We have 3 Teslas in our family. They are good cars. But, we bought them before Musk went insane. We are not likely to ever buy another Tesla. We are not in need of another vehicle anytime soon. Hopefully by the time we do, some other viable options will become available.

If the country ever started allowing the Chinese EVs in, that might just doom the doom the ICE makers for good.

Estimated OpenAI revenue for 2025: $12.7b
Estimated loss for 2025: $9b
Estimated spend commit so far: $1.4 trillion

What is another $10b.

"The report notes that this deal helps strengthen Cerebras' IPO prospects."

That all checks out. It doesn't have to be real for the grift to work out. What is another card to house of cards.

> He's not wrong. The birthrate is plumenting.

And is that a bad thing? How many people can this planet comfortably support without it all turning to shit? At our current population rates, we are burning more oil and spewing it in the air for others to breathe, faster than ever before. And that is just one example of many. People are living longer. Way longer than before. Why would we want billions of additional people piling on to the planet?

I do not know what the correct number of people this planet can currently support. At least with our current state of tech. But 8.3b seems to be more than it can handle. When the technology improves and we could live more sustainably, then perhaps it could support more.

but ends in a stampede. Some people are going to be left holding the bag... of manure.

OpenAI is projected to have a revenue of a little less than $13B in 2025. That is revenue. Not profit. They didn't have a profit for this year, but instead had a loss of $16B. Their spend commitment is $1.5T!!!!

This lunacy is not limited to OpenAI. People have lost their collective minds. This is not going to end well.

Some of these cameras baffle me. Sigma's new BF camera is expensive at $2000. It does not offer any new features over its predecessors. It takes away features. Its main selling point is simplicity. Well, we already have cell phone cameras for that. I fail to understand the target market. Somebody jokingly said that it is an expensive camera for people who hate photography.

We need to know that our equipment will work in the extreme north if we have to chase some holdouts and rebels there. /s

> Imagine if Obama did this same thing to white people.

The screaming and shouting from MAGA would be deafening. Oh Trump did it to white people? Sheeeet. That's a nothing-burger!

Orange man says. Buy and burn oil instead. Good for your health.

> BRICS will acccccccidentally be dropping and towing anchors EVERYWHERE

Under sea cables are not a new thing and have been around a long time. Some do get cut accidentally. But there is no evidence to support the claim that BRICS are colluding to cut all under sea cables. People live in metaphorical glass houses. If you throw a rock at someone else's house, they might overreact and bulldoze yours.

As others have pointed out, you cannot rely on this data for anything meaningful. You could lay people off for any reason and blame it on AI, or lay them off because you think AI would do their work but use a completely different excuse.

This is a good example of completely pointless legislation that adds to the red tape problem.

> Armed federal agents wearing masks who refuse to identify themselves

It would not surprise me if some of these goons have the "Don't tread on me" flags on their private vehicles. They themselves are the threat they were warning us about.

Microsoft has known about the issues with power draw during sleep for many years. Linus TechTips on YouTube even did a name and shame episode on this issue a number of years ago. It got Microsoft's attention. They said they would work on the problem. But the rot must have been very deep. Issues persist to this day. Microsoft has created a monster that they do not know how to control. And they appear to be making things worse as of late with their forced AI tools.

> Even idiots knew their limits in the "good old days" before social media.

Now idiocy is glorified. Now if someone doesn't like what you said and expresses desire to punch you in the face, we consider them presidential material.

We are in deep decline.

>> once the cost of the tariffs are passed on to the consumer

> Still waiting for that, huh?

Honest question. Are you expecting other countries to pay the tariffs?

Agreed. I cashed out all of my investments.

The president of US is asking his own DOJ to give him $230m using taxpayer money because of emotional toll from having lost the 2020 election and various other BS things. There are no parallels to this. Every day I wake up to find out a new massive screwup at the national level. How can any govt. be so destructive to their own country?

We are thoroughly screwed. MAGA wanted to screw over the libs. But they have no idea of the destruction they have unleashed on the American public. When shit hits the fan, they, many of them poor and uneducated, will be first to feel the pain. Farmers who voted overwhelmingly for Trump are already there.
