Thanks Mac

Great set of memes!
Apparently the Democrap TDS ninny party would rather see all the world get nuked than to take a stand against Iran along with the straight-thinking civilized world.
As for what Rod Serling said, that's what me dino has tried to scream about the treason committed by Puppet-In-Chief Biden's handlers' flooding the USA with illegals since day one.

Could LLM be an intentional way to raise funding by displaying an application with widespread use?
Independent robotics will require more complex abilities.

There's a famous Abe Lincoln quote about quotes, "I never said half of those things attributed to me. They're mostly by Mark Twain, H. L. Mencken, Winston Churchill, or W. C. Fields."

Great Stuff.

The last one hits home as I get ready to collect.
And as I study the rules, the RMDs (required minimum distributions), etc.

You realize it's all designed to PREVENT the next generation from retiring without the government.

Imagine if I could take the RMD, pay a NOMINAL 5% tax (not affecting MY income tax), and TRANSFER it to a TRUMP Account or my Childs IRA/401(k). So it could grow for them.

Let that sink in. When I die, if I have $ 1 million in retirement (IRA/401k), it transfers. They have 10yrs to EMPTY the account, AND they have to follow the RMDs if they applied to me.

But imagine if they could OPT to add it to their retirement instead, and pay the nominal 5-10% tax without affecting their "INCOME" and driving them into a much higher tax bracket. A bracket that quickly PREVENTS them from using a ROTH IRA.

We literally PUNISH Saving. We do everything to PAY the government, or force the next generation to RELY on the government.

Also, imagine if this were setup this way, how many more people would actually start saving more (and sooner) for their own retirement, KNOWING it would help their children.

Finally, for all of those parents who bought their children their degrees in the last 10+ years. If you cannot afford to retire now... Was it worth it? Where would you be TODAY, if you had invested that money in a tax deferred account instead? (Worse, MOST of your children would likely be BETTER OFF and BETTER PEOPLE... Had they NOT went to university... Sad to say).

Pay attention to who is hyping that claim: those with a vested interest in people believing their product is so powerful you need to buy into it. And pay attention to their hiring. If their product met their hype they would be shedding their developers, but the opposite is true.

I agree with the loan/grant elimination aspect, I have been saying that for decades. However the “AI” thing .. the answer is anything.

There is a large gulf between what the current beliefs around so-called AI does and can do and the reality of what is called AI.

To be up front about it, I work with LLMs daily as a significant part of my job. I am deeply familiar with them, their failings and capabilities. I develop tools for them. The reality of them is nowhere near the hype.

A simple analogy to explain it is: picture a two year old who somehow can access and read the Encyclopedia Brittanica. There is no understanding, no thinking. LLMs are models of language, they essentially work by predicting what comes next based on what is in the training corpus.

So no, they won’t replace actual education or learning. In fact I am increasingly of the opinion that the almost singular focus on Large Language Models as “AI” is setting back research into actual AI back perhaps a decade or more.

The democrats can't go anywhere...
The Rhino's need them to explain why they keep BENDING Americans over...

There is an old sayings in the Auction Business.
It takes 2 bidders to have an auction, and only 1 to have a Theft!

Great Stuff...
As for getting second looks, and potentially having the police called while shopping....

Buy a baby bottle, some formula, a pacifier, benadryl, DUCT TAPE, and Chlorophyll in a single visit. (Outside of DC, LOL)

Certainly something for everyone with this grouping.

LOL, #1 starts it all off with a bang! All good ones. Thanks Dobrien!

Fifth from the end is sad but true as I heard many reports of this over the radio. The war between good and evil is heating up and evil all over the world is showing us what it is and who is under its dominion.

Thanks!

LMAO uh-huh! It looks like the folks in the last meme picked up a little bit from the first meme. Fifth from the end: Please don't give those control freaks any ideas! Love the muscle car shutting down the Star Wars speeder! Did you get the label on those beer cans - I can't make it out, LOL? Farewell handshake from Putin! Looking at the Nordic countries today I figure the Vikings are all gone.

Great job OUC!! Thanks again for a great start to my day!

Bama has its blind as a bat unMAGAnetted pockets but currently
enough MAGA voters to keep it being led well.

Liked “Anywhere else,” too.” But unless you are a MAGA person, please stay away from Indiana. We like our red state just the way it is.

Oh GREAT! got a large amount comin, just my luck

Me dino really liked "anywhere else," the 60 cantaloupes what I'd call a big time emergency need for not just a bigger but for a gargantuan mental hospital for far too many jackass party doofus dingbats gone way too far over the top.

Apparently the Bank of England is ashamed of Churchill and is removing him from their currency.

And the British global system with it . . .

Never thought of a CD of Churchill's speeches. I'll check it out. Thanks. Oh, I added to my other post regarding Churchill. I did a search on the quote and it seems he didn't say it.

Addendum to above. My thanks to JakeORilley's post, which made me do a bit of searching on the Churchill quote meme, as I admire Churchill and endeavor to get things correct concerning anything I may say on the subject. When I saw the meme I figured it was true because I've seen the quote a long time ago and I recall it was attributed to Winston Churchill way back when. Although it is plausible that Churchill could have said such a thing, I can find no evidence that he did and I should have checked it myself before posting my response referencing it. Apparently this quote and its supposed attribution has only been around for about 10 years and Churchill passed in 1965. Hey, if I screw up in the Gulch, I'll fix it in the Gulch, LOL! It's still a good saying and thanks to Dobrien for posting it - he warned us a long time ago he doesn't have time to research every interesting meme and we need to read them with some thought of our own.

I was agreeing with all of them - and then got to Churchill. I have read many of his books, and a couple of his biographies and had not run across that one.

Had a CD that my dad had given me of his speeches (lost in a move) and just hearing him speak was chilling. Especially in the dark days while England was standing alone.

Was wondering if the US Military (number 3) was ever going to be respected again. Glad to see that we are. And agree completely with 7 - almost the entire world is standing with us! Except the US Media and the US democrat party.

Am in agreement with the long range storage of wealth.
Always was curious as to how much coinage was below spot - but that makes sense.

All excellent points Commander.

I have been doing the same, as far as purchasing and holding, with the idea of it going to the children. And I believe that they have proper values. USAF -

I do have to get back to where it is a bit every month.....

I've got the New Hampshire one and a couple of others.
