The Wall Street sales pitch for AI sounds like "It's really going to suck for most of you. People are going to lose their jobs and people are going to die, but in 20-25 years anyone who still alive and still has a voice will think it was all worth it." www.nbcnews.com/business/ceo...

nbcnews.comGoldman Sachs CEO David Solomon is optimistic about AI. Most of America disagrees.“We’ll look back, 20 to 25 years from now, and the benefits will be really positive for our society,” the Wall Street leader said.

I really think the average person should be much more informed about all of this. The danger that non-technical people might misunderstand and irrationally amplify the dangers of the technology is less than the actual dangers posed by the technology.

Verified lab containment failures are concerning and although they haven't caused pandemic level economic effects yet their limiting factor doesn't seem to be intelligence.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

BLUMENTHAL: A judge in Florida referred your misconduct to the bar of New York for potential discipline, including losing your law license. Has that kind of referral ever happened by a federal judge for an AG of the US? BLANCHE: I don't know

If criminals can be politicians, then all politicians should be treated as criminals. They should all be surveilled to the highest degree and they should all be subjected to the same laws they claim to represent.

It doesn't make much sense that the Pentagon accept those terms from one company but reject them from another company. He's either lying or there's a lot more to this story.

More likely that Palantir and the DOWar found ways to circumvent those restrictions. Anthropic asked how they did it so they could further block access pissing off the DoWar and Trump. OpenAI came in and said they would take the same deal but would promise to look the other way.

www.axios.com/2026/02/15/c... "Anthropic insists that two areas remain off limits: the mass surveillance of Americans and fully autonomous weaponry." Hegseth is such a everlasting shithead. Everyone in Congress that voted to approve his appointment to Secretary of Defense needs to go.

Throughout this clip, Rep. Steil says over and over again that masking wouldn't be necessary if local governments cooperated with ICE. But that's nonsense. ICE is masking even in red states, even in places where there are 287(g) agreements, and even hiding their faces in photos taken at prisons!

REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are? STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks

Fraud, Waste and Abuse sounds like a accurate and fair description of ICE. Abuse didn't make any sense when they tried to apply the term to USAID but it sure does when applied to ICE.

Across the U.S., farmers are struggling. Prices for nearly every major crop are below what it costs to grow them. Farmers in Mississippi are perhaps worse off than farmers in the rest of the country. Rice is one of their biggest crops, and almost no one is buying.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

They lived, worked, served—and hundreds of them gave their lives—side by side with American troops. Anyone who served in Afghanistan knows how much this mattered, and we will never forget.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Jacob Frey: "I mean, let's call a spade a spade here. I was listening to Kristi Noem speak minutes ago, and it sounded to me like someone that didn't believe a word that they themselves were saying. Let's be straightforward about this: this is not about safety, this is about terrorizing people."

The US Attorney General made the argument that real leadership means being able to break laws, skirt responsibility and kidnap foreign leaders... Trump is a serial offender that avoids long term scrutiny for any one action by committing consistently larger offenses. How far will he go?

Bondi: "That's why Donald Trump was elected by an overwhelming majority." (Trump did not receive a majority of votes.)
