They're acting like they'll never be out of power or face consequences.

Presidential pardon power is unlimited. One blanket pardon erases all accountability.

and SCOTUS has ruled presidents have immunity for any actions while in office

So if you exercise your second amendment right and ICE goons harass you they'll freak out that you're "armed" and execute you.

And arrest the witnesses of their crime

Always been that way.

"I was afraid for my life!"

2A only gives you the right to buy the gun, not actually use it for its intended purposes

a much higher authority imbues the right to defend ones self.

the right to defend ones own person in the face of death or debilitation is not given by any form of government, thus it can not be withdrawn by such.

DC v Heller?

It says "bear".

The right to bear arms. Bear legs, heads, torsos, and pelts are off-limits.

The rush it out the door mentality of this industry is stupid.

> A group of fringe researchers thwarted safeguards at the National Institutes of Health and gained access to data from thousands of children. The researchers have used it to produce at least 16 papers purporting to find biological evidence for differences in intelligence between races, ranking ethnicities by I.Q. scores and suggesting Black people earn less because they are not very smart.

Yikes

Are they, like, wrong though??

More like I won't trust anything that doesn't come from a press photographer.

Their career prospects would vanish if caught doctoring images with AI. Unfortunately, the same can't be said of governmental employees.

I'd give them to Taiwan as well.

Yep. They really need them, delivery vehicles, and submarines.

She didn't appear sufficiently "owned" and the police didn't appear sufficiently cruel.

Why don't more people feel insulted when lied to?

Part of the AI hype is that normies can build things without learning to code. In which case, if AI is as good as some expect, wouldn't that kill all software products? What's stopping me from asking an AGI to oneshot me a photoshop clone?

I think it's more likely the case that AI is not going to be as disruptive as they think.

> According to one analysis, fewer than 0.04 percent of addresses on Polymarket account for 70 percent of profits.

Yikes!

At some point we went through the looking glass where the stock is the product.

Is this a new phenomena? Stocks aren't new. Why is the modern market treated like this? Did Henry Ford make his vehicles shitter to increase his stock value?

Companies with insufficient competition treated customers badly always. Antitrust enforcement weakened since the 1970s. And investors demanded short term gains.

It's the private equity era. Much like how legislative behaviour is now dictated by the wealthy even to the point of contradicting the will/desire of informed voters, corporate behaviour is now dictated by private equity investment to the point of contradicting the demand from informed user/consumers.

You should really really read about Dodge vs. Ford case. It all started with that case.
