I'm still enjoying the 1-2 hours a day I've gained for more productive pursuits through having made the decision to stop watching the news. Smile So there's one positive Grin

I get enough of a depressing flavour of current events via these threads and the Starme thread.

Yep.

We can't change anything now. We can look and observe and grimace and be shocked. We can't change anything YET

Elon Musk might be in charge of the business of Grok, but the artificial intelligence has seemingly gone into business for itself, labeling Musk as one of the worst offenders when it comes to spreading misinformation online.

Elon Musk's AI turns on him, labels him 'one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X'

His posts, it added, “can have real-world consequences."

Owed by his own robot. Poetic.

Tiger king's Joe exotic has written to trump asking for a pardon and also asking for a job in his cabinet.

This is not a joke. He wants to be the federal fish and wildlife director

I LOVE the Dead Ringers version of Musk

Poor Mikey - maybe they'll share their Happy Meal toys with him.

Well, at least my DS and his partner have decided to step down their relationship - neither feels it would be safe for DS to move to the US in the near future so they have decided to be long distance friends because it just isn't going to fly. I'm sad for him, but also relieved.

Zonder · 18/11/2024 20:57

Sad but understandable @pointythings

Trump: "You’re not gonna post that are you? I didn’t have my hair on.”

Musk: “Of course not.” Musk: …

I'm so sorry @pointythings
Tough for your son but hopefully they will stay good enough friends to take a view once Trump is history

I saw that photo yesterday and thought it looked like the hair was missing... 👀

Is that image real or has it been doctored? I can totally believe Trump has fake hair, but equally it’s such a big thing for him I can also see it would be a target for mischievous editing.

AcrossthePond55 · 18/11/2024 23:43

@pointythings

Well, I'm sorry for them, pointy, but they have to do what makes them feel safe.

If it's meant to be their friendship will last the next four years and perhaps they'll be able to rekindle the flame.

I hope it will pan out that way. Right now DS has to focus on his degree and on his health, his antidepressants have stopped working and he's struggling to keep going,so putting himself first is sensible. He's not partner material right now and he knows it.

BustingBaoBun · 19/11/2024 09:21

@pointythings do hope your son comes through all this, it sounds like he is very aware. What a worry for you

Does it really matter ? (It really helps to have read a lot of Goebbels).

Either way, it isn't going to lubricate the sheets of the Trump-Musk lovefest is it ? Which one feels may have been the point.
