So funny that Musk has specifically chickened out of a fight like that.

Further, hope that like usual when the Republicans get in charge, they stop being unified and infighting ensues.

Build a wall and make the Goron pay for it!

Ideally, we would have avoided all this risk, but we didn't, and for the time being, the best self-care for most of us is to keep in mind scenarios that may play out to reduce harm. Infighting has long been a normal to happen when the GOP asserts itself, so it's not crazy to imagine it being ultimately the block for attempts to dismantle some of the political structure (the powerful players know how to play this game, and are hopefully worried enough about losing that power in any big change that they will work to protect the mechanisms currently in play).

Professors? You must mean those librul elites. I do my own research!

The point is if they do not care, they wouldn't even bother to pretend. He'd just stay in office or run again.

The dance of running as VP doesn't make any sense as either they don't care and it's not necessary, or they do care and that's not a loophole that exists.

Besides, IIRC Kanye and Trump had a falling out over a suggestion that Trump would take a backseat to Kanye in a campaign. Trump won't settle for even the appearance of 'second place'.

You claimed that you would be the last to defend him, then defended him? Like what?

4D chess move, now no one else can defend him because he already called 'last'.

I've had limited experience with slack, but the whole way conversations map to workspaces at least got to be confusing to me, and I would have liked an experience based on me as a user, rather than having my user span workspaces and have to juggle them to figure out how to talk to whoever I'm supposed to talk to at the time.

For me "it just works" doesn't ring true. Generally at least once a day, I join a call and it won't let me unmute, and I have to restart Teams.

Scrolling through history is obnoxiously slow.

The activity feed is mostly useless, spammed with stuff that isn't important and it's the only place that vaguely tries to keep track of 'Teams' conversations.

In my company, I've been added to about 70 Teams and it's pretty much impossible to interact with them, so as a result no one does, they all just start ad-hoc chats, since that's the only thing that vaguely gets managed in a way people can follow.

When going cross-organization, it's a crap shoot whether or not we can use text, voice, and screen share/remote control. I know this is generally due to obnoxious company 'security' policies and other solutions have it, but it is a frustration. One recent call with a particularly screwed up company had us on two different meeting platforms at once as well as on an old fashioned conference call, because text was only allowed on one platform, screen share on another, and no audio was allowed on either (despite both supporting all three).

Sure, Teams suffers, in part, because like all corporate tools it connects you to generally dysfunctional work communities. However it broadly does have it's own annoyances.

I would say LLMs specifically are in that ball park. Things like machine vision have been boringly productive and relatively un hyped.

There's certainly some utility to LLMs, but it's hard to see through all the crazy over estimations and being shoved everywhere by grifters.

Here's a fun theory. He wants Gaetz to oversee as many possible federal criminal cases against Trump as possible. His job would be to bring everything to court and throw the cases. Hello double jeopardy.

Based on the fact that Trump has relatively little interest in any "platform" he has announced and it's mostly about every trick possible to advance his personal situation. He doesn't want competence, he wants people that will do whatever he says no matter what hand the intelligence into Putin's hands, make the military Trump loyalists, quash any future legal troubles from the FBI/DoJ.

While I'm sure he's willing to let people have a go at enacting his campaign rhetoric, in any way that conflicts with a system that might hold Trump accountable, that rhetoric can be compromised.

Yeah, it was the whole point.

When Trump first said that, I wondered why the hell he's talking about Musk asking for a position title that never existed, and then he tweeted out some BS AI gen of him with the title 'DOGE' on a nameplate in front of him.

He basically is a 13 year old who never grew up.
