Released in 1996 as the second single from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, “1979” became the Smashing Pumpkins' biggest American hit, reaching No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on both the Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts. The album was eventually certified 10× Platinum in the United States. “1979” was almost left off the album: producer Flood gave Corgan a final deadline to complete the unfinished song or remove it from the record. Corgan went home, finished the lyrics that night, and returned the next day with a new demo that convinced Flood to keep it. Billy Corgan wrote the track as a nostalgic reflection on adolescence and the transition into adulthood. Although the title refers specifically to the year Corgan was 12, the song is less a literal autobiography than an idealised reflection on what it felt like to be young.

A Texas father who had lived in the U.S. for 25 years with no criminal record was finishing his night shift as an Uber driver when immigration agents detained him. Without being able to speak to his lawyer or a judge, he was put on a plane and sent first to Ghana, a country where he had no ties. He was then sent to his home country, despite a determination by a U.S. immigration court judge that he could not be deported there due to likely persecution. cbsn.ws/3Ude66r

banned for reverse engineering work? that’s wild oh well, -$500, and a bunch of banked resets) but gained motivation to get 3 more machines and finish my cluster. i have never used openai to exploit or find vulnerabilities, only local reverse engineering which tripped daybreak.

imagine a fully integrated AI future where being banned means you are now economically useless. everybody around you is a superhuman living in the future but you violated TOS and now are cut off. your smart glasses that showed you a beautiful utopia? the color has left them. you are forced to live in a bleak gray world. you are forced to look your wife in her actual face and she is not happy with you. you are digging holes with a spoon while everybody else is building skyscrapers with an army of bots. this is the real doomer catastrophe open source is the only way to protect your freedom, your economic viability & your ability to tell these companies to fuck right off. a few months ago openAI and anthropic were desperately begging the admin to make it legal for them to collaborate. if they got their way, one TOS violation on either platform would send you directly to the sunken place.
