🤖 OpenAI amending deal with Pentagon, CEO Altman says

Surprisingly absolutely no one with half a brain, OpenAI actually couldn’t fulfill the same deal as Anthropic while holding to the same high standards and principles.

And it’s all of these shortsighted nincompoops that are going to absolutely destroy the economy—and not just the stock market, but the everyday lives of normal folks—along with the idiotic policies, actions, and war (crimes) of the current administration.

I’m rambling and getting a bit off topic now, but we are at the point (and, to be clear, have been for sometime) in a post-capitalistic society where outputs don’t actually matter. Instead what businesses make is irrelevant as all they care about are numbers on a spreadsheet to appease Wall Street. The best ideas or products don’t prevail, just those who have inherited or “created” wealth, sitting on billions of dollars with companies that make billions in profit, but somehow can’t afford to pay full-time employees enough to keep them off of welfare.

It’s almost funny when the right wing made up this fake idea of a “welfare queen” who just wanted to sit at home and collect a check, when, in reality, they created a system where those same people have to work two jobs to survive—working harder than any CEO pencil pusher—while still sitting below the poverty line because of the actual welfare class that was created due out of Regan and trickle down economics.

🗳️ Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years

“This change is part of a broader, ongoing effort to align all of Gallup’s public work with its mission,” a spokesperson for Gallup said. “We look forward to continuing to offer independent research that adheres to the highest standards of social science.”

Yeah, I believe them when they say it has nothing to do with the current administration and the fact this president has the lowest approval rating ever. Makes total sense they’d stop to “align with its mission.”

💸 My Fellow Americans, We Are Richer Than Ever Before. Well, You Aren’t, but We Are

My fellow Americans, despite what everyone else says, we are living in the golden age of America. Not your golden age, though. My golden age. As in: I am very old, and everything I own is either solid gold or gold-plated or painted in gold to make it seem like it’s real gold.

Honestly, I’m not actually sure if this is funny given it’s basically a fact-based reporting. Or at the very least, more factual than anything coming out of this administration.

đź’Ł Regime Change Is Blowing Up A School Full Of Children

You wouldn’t trust anyone in the Trump administration to water your garden properly, and yet they get to decide who and what gets blown up. Everyone else has to suffer the consequences, this time none more greatly than those girls and their families.

The draft dodging head of the Board of Peace who said no more wars in the Middle East and that only terrible negotiators would bomb Iran, just bombed Iran, turning an already devastating situation in the Middle East with the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, into an even bigger chaotic mess, likely to start more war. Maybe his plan is to start as many wars as possible so he can then “stop” all the wars and win his Nobel prize.

🤖 OpenAI Reaches A.I. Agreement With Defense Dept. After Anthropic Clash

“Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems,” Mr. Altman said. “The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.”

From one liar to another—so you know it has to be true. They somehow have the same principles as Anthropic, but magically came to an agreement despite those principles being the only thing killing the Anthropic agreement. More likely, OpenAI has been chomping at the bit to get at that military industrial complex complex money so there’s actual some money coming in that they can point at for their investors to oooh and ahhh at and continue to pretend they are somehow worth over $700 million.
