They stole the CA Mayors race.

@ArmchairAdml Surprising? Not really. Not letting unserious countries ruin things is what serious countries do

[Yuri @freddo411]

@Michael_Haz absolutely tell them: "too bad"

@MoMohler Big if.

The US has Football, Basketball woven into our culture. It's extremely difficult to imagine soccer building the momentum of the soccer culture of England/France/Germany and the rest of the world

@otherside_X42 China is the absolute master of copy/paste in photoshop

Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.

0/24,000

A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.

Astronomically small probability of happening.

Impossible.

California no longer even hides it.

Doors need to be kicked in.

@japan_nobunaga I will report back in October. Perhaps I will have earned my Japanese name

[Yuri @freddo411]

@PstafarianPrice Yeah, me too

@RodeoProfessor Look at what happened in California when the gov't would not allow clearing of wildfire fuel.

The list of communities that have been burned down is insane

AI is a new tool. It has great capabilities, but it also has some sharp failure points, especially if used indiscriminately.

I think the mental model of AI as an independent, rational actor is wildly inaccurate (at least at this point) and probably legally and morally dangerous.

Looks like a replay of the dotcom bubble. Massive crash incoming ... followed by huge upside a decade after that.

@IMAO_ why not?

skill issue

[Yuri @freddo411]

@Robotbeat I'm sure it won't, but they probably won't launch anything like 10K sats, and they will do *something* to squeeze the costs down to practicality

[Yuri @freddo411]

@DoctorLemma More enshitification of the human experience.

Maybe don't lie and gaslight humans?

[Yuri @freddo411]

@thevillagerabbi Fraud.

Lots and lots of fake ballots

[Yuri @freddo411]

@justinackermann @JackWhitlock Then why do we see the working grid fin rapidly providing control inputs?

You need to have the right attitude. It can be awesome. Especially if you enjoy discovering new things, and enjoy being outdoors.

Avoid:

Dense RV parks .. park lots are no fun.
Crowded tourist hotspots
Driving most days. Setup base camp and do local things

Don't miss:
goofy museums/attractions
road food (ice cream shops/burger joints/etc)
Do the hikes!
Get on the water
Look at the stars
