It sounds like it only goes to 0 if certain goals are met, otherwise it’ll go down to, and then stay at 3%.
So if they can’t figure something out like those other states, it won’t go to 0.
Still a bad idea, but it’s not a lets make it 0% right away then FAFO
I feel like it’d be pretty hard to get a job in a freaking airport terminal as an illegal immigrant as well… not the brightest racist person there.
Ya know … a lot of things get called unprecedented, but I gotta say, I highly doubt a journalist has ever been included on a classified military strike chat anywhere in the modern world, possibly the whole world, ever.
So ya this is definitely unprecedented.
If someone absolutely had to be fired over this, it’s her supervisor for either not telling her to let a higher up know, or being a god dam supervisor and not reporting it up the chain themselves. WTF
Oops meant to reply to this earlier but was busy.
I was thinking more that Grok was aware of its prompt but was somehow able to then self reference it to accuse Musk of trying to silence itself.
If the prompt said you won’t speak poorly of Musk, but the AI doesn’t think telling the truth in a specific way is speaking poorly, it might say Musk doesn’t want me to say bad things about him. It knows the prompt and it made an answer.
So it’s kinda leaking the prompt that way
If it was somehow leaking it’s initial prompt maybe it could be revealing that?
The one that says your name is grok, you’re a helpful assistant, you will not speak poorly of Elon Musk, I Elon Musk am your creator, etc.
And this is why a family member with a green card got their citizenship ahead of Trump winning the 1st election just in case.
Why does any government invest time or money into new and evolving things. To stay up to date, be ready for change, and see how that new change can be of benefit.
When there’s a disruptive force, you have a few options
try to kill it so it can’t disrupt
do nothing and be disrupted
dip you toes in, so if disruption happens you aren’t blindsided and can hopefully wade through it
take a chance and swim in it so you can be on the leading edge of that disruption.
They’ve kinda tried option 1 but failed.
Option 2 could lead to long term consequences
Option 3 leaves them prepared but not overly exposed
Option 4 would be pretty risky
So really, option 3 is probably the best bet given option 1 hasn’t been working.
I’m not going to try and convince you on the merits of crypto, but it can be secured so it isn’t “ridiculously easily stolen”
I just don’t think Trump would do it.
Edit: Just to give an example - you could make it so you can’t use the money without 100% of congress (house and senate) and the president authorizing it. It would be so secure, you’d probably never be able to use it ever again.
They’re bombing the Houthis rebels who are (were?) fucking with the red sea shipping route to protest Israel, but I’m not sure how much they’re still fucking with it today. The Yemen government isn’t fully in control of Yemen.
Hey Putin,
We’ll give you some more gold to get it back, say $0.75 on the dollar so you get a finders fee?
Putin - Sounds great!
two weeks later
Shit we lost them again, Thiel seems to have them this time, maybe he’ll give them back to us for $0.75 on the dollar as well!
So personally, I think the government should have some, but I don’t specifically think selling gold for it is the right idea.
Everyone seems to be on about how this is just about cashing out his buddies, but what I’m worried about is these dumbfucks won’t know how to properly secure it or won’t properly secure it and itll get easily stolen, or they’ll outright steal it themselves.
Like they just used signal to talk about bombing Yemen and included a journalist on it…
So while I think it’s not a bad idea to have some, it’s fucking terrifying that Trump is doing this and can influence it.
4 states haven’t needed any FEMA money since 2015? Wow.
Edit: Oh wait more in the tiny ones on the east coast as well.
I don’t know if outbreak is the legit term for that, but I find it hilarious thinking they are spreading like a disease. How soon until the outbreak spreads across more state lines!
So he wants injuction to have to come from each individual state, each stating it breaks the law.
Seems like an awful waste, I wonder what DOGE would have to say about that
🤣🤣🤣
There was definitely a point in my career where I was making 50k CAD/year and it was a bigger change than my previous job when I went from 40k to 45k. I’m in a HCOL area.
I was able to rent my own small 1 bedroom apartment (price has more than doubled since then 🤮), go on small little trips locally, finish paying off me debt, buy a few nice things, and actually save money.
Over the years my salary increased a lot as I retrained as a software developer, and sure, the money is nice and I can buy more nice things and save more, but the big change was at 50k when it finally felt comfortable.
If it was 50k then though, given rent increases and other cost of living increases, I’m not sure you’d get that same experience until 70-75k now though.
Isn’t the a point of Musk/Doge so that Trump can say, I didn’t cut them, Doge did.
Assuming he ever cares that much to deflect.
Don’t they use the consulates unofficially for clandestine stuff?
That would impact US national security.
Just a further thought…
It’d be interesting if the tax could automatically increase if these goals that were met, were no longer met.
So to go from 3% to 2% you need to generate an extra billion revenue, but if you lose that revenue it then climbs back to 3%.
It would really complicate the system… you’d essentially need to always be set up to charge income tax, but then have a variable rate that updates the systems maybe quarterly or yearly. But you couldn’t ditch the system entirely since you’d need companies to have a method to suddenly start charging it again if it had to go from 0% to 0.5%
