Pringles are 2.35
Diesel fuel is now 4.40 here and will probably hit 4.70 (2 pringles cans) really soon
Do i start measuring fuel economy by how many pringles cans per fill up
or be thankful that, relative to fuel prices, my grocery bill is dropping like a rock

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

In the state of the union, Trump claimed he saw gas at 1.85
According to AAA gas prices now range from 2.90 to 5.08. Around here, Diesel has gone up a dollar a gallon.
I guess this is what he meant Thursday when he said "gasoline prices go up a little" to Reuters
Amateurs cobble together clips of existing movies and then post them as trailer of an upcoming movie. They can be poorly done, half-baked, and (sometimes) so bad they're funny.
Did somebody at the White House looked at the worst of the lot and say hold my beer?

That webapp was probably using 20% of my CPU just sitting there like the Microsoft paperclip.
Put those two things together and the contrast is striking.
Trump's lack of a plan beyond a few days of tactics met an enemy that already saw this as a long term war and may soon be led by a man deeply motivated to wage that fight.
3/3
Trump succeeds in directing the military to achieve tactical goals. I'm not convinced he has the skill set for strategic campaigns

US and Israel killed his parents, his wife, and his son. And he is the leading candidate to lead a country that believes It is better equipped to fight a long-term war than the United States.

I get asked to show up to book clubs, online and offline. Here is why from now on the answer is always "no." If you think this might have something to do with "AI" ruining yet another thing for everyone, you're absolutely 100% correct.

They're both fictional manufacturers of robots. Cyberdine is in the Terminator movies. Sirius cybernetics appears to come from hitchhiker's guide books. One of Star Trek series also used the name as a injoke with hitchhiker fan
