Sam Altman Says It'll Take Another Year Before ChatGPT Can Start a Timer An $852 billion company, ladies and gentlemen.

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work*

The UK is desperate to push a surveillance state by any means necessary

The current "automatic" process involves succeeding in the Life in the UK and English language tests and paying 3000 pounds.

Maybe Labour's plan of hitting people with more economic pain in 2024-25 in the hope things would improve by 2028-29 was something of a strategic error

Maybe the British government could simply be less afraid of transparency (impossible)

Meanwhile, the Danish People's Party they had allegedly vanquished are resurgent.

Oh it was a reference to the meme from a few days ago where some guy on X suggested transporting oil by truck ('Can this be a solution?') and got thoroughly mocked for it. Gingrich's idea is even more stupid

Can this be a solution?
