. She raised her voice first but because I wasn't listening to her because she triggered me.

I feel bad about it and I can't believe I'm writing this, but I'd like to have a private conversation with her to apologize and explain why she triggered me. She also does typical things any manager does that I find very unfair that I want to explain so she maybe stops it.

Is being honest and having such a conversation a stupid idea?

Both theoretical or applied is cool

They're purging not only members of org but individual and group who are leftists. Also words from a sub member I mod, said they're mass banning Illinois leftist subs and suspended all mod accounts to suppress spreading news that Gestapo is raiding in Chicago. Also deployed in PDX.
