You mean that company that sued the US government in 2021 because they awarded a lander contract to another space company that was already operating in space?

AI CEOs love grandstanding about universal basic income to ‘offset’ the jobs their tech is vaporizing, but they’re conveniently silent on where the actual dollars come from once the human tax base is gone. Print more money? Good luck with that hyperinflation party. Tax the AI instead? Sure—except now every instance gets valued and levied exactly like an employed human, turning your silicon savior into a fiscal equivalent of the worker it replaced. Congrats, geniuses: you’ve just made AI ‘cost’ as much as it ‘saves.’ Who’s really getting UBI’d here—the displaced coders or the trillion-dollar models?

Canadians will end up paying their own taxes and streaming will become more expensive for all in Canada.

At this point why would you trust Google for anything? They already dropped "Don't be Evil" from the top of their corporate code of conduct. Maybe they just haven't read the ending themselves.

"The use of wood as an energy source is a relic of the past, one that should not be relived if given a choice."

What kind of elitist crap is this? Americans have been burning wood since the first days of the republic, and wood may very well be the only thing some can burn, especially if they have a source and they cannot afford insane oil or gas heating prices. Yeah, and if they can't afford oil, rest assured they cannot afford electric heat, which is often more expensive.

I don't doubt for a moment that there will be a crackling fireplace, recliners, and glasses of a fine vintage wine in elite households.

IBM’s mainframes have powered the world’s largest banks, airlines, and retail giants for decades with bulletproof reliability, built-in high availability, seamless data synchronization, and ironclad transactional integrity that keeps multi-billion-dollar operations running flawlessly—exactly the kind of rock-solid fit Gartner flagged for those big fleets of stable Linux VMs that don’t change much. When trouble hits, IBM’s elite engineers are literally on-call 24/7 and will parachute in to fix your crisis in under an hour, no GitHub tickets or crossed fingers required.

Contrast that with the chorus chanting for Raspberry Pi clusters and open-source stacks that come with zero paid support of the class IBM provides, and zero professional engineers on standby. Open source has its place in hobby labs and scrappy startups, sure, but big business, where millions or billions of US dollars count, isn’t running a charity experiment where volunteer heroes might answer a forum post before the next ice age. So keep mocking the “big iron” dinosaurs while the grown-ups at IBM quietly keep the global economy from imploding.

Bring on the hate. IBM won't be paying attention.

LOL and I thought it was just my feed serving up ads like that!

Just wait until South Africa starts writing their history books with AI. They will be filled will references to how the land was liberated from those evil white farmers wielding assault pitchforks and replaced with ultra successful and just saints, providing today's bountiful cornucopia of plenty.

The number of medical misinformation ads is crazy.

That gas is for sale and use on the free market. If it is available, and as long as it is burned to specification, then who are we to say that one big user is not ok, but thousands of tiny users are fine.

Developers, developers, developers, developers!!! Yeahaw:)):!;!(&5@5@4&!4!!!!!!!!

How about B5: Crusade?

This is the exact same government muscle-flexing Biden’s crew pulled to chill speech on COVID vaccines—coordinated pressure campaigns, flagging “misinfo,” deplatforming skeptics, and leaning on platforms until they folded like cheap lawn chairs (as Zuckerberg himself later admitted under oath). Same intent: intimidate critics into silence.

The only fresh entertainment value here is watching Reddit suddenly discover their spines and “review for legal sufficiency” now that it’s Trump’s DOJ instead of Biden’s. We won’t forget how eagerly they greased those palms and handed over data—or just memory-holed dissent—when the previous admins waved the “public health” flag. Free speech absolutism was always conditional, wasn’t it?

Hypocrisy this blatant deserves a slow clap from the grand jury gallery.

This reminds me of the Bitcoin Faucet and AllAdvantage. All it takes is a shift in demand or technology and suddenly your operating model falls apart. Welcome to the Internet.

Now you can smoke yourself silly.
