If everyone in my area who has AI psychosis needed to be helped, they’d need to re-purpose the latest data center being built as a mental health facility.

What surprises me most is that I don’t think Apple ever sold an expensive cradle for this mouse to be held upside-down. Die hard Apple fans would have bought it.
Federal minimum wage is almost exclusively for red state populations that hate their working poor. All blue states besides one (that I can see) have state minimum wage set significantly higher that the lower federal minimum wage so the federal minimum wage doesn’t apply it those blue states.
Further, your DD 5.25" could have been set up in a RAID array so you could have 3 buses full of diskettes and only need two buses to reach the destination to rebuild the whole file system.
This sounds like politicians that don’t understand the technology.
Anyone can create an AI model (including Gen AI LLMs). I personally created on for a hobby project trained exclusively on a series of old public domain novels from the early 1900s. Don’t get me wrong, my AI model sucks and only produced barely coherent responses, but it absolutely meets the definition of an AI model.
So how would this White House action (if implemented into law) affect me and my model?
As long as the transaction doesn’t require biometrics, I wonder if you could have a traditional smartphone (iphone/android) located physically somewhere else, and a self hosted VPN that would allow you to VPN and remote control the traditional smartphone remotely. So you could run the real bank app on real smartphone hardware (no emulation), and not have to carry it having all access through your Linux phone with a remote control client.
The downside is you’d be responsible for the burden for securing this solution, as your banking app would be one of the most critically security data concerns.
Eventually I’ll try my banking apps, which might be the sticking point as I’m not sure I can get those outside the Google App Store.
If it has a full compliant web browser, you’d still have the bank’s desktop website available, yes? Though its possible the bank’s website may not be written with context awareness so usability may be cumbersome, but at least you’d still have access to the information.
I feel this. I help where I can and it feels like an infinitely deep abyss of need unfillable by what resources I can provide. In times past I’ve been able to come up with $1000 to help someone and before its been the difference between life success and failure. Now $1000 may only fix a single problem for the person and they have 3 to 4 other problems of equal weight with equal consequences. So fixing the one still causes their lives to go off the rails from the other remaining problems.
It makes me feel helpless to not be able to do anything meaningful.
…ok I’ve never felt more justified in completely turning off my TCL’s ability to connect to the internet, then.
My main TV is an originally bricked Vizio from a bad update. I was able to buy a replacement logic board for $20 to get the TV to work again. When I reassembled it I intentionally never connected the TVs Wifi antennas to the logic board. The TV has been operating fine for close to 2 years now having never been attached to the internet.

I was asking about the song. Thats it. If you want to listen to a 3+ minute song to get a better understanding of the poster, you’re welcome to. I’m not. If you want to accept the poster’s points without the song, you’re welcome to. I was interested in the poster’s viewpoint. They included a song which appeared to hold a large part of their viewpoint with respect to an experience with a teacher. I still have no idea what they’re talking about with the song. They communicated they aren’t interested in explaining more. I’ve accepted that. If you really want to wrap yourself around the axle on this feel free. I won’t be responding to you anymore.
Those two examples are not evidence, they are suppositions. They may be fine suppositions, but the poster provided a link that appears, by context, to be actual evidence. I respected the poster enough to ask what they meant by the song instead of just dismissing it.
I was also absolutely told this by at least one teacher, and in my case they weren’t wrong.
Can you provide evidence to your point without having to listen to a 3+ minute song?
I had something similar in elementary school. There was an assignment given and something like 2 hours to do it. The reward was extra recess time. I saw the exercise knew I could do it quickly so I screwed around for about 1 hour and 50 minutes. The teacher saw this and commented on it. In the last 10 minutes I blasted out the assignment, handing it in when everyone else did. I received a passing grade on the assignment. The teacher stopped me anyway from getting the extra recess time because she didn’t like that I spent so little time on the assignment even though I completed it sufficiently.
I stopped trusting teachers for years because of that and so no reason to put in full effort when arbitrarily applied rules would take away the rewards anyway. That didn’t mean I didn’t put effort into learning, it just didn’t really care about scoring well or doing assignments. I’d do well on tests, but had low grades from simply not completing or not turning in homework. Occasionally I’d even do the homework if I was working on grasping the concept being taught, but I didn’t see a point of even turning those in many times even though they were complete.
39% loss in cold is straight up false unless you’re talking like -20F.
My guess is that this number may be possibly accurate for cars without a thermal management system for the battery. In the USA, this would be exactly one car model and even of those there are years where it would be fine: the Nissan Leaf.
The Leaf came out in 2010 and has been air cooled until just this year in 2026. Some models had a battery heater though, but not all. I could see for a model without a heater and extreme cold the 39% range suppression. However, since its only one car, putting that 39% number is disingenuous because it suggest its more widespread when it isn’t.
I’m not putting all my negative feelings into a company sponsored LLM to fucking have it say, “no relax guy, it’ll be OK.” Like it’s a fucking clanker.
I’d be more concerned with any company sponsored AI chatbot therapist using what you say influence your employment relationship.
Employee X: I’m worried about losing my job so I work unpaid overtime and that is affecting my marriage.
Therapist chatbot to management: Employee X should not be given a raise. They already have enough external motivation to work without additional financial incentives.
The age of the DC doesn’t really matter. Its whether it was designed to be an “open loop” or “closed loop” cooling system. Closed loop DC use surprisingly little water because they capture and recycle it. A fast food restaurant would likely use more water than a closed looped DC. The big offending Datacenters for water use are the Open Loop design. These use massive amounts of water.
Close to me there are two DCs under construction. One is a large colocation DC and is closed loop. The other is a new AWS DC, and it is open loop. So as you can see, age isn’t really the determining factor.
So you’re asking yourself, why use open loop at all? Its energy bill is cheaper! Open loop uses swamp coolers (evaporative cooling) Closed looped requires more electricity for cooling using more traditional phase-change coolant (same as residential air conditioners).
