Anyone getting a GPU this year? The prices are worse than the 4000 and 7000 series from Nvidia and AMD respectively. And that Chinese AI thing, allegedly, tanked Nvidia stock.

Interesting times. Now the tariffs come flying out. Colombia getting some. Taiwan, especially TSMC, getting some. I think Canada too? Or soon. But they're supposedly getting a right wing government, too, so maybe they'll play nice with each other.

Did you guys hear Twitter might be for sale? It's still my favorite platform, next to Reddit, at least for reading headlines and occasionally posting comments on there. I'm still not 100% sold on this bluesky shit, though I did make an account in anticipation for it to take off. It's not my choice if it takes off; it's up to the people I follow and if they only post on BS. Or at least abandon Twitter. I don't think I can think of a major account that I follow that has left Twitter and has me checking BS just for their posts.

Didn't hear about Twitter for sale, but heard something about TikTok maybe being bought by Microsoft! Who knows? Can't imagine Musk letting go of X. And now of all times? Sure you heard that right?

I guess I misread. It's the stakes in Twitter that are being sold for close to the original value, despite the platform tanking financially.

Here's "Social Media" - just an extension of the "Legacy Media" - and how they're influenced by the devil. Assuming that god is truth.

In my research on the tech-industrial complex, I’ve documented how today’s digital giants weren’t simply co-opted by power structures—many were potentially designed from their inception as tools for mass surveillance and social control. From Google’s origins in a DARPA-funded CIA project to Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos’ familial ties to ARPA, these weren’t just successful startups that later aligned with government interests

What Tavistock discovered through years of careful study—emotional resonance trumps facts, peer influence outweighs authority, and indirect manipulation succeeds where direct propaganda fails—now forms the foundational logic of social media algorithms. Facebook’s emotion manipulation study and Netflix’s A/B testing of thumbnails (explored in detail later) exemplify the digital automation of these century-old insights, as AI systems perform billions of real-time experiments, continuously refining the art of influence at an unprecedented scale.

Time to visit some quotes of patriot North Koreans

The trend of the situation on the Korean Peninsula past year clearly shows that it is none other than the U.S. which is the arch criminal disturbing the efforts for creating a peaceful environment on the Korean Peninsula and bringing the danger of a new war and that it remains the unchangeable principal enemy of the DPRK.

No matter how desperately the U.S. may roar, it is nothing but roar of a toothless wolf. The incarnation of all sorts of evil, the empire of devils, is bound to grow old and go to ruin. This is the law governing the historical development.

The U.S. is a society where the law of the jungle governs.

In this society one can live only by way of racketeering and through fraud and swindle. Without these practices one cannot but be pushed to the fringes of society where one can not keep body and soul together, denied even the elementary rights to eat, get clad and have a shelter. Yet, the rulers there trumpet about "welfare for all" and "equality for all." This is the true picture of the corrupt American society.

The human life and inviolable rights are exposed to constant threat in the American society where all sorts of crimes are rampant.

We have already declared solemnly that all the aggressor forces to be involved in the UFG, military bases in south Korea and overseas, White House, Pentagon, Chongwadae and other bases of aggression and provocation would become the targets of the strategic and tactical rockets and other high-performance ultramodern ultra-precision fire strike means of the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK.

If a war breaks out on the Korean peninsula, it will not be limited to the peninsula, and it is a matter of time that the strongholds of aggression and provocation will be reduced to ashes. It is no empty word.

The Korean nation can never evade the catastrophic disaster nor can they lead a peaceful religious life as long as the group of Satan is left intact.

The imperialists have become evermore frantic in their reactionary ideological offensive to keep capitalism from falling into the abyss of ruin and dampen the growing desire of humankind for socialism...

In recent years the U.S.-led imperialist forces toppled governments in some countries through ideological and cultural poisoning and psychological warfare and built pro-U.S. regimes. The imperialists loudly advertise them as "bloodless revolution" and "color revolution".

Divine punishment to the world’s one and only delinquent Obama, You can also tell this by his appearance and behavior, and while it may be because he is a crossbreed, one cannot help thinking the more one sees him that he has escaped from a monkey’s body

Actually, a pretty good article.
