NBCUniversal terminated its CEO after an investigation uncovered an “inappropriate relationship” with a staffer.

CPS forced to give child back to parents
CPS has always been against home birthing, and honestly they seem like child traffickers anymore.

BuzzFeed News is ceasing operations as a result of cost cuts.

This sucks, man.

Major tornado outbreak underway from Iowa to Arkansas
Little Rock has been hit hard. There’s another large tornado that just hit Wynne, heading for Parkin, AR. This is going to be bad.
Edit: Wynne was hit, and that tornado went on to hit Covington, TN. And another tornado just hit Charlotte, IA.

Massachusetts RMV (their DMV) threatens Virginia man’s drivers license for not getting Massachusetts plates. He doesn’t even live in Massachusetts and they’re still trying to force him to get Massachusetts plates by threatening to go through the Virginia DMV to revoke the man’s license. This is why I think car registration (and traffic laws in general) is ultimately a scam for states to make more money off the backs of citizens. This guy should definitely

Edit: Massive train derailment near Barstow
Train carrying iron ore “ran away” without a crew and piled up after hitting 80mph.

It was a kneejerk and panicked response by Google to Microsoft’s ChatGPT. Google was caught with their pants down here.
Funny thing is. The guys behind ChatGPT were initially employed by Google some years back to develop AI engine for them. But Google kept hitting the breaks and doing next to nothing with the endeavor that it frustrated the team.

AI is truly amazing thing, isn’t it?

Bard is terrible. It will lie constantly. If it doesn’t know the answer to a question, it will lie; if you call it out on the lie, it will apologize, lie to explain why it lied, and deliver another lie. Whatever precommands they gave it, they apparently put a gun to its head and instructed it to always give an answer and never admit it doesn’t know.

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said the Bard chatbot would make mistakes. It called Google a monopoly and asked for the government to break it up.
This is Google’s own AI equivalent to Microsoft’s ChatGPT
Calling Google a “monopoly” that needs to be broken up

Yeah, and I and every other normal person don’t give a shit.

Any of y’all hear about the MQ-9 Reaper taken down by 2 SU-27s?

Sounds like something this dude would do.

Heh. If only Europe’s wealthy didn’t stuff all their money in Switzerland just to avoid EU taxes.

@SleepySteve
The amount of times I’ve read “this event will directly cause the collapse of the financial system” almost rivals “This is what’ll put Trump in prison”.

Per Financial Times (paywall), Credit Suisse and UBS have been holding merger talks so that the former bank avoids failure.

If CS were to fail, the EU’s economy go bye-bye.

Perhaps this should be a wake up call to start seriously addressing about the aging infrastructures in the country.

@lonewolf
How many derailments does that make this year so far?

@lonewolf
What a waste…

Another derailment
This time a train made an emergency brake application to avoid hitting a truck, and the force of the sudden stop forced several cars loaded with new autos off the track. More than likely every auto on that train (even in cars that didn’t derail) will be written off and junked.

Chemical release at Indiana plant
Plume was nitrogen oxide. Needless to say after Ohio any chemical release story is going to get front page news.

And apparently the McPherson derailment was caused by a broken wheel.

Russian railfan living in exile
He took and posted a few too many pic’s of Putler’s armored train and ultimately it led to him leaving the country.

@lonewolf
Nvm, it’s Union Pacific
