HI capital (with his connections in particular) will probably get the returns where it already is - building out AI infrastructure (starting with making chips) for which is this is unjustifiable demand still for the next little while anyways.

If every guy who ever had an affair got the sack the churn would be unbelievable

Then perhaps men shouldn't be so weak and stop cheating on their wives.

Marriage is a contract. If you break that contract you need to be penalized.

The spy is more worrying. US Gov and a lot of other big customers would not find that funny at all. I'm still surprised though... he made so much $$$ for everybody. This could be the black swan that brings the long-awaited AI market collapse.

All of summer vacation is about farming, originally

Unless the award is carrots. £1 / lb, all the time.

Was going to say someting similar. It will be like reading reviews for products on company web sites.

"The reason I bought the *insert name of product* was because I heard good things about it. The *insert name of product* has lived up to its expectations. Its *insert product description verbiage from company web site* did what it said it would do, I couldn't be happier. I am so glad I bought *insert name of product*.

No mention of what the product does or how it does it. No feedback on any issues. Just shilling by plopping in the product name and description as much as they can.

Energy is at some point causal, but that doesn't have to mean oil in all cases.

While he obviously has a huge hard-on for Vlad, he's also effectively told him to fuck off too.

You didn't see him ask Congress before reducing sanctions on Russia after all.

Would you like to try again? The orange goon recently said Russia "has been fine on Ukraine" and "hasn't been doing much" to the country. This as Russia deliberately targets civilians.

That doesn't sound like "fuck off".

What it is is a possible contender to claw away at NVIDIA's history-making margins and profits, slashing AI compute cost and resources through efficiency gains. That's a big deal.

Things were "as bad as it gets" toxic in terms of 4chan cretins by 2010 and by 2012 there were obvious signs of nation state activity.

You should have seen the Yahoo! boards in 2014 when Russia invaded Ukraine. The rusbots were everywhere defending the invasion, talking about how WWIII was right around the corner if Ukraine was helped defend itself, how Russia has nuclear weapons (that trope is still ongoing) and so on.

Nation state activity doesn't get more blatant than that.

Pfft, buncha Manga-adjacent animation fans turned around 360 degrees by the anti-AI fad. AI, it's a form of animation. If somebody decided Zombee Lovers 2 was going to just be straight CGI or hand animation nobody would say the cast was "replaced" by animators.

To that point, I used to spend a fair amount of time on salon message boards. It was around the height of gay rights around maybe 2005? I remember scrolling down their page, every single 'story' was on gay rights... I checked, one after another... gay... gay, gay, gay. 30 stories in a row. I'm sympathetic to the issue and not averse to the stories but salon.com actually ceased to function as a general news and politics site.

All news outlets report mostly true facts. The most subjective and important act in writing news or history is deciding which facts are 'newsworthy' and deserve reporting on. Salon decide once and for all what side to take on all future issues a long time ago.

"This is why people who do real work don't take kindly to urban midwits telling them they could be forced to buy electric vehicles instead." I feel increasingly that way about taxpayer-funded oil wars. It doesn't seem like oil needs to be this huge, world-controlling thing of the world any more. With any EV you plug in you car, it drives around, no more gas station any more. It's great. I still use my SUV for trips and towing but those are luxuries, I do because I want to, I don't have to.

Those personal devices, which won't have any government info on them, may be to blame.

If you truly believe that, seek a mental health professional.
