Mentally ill president

Why Is the President Posting Videos of Animals Mauling People?

President Donald Trump shared multiple videos on social media Tuesday depicting animals mauling people. The bizarre posts appeared as the nation is beset by sky-high gas prices, a war against Iran, and a cost of living crisis that has shaken the country’s economy as midterm elections loom.

While Trump’s reposting of a man’s final moments before he is killed by a tiger and other instances of exotic cats mauling people may be a temporary distraction from the upcoming midterms, all signs point to a successful showing from Democrats.

Mathpocalypse now.

‘Breathtaking,’ ‘Devastating’: Mathematics Reels After New OpenAI Release
Hundreds of new A.I.-generated findings moved the frontiers of higher math in a single day — dispelling any doubt that the field is forever changed.

Physics, chemistry and the rest of science will be next to be left in the dust. This could potentially change the entire way work is done at LLNL and LANL and change what kind of workforce they will even need.

Rather than slow, human-like incremental logic, computer scientist Scott Aaronson and other researchers noted that the AI generated "alien math" using highly recursive, bizarre code structures.

The good old days are gone

AI-made video

 This is really cool, but sick in a way, there is new AI-made video illustrating how it will take over the world and make humans irrelevant:

This is the DOE secretary

Hear the secretary's answers to why energy prices are up! 

He is twisting himself into a pretzel justifying the MAGA incompetence!

This is our DOE secretary in 2026??
