Oh this is the guy who was supposedly trying to create a "balanced" podcast with that "Crystal Ball" loonie.

He's also an Epstein files maximalist. He got utterly owned on the All-In podcast by Michael Tracey.

That's good.

Draw the battlelines now. I want the American people to decide between the MAGA Movement and the Harris/AOC Democratic Party.

Let's get this settled so that the USA can move forward down one path or the other.

Bring on the November elections.

For real. This is one example where it's possible to actually have at least a quasi-principled stance on the other side. And she has it. Stated clearly. I happen to think it's exactly wrong and will be proven to be exactly wrong. But there will be no doubt whatsoever.

This is a very facile take. The "next one up" in Venezuela is wearing a blue shirt if we tell her to wear a blue shirt. And all of this inner-core Iranian assholes are now fully aware they have no place to hide.

staying at the Venetian is worth the package cost. They give you a very (very) nice room and you can walk thru the resort to the show

I even upped to Palazzo for a very small premium.

The pentagon wanted Anthropic to back down and give in. But they didn’t. So the pentagon dropped the most advanced AI for a lesser model with the same standards.

Hegseth was embarrassed and now the pentagon is downgrading for no reason

Yeah. fricking clown show.

BREAKING: Sam Altman told OpenAI employees at an all-hands meeting on Friday afternoon that a potential agreement is emerging with the Department of War to use the startup’s AI models and tools, according to a source present at the meeting and a summary of the meeting seen by Fortune. The contract has not yet been signed.

The meeting came at the end of a week where a conflict between Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and OpenAI rival Anthropic burst into public acrimony, ending with the apparent end of Anthropic’s contracts with the Pentagon and with the federal government in general.

Altman said the government is willing to let OpenAI build their own “safety stack”—that is, the layered system of technical, policy, and human controls that sit between a powerful AI model and real-world use—and that if the model refuses to do a task, then the government would not force OpenAI to make it do that task.

In essence Trump will agree to Antrhopic's terms, just with open AI instead, cause Hegseth is such a clown he bluffed and can’t back down but in essence they will?

The way the FACE act has been weaponized under democrats is an abomination. I'm glad the republicans in Congress that passed this for Clinton insisted on adding the "houses of worship" language in exchange for their support.

I'd be curious to know if the "differences" this year were actually a trend or just normal variation.

Beyond that, even if assuming a trend, why is it necessarily "dangerous". One under-known fact is that cold weather kills WAY MORE people annually than hot weather.

Nobody ever talks about trade-offs. It's always just assumed to be net worse for EVERYONE.

I couldn't help myself from getting some Travel Packages for the first weekend.

It was CHAOTIC! It's 4 different weekends, each comprising 2 nights, each offering like 9 options between snake pit, diamond and regular.

What was crazy was things would show as "sold out" and then the next time you clicked, they wouldn't be.

My guess is:

--some people end up not consummating their purchases, so the tix get released back into the pool

--tickets are not released all at once at the top of the hour; instead, they are bleeding them out slowly over the pre-sale window

Once I figured that out, I slowed down. Tickets that were shown as sold out to me at 2 past the hour became available at 17 past the hour.

Also, the advertised prices were for the lowest possible in that package. In reality, pricing seems to be logically based on quality of actual seat selection. I ended up with something in the middle in the 200 level. Those were way more expensive than 300s on the side.

Now, on to Monday's pre-sale. The pre-sale code is still good for those. Might get some other dates and/or some "enhanced" experiences.

Good luck!
