I’m trying to build a setup with a VPN

I depended on a closed source provider and got fucked over by them

Really now? But that never happens!

It’s just a way to pressure dumbass politicians into agreeing to give them the money.

It’s all tactics

EPA promises immediate investigation

You mean the oil exec Cheeto lackey that got put in place as the director of the EPA, that EPA? He will have it investigated and the results will be that meta isn’t doing anything wrong

Like in casinos where the surprise is that you won nothing

Yeah, people love that, and gambling is addiction is real

You don’t say!

And it even mentioned the hot air balloon Tesla which is overvalued by at least a factor of 10 of not 100

I’ve been saying this for years already; all Elmo Musk companies are bullshit companies

SpaceX got 3 billion dollars to get the US to the moon. They burned through that and got zero results. Those shit starship rockets barely reach LEO empty, and they never got any of the other hardware ready. If I do that, I’d go to jail for theft or something, but here? Meh…

Repeat after me: Elmo Musk is a command, every word out of his mouth is a lie, and that is how he got rich. Well, Lucky with rich parents, lucky with a company buy out, and lying lying lying

I got that on my list.

I need to make a post here soon as well about my setup, I guess

Filing for IPO these days is just the same as having a live hand grenade in your hands and trying to sell that as quickly as possible to a nice group of people

Here is another tip: use DuckDuckGo and get useful results and stop feeding the Google Dragon altogether

Chemetco and its senior officers became involved in multiple federal investigations during the 1990s. In 1992, the Federal Election Commission found that Chemetco, as well as its company president, John M. Suarez, and associate José Bóveda, arranged unlawful corporate and foreign campaign contributions affecting the U.S presidential primary in Missouri. The FEC’s General Counsel described the payments as “clearly laundered money,” and evidenced that funds were routed through entities owned by Chemetco and a Belgian holding company.[1] Suarez took over ownership of the company the following year.[1]

In 1996, an inspector from the Illinois EPA discovered a concealed 10-inch pipe discharging heavy metals from the smelter into wetlands connected to the Mississippi River. The finding led to a joint investigation by the U.S EPA, FBI, and Illinois State Police, leading to federal indictments against the company and its chief officer, Denis L. Feron, who owned parent company Metallo Chimique. Prosecution and conviction followed, for conspiracy and felony violations of the Clean Water Act. After Chemetco entered a nolo contendere (“no contest”) plea, the company was fined $3.8 million, then ceased operations in 2001, following Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

The case established legal precedent when the Seventh Circuit held in United States v. Chemetco, Inc. that the number of violation days is a sentencing factor for judges, rather than a matter for a jury. Atmospheric modeling later identified Chemetco as one of the largest individual North American sources of dioxins in the Arctic, including measurable fallout in Nunavut, Canada.[2] Federal investigations also documented extensive worker exposure to health problems including chronic beryllium disease and hazards such as widespread lead overexposure.[3]

The former Chemetco site was made a Superfund cleanup project in 2010 and remains under oversight by the EPA. Remediation continues to address contaminated soils, slag, and hazardous waste; at the same time, ongoing litigation involves numerous Potentially Responsible Parties including Fortune 500 companies.

And of course there is nothing about the entire C suite being jailed for this…

How many people died because of this? How many have gotten sick? If I poison a person, I go to jail because doh. If I poison 10 million people, I get a few million dollars in fines

I hate this world.

If this Tesla pipeline is true, I want investigated who knew about it, who came up with the idea, who signed off on it, who implemented it, who dug it, and I want ALL of them jailed after Tesla being fined into bankruptcy over this so that there is a huge cleanup fund available. Being the narcissistic asshole that he is, I feel free to assume Elmo musk knew about it or probably came up with the idea in the first place. Fuck all of these people

1 I don’t know 2 it is not

Funny how these supposedly specialized police officers have such a cool name, SWAT, because of course they do because it’s the US and they have to look and sound cool and do cool stuff.

Never mind that they supposed to be serving and protecting the citizens

I know these specialized teams also exist in other countries. What are they called there? No fucking idea, but it ain’t cool because in those countries, those guys are actually the real deal and they don’t need cool nicknames or military equipment, they are there to do a job.

Fuck, the US always was such a shit show, why are you people allowing police to be so fucking put of control?

That… Is insane

We too have tights, y’know, like the right to starve out employees, the right to overwork our employees, the right to hold slaves…

Too soon?

I’ll do you one better

Replace most city car infrastructure by bicycle infrastructure. The few remaining required car parks? Move those underground under buildings and parks. Then those places that used to be car parks, make those actual parks to walk and sometimes cycle in

Then move solar on top of building roofs

And what are they getting back? No I’m not talking about kickbacks to the few govt burocrats that authorized this.

Hint: nothing

I can only imagine that these are illegal.in the Netherlands as they would be too distracting in traffic

Why would this be legal at all?

This right here is the only answer

Companies can try to steal the app but they can only steal the name

The problem is not the tech. LLMs (AI does not exist, not yet anyway) have their uses and are impressive technology

The problem is the tech bros and all the mouth breathers who follow the tech bros without question while they insert lies, “AI”, everywhere it’s not supposed to go, and the places where it would actually be useful so far have been mildly neglected

I see, for example, use in having AI check MRI results for cancer. A doctor already checked it found nothing, and an AI does a second check and might find something a doctor overlooked. A real doctor then needs to check the results again to confirm the flagging. Please note, I’m not a doctor, I might be saying nonsense right now, but the point I’m making is that AI may be useful as a second pair of eyes.

AI can be, and has been used to find new novel mathematics. Mind you, AI is not creative, it just tries really weird and unexpected pathways to get to s solution which sometimes is useful

But the way AI is used now, making porn of your little niece, chatbots, and hey, how about an AI pilot, eh? And ai of course can take over the work from thousands of developers and DevOps employees, so let’s fire them all and then figure out that AI can’t do any of this shit, not nearly at the level required, and it fucks up about 30%ish of the time…

People are losing their jobs over this

I am losing my job over this

I can’t find a new job either becat all the recruitment and job finding is now all AI slop and where 5 year ago ingot a job with 20-30 applications, I now have sent out 200 applications and gotten a single intro interview and that’s it

AI promised to take away the mundane boring and dangerous jobs so we could focus on art and fun.

AI took the art and fun and guess who’s left to do the mundane and dangerous?

Yeah.

Don’t even get me started about the shit we’ll face once we make real actual AI. For the ethics, just watch “ST TNG: the measure of a man” to get yours started. It will be a shit show

So that “drill baby drill” didn’t just backfire, it backfired spectacularly yo the point where I’m thinking that we still might have a chance to stop climate change. Thanks Cheetos!

I can never see any media hosted from files catbox.moe, am I the only one?
