What the actual fuck is this?

Corporate Hunger games?

The thing is, getting this kind of exception doesn't happen even when 5 million people sign a petition. The government is ruthless. Usually.

Yet here we are, a 79-year old got it. Usually you need the situation on national news before the relevant authorities would even begin to consider granting such an exemption. So the users of the program are never anonymous. They need to be exposed to the media in order to get it.

Yet here we are, a "random" 79 year old got it, and that's all we know about them. So thinking the "random" person coincidentally the same age as Trump isn't most likely to in fact be Trump is definitely not a stretch.

Surely a random 79 year-old from from North Korea is equally as likely to be the recipient of this as arguably the most powerful man alive, and unarguably in the country where it's happening.

Yup. Government has businesses by the balls.

But corruption exists.

Therefore the goverment only ever really pulls small businesses and normal people by the balls, while the big businesses and uber rich (money heavyweights) get to pull the government by the tongue. Sometimes even the balls as well.

Just as Supply Side Jesus intended.

AFAIK "congressman" isn't a protected class. And he'd most likely like to get rid of the others.

This gives me hope for America.

Why am I not surprised such a creature was found in Australia of all places?

You're probably thinking (rightly) of this type of tractor. However, the cabin unit of a truck is also called a tractor.

Searcing for the Jiefang J6p yields results of the latter type.

Don't forget the terrorist Doctors without borders!

And the terrorist Nobel prize comitee that dared honour them!

It's sad that this is the case, but the european zionist politicians (especially german ones) might just get on board with easing sufferring just a bit if this is the selling point.

And while that's far from an ideal solution, a win's a win, no matter how small.

I can remember my own coversations myself, thanks.

And what I feel I might both need and forget I'll write down Either on the phone or using pen and paper.

Come on.

Offline-only is privacy-respecting. Accessibility is a noble goal.

All in all, if there's an AI usecase that's as morally acceptable as it gets, it's this one.

I get that it's Ubuntu of all people, but even Big Tech produces some ideas every now and then that FOSS lovers can get behind and democratize!
