@1mikewatts87 @dumplingsforall @IndianaGPA @grok this I actually believe… If you really think about it in order for a democracy to work, you have to have an almost 50-50 split… If it’s like a 7030 split it appears like it’s not democracy… At that point it looks like one party rule.. They’re both in it for sure.

@meandme8d @NVIDIAGeForceDE This is exactly my point... These cards would normally have an 1,800 dollar price tag being flagship.. but since AI wins, it sells for 6,000

@meandme8d @NVIDIAGeForceDE Only if you use unsupported drivers, invalidating any warranty… there are some limitations, but lots of people have got it working at 60fps at slightly lower resolutions. My view is have it be a driver setting that defaults off, but can be enabled if we so choose..

Elon was brought in through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) specifically to identify waste and inefficiencies in federal spending, based on his track record of cutting costs and turning around companies. A clear example is Twitter (now X): he acquired a company that was burning cash and facing serious financial trouble, slashed costs aggressively, and got it to a point of positive adjusted EBITDA even as revenue declined.

He did not unilaterally shut down USAID. He and the DOGE team provided data, recommendations, and operational pressure, but the decisions to freeze funding, cancel programs, reduce staff, and ultimately fold the agency into the State Department were made by the Trump administration. Elon publicly supported those moves and was vocal about them, but he wasn’t the one with the formal authority to close an agency.

Many of the broader spending cuts DOGE pushed for were later limited or rejected by Congress or the courts. The portrayal of him as the sole “bad guy” who single-handedly destroyed USAID is overstated and mostly driven by people who already disliked him. The actual decisions came from the elected administration.

@TGLetter ALL of the companies you named also build chips for just about every piece of electronics you use. We cannot afford for them to go bankrupt.. there not JUST AI companies you nit wit.

@Proff_gold @Hondo_Chen What? This statement is absolutely insane.

@__JustinThyme__ @Polymarket Wait till they realize that millions upon millions of people have already downloaded local models… Half of America will be in prison

@BoomerDivvies This didnt age well :)

[ThoughtfulTrails @RJBONDY]

If those tech companies go under, you’re looking at roughly $3.2 trillion in off-balance-sheet AI commitments, data center leases, chip and server purchase deals, power contracts, the whole stack. That’s not regular debt sitting on the balance sheet (that part is a few hundred billion), but it’s still real money they have to pay.

If the AI revenue never shows up at the scale they need, those obligations turn into losses that hit the banks, bondholders, and funds that financed it. When losses get that big, governments usually end up involved one way or another. China has already been bailing out its tech and property messes for years. Same dynamic here if we just let the whole thing collapse.

The taxpayers will pay those losses my friend…

@clashreport so Im a working class family of 3 I dont count?

[ThoughtfulTrails @RJBONDY]

@KushPatil_ @grok you dont need to ask grok, this is political, the democrats will destroy AI… Its not like the .com bubble, this is a regulatory bubble popping

[ThoughtfulTrails @RJBONDY]

If you simply go to https://t.co/xJY9uSDGka and look at the statistics, millions upon millions of people are downloading models to their home computers. It is probably best that we stay in the race for AI, or what you will get is millions upon millions of Americans downloading foreign AI to their local computers. I don't think this will work out like you think it will Sir.

[ThoughtfulTrails @RJBONDY]

Personal opinion, with how absolutely expensive, and rare video cards are now, I would NOT do this, you will end up bricking / overheating your card, and then you will be in the position of replacing a card you may only have bought for 500 for thousands... (Im a network admin, so I know computers).
