What a petty goon. So presidential!

Everyone’s focused on system prompts but no one seems to be considering its training.

Tell me you don’t work in large enterprise environments without telling me.

I’ve been through this before. If you simply don’t care for the user’s data, most of them will be angry afterward. It’ll hurt the cause.

I’ll add an anecdote that I hope gives everyone some hope though. I did migrate an elderly couple to Ubuntu years ago, and they actually really liked it. I think they found it simpler and faster than windows on their old laptop.

I considered it, but I think the overwhelming, unexpected workload would be migrating data, training users, and working with them through migration to FOSS applications from Office and the like.

It’s definitely not just going to be “installed Linux on your computer, have a great day!”

Said rednecks have a soft spot for whatever Trump does. It won’t matter.

It’s clearly unethical and terrible, but I am now considering the possibilities.

For instance, Elon Musk funds his campaign. Next thing you know, Trump is hocking EVs at the White House and MAGA is out buying Tesla.

Want to support Ukraine? Tell Trump you’ll buy millions of his shitcoin in exchange for pressure on Russia.

If you want climate action, go bribe Trump. If you can beat the oil companies at it, congrats, we can start to actually battle AGW by taking advantage of one severely corrupt individual who wields more power than he should.

I fucking hate this state of things, but I see a silver lining.

Why would Ray Dalio be accompanying Trump to the ME? He has been a vocal critic.
