How Far Trump Would Go

https://time.com/6972021/donald-trump-2024-election-interview/

To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland. He would let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans. He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by Congress, according to top advisers. He would be willing to fire a U.S. Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone, breaking with a tradition of independent law enforcement that dates from America’s founding. He is weighing pardons for every one of his supporters accused of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury. He might not come to the aid of an attacked ally in Europe or Asia if he felt that country wasn’t paying enough for its own defense. He would gut the U.S. civil service, deploy the National Guard to American cities as he sees fit, close the White House pandemic-preparedness office, and staff his Administration with acolytes who back his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen.

Pure insanity that people are on the fence about whether or not to vote against this guy.

AI Action

I've been too busy at work (and suffering from too much anxiety) to follow all of the AI progress news over the past couple of weeks. We can discuss it here, but I mostly wanted to share out some things I've recently created with AI.

You know you're getting old when you get a thigh cramp while having sex. Wife asked me afterwards: "Which came first the pleasure or the pain?" It was the pain but I powered through.

Best Buy has had the 4090 FE in stock ALL DAY. I'm sorely tempted, even though I swore I would skip a generation (I have a 3090).
