Wed 22:51:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "AI, Crypto Suffer Surprise Defeats in Illinois Primary Fights"
Wed 22:51:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Democratic voters in Illinois this week rejected most candidates supported by the crypto and artificial intelligence industries, marking an unexpected defeat for well-funded special interest groups as they prepare to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to shape Congress in this year’s midterm elections."
Wed 22:53:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "AI and crypto, relatively new industries with ambitious anti-regulation agendas, are courting a new generation of moderate, tech-friendly Democrats in a cycle where President Donald Trump’s own party is facing strong headwinds. In deep-blue states like Illinois, that meant investing heavily in fiercely fought primaries. In the end, only one candidate favored by both industries, Melissa Bean in Illinois’s eighth district, won.
Wed 22:53:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The two industries spent over $18 million in the past month on the Illinois Senate race as well as three key congressional districts, running generic ads under vague-sounding names in order to boost their favored candidates.
Wed 22:53:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The string of losses cuts against the narrative that crypto and AI can handily buy races across the country with their massive war chests.
Wed 22:53:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ “What tonight shows more than anything is that the idea of crypto-backed spending as an all-powerful force was probably overstated,” said Justin Heath, a consultant with progressive firm Orange Hat Innovation.
Wed 22:53:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The crypto-focused PAC Fairshake spent more than $10 million attacking Illinois’s Senate primary winner Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton and $2.5 million against State Representative La Shawn Ford in the seventh congressional district. But both candidates won, marking some of the first major defeats of the industry since it began spending in the 2024 cycle."

Fri 01:19:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], The US is now adding $1 trillion in new debtt every 5 months, the federal government is.
Fri 01:20:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ This is not sustainable for very long.
Fri 01:20:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ah, yes, good old fiscal conservatism
Fri 01:25:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I always hated Star Trek: Enterprise but in retrospect it's not nearly as bad as the newer ones.
Fri 01:25:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And looking back it's not that bad at all, really.
Fri 01:26:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I had wondered why they didn't salvage anything from that Klingon Bird of Prey in one of the earlier episodes. The one stuck in the gas giant.
Fri 01:26:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It was an opportunity to reverse engineer technology that was at least 100 years more advanced.
Fri 01:27:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Butt then I noticed that maybe they did. They might have taken schematics or something. In Season 4, the Klingons ambush them and are shocked that an Earth ship has torpedoes with antimatter warheads.
Fri 01:27:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Archer managed to disable their ship and they hadn't even set the torpedoes to the maximum yield.
Fri 01:29:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Up to that point they had been using "spatial torpedoes" which were very slow. Usually just got shot down or bounced off enemy shields.
Fri 01:29:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That seems like a huge advancement in only 3 years.
Fri 01:29:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I think they did steal some files off the Klingon ship.

Fri 01:32:25 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ what i've heard is that since microslop bought those 'microslop <3 linux' ads, we're supposed to love microslop and forget everything they've ever done
Fri 01:32:33 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ even though they've never stopped doing any of it
Fri 01:32:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Now they say they will have "AI" scan Linux for bugs.
Fri 01:32:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Fri 01:33:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I saw a Microsoft employee get mad that CoPilot kept offering code that was even more broken than the bug they were dealing with before.
Fri 01:33:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It all played out on github.
Fri 01:33:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ strange, they usually love broken code
Fri 01:33:41 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe that employee didn't get enough re-education
Fri 01:36:34 │ 〖Sompi_〗 │ You can always remove the feature if you cannot fix it.
Fri 01:37:39 │ 〖Sompi_〗 │ Most probably that feature was old anyway, so no-one used it anymore.
