Just buying things my childhood self would have been jealous of.

2 Liters of Chapman's Premium™ Strawberry Shortcake ice cream.

Senators don't have that kind of power. The constitution's fatal flaw is that it designates the legislative branch to make the laws and the judicial to interpret them, but left both reliant on the executive branch the enforce them. He could certainly try to bring Garcia back but without the executive branch on his side he'd likely get stuck there himself.

Exchange has always been done with IOUs. Even when bartering was the meta they still exchanged promissory notes for larger scale transactions where they didn't have the goods on hand.

Rather than CPUs I think these are a much bigger deal for GPUs where memory is much more expensive. I can get 128GB of ram for 300CAD, the same amount in vram would be several grand.

You're licking the boots of a company that uses the work of others without compensation or credit then sells it back to you at a premium. This is the exact behavior the GPL license aimed to prevent. I have nothing against the technology if it's made with permission and benefits the people it depends on, but that's clearly not the case here.

Ludites are an apt comparison. The Luddites fought to protect their industry from industrialists who aimed to replace them with cheap, low skilled and child labour. The goal of AI isn't advancement it's replacement, and most of the companies pushing it are transparent about that.

You can't larp about using opensource software while creating memes using closed source garbage.

Seems pretty underwhelming. They're comparing a 109B to a 27B and it's kind of close. I know it's only 17B active but that's irrelevant for local users who are more likely going to be filtered by memory rather than speed.

More likely trained to remove all artist credits.

Is hating on the Holocaust hating on the Nazis?

She also wrote some of the tomb raider reboots and was an additional writer on BioShock infinite.
