So Meta's corporate strategy involves manipulating our social lives even more than they already do? I'm tired boss.

They can always go lower

I'm not surprised. Weren't we getting signals like 3 or 4 months ago that used car repossessions were ticking up? That's a breaking point for folks. The economic boulder keeps rolling and I'm not wearing any shoes. Spiking the price of oil is definitely going to help. This too shall pass?

Wrong market

Yep. And when it happens, I'm not even going to be mad. We deserve it for making such a grave mistake.

Innocent people never "deserve it", anywhere in the world, have some tact. IMO you should still be mad as hell, at the right people

The Ferengi may have funded it, but it was built by Binars...I hope.

I'm not a policy person. I'm a regular guy, a dad, an engineer...but I am not surprised by Noem's complete incompetence. The grown-ups in the room were not saying the correct things in their campaign speeches or their news interviews to convince me that they knew what they were doing. I know that all new administrations have a learning curve, but the writing was on the wall and is still on the wall for many appointees in this administration.

It's very sad. We can do better. We deserve better.

A sizable percentage of the human population is deathly allergic to bananas.

I'm mildly allergic to bananas, but I don't think the number of people allergic to bananas is "sizable."

My son is not, and he will let you know how not allergic he is to Bananas if he sees any that he is not eating.

And this is relevant how?

Does deploying these models in "the classified network" also mean this technology is going to be used to help kill people?

Freedom means freedom to exclude and alienate at the government level? Is that your argument? I can see your hypothesis, but I don't see your evidence.

I would use this information to reflect.

How do you mean? I don't look down on anyone.

This is a reductionist take on the problem. If I knowingly spike your drink with habit forming chemicals, and I don't tell you about it, am I in the wrong?

> knowingly spike your drink with habit forming chemicals

Like sugar?

Yes. I'm glad you agree.
