Reminds me of the double decker COUCH used in the submarine rescue in the Lego movie…

Nothing I enjoy more than cooking for family. I think my far more talented mother is like this.

Love it. And being present for the dog is 👌 got some photos at a funeral recently and it’s funeral first, photos second.

The “greatest generation” where I’m from were apartheid, racist, homophobic, white South Africans. Off they went to fight in Europe to return to SA to do what? Oh you thought Musk’s Nazi loving grandparents who emigrated to SA were not like other white SAns of the time? The AWB was a foil for many.

Comingle seems to be a Better Than None At All idea. It’s more like micro-loans eg Kiva. Agreed UBI should come from much deeper and broader pockets like government and ultimately free, and trust, people.

NEW: Apple CEO, Tim Cook, arrives at the White House with a 24 karat gold gift for Trump.

When the history books are written, these compliant, knee-bending billionaires will be excoriated. They will be labelled co-conspirators.

I think we should be honest that the *Greatest Generation* people [who were white] fought fascism ABROAD while they overwhelmingly supported fascism AT HOME. And frankly, those chickens have come home to roost now.

Which is not a reason to reject $50/w UBI. UBI is usually a supplement not a replacement. It can be the difference between struggling and thriving, it can be a force for choice.

No. You can have faith and not hurt or restrict others.

Saw a bottle of raw milk in South Africa recently. Stupidity is contagious. I don’t want you to die though, you probably have innocent kids.

I mean this is the country that rebranded French Fries to Freedom Fries for awhile… Pasteur discovered the principle of vaccination too, we’re ok if you rename them Freedom Vacations and millions more of you live.

The sinister one.

Yeah, posted this today bsky.app/profile/paul...

Or when kids are shot in schools or can’t afford life saving medicine or when they’re the wrong colour and get deported or…

Photograph of a page in a cookbook showing two recipes. The top one is named "Joubert's Despair", the recipe below is named "Marshmallow Delight".

Herewith my expression of deep respect and admiration for the unknown editor of the Housewives' League of South Africa Cookbook (published 1950), for their sterling comparative work on page 54.
Also, many thanks to Mrs. R. Joubert, for providing another variant of her despair.

Leaked ChatGPT Conversations Show People Asking the Bot to Do Some Dirty Work Some questions should not be answered.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you probably shouldn't dump your deepest fantasies onto a chatbot servers owned by (at best) amoral assholes in a country too corrupt to pass a baseline internet privacy law

Economic commentator on radio bemoaning South Africa not doing any dealing with Trump on tariffs.

But we've seen it doesn't matter what you do.

Brazil (defiant) and India (appeaser) both got 50%. EU "worked a deal" of 35% which would kill us as surely as 50% would.

Is the idea to prove this in the USA and then make it available to be run in other countries? Could have huge impact in South Africa.

We agree there :-D

Also one is a public for-profit company and the other is a private non-profit. Their products are very different too, easier to say FSD or RoboTaxis or Optimus or Roadster weren't delivered as promised but GPT 5? They keep releasing model "improvements" just labelled differently.

I'm so confused who to support.

I dunno, Altman big on AGI, super intelligence, curing cancer, and solving all physics… TSLA just BSed about silly things like self driving cars and humanoid robots.

We've lost the plot.

Valuations are dumb but TSLA at least turned a profit (with credits and subsidies and poor labour conditions) for awhile. OpenAI is further from turning a profit than Musk is from repopulating the (white) Earth.

Sigh. I wish someone had told me I could cash out of the non-profit I work for... OH WAIT!

And they’ve previously sent me lots of email to the custom address. They’ve obviously “upgraded” some internal system and added a dumb email address REGEX… so now they have two problems.
