The arrogance in this statement, lol. :)

I mean sure, I get it, but what I dont get is why a company would have paid engineers working on a product and give it away for free if that's their only income stream? How will they pay their engineers? Pay for office space? Make a profit?

It's funny that people expect free stuff but complain when their data is being sold to ad agencies. :)

Like, shit, why can't I sit here on my throne and have companies give me free stuff and maybe I will decide to use it from the kindness of my heart. :)

    Musk said he would hire an unemployed Jensen so I think there will be some top job lined up for him if he wants to.

    I think it won't be more than a week until we find out what his new position will be.

    All this crap about "cant trust the ceo" will disappear completely. Nobody actually cares about his affair except the media and maybe Nvidia. Even Trump knew about this for a long time. He didn't care either.

    And so far the US intelligence agencies has not provided evidence for this "spy" thing they keep saying.

    This world has some bad people at the top so this is a big nothing burger for them. The epstein crew and all the associates.

    I can tell you why people are annoyed at it. Its because more and more words are ending up being banned or seen as politically incorrect. We had a chocolate ball here in Sweden that was called "negerboll" since negro just meant dark or black. And all of a sudden, it was a bad word and we had to call it a chocolate ball instead.

    Its just one example but the point is, it's a ridiculous trend to ban words just because some people may feel insulted by the word. We have almost banned the word "fat" as well and replaced it with "big boned". Do you understand what I mean? It becomes absolutely ridiculous.

    Its almost as bad now that you can't point out who you mean in a crowd. If you say "the black guy over there", or "the Chinese woman", some people think it's racist. Come on. This is not normal.

    It's hard to know for sure how many cheat, and I suspect the real numbers are much higher than what the statistics say (since people won't always be honest about what they do or did).

    I suspect people are afraid of getting caught, mostly, and I read that most cheating happens when being away on conferences and stuff like that. Whenever there is no chance that anyone else finds out who meets together in a room.

    But yeah, people won't like to think about these things since it's scary as hell if you are being cheated on.

    Thiel was a cofounder of payments group PayPal and Palantir, a defence contractor known for mass surveillance and criticised heavily for its “strategic partnership” with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in its assault on Gaza.

    A leaked schedule for the “retreat” hosted by Dialog, an invitation-only group cofounded 20 years ago by Thiel and entrepreneur Auren Hoffman, featured discussions on topics including preparations for a third world war, battlefield technologies, nuclear energy and cult-building.

    Totally normal, nothing to see here. Just a business meeting!

     

    I was thinking about this. I went to university, and I worked in tech for decades. I met many assholes but I didn't meet anyone that would fit on the left half of the bell curve (less than 100 iq).

    Since I've been living in that bubble my entire life, I'm curious of your stories. Have you met someone who was actually quite dumb (not just having opinions you don't agree with) and do you have an example situation you remember you can share?

    Hopefully this becomes more funny than hateful since intelligence is not the value of a person, but it can be funny to read the stories.

     

    In the motion, prosecutors referred to an officer firing five times, but the document does not mention that officer or any ​other being shot. A spent cartridge was found in the suspect's shotgun, according to Wednesday's motion.

    The document did not accuse Allen of aiming at or ​striking the Secret Service officer who authorities say was shot in the chest but protected by his body armor.

    That contrasts with ⁠statements made earlier by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. It also raises the question of who ​fired the round that struck the Secret Service officer.

    I dont even know if American media is covering this so could be a surprise for people.

     

    The report, which claims that “American ‘black boxes’ failed at zero hour of the attack on Isfahan,” concerns devices that Iran claims either rebooted or dropped offline despite the country having already been disconnected from the global Internet, a fact it says "indicates deep sabotage."

     

    The US stock market is home to the world's biggest companies and has set a series of all-time highs recently despite warnings from the International Energy Agency that the global economy is facing the biggest energy shock in history.

    Its like people are completely asleep to the energy and food crisis that is building up. I guess there has been so many crisis lately they they have stopped reacting.

    If Hormuz doesnt open up, and I dont think it will, there will be a lot of big problems. Probably mostly for Asia and Europe, but im not sure if America will be immune. What if food costs increase? Fuel costs?

     

    Annie Altman accused her brother of sexually abusing and raping her between 1997 and 2006 at the family home in suburban Clayton, Missouri, starting when she was three and he ​was 12. She said the "last acts of sexual abuse and rape" occurred ​when Sam Altman was an adult. He is now 40.

    They always go for the kids dont they. I dont know how credible this Annie Altman is, the family says she is mentally ill. But they would say that, wouldnt they.

    Companies claiming 100% of their product's code is now written by AI consistently put out the worst garbage you can imagine. Not pointing fingers, but memory leaks in the gigabytes, UI glitches, broken-ass features, crashes: that is not the seal of quality they think it is. And it's definitely not good advertising for the fever dream of having your agents do all the work for you.

    This is true in my personal experience too. Its much faster to use AI but it always causes some weird bugs and glitches over time, and duplicated code is common.

    But I think companies will continue to use it, since its still faster than writing code manually. But software quality is going down and is going to be seen as something that can be patched with AI in the future.
