No.
I'm more expecting that he'll use the wars as a reason to cancel the elections in the first place.
No elections means he was never voted out...

If you start to get enough sleep at night, you won't be able to produce enough exhaustion to keep paying for things... It's a vicious cycle.

I'm curious - the US government have proven over and over that they have no intention of stopping his atrocities or holding him accountable for them. So what happens next?

He's previously said that the war will continue until they surrender *to the USA*. Surrendering to someone else isn't good enough for him - he's got to be the bully at the top...

> Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, [...] are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time.

Translated, that says "We're going to deliberately do even more war crimes".

The problem is that, in modern society, success is measured by wealth rather than ability.
So the super rich people who have never done anything themselves feel successful, and the under paid but more capable people feel the opposite...

To be fair to them, how dare gay people want to *checks notes* be respected and treated as equals. It's just not fair of them...

So, apparently the official terrier of Ireland is the Kerry Blue Terrier, and not the Irish Terrier... Who'd have thought...

Can she come over here and tell our government the same?

Or else they'll move into those areas that GenAI just can't do- either not at all or not well enough.
I'm thinking things like where performance is key, where you can't afford any hallucinations, or where there's just not anything in their corpus to pull from...

I'm both older and younger than ET at the same time.

Can anyone recommend any Grammerly alternatives that aren't doing awful things like this?

I read something about a brilliant way a teacher was using them. They had the students look up the answers on ChatGPT, then research all the ways the LLM generated answers were wrong.
Not only learning how to check these things, but also that LLMs give wrong answers...

Still doesn't work.
Apparently the real number is around 0.48%. So even if see got the decimal point wrong (and I could forgive someone confusing 0.3% with 0.3 = 30% if that number wasn't so ridiculous in this case), but even then the digits are way off...

So, is she just outright lying? Or is she given false information by her staff and is too stupid to question it?
And which is worse?

Since the US violated the Olympic Treaty (no fighting from 7 days before the Olympics until 7 days after the Paralympics), I assume this means they're uninvited from at least the Paralympics?

Or are they allowed to just break treaties and bomb schools with impunity?

Can we possibly all agree collectively to just boycott those cars whose normal headlights - not full beams, just normal - are brighter than the sun...

Can anyone recommend a cloud-hosted, free (or inexpensive) personal wiki? Something like Obsidian only online. And preferably one that has good enough support for mobile devices too.

Murdering.
The word you want is murdering. Not killing.
The defense department murdered (another) three people.
That's what you call premeditated killing without any legal reason - such as evidence, a court conviction, anything at all like that...

If this is all true then this is scary. Not least because I can think of at least one other AI company that would gladly take government money, and has no qualms about pesky things like ethics.. So Anthropic saying No likely won't stop them from doing this anyway :(

How many MAGA voters will look at this one number and cry fraud if they lose?

If they can raise prices on stock they didn't pay tariffs on ahead of needing to pay tariffs on future stock, they *could* absolutely drop prices on stock they did pay tariffs on ahead of not needing to pay them any more.
They just won't.

Screenshot of the "I'm Not a Robot" game, level 17 where you have to draw a circle that is 94% accurate, showing that I was 94.7% accurate and had almost finished it when I ran out of time.

Worse, if the tariffs are removed, odds are the prices won't go back down to what they were before. The companies will just pocket more profit from you...

People who were abused by some of the richest and most powerful people on the planet were threatening to name names, without any form of protection, and are suddenly not doing so anymore. I wonder what could have happened there... :(
