There are small language models out there that can run fluently on smartphones. I'm fond of StableCode as a coding tutor. My dream is to be able to speak to the tutor and see its code instructions without having to dig my phone out.

A large part of their movement is based on aesthetics. And csam is probably a bridge too far for them. It just looks ugly. But I have no doubt many of them don't care about that either.

But from the blackmail angle, the public image of a sick pedo is not compatible with the orange man's public facing persona and his narcissism would make him the perfect blackmail target

There's nothing that explains what orange man is doing better than blackmail.

I was skeptical up until the tariffs. Now it's obvious they've got blackmail.

Alao an interview with epstein was leaked last year where he mentioned trump having sex on his plane. But in 2017 that clip was suppressed for some reason.

We know trump flew on that plane many times and that it was rigged with secret cameras

The US has 3.5 billion in trade with Russia. The tariffs include Iran; Venezuela, etc... they also slapped them on countries which we have a trade surplus with.

It's also looking like they used chatgpt to write the list but then specifically omitted five countries. Russia, north korea, Cuba, Belarus. Russia and its fine closest allies. How can anyone see this and not think the Kremlin does t own the Epstein tapes

It's not even the worst ideologically driven madness Pushed on foreign nations. The George W. Bush administration used aid programs to coerce African nations to focus on faith based birth control initiatives (such as abstinence) during the HIV epidemic leading to absolutely massive numbers of infected across the continent.

It's odd to me that someone would feel the need to compensate for their socially awkward highschool years by learning Brazilian Ju-Jitsu and taking growth hormone. You'd think being rich would be enough for these people but it's not.

For a brief period of time, I entertained the hope that the t-shirt was Zuck's way of warning the world that the US was slipping into a fascist dictatorship, but that was not the case. It seems clear that that he wore the shirt out of hubris. It was his way of telling the world that he was the modern era's Caeser and the two others men running the failing superstate were crassus and pompey. An absolutely mindless message given how it ended for all three of these men.

By the way, isn't the word "commode" derived from Commodus? We should name something after Zuck. Perhaps this new strain of bird flu that's been spreading wildly because of a lack of a federal response?

It occurred right around when the kingdom in orange took power. Somehow zuck thought that it would be advantageous to his interests to compare himself to Caesar during an obvious triumvirate. The orange one and phony stark would be crassus and pompey by extension. But I think commodus is a far more appropriate roman emperor for zuck to choose as his patron saint

For fitness its probably decent but Garmin seems to have placebo sleep tracking. In order to get anything remotely accurate the sleep tracking algorithm has to be compared to a lot of polysomnograph data. But because companies don't want to spend any more than they need to sleep tracking is usually just tacked on. Garmin hasn't shown a good track record in this regard.

So far all anti propaganda laws were passed in totalitarian states to suppress dissidents. But I think a good start would be to look at pre-existing limitations on free speech. Can you shout "fire" in a crowded theater just for funsies? No? Then we've already got a public safety caveat in our right to free speech. So you can't say something that will kill people IF IT IS A LIE. There are also time place and manner restrictions on free speech. So we agree there is a time and place where you can criticize the state. So we sort of believe that during public emergencies, such as during a pandemic, you cannot spread lies about the pandemic.

There are ways to prove lies.

They were tricked by a propaganda machine. They may have been willing participants but had they known everything they never would have voted against their own interests. Yet every country in the western hemisphere, South America, Africa, Asia, and well everywhere doesn't have anti propaganda laws. If you're rich you can buy influence in any neo liberal country. Why is that?
