Sometimes if a comment is made while the page is up you’ll see it, but then clicking/touching it shows the comments. Or in a very long reply chain, but again you can click those to expand.

I haven’t heard of anyone seeing them permanently while not signed in.

Like a good DEA agent, he did sprinkle a little real coke on the fake coke to frame it tho

while another “who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024.

So two people.

In the quoted part it only gives the age of the 21 year old, and says when the 19 year old graduated.

Various articles are providing the same info in different ways about them.

Apparently he had an internship at neurolink?

With people like this you just have to get in their orbit and tell them what they want to hear.

Musk has always wanted children to think he’s cool, and he weirdly does a good job of appealing to them. So I guess be as young as possible and tell him his a multi-talented genius and voice of his generation?

Just throw all your integrity out the window basically

Yeah, let me just go buy a couple 5090’s to slap together to run it…

It’s “free” now because users are training it. Once it’s trained it doesn’t matter if the underlying code is open source or not. The companies who own the hardware will start charging for it.

If you want your own you’ll need a massive upfront cost, expensive training that would still take months, and pay for the energy use.

Just because its free on a website now doesn’t mean it’ll always be free

isn’t on a server that it can be remotely deleted from.

The scuttlebutt is all the HR@opm emails are coming from an outside server someone just walked into OPM and plugged into the network lol.

It’s a total shit show

Sign out and you’ll likely see comments from someone you blocked.

If someone you haven’t blocked replies, then you’ll stop seeing the “3 more replies”

“One, a senior adviser to the director, is a 21-year-old whose online resume touts his work for Palantir,” per Wired, while another “who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024.” A copy of the latter’s resume include his summer internship with Musk’s Neuralink, alongside jobs as — we assure you that we are not joking — a camp counselor and bike mechanic.

Although both these tykes are ostensibly poised to rip and tear through America’s federal agencies, Wired declined to name them “because of their ages” — a somewhat baffling choice given that both appear to be of legal age. (And if they’re not, well, that’s a much bigger problem.)

At least the 5th article shitting on wired for not naming them…

But no one else has the names besides Wired?

Like, I agree they should disclose the names, but I don’t understand why no one else can find out who these “kids” are.

There’s already a lawsuit

The new legal challenge comes as the Trump administration has launched a multi-front effort to overhaul how the federal workforce operates, including initiatives to weaken federal workforce protections and to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs, among other actions.

According to the new lawsuit, federal employees in recent days received emails from the email address HR@opm.gov that purported to be running tests for a new “distribution and response list.”

They didn’t even wait for the “fork” email…

The part about metadata showing it’s not coming from OPM but private email servers would come out of discovery on that

He didn’t seize shit…

They made up an email address, claimed it was OPM, then spent an afternoon pretending to be official between that and the fork in the road email.

Apparently from metadata, it’s not even a real email for OPM, it’s being spoofed.

The whole thing is an absolute shit show.

But on the upside all it seems to be doing is delaying the retirements of everyone who was already planning on leaving when trump came back.

They have no idea what a bureaucrat will put up with out of spite, and a large amount of Feds didn’t like their loyalty called into question by some ai slop pretending to be from a federal agency.

Edit:

They sent another last night too, a “FAQ” talking about how you’ll get paid till the end of the fiscal year…

Like government employees aren’t fucking aware we’re on a continuing resolution… There’s zero money to offer here, and a “FAQ” isn’t binding.

That’s not even getting I to how a couple agencies are saying if anyone takes it, they lose the position for good.

Like a 10 person office, if 2 take it, it’s now permanently an 8 person office.

It’s an obvious trick. And all it’s doing is galvanizing the federal workforce

Edit 2:

And if you’re not up to speed, the emails are 100% “written” by the 19 year old using chatbots.

Pretty sure I’ve got Anker cables from when they were the “no name generic” option.

They’re probably the most recommended brand now for all types of cables and battery banks. It’s kind of crazy

It’s insane how many people took that email seriously…

If they could fire a bunch of feds they would, but they can’t so they want to scare them into resigning.

Even when there’s good reason, it’s hard as fuck to fire a fed. Don’t let them get what they want without the fight, because they’ll used the time saved to break more shit.

Cool…

But if you’re done, why are you here trying to convince others to give up?

If it’s too much for you, that happens.

Go check out from politics, dont hang out and tell people it’s pointless to try. Literally no one is happy in that scenario except trump.

The addition of electricity is the only reason anyone calls it scifi

Nothing new about it…

Movies are made in Cali because the first studios didn’t want to pay Edison for his stolen patents on equipment…

So they moved to the opposite end of the country where it was mostly unenforceable, and it didn’t take long till intellectual property was a big concern for them.

Smart people doubt themselves.

Dumb people see that as weakness.

So dumb people often follow someone dumb, or someone that lies constantly.

In this case, both

You shouldn’t assume what position anyone is in.

But historically we know what happens when people resign…

Well, I do at least, are you aware what happened with the KKK in the South and why the majority of Southern politicians went from Black to white?

It wasn’t good for the families of the people who resigned or anyone else of that group.

Musk told him to resign from the FAA in a post on X. Whitaker did just that, leaving his post on January 20.

Stop fucking resigning…

They want people to resign because feds are hard to fire without reasons.

That’s an intentional thing to prevent administrations from politicizing government service. You’re not fighting by resigning, you’re getting out of the way so the fascists get what they want.

While funny…

Every decent person should have left twitter a long time ago

Fuck em, let them have their echo chamber. You’re not “fighting the good fight” you’re giving them a common enemy.

Leave it to just racists and they’ll start fighting over who isn’t racist enough and the movement implodes.

since our modern understanding of the scientific method didn’t really exist back then,

Didn’t exist when Mary Shelly did either…

That’s my point, by it’s very nature “the first scifi” isn’t a fixed date due to scientific advancement.

Agriculture is a science, and it was a bigger deal than electricity when it was new, but we don’t say every story with a plow is scifi anymore.

Hell, look at Jason and the Argonauts using bleeding edge navigation skills to travel to far off lands we couldn’t imagine. The only difference is water instead of space.

This isn’t a new process, we’re talking about where modern humans draw a line that’s been redrawn since the dawn of humanity.
