AI bubble is 17 times the size of that of the dot-com frenzy, analyst says A research firm is arguing not just that AI is in a bubble, but that it is 17 times the size of the dot-com bubble.

The AI bubble is 17 times the size of the dot-com frenzy, and four times the subprime bubble, analyst says. It's not just a bubble but an epically sized one, an analyst argues. When it will burst it is going to hit harder for tech sectors especially AI and related compaines and stocks

If women submitting to men was a natural way of being, they would not have needed laws, religion & violence to get them to do it.

The image depicts a red crosswalk light, the light has glowing pictogram of a man standing, the light has fallen from its fixture and hangs upside-down, in much the same way an Italian fascist dictator might have done on April 28th, 1945.

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.

2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

When elected officials aren’t allowed to question those in power, your democracy is in full collapse.

Assemblymember and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani held back by police for trying to question Trump’s ethnic cleansing head Tom Homan. #FuckICE

Elon Musk posted a crazy video about how we have to go through an "extinction event" to become stronger.

That's billionaire speak for "I'm cutting all things regular folks benefit from, but never cutting anything that helps billionaires."

If I'm taking a position as head of the immiseration factory, to crank up the dial that turns suffering into shareholder dividends, seems pretty reasonable.
