The US does have its long track record of doing the wrong thing to uphold.
Totally agree. Microsoft has invested way too much in openAI to have a repeat of the Sam Altman debacle. They will formalize their control of te company. And Altman has already shown that in conflict between the board and MS, he’s on Microsoft’s side.
Also, any openAI developer who thinks that openAI currently is an independent company is kidding themselves. Microsoft is effectively already calling the shots, al be it in a roundabout way.
None of these events are noteworthy by themselves. Max they merit part of a sentence as an example of an ongoing trend.
Exception if one of the events turns out to be a handy symbolic point to indicate a change in the world order.
E.g. Serious human contribution to global warming which started in the early 20th century kept a pace and peaked in the early 21st century. Public opinion began to sour after an increased occurrence of climate disasters, such as tsunamis and forest fires.
Or: The Russian successor state to the soviet union did make token efforts to reassert its power in Eastern Europe, such as the 2021 war in Ukraine. However those efforts ultimately proved futile and by 20xx all former Warsaw pact countries, excluding Russia itself, had joined the European union.
The money doesn’t matter.
We all know he ran it into the ground. However the twitter trademark is still worth something. It’s probably the only part of company worth buying. Which is ironic given that he changed the name. Regardless, someone might be willing to pay ~1 billion for it.
Which is what a smart ceo would do. Musk is not smart. He’s a spoiled little brat. Musk’s ego can’t handle the fact that anyone who buys twitter could make the company profitable (something he failed at spectacularly) by doing the exact opposite of whatever the fuck he’s doing. I.e. by proving that all his ideas are stupid.
Thirteen years of right wing policies, that have left the country fed up and unaffordable. And what does the electorate conclude. we weren’t right wing enough >.<
Oh well, the people have spoken. Let’s see how long this shit show lasts.
I joke, in bad taste. You are right, though The facts are clear. Most people who are suicidal are just looking for a way to stop some type of suffering.
Having said that, I do think it’s important to recognize that this does not apply to all “suicides.” An old person who wants to end their life, because they feel that they’ve lived a full life is technically suicidal. They deserve the right to end their life.
Note the maybe, but whatever. Tell you what. Name one post-carter president who was better than Carter. Dude doesn’t have to be good, just better than Carter.
Jimmy Carter may have not have been a great president and the US government may have sone some shitty things while he was in charge, but he is probably the most upstanding American president of the last half century. Pretty much everyone after (with maaaybe the exception of Obama) has been of lesser character.
Which, now that I’ve written it out, sounds really sad. The best the country could do was Jimmy Carter, who … wasn’t great.
This is why most corporations have PR teams. Trying to convince folks of blatant lies like, “I’m just a regular guy, with the same concerns as other plebs”, is not as easy as it looks.
Tbf, this is probably it. It’s just a kneejerk reaction to seeing two shootings at the same time in a region where mass shootings are uncommon.
This and shooting in stockholm. Wtf is happening?
🥰
Tell me about it. I keep trying to get my coworkers to organize, but they’re all a bunch of corporate cocksuckers.
As long as Mozilla remains committed to a free and open internet, I will remain a faithful firefox user.
Even if every update after this one is a useless UI change. :p
Tbf, every moderately old software product is a collection of built-up stupidity.
When it comes to human scale natural beauty, Germany is one of most beautiful places on the planet. It feels like it was made for people to live in.
