It’s kind of a marvel that we all have the bulk of human knowledge at our fingertips, and instead of noble pursuits we largely use it for social manipulation and power grabs.
I guess there is just more population control in misinformation than there is in curing disease.
So now they HAVE to double down and fund this AI infrastructure, because sunk costs dictate that they can’t admit to a bad decision and hire back the terminated employees.
Just because it’s costly doesn’t mean they aren’t going to push forward with all their might, unfortunately

The current investors are hoping to be rich enough to have their own compound by the time the climate catastrophe gets that bad. By the time they lose money, it will be fairly meaningless. This is why I’ve always hated measuring climate damage in dollars - we can’t measure real world catastrophe against a societal construct
They were wildly disturbed by walking on finger tips (like pretty much every four legged creature), but skipped right over lungs bleeding???
Don’t buy seeds on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, etc - they are so full of scammers that it is impossible to weed out the legitimate sellers from the fake. And if you get fake ones, you may get invasive species that are harmful to the environment around you.
Most places have some great local sellers. But if you’re buying online I would recommend dedicated places like Canada’s Vesey’s Seeds, West Coast Seeds, or the US’s Prairie Moon
Well then we just let them starve and blame them for being homeless.
Educating the kids would be a waste of taxpayer dollars. The only training they need is how to mow the grass around the data centres.
Initially, but the article mentioned they aren’t ruling out real money in future. I think they likely want to get a broad user base first, then start offering the really exciting bets for small amounts of money, eventually leading to larger sums.
I find it problematic that they are using forward PE as a comparison, because forward PE in and of itself is a guesstimate based on numbers a company puts out to attract investors. Sure, they can be audited, but there is plenty of creative accounting done to improve optics
I mean, I agree that the market left fundamentals behind years ago. But when increasing numbers of transactions are handled by robo-advisors all working on similar parameters and institutional ownership is something like 71% of the DOW, can we expect the same result as in 2000?
Billionaires aren’t going to roll over and go bankrupt - they will manipulate the stock market to make it look like the economy isn’t failing. A crash and government intervention isn’t impossible, but I suspect we are already wallpapering over the mess - note that central banks say “markers of recession” rather than “recession”, because then it can’t possibly be real. They would prefer that the 30% of shares owned by us plebs aren’t panic sold so the problem stays invisible, but if it is, they will buy up the shares at a discount and continue to trade them among themselves with fictional dollars that have been loaned into existence.
That must have been really fun! The Toronto zoo has an awards plaque for “Nice Penguin of the Month” and “Naughty Penguin of the Month” which leads me to believe that they must be characters
Plus you don’t need to invest in an expensive charging station. We put a big outlet in our garage like you use for large appliances - it was a fraction of the cost, and the car charges overnight.
That’s very helpful, thank you! I’m going to try for option 1 if I can help it, though unfortunately these cucumbers had a pretty prickly stem last year. At worst, it’s all getting trellised. What would you use for a sling support if they are too far along to un-trellis?
I am having this problem right now. My kids made it rain cucumber, pumpkin, and honey nut squash seeds in the garden. I can’t tell what should have a trellis and what needs to be on the ground
It looks like a felt art project! Yet another reason to conserve the rainforest
The other day, a group of kids were playing road hockey in my neighbourhood. Rather than run them over, I waited for them to pull their nets aside, then drove on. Whether he believes it or not, we can still allow kids to play in the streets. It’s probably safer for them than spending their time with AI search bots.
Lindy, announced that the company moved 100% of its traffic to DeepSeek V4, switching entirely away from Anthropic’s models. DeepSeek V4 proved comparable to Claude Sonnet at a fraction of the cost
They move to a cheaper and shittier AI. The answer is unfortunately not that they re-evaluate human workers and create good employment opportunities
The argument is always that “they’ll have to”. And really, it’s like “Bitch, they don’t care if you live or die. “
We could all be dust mites on the bath mat of some colossal being, and one day we’ll be flushed out in their washing machine
