I try to maintain my “better late than never” attitude but it’s pretty fucking late.

Love (sarcastic) seeing podcasters who spent years fluffing technology billionaires do emergency podcasts to decry the actions of the administration they helped put in place.

Oh but there are so many to choose from! Orchids, passion flowers, every shape and color. I love them all.

Tesla throws in the towel on car sales You need to spend money to make money.

his sycophants genuinely have no idea that they're lemmings following a mad piper off a cliff

his fifth-place racist chatbot is a money pit and there will be no successful major automated taxi launch or commercially available humanoid robot, only pain

I mean, by the numbers, Gen X is about 50% assholes, which resonates with my experience.

It used to be less than that but we lost some of the good ones early.

Don’t talk to me about Gen X, I had to grow up with those assholes.

Gen X was the last generation where it was generally accepted that parents should beat their children.

Just saying.

Any company that has lashed itself to OpenAI deserves what it gets. There has never been a more obvious scam in the history of technology.

If OpenAI crashes and takes Oracle with it, that would be a wonderful day.

I feel like when someone has a history of documented lies to the press, going back years, the press should maybe mention that every time they talk about him.
