He’s been listening to Rubio again…

Yeah this is a reheated take that should have been posted in 2015.

I hate the “when” framing of this headline. That framing alone is propaganda to make it seem inevitable.

I instinctively downvoted this out of pure disgust. Then undid it because unfortunately this is relevant news, not his post. Yuck.

Accountability in the USA has been so poor that it’s forcing other countries to follow through just to prove they’re better (they are better, to be clear)

Happy birthday, idiot

I mean, the people did vote for her… if someone is gonna have to be the puppet/figurehead it should still be her, not the previous administration.

It can’t be revoked or transferred, he just has the physical token. He’s an idiot.

If he wants something shiny, and it has a chance of protecting even one Venezuelan family from senseless tantrums, might as well hand it over. It’s not exactly a bold move but it is a peaceful one, and it might help.

I theorize he is trying to get into heaven (???) and he might believe that the only thing that could cancel out all his sins is to become the Nobel Peace Prize winner (???) through violence (???)

None of this makes any sense if you don’t have severe dementia.

I feel like her sacrificial decision to give him this (ultimately meaningless) symbolic token in exchange for the potential of peace for her country is showing why she deserved the Peace Prize in the first place. If handing it over makes Trump chill the hell out about working with Venezuela’s succession, it will have been worth it.

(This situation is obviously batshit insane and it’s pathetic that he’s extorting her, but at least she’s trying to use all her resources available to manipulate this mad king and sue for peace - if this Nobel Prize was driving his hatred, it’s best to sacrifice it I guess. Especially since the actual honor is non-transferrable LMAO)

I’m sure they’ll get around to it in six, maybe seven years.

or just break em :p

I think he knows what he’s doing, since all he’s really doing is stuffing his pockets. Doesn’t take a genius to cartoonishly sell out the entire planet’s economy for personal gain. I’m sure if he manages to crash the dollar he’ll be thrilled to roll out Trumpcoin as the alternative and then rugpull the world a second time.

This method is definitely a great way to achieve some degree of explainability for images, but it is based on the assumption that nearby pixels will have correllated meanings. When AI is making connections between far-away features, or worse, in a feature space that cannot be readily visualized like images can, it can be very hard to decouple the nonlinear outputs into singular linear features. While AI explainability has come a long way in the last few years, the decision-making processes of AI are so different from human thought that even when it can “show its work” by showing which neurons contributed to the final result, it doesn’t necessarily make any intuitive sense to us.

For example, an image-identification AI might identify subtle lens blur data to determine the brand of camera that took a photograph, and then use that data to make an educated guess about which country the image was taken in. It’s a valid path of reasoning. But it would take a lot of effort for a human analyst to notice that the AI is using this process to slightly improve its chances of getting the image identification correct, and there are millions of such derived features that combine in unexpected ways, some logical and some irrationally overfitting to the training data.

The dude really wants to buy his way into heaven with a last-minute, utterly unearned Nobel Peace Prize.

I feel like he got enough for it to be a huge bombshell report.

Just putting a reasonably-up-to-date real-world value estimate next to any price in parentheses would be a big step forward though.

Subjectively, Lemmy’s communities are much more robust and have a lot more content than they did during the Reddit API exodus. I imagine there will be more people who choose to stay this time around.

While malicious compliance is definitely the optimal strategy, undermining the “legitimacy” of DOGE is also a decent strategy to take. It’s great news that Elon’s recent email gambit was (generally) a failure and he’s now trying to pretend it was just a joke. If a few more of their objectives fail in a suitably humiliating way, more agencies will be empowered to laugh them off. And I’d say having your own staff resign is humiliating enough.
