Do you know many people who'd be willing to risk their life to give the Sinaloa cartel a bad yelp review?

This is the company that had a "recycling mode" that did nothing but brick the hardware, then leave a message with the user to dump it onto an unsuspecting recycling center to deal with the now useless lump of plastic. Fuck '

This assumes that the AI bros care about building useful products. They don't for the most part, they care only about building a startup that can plausibly get VC funding. So what if in five years your LLM on the blackchain app fails,

I know what you mean, its the same reason I do not have a kindle or buy e-books in general: With a physical book I take the time to sit down and read what is written, but on a screen I find myself skimming through to get the key points. Som

Its genuinely incredible that we are more than 20 years since the takeover of HTML from the W3C and there isn't anything in the browser approaching even one tenth of the capability of XForms. I wish the people behind this initiative lu

Assuming that Bitcoin is still 100k per coin in 100 years time, a ludicrous suggestion considering its history, we'd have roughly 0.0125 degrees warming, its generating around 98 megatons of CO2 emissions at the moment. Are you going t
