  • What Musk has done in the last 2 years with Twitter looks a lot like a gangster moving into valuable turf. Granted, he immediately scared off a lot of people but it's still pretty valuable turf.

  • The good news is, with the fed lowering interest rates the cycle of speculation investment will pick right up in a year or two where it left off for a whole 30 months of higher interest. I can't believe they're dropping it so soon, but we can't have unsustainable businesses held to account can we? Better to destroy savers and fixed income elderly.

  • Broken clock blah blah

  • A tax break for "clean energy", "strategic investment corridor" or "self-poweting companies" to reduce the load on the grid (that a few enormous companies like MS are creating) will be written into law, if it isn't already, and it will be a complete tax write-off or something so they get to reap any rewards and when AI hype dies down they'll still have increased profits by reducing taxes. When you win/win by owning the system you just win.

  • "sorry boss, just saw 'restart' and updated the code...that's not going to cause any reactor problems will it?"

  • Because they have real data protections and MS knows it's illegal. Funny how actually enforced regulations protect citizens.

    I think a lot of these companies have been going ham because they know something is coming in the US and they want to do all their pillaging while it's still technically legal and current, monetizable data.

  • Clippy tips.

  • For the most part, defending free speech. It's been watered down to be interpreted as "speech I agree with".

    Polarization fed by poor education fed by poverty in the US over the last few decades has left people believing in false dichotomies; if you're not with me you're against me. See it on Lemmy a lot actually, people being nervous when you don't clearly support or agree with them and then get defensive as they assume you must be "the other" group.

    We live in a world now where money and scale supporting shitty and /or dangerous ideas hardly make it the traditional town square of ideas though. I have my own internal struggles with it.

  • "We know where the are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat." - Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense while being publicly questioned on the validity of claims of WMDs in lead up to invasion of Iraq.

    Rumsfeld of the "known knowns".

  • My running pants/spandex material have a stretchy pocket around the center of the back of the waist. I also hate bouncing while running and I never feel the phone when in the pocket. Still easy to grab, maybe a bit more practice to put back in the pocket but just as easy to take out as a regular side pocket.

  • They supported Iraq invasion in 2003 without evidence when it clearly wasn't valid.

  • I want Elon musk ISP like I want him at my dinner table.

  • What is the impact to dock labor, jobs, etc.? It may be that with increased ability to handle labor hours actually expand as the port handles more, but generally that margin comes from somewhere.

  • Ready player one about covers it

  • This could be written about a number of topics, great article.

  • Or Truth Social LLM is released so you the entire thing is a hallucination.

  • Don't address me informally.
