NY Times trying to rehabilitate MGT.
Like she didn’t just days ago push a bill to jail doctors for providing medical care under AMA Guidelines and with the consent of the patient AND parent:legal guardian in the case of s minor.
Because she finds the treatment icky and against her sacred text that doesn’t actually weigh in on the subject.
You lie often enough, long enough and loud enough about a stolen election and some right wing freak with mental health issues drops pipe bombs around DC.

Wow.. just wow..
Gov. Ron DeSantis has fought Big Tech before. But his latest battle against artificial intelligence puts him at odds with a rapidly growing industry — and the leader of his party.
Unlike many of DeSantis’ high-profile fights, his opposition to AI has little to do with cultural grievances or “woke” ideology — and far more to do with economic disruption, labor displacement and the scale of the technology itself.
DeSantis frequently raises fears of how AI could ultimately upend the economy by displacing countless workers. The Republican rails against what he calls the “mindless slop” AI creates and warns deepfakes and manipulation could pose “a potential existential crisis for self-government.”

Oh my. Is this “serious”???? Oh what will the masters of the universe say? Like fascist asswipe Thiel:
My thesis is that in the 17th, 18th century, the antichrist would have been a Dr Strangelove, a scientist who did all this sort of evil crazy science. In the 21st century, the antichrist is a luddite who wants to stop all science. It’s someone like Greta or Eliezer.
It’s not Andreessen, by the way. I think Andreessen is not the antichrist. Because you know, the antichrist is popular. I’m trying to say some good things about Andreessen here, come on.

Wow Pete, better add Klown DEE-Santis to Greta and Eliezer there buddy.
And what will Pete’s bud Elmo think of the Frankenstein’s monster it hosted on its botched coming out party on Xitter? “Grok” THAT motherf’er.
But again is this “serious”? Eh yep, if the objective is to edge out that shitferbrains, that tool of the fascist tech bros, the one that widbee dumbfuck fellates into levitation for 2028:
jerkoff dickbrane BOWMAN..
Gooooo.. Kon-klown DEE-Santis!!
Elmo, Peetie, Sam Altman, Larry E…
What they gonna do?
Support Ro Khanna for Prez? My guess is that they just BUY Kon-Klown.
If they have any munee to spare. This AI shit costs.
and btw, LLMs might be on the way out in favor of tech that’s not only better and more “intelligent” but takes way less resources to run:

Oh well all that means is all this energy hogging gear will be repurposed somehow even if it is wasteful and inefficient.
