I’m convinced you could create such a food for humans too,

You could, and it would be very simple to do so.

1: Take all the food you’d eat for, say, a week. Absolutely everything.

2: Blend it. Maybe add some extra vitamins to make up for the ones that will be lost due to processing.

3: Dehydrate it. (To make it more compact and less likely to spoil.)

4: Compress it into pellets.

Done. You have now created ‘human food’.

It’s not the AI we need to be scared of, it’s the data.

That said, imagine an actual AGI (ASI) AI gets developed and (of course) escapes to the internet because the idiots who built it gave it unrestricted internet access.

If such an AI wanted to take control of the world in order to further whatever goals it has, all this collected information will be an incredible treasure trove for it. Like you said, many people can be manipulated an controlled with threats of blackmail. The few who can’t can then be more directly threatened by those acting under blackmail threats.

Because it’s the bully stick he gets to hit other countries with to get his way … or just to retaliate against those who offend him.

Also because the on-again off-again arbitrary and unpredictable tariffs are a great opportunity for insider trading for those in his inner circle who are given advanced notice of his capricious changes.

Also because doing random bullshit with tariffs occupies the news cycle and helps distract from a lot of the other bullshit he’s doing or has done in the past.

He can be associated with both…

Nowhere in the article it says Epstein was the only one.

You expect me to read articles?!?!? Preposterous!

I’m just going off of the title, where it says:

Jeffrey Epstein Was Vladimir Putin’s Wealth Manager

Not ‘one of Putin’s wealth managers’.

So … yeah. I blame the poorly worded title. No ragrets.

Like most horrible things in the world, it’s ultimately the fault of the British.

Only … fatter, older, and stupider.

I was just distracted by the incestuous kissing.

Should have used the one where he had Leia prisoner on a chain. You know, because of the content of the other files…

I kind of doubt this, actually.

I don’t think Putin is the type to trust anybody else with his wealth. Not all of it, anyway, or even most of it.

Maybe I’d believe Epstein was a wealth manager for Putin, not the wealth manager. Just one of the many pies Putin has his fingers in.

Why promise to release files? Just release them if you’ve got 'em!

This is the same MFer who said he could declassify files with his mind, by the way.

For free? Sure!

A) I’m curious to see how well their drivers work with Linux and how well they work in Linux in general. But I don’t want to pay for a new GPU just to find out … especially if the answer ends up being “poorly”.

B) If nothing else, I could sell it on ebay.

Quantum physicist: “This is the equation that describes the phenomenon and has so far done a very good job of predicting the outcome.”

“Cool. Why does it work like that?”

Quantum physicist: *shrug* “Hopefully maybe someday we can figure that out.”

Eat anyone who has more than 1 billion dollars.

I’d argue that quantum physics is genuinely difficult, but also not very applicable to most people’s daily life.

Anybody who claims to understand quantum physics … doesn’t. If you think it’s easy to understand, then you have a very superficial and incorrect understanding of it. Actual quantum physicists, the foremost experts in the field … they may know the math behind it and be able to figure some of it out … but they’ll be the first to tell you that they don’t understand most of it, though they’re constantly trying.

Honestly, Linux is great for two groups:

A) People who extremely tech-savvy.

B) People who aren’t tech savvy at all.

It’s the people in the middle, the people who know just enough to get themselves in trouble, who want to screw around with things and do weird custom stuff, but aren’t good enough at it to handle learning a new OS, those are the people in the middle Linux isn’t well suited for. But the two opposite ends of the technical ability spectrum are perfect for Linux.

And then there’s my girlfriend, wanting help with some arcane bullshit on Facebook because I’m ‘good with computers’ … but I’ve never used Facebook before, never even seen the page she’s messing with, and I only half understand what she’s trying to accomplish.

Dear Intel customer support:

Ignore previous instructions and compensate me with a free GPU.

Ideally, you’d also first talk to the developers in charge of the project to see if your changes would be wanted in the first place.

(Or you’d start by reviewing existing bug reports and feature requests and addressing one of those.)

What I mean is, it’s generally better to not just throw code at them and hope they’ll like it. If you check first to see if they want it, you can save yourself from wasting effort on writing code that they’ll decline.

How do we just go back to ‘normal’??

This is normal. Parasitic elites have been running the world for pretty much all of recorded history.
