topic_title: Elon Musk

post:
 Do you guys really think Elon Musk is a nazi? Do you think his dumb salute wasn’t a dumb mistake in the moment? He’s clearly a dork, a desperate old richest man trying to be cool. And he may think the economics of 1930s Germany had some merit but do you really think he’s out here trying to commit a genocide or something?!

Don’t get me wrong. All the things he’s doing with the government are legitimately terrible. DOGE is ruthless and insane. He’s cutting like he cut at Twitter and look how that turned out. Twitter was one of the longest running successful platforms and he completely destroyed it.

I’m not defending him, but I do believe it’s better to focus attention on what they’re actually DOING to undermine the govt instead of painting swastikas on cybertrucks or posting nazi memes.

comment: he doesnt like democracy just like his busenbudy thiel said...- "no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible",

comment: they want dictator style rule for the elites... thats why they are pushing project 2025...

comment: trade war is also war...never forget that.. and poverty kills...

[User] brothernoah

comment: Nazis are all dead. He has Nazi tendencies so yeah...New Age Nazi. Definitly not an American, cause we killed the Nazis.

comment: imagine the trade war goes massive titts up... then its a whole new game...

comment: Hm yeah but all dictators aren’t nazis right

comment: It’s common for ultra wealthy dudes to think they don’t have enough freedom. Dumb thought.

comment: Elon could have unlimited freedom, just leave the states. Another rich hypocrite.

comment: “road to hell is paved with good intentions”. He’s not a nazi, but he has a utopian vision. The nazis had utopian visions too(in their minds). Utopia is risky

comment: In fact, you could probably link the worst atrocities in human history with the implementation of some concept of a utopia...

comment: But the best things in human history also stem from a utopian ideal (ie: individual freedom, democracy). You need the right ideal, and the right implementation

comment: His stated plans for the future sound pretty benign. Maybe he’s hiding some kind of authoritarian ethnostate in there somewhere but I haven’t heard a hint of it

comment: More likely we all end up ruled by a chatbot than we do by a king.

comment: He openly supports the AFD in Germany, and that is the closest thing to an official Nazi.

 Cefalu is nice, you've got it on the photo. Take a boat trip to the Eoli Islands from there.

In Palermo, check out the interior of Hotel Ballaro, formerly Orientale. Walk up the stairs, it's incredible. Stay there if you haven't yet.

In Trapani, take a funicular up the mountain to Erice. If you have the time, take a ferry to the island of Favignana, and stay there for a day or three.

 Re: Carl Rinsch

“Over the past four years, in lieu of a salary, I have been forced to use company funds for living expenses,” he wrote. He said that his company’s revenue had dwindled to nothing, and that he had to liquidate assets and borrow $150,000 from his family to stay afloat.

“My monthly income is zero,” he wrote. “I have been forced to focus all my efforts on being a ‘professional litigant.'”

Rinsch, who is from Los Angeles, was once an up-and-coming commercial director with backing from two powerful mentors. Under the tutelage of Ridley Scott, he made futuristic ads for Heineken, BMW and Mercedes. That led to a job directing “47 Ronin,” a samurai film starring Keanu Reeves.

Now Netflix wants its $11 Million back:

post:
 @nb

Actually yeah I think Elon Musk probably has similar views (white nationalism, Nazism) in the same way a lot of people on the far right do these days. On Twitter he's constantly signaling to, replying to and retweeting posts by white nationalists.

And you can watch his father explaining here that Musk's grandparents supported Hitler...

So is all of that a coincidence? It actually seems more unrealistic that all of this is true and that he accidentally did a Nazi salute on TV.

post:
 The full chat includes multiple instances where operational, weapons, target, and outcome specifics are shared by Hegseth and Waltz. These instances occur before, during, and after the attack.

Yesterday, we asked officials across the Trump administration [the Central Intelligence Agency, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the National Security Council, the Department of Defense, and the White House] if they objected to us publishing the full texts [...] most failed to answer. Late yesterday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emailed a response: 'As we have repeatedly stated, there was no classified information transmitted in the group chat.[...]'

