Amen. And its in the little and big things. Reject being passive. Take responsibility and get to work.

With my work it's better than most junior devs when you consider the cost and hand holding one must do with a new Dev. Basically it can allow someone that knows what they are doing be more productive. In theory at least.

Finally heard his comments/jokes. Reading it didn't hit the same way as hearing it. Its subjective but I can see why an owner of a network of stations would be ready to drop this guy. It was in bad taste for sure.

I think if it was just about Trump he would still have his job. But with all the celebration of Kirk's death there is no way ABC wants this on them.

These things are dumb. They need to be hammered over and over to do and not do stuff. Even then they still do weird things. It's early and I can't take people seriously that think it's game over because of generative AI.

The models don't even know what they are in my experience. It's been a while since I tested it but maybe 6 months ago I would ask the chatbot what model it was and it could not answer.

Why? They don't know anything. It's how they work. They guess. Most of the newer ones search the web. A key to using them effectively is knowing how they work, their weak points and strong points.

IMO most of the issues people have with using them are more skill issues than critical flaws with the models. If you use them enough you are gonna hit weird stuff. It's wild sometimes. Love reading stuff like this btw.

That's what I'm here for. Solving real problems with fake solutions

Dude, I already have a fix for this. Join my alternate dimension where we pretend that we should try to fix physics and ignore umbels and roofs.

If we don't filter out wetness I say rain is dead. Its game over. Wrap it up boys

You know what else! Water is wet! That's important too!

Yep, that seems likely.

To my knowledge they do not charge for anything but transactions. Been a long time since I have used the platform though.

I think there is something else going on here though. This sounds like nonsense that he can't get into his account.

A boomer friend of my mom's posted this.

Dang, that's funny.

What does that even mean?

This sounds like a nonsense story to me. Am I supposed to believe someone like him can't get Coinbase to give him access?

Where are you getting that?

That's not true. Its an easy way but companies can buy bitcoin and hold it. Nothing has ever prevented that legally in the US. So accounting rules have changed that make it easier and the ETFs make it so that they don't have to learn how to do it. But they have been able to buy bitcoin for a while now. There are whole companies that have helped them learn to do so. Saylor even had a training course for companies to do it.

Even small businesses don't need to buy the ETFs. A small business that doesn't have any money in markets for example would have to go through the same process to open up a brokerage account that they would to open up a Strike account. It might be easier to do it with Strike. They buy bitcoin on Strike and can send it to self custody. They just need to do the accounting and track it all.

Writing this more for the others that might see this. If you have a small business you can legally buy bitcoin and hold it. You do not have to by paper bitcoin. That is false and its not easier either.

I mean... they probably will. If you have a lot of money tied up in tax advantaged accounts on a financial level in the short run it makes sense. But if you think the state could take that money or whatever... you probably should sell all your stocks and go all in on bitcoin.

I just don't see financial guys doing any of that. They are too bought into tradfi. Even if they do get bitcoin.

If you are a bitcoiner you should get this.

The state is like a proof of stake system.

The market is like a proof of work system.

I know this will trigger some people but it needs to be said.

The issue is NOT that Trump or his FCC chair is pressuring ABC to fire someone or do something. The issue is that the state has to be placed in the position to approve or deny business transactions. When you create a system where massive amounts of money require state approval you create a target. When you centralize power it is only a matter of time until someone abuses it. And when so much power is centralized in a nation divided into multiple cultures you are going to raise the stakes of elections. Every election is do or die. Its not just that you have bad people in these positions. Its flawed to the core to have so much power in a mob family like system.

People complain about all the people around Trump. Its obvious its about being close to power. But what do we expect? The people on the left getting all upset about this are so dishonest. They want even more power in the central government. They oppose state's rights. They oppose decentralization. So I have little patience for them crying about a late night show getting the can. You made this bed.

Yep, I see this as well.

Our men's groups / Bible studies are packed and have been for a while now. Something is stirring. I visited an Orthodox church for a cultural celebration last week and the deacon doing the church tour told us during the Q&A that they are growing. Running out of space with all the new converts. He said many of them are young people disillusioned by the madness of the world. Looking for answers and tradition. Something grounding.

The world around us has no grounding. The lines for what is right and wrong is always shifting. And what is it moored to? Culture. Which is always changing. There's no anchor. I sense good things have been happening for some time and these events (I don't think they are over) are the work of the enemy (spiritual) to hinder what God is doing in lives.

I'm bullish. These people are not our enemies. Evil is all around us but it is not flesh and blood.

Did he say more than the MAGA mob is trying to capitalize on the murder? I mean... if that was it... that's not hateful to me. That's an opinion. Its not disrespectful to Kirk either. He's also not wrong on a certain level. I think plenty of people are capitalizing on it.

The issue to me is this. Dude, what is this show even about? Who wants to watch this anymore. He's not bright enough to do political comedy. And what he's doing isn't funny. Its at best applause comedy. You have to think that ABC has been considering dropping this show for a while now based on the dropping ratings of these late night shows.

I don't care enough to go down the rabbit hole but you have to know that many admins have called their connections in media to put pressure on them for what they broadcasted. Pretty sure I have read about this in the past. If a major affiliate says they are gonna drop your show you listen to them. Hard for me to be shocked or outraged. Its not like we've had decades of by the book admins that would never put pressure on the media for their content. I just don't buy it. Sure, Trumps admin would do it. I think they might do much more. I don't think that is the place of government but I'm not naive. I feel like most of Trump critics (everyday people) are incredibly naive. At least the ones I talk to. Its like they are clueless to how the world works. They have failed to see how crooked the world has been for a long time. Its as if it was all fine till Trump rolled into town.
