Meta/Multiverse was a propaganda tool, not an important technology. Timeline:

1) Facebook stopped making new things, pursuing enshittification as the primary strategy.
2) Facebook pissed off Democrats with Cambridge Analytics, and pissed off Republicans with censorship.
3) Doesn't matter how much of that was true, both parties were pissed off and threatening regulation/antitrust at Facebook in a bipartisan way.
4) Facebook promised COOL NEW TECHNOLOGY and name change. They also scaled up political donations in a bipartisan way.
5) The threats largely went away.
6) The COOL NEW TECHNOLOGY went away.

The core of the problem is all these politicians are obsessively looking for someone to hate. It doesn't matter if it's based on race, or trans, or gingerness, or whatever. They choose someone to effectively bully, and a good 30% of the country goes along with it as the latest target. (Some go along with it because they like to hate on others, and some go along because they don't want to be bullied).

If we can stop doing that, the oligarchy will effectively lose their power.

They had the LLM steer the car using a kind of programming language, with function calls that look like this:

set_motion(right, 60 %, 1.5 m/s, 10 s)

They translated those functions into input for some aftermarket car controlling hardware, which looks kind of cool but I didn't know was a thing.

I couldn't figure out from their report how they returned data back to the LLM, but apparently they pasted images and telemetry into the chat window every so often, or something like that.

Nah, America has become a reality TV nation.

We have zero chance of getting a competent president, for the same reason that the most skillful competitors never won Survivor.

Newsom comes across as bitter, though. He's a nepo candidate, never having won a particularly competitive race. He needs a little positivity. A positive slogan like, "Hope and Prosperity" or "High Time for Change" or "Change for High Time" or something.

When I held a clearance, I was never forbidden to leave the USA. I might not have a job when I get back, but that's not the same thing at all.

Something like this happened to my father when I was a kid. Go to Europe, lose your clearance. Of course, he could have gone into the private sector. Designing nuclear weapons for Elon Musk. :-/

They recently purged the designer of their stealth aircraft after realizing the stealth part doesn't work. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.visiontimes.com%2F20...

Maybe they want to ensure those weapons designers don't leave before their deception is realized.