Goldberg reached out to multiple different agencies to see if he could publish the texts and they didn't answer. The one answer he did get reiterated for the umpteenth time that there was no classified information transmitted, but objected to its disclosure because it was internal conversations.

The Atlantic released the entire transcript of the text thread. Get some popcorn, kids!

"The tariff will be applied not just to foreign-made cars but also to car parts, including engines and transmissions."

And just getting your car fixed will be a ridiculous expense?

comment: wtf? it makes no sense at all... or do the us makers import all the components?

[User] monNom

comment: This title is completely backwards. Tesla and rivian are likely the least impacted. Volvo and Mazda most impacted.

comment: Not to say that rivian and tesla don’t have foreign parts. I think rivian is integrated with VW in some way. But chart doesn’t match title.

comment: I guess if you look at it as an ordered list it makes sense. But those bars throw the whole thing off. Confusing.

post: Do you all still think that Midjourney is a higher quality image generator than anything from OpenAI? I'd love to cancel Midjourney if OpenAI is as good, I've just not used Dall-E 2 in a while because the quality wasn't as good. Firefly is the worst though.

topic_title: Signs your getting old?

post:
 I've had a suspicious bump of skin next to my left nostril since late January. Thought it was a zit - still get them occasionally as an adult but Welbutrin for anxiety has been a magic pill to almost completely put a stop to any acne I'd get.

It's not gone away, getting it looked at in early April with my dermatologist, who I do yearly mole screenings with already. Worried a bit because it looks suspiciously like Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and the Internet is full of photos of what the surgery aftermath is like for that.

Any of you dealt with any skin cancer worries yet? I have 50+ moles around my body so my dermatologist has always had me in that high-risk category. I wish I could go back in time and tell my young college self "just because the apartment complex you live in comes with a free tanning bed membership doesn't mean you should use it." I made very few bad decisions when I was younger but doing that crap was the top of the list.

 Been many times (my wife is half-Sicilian) and it's a wonderful place. Etna is breathtaking, Catania and Palermo are both interesting and beautiful. The whole north coast is lovely (including Cefalu which you've pictured) - mostly rocky beaches there.

The simpler local food and wine is often the best, just great ingredients done really well. Seafood is great and gelato is a must.

 Not making a novel point here, but...

I think in the very near future, I think for the vast majority of mainstream uses, most non-discerning people without knowledge and respect for art (most people) will just use AI instead of hiring an illustrator. Good AI stuff - at least in the eyes of most people - looks ranging from "fine" and "adequate" to "great".

And it's cheap or free.

"Hire and illustrator? Yeah, and let's hire a scribe to write out our emails, too. Jeez."

Saddening...

comment: It was amazing how quickly illustrators I know who did covers and for indie bands said their work just disappeared once AI got just about good enough

comment: I worked as a commercial illustrator from about 2003-2008, and in my experience it all started to die then, long before AI. The dominance of digital...

comment: pocketable media dictated style rules that meant almost anyone could do a passable illustration. The arc of descent already existed in 2010.

comment: It was a total failure on Apple devices, there is no commercial use for generative AI.

comment: Trends change. Can't expect handrawn style that was trendy in the 90's to still be hot. Just as the flat minimalist characters with huge limbs are dying out.

comment: AI can emulate and recycle what's been done but good illustrators who can innovate or have a very distinct style will still be successful

 Trump administration reportedly moves to ban Jackie Robinson biography from Naval Academy library.

A week after removing then restoring an article about Jackie Robinson from the Pentagon's website, the Trump administration has reportedly gone back to that well.

A biography about Jackie Robinson has been identified as a candidate for removal from the Nimitz Library at the U.S. Naval Academy due to a directive from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordering the school to identify books with diversity, equity and inclusion themes and remove them from circulation, according to The New York Times.

 So in a sorta reverse Uno situation... because they dressed down Zelenskyy and called Europe pathetic re needing US help with defense, Europe is not happy and finally taking action to shore up their defenses house after decades of not doing so. Starting to unify.

Meaning what? - I would suppose less involvement from the US or maybe none at all at some point. One would assume this is not realllllly what the US wants, to lose influence, be left out of those channels possibly entirely in future? Be transitioned out?

It seems to be happening.
