I apologize ahead of time for getting any pronouns wrong. If I do, I promise it's not on purpose, I'm just old and slow. I know I'm supposed to be civil, but I make no promises if I interact with any fascists, white supremacists, or other far-right savages. Expect me to say a lot about politics. I'm anticapitalist, but not crazy about Marx's solution. I'm Japanese, Norwegian, and Swedish. I like cooking and nerd stuff.
I am so sick of hearing about the kidnapping of the mother of Savannah Guthrie. How many thousands have been kidnapped so far by ICE? How many of them died because they didn't get the medicine they needed? Yet even the β€œliberal" MSNBC (excuse me, MSNow) is talking about this one white woman instead of the countless thousands in ICE death camps. Fuck this country and fuck the media in this country.
America has enormous wealth, most collected at the expense of others. By the time the dust settles, we will be a lot poorer. When that day comes, when the depression finally ends and we realize that no one wants to be our friend anymore, I want every American to look in the mirror and think about all the things we could have done with that wealth while we had it.

US citizens need to understand this. Germany shows us what is going to happen. Some of those Republicans will realize how wrong they… 1/2
From the Internet (not my words): β€œThe reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that will be produced was promised to be paid with yet to exist money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been made, to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy AI demand that does not actually exist to obtain mathematically impossible profit.”
"OK, Google. Navigate to Osaka Grill." There is a restaurant named "Osaka Grill" that is 11 minutes away from my home. There is a restaurant named "Osaka" that is 29 minutes away from my home. Before Gemini, Google Assistant was smart enough to figure out that I meant the place with the stated name that is closer to me, not the place with a similar name that is farther away. The more AI they add, the dumber it gets.
