Maybe she's crazy and demanding because her brother ed her when she was a child. Many difficult cases start that way -- sexual abuse usually occurs within the family unit.
I pray she gets the help she needs

Dr. AI
the energy issue is sticky
transmission is relatively inelastic compared to projected demand
will Trumplandia allow data centers to skip the line and "plug in" to power plants directly?
the "more CPUs" approach to AI just got pierced by DeepSeek, why prop up such a wasteful technical base?
Looking for a quick fix for their fast-growing electricity diets, tech giants are increasingly looking to strike deals with power plant owners to plug in directly, avoiding a potentially longer and more expensive process of hooking into a fraying electric grid that serves everyone else.
It's raising questions over whether diverting power to higher-paying customers will leave enough for others and whether it's fair to excuse big power users from paying for the grid. Federal regulators are trying to figure out what to do about it, and quickly.
Front and center is the data center that Amazon’s cloud computing subsidiary, Amazon Web Services, is building next to the Susquehanna nuclear plant in eastern Pennsylvania.
The arrangement between the plant's owners and AWS — called a “behind the meter” connection — is the first such to come before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. For now, FERC has rejected a deal that could eventually send 960 megawatts — about 40% of the plant's capacity — to the data center. That's enough to power more than a half-million homes.
That leaves the deal and others that likely would follow in limbo. It's not clear when FERC, which blocked the deal on a procedural ground, will take up the matter again or how the change in presidential administrations might affect things.
https://www.kvue.com/article/news/nation-world/big-tech-data-centers-power-plants/Monitoring Analytics, the market watchdog in the mid-Atlantic grid, wrote in a filing to FERC that the impact would be “extreme” if the Susquehanna-AWS model were extended to all nuclear power plants in the territory.
Energy prices would increase significantly and there's no explanation for how rising demand for power will be met even before big power plants drop out of the supply mix, it said.
Separately, two electric utility owners — which make money in deregulated states from building out the grid and delivering power — have protested that the Susquehanna-AWS arrangement amounts to freeloading off a grid that ordinary customers pay to build and maintain. Chicago-based Exelon and Columbus, Ohio-based American Electric Power say the Susquehanna-AWS arrangement would allow AWS to avoid $140 million a year that it would otherwise owe.
Susquehanna’s owners say the data center won't be on the grid and question why it should have to pay to maintain it. But critics contend that the power plant itself is benefiting from taxpayer subsidies and ratepayer-subsidized services, and shouldn't be able to strike deals with private customers that could increase costs for others.

https://www.abc27.com/national/man-j...raised-doubts/Chris Gatlin spent 17 months in jail for a crime that an artificial intelligence program said he committed, only to be freed after the prosecutor learned there was no real evidence.
A grainy surveillance photo of an assault suspect on St. Louis’ Metrolink led a computer facial recognition program to identify Gatlin.
Attorney Jack Waldron, with the Khazaeli Wyrcsh Law Firm, is suing on Gatlin’s behalf.
“The first image that popped up was of Chris, my client, and they took it. They ran with it, and they said, ‘This is our guy,’ without doing any other investigation,” Waldron said.
Even the assault victim didn’t initially think Gatlin was the right guy. He warned police about his memory during the photo lineup.The St. Louis County Prosecutor’s Office declined an on-camera interview, but a spokesman told KTVI that prosecutors did not know about the existence of any bodycam video evidence until many months into the case. When they learned about it, the spokesman said prosecutors requested it from the detective and turned it over to the defense. At that point, everyone knew there was no reliable identification and the case was dismissed.

