Trump directing the opening of Guantanamo Bay detention center to hold migrants in US illegally
President Donald Trump says he’s directing the opening of a detention center at Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30,000 migrants who are living illegally in the United States.
apnews.com
So we are going to put 30,000 people into a single detention center in Gitmo...? That's a lot of people concentrated into a single detention center.

So now we're building detention camps in Guantanamo. Probably just for the "bad hombres", right?
I still want to understand conservatives, I really do. The lack of any semblance of empathy is something I just can't figure out.
Why is every single one of trumps policies geared towards hurting one group or another? And why does that give you such a rush?

I'd actually love to have them come and try to make an AI that does my job.
I don't know what you do on the daily but I have little reason to doubt you. I do think AI is coming and Its a bit scarry.

Facebook owner Meta to pay Trump $25m to settle lawsuit over ban
The president sued the firm in 2021 over the suspension of his accounts after the 6 January Capitol riots.

I doubt I live long enough to see it, but AI will clearly take over at some point.
For right now, my job is just so variable. I run a huddle every morning and speak, present cases, and answer question for about 30 people who change day to day. AI probably could do that.
Then, I'm in meetings with docs from 8 different hospitals across 5 states, dealing with staffing, interpersonal issues, seeing some patients as a doc myself, computer questions, writing SOPs etc.
Many of the tasks AI could do better. An AI assistant would be awesome. But I would be surprised if they could teach it to deal with all the variables every day to replace me. I think that is decades away.
Well, they may need to have that AI ready to go on February 7th.

Oh, darn, the "Latinos For Trump" arrest turned out to be FAKE. At least it was good for a laugh.

5 takeaways from Trump’s briefing on National Airport plane crash the hill
1. Trump quickly politicizes collision
He knocked his Democratic predecessors, claiming they had lowered standards in aviation safety.
“I put safety first. Obama, Biden and the Democrats put policy first. And they put politics at a level that nobody’s ever seen, because this was the lowest level. Their policy was horrible, and their politics was even worse,” Trump said.
...
Trump’s attacks on Democratic leaders were a reminder that he typically doesn’t react to disasters in traditional ways, and his remarks were in sharp contrast to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s vow that the Trump administration would not “pass the buck.”
2. DEI in crosshairs
The biggest target of Trump’s attacks on Thursday was diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which the president repeatedly claimed had lowered safety standards even as he acknowledged it was unclear who was at fault for the crash.
...
“A group within the FAA determined that the workforce was too white, then they had concerted efforts to get the administration to change that and to change it immediately,” Trump said. “This was in the Obama administration.”
Asked how he could come to the conclusion that diversity played a role in the deadly midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Trump said, “Because I have common sense, OK? And unfortunately a lot of people don’t.”
...
3. Points fingers at helicopter pilots
Trump pointed fingers at the three pilots of the Army’s UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter that collided with the American Airlines jet on Wednesday night. He said that the helicopter didn’t do what it was told just before it crashed into the jet and that it was “a confluence of bad decisions that were made.”
...
He also suggested that the helicopter pilots using night-vision goggles may have been part of the issue with visibility. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who joined Trump at the briefing, shared in a video earlier on Thursday that the helicopter crew was “fairly experienced” and was “doing a required, annual night evaluation” with night-vision goggles.
“It may change your view plan if you do have the night vision,” Trump said. “That would be maybe a reason why you wouldn’t actually see as well where on a clear night, you can sometimes see better without it.”
4. Trump names FAA appointee
Trump, during the briefing, announced he would appoint an acting Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator in the wake of the midair crash.
“I’m also immediately appointing an acting commissioner to the FAA, Christoper Rocheleau. A 22-year veteran of the agency, highly respected. Christopher, thank you very much, appreciate it,” Trump told reporters in the White House briefing room.
...
Former FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker resigned on Trump’s Inauguration Day after he served for just more than a year. Whitaker faced pressure to step down from top Trump ally Elon Musk, who called for him to resign following Whitaker’s comments that SpaceX “launched without a permit,” in reference to two launches last year in Cape Canaveral, Fla.
The FAA administrator is a Senate-confirmed position, sworn in for a five-year term. Whitaker was confirmed in October 2023.
5. No hesitancy to fly
Trump insisted that Americans should not be hesitant to fly in the wake of Wednesday night’s crash.
“No, not at all. I’m not hesitant to fly,” Trump said.
“We have the safest flying anywhere in the world, and we’ll keep it that way,” he added.

Again, wtf is wrong with you people? 60+ people die and your dear leader uses it as a chance to be a racist scumbag. There is not a shred of humanity in that sack of crap. I guess that's why you all voted for him, because he holds your exact same ideals and morals.
I wonder why he's constantly vilifying brown people, using govt. force to round them up like they are sub-human. And telling you that every mistake that's made is because of "woke DEI", without actually knowing any of the facts. Could it be because he wants you to think that minorities just can't be good enough or smart enough to do white people jobs?
At least Hitler waited a month before starting concentration camps.

So are the people screaming about the president's mental decline a year ago gonna speak up now?

Buttigieg fires back at Trump after remarks on midair collision: ‘Despicable’ the hill
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg hit back after President Trump criticized the Biden administration and diversity initiatives in the aftermath of a deadly midair collision outside Washington, D.C.
“Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch,” Buttigieg said in a post on social platform X.
“President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.”
...
Asked how he could know diversity played a role in the crash when he acknowledged that air traffic controllers may not have done anything wrong, Trump told reporters it was because he has “common sense.” Earlier in the briefing, Trump had emphasized a cause of the crash hadn’t been pinned down.
...
“We’ve just experienced a great tragedy, and the President of the United States has already rushed to politicize it — jumping to outrageous conclusions and undermining ongoing investigations. His comments were grotesque and outrageous and he owes the American people an apology,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said.

Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’
The Linux creator is interested in AI, but the hype means he "basically ignores" it.
I feel like it is being oversold based on its potential. There are issues with accuracy that they are running into scaling issues as they have input basically all available text/data that they can get their hands on.
Start asking your ai model of choice questions about something technical that you know well. Unless it is programming, there are still basic mistakes.
