Their money is now in azure. Os and app suites are a declining business, but they help with azure lock in.

Tim Cook is a greaseball.

Wow he’s had a ton of work.

Musk did not buy this as an investment. He bought it to flip elections and manipulate public opinion.

Tesla is writing him a check that will cover the entire purchase price, and Saudi Arabia and Russia will pay the operating costs.

Active users are what matters; if they lost 75% of their users then I’m paying attention.

Primary elections are how parties change. Primary elections are how the Republican party became what it is today. They are often the highest-leverage vote you can cast if you’re in a solid district.

What happened to brave mister go fuck yourself?

Sounds like Brazil has a law where you need to have a designated point of contact in-country, notified Musk of that, and he refused.

I guess Russia and Saudi Arabia care less about manipulating elections and stoking violence in Brazil than in other countries. Gotta focus.

Yeah, it will be used to “scientifically” entrench discrimination and denial of medical care.

Absolutely nobody is going to benefit from AI except ghouls like Nadella and Altman.

We’re in the sentencing/remedy stage now.

I’m unable to comment further.

Buuuuuuuut…

If the FBI showed up at his office with an arrest warrant you better believe that shit would get fixed in a hurry.

I have never X’d harder in my life

He was exactly the kind of guy who doesn’t get hired any more because companies “know better”.

And stuff gets crappier every year somehow.

I still fondly remember the QA guy on the first consumer electronics project I worked on. He didn’t do scripting or test harnesses or dependency injection, he used the product and filed good bugs telling us what would fuck up our customer’s expectations.

A good QA person helps with product design too if you let them.

Andy B, I’d work with you again in a second.

The only thing he takes seriously these days is ketamine. And he’s bloody serious about that.

The idea that AI is even on the radar of threats to humanity compared to climate change or nuclear war is fucking ridiculous.

You think they give a shit about consistency?

Usually it’s people grabbed from the crowd in Vegas.

Senators don’t give a fuck about their constituents.

Maybe this is different in Rhode Island and Wyoming, but in Cali the Senators don’t even have offices to take your calls if you’re a pleb. It’s like trying to get customer service from Google.

My US rep actually does constituent services and horror meets with non-rich constituents in person sometimes!

I think she’s a her in this case.