Honestly don't understand why you wouldn't welcome it
I don't understand why you want it instead of the US republic

there's barely any proof that AI leads to measurable efficiencies yet
plus which, it would be stupid to run the government like a business
is there positive a rate of return on any AI investments yet?
honest question
the poll shows bosses are already convinced, but a peek under the hood does not tend to support their confidence

IT decision makers unconvinced of returns from AI investment • The RegisterResearch commissioned by Lenovo which polled nearly 3,000 biz execs and senior IT decision makers, confirmed that quantifying AI's return on investment continues to be one of the greatest barriers to its adoption.
This highlights a disconnect between the ever expanding amounts of cash that companies including Microsoft, Google and others are sinking into AI and pervasive doubts among decision-makers about the technology's value, with 37 percent saying they have reservations about signing purchase agreements.
The report, led "It's Time for AI-nomics," draws its findings from an IDC survey of 2,920 execs and IT decision-makers globally, covering a range of industries from the largest right down to smaller organizations with around 250 employees.
Lenovo claims that most AI use cases have met business expectations, but proving the return on these investments remains challenging, with financial risk and uncertainty cited by those surveyed.
Early successes - we're told - have been in the fields of IT operations, software development, and marketing, with 26 percent of adopters saying that AI projects implemented by their organization surpassed expectations, while another 68 percent say expectations were met.
However, the report also reveals that only 5 percent of respondents have actually adopted AI across the enterprise, with another 25 percent running pilot projects and a further 21 percent describing themselves as still in the early stages.
Nearly half of respondents have yet to adopt AI at all, with 36 percent indicating they plan to start using it within the next 12 months, while a further 13 percent are still at the stage of considering or evaluating it but have no plans yet.
The report also highlights a high number of POCs (proof-of-concept projects) with a poor rate of conversion to production, indicating "a low level of organizational readiness in terms of data, processes, and IT infrastructure."
replacing the professional civil service with AI is gonna be wild
https://www.404media.co/microsoft-st...-unprepared-3/A new paperfrom researchers at Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University finds that as humans increasingly rely on generative AI in their work, they use less critical thinking, which can “result in the deterioration of cognitive faculties that ought to be preserved.”
“[A] key irony of automation is that by mechanising routine tasks and leaving exception-handling to the human user, you deprive the user of the routine opportunities to practice their judgement and strengthen their cognitive musculature, leaving them atrophied and unprepared when the exceptions do arise,” the researchers wrote.

more concern should fall on government and AI
imagine the robber barons had stolen the US government, that's the Musk/Trump junta
Musk is a true technocrat and represents the forefront of a new technocratic form of government that we are hurtling toward at light speed. However, the notion of technocratic governance is simply not on the radar screen of the MSM, various political think tanks, and Congress. In the case of the media, journalists often appear to be enmeshed in worldviews more appropriate to the late 90s than the complex and often baffling world picture we see today. Many articles about Musk focus on such issues as the legality of the Department of Government Efficiency( DOGE) and the serious conflicts of interest that exist. Then, of course, there’s the sheer insanity of handing over the keys to the kingdom to a small group of computer tech bros inexperienced in matters of state who appear to have not been properly vetted or advised of existing privacy law and national security protocols. The idea that these individuals now have access to troves of the personal data of U.S. citizens is simply beyond comprehension. Still, while these are legitimate concerns, the larger implications for technocratic management are getting bypassed.
The advent of the technocratic state poses a clear and present threat to democratic norms. But in the early days of his presidency, Donald Trump has opened the door wide open to its instantiation, first with the public announcement of a $500-billion joint AI development effort with Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and AI frontman Sam Altman accompanying him on stage. I’ve written previously about the lack of technological sophistication possessed by the average member of Congress and how this is a deep concern. This knowledge gap creates a power vacuum that’s being fully taken advantage of by wealthy and powerful unelected technocrats who are at the forefront of accelerationist-style AI development.
At the time the Statue of Liberty was gifted and these words began to be recited as a welcome to immigrants, they were all diverted to Ellis Island (or other vetting facilities) where a determination was made to either allow them to say or deport them. There was criteria for immigrants entering the country.this is a DOGE member
I'm not sure what the poster being a DOGE member (whatever that is) has to do with the point of your post.
before we passed racist immigration laws the states handled it, it's so unsurprising you want the racist immigration laws back
What's racist about what I just said?
