Stand up for Egyptian sovereignty? The U.S. unseated the UK as one of the dominant forces in the region and controlled the Middle East ever since. I suppose installing el-Sisi is also an example of protecting Egyptian sovereignty: https:&#

Part of that comes from Microsoft API deals. Part of that will most certainly come because the vast network of companies buy subscriptions to help "Open" "AI" [1]. Given the rest of circular deals, I'd also scrutini

He is the GOAT of LLM MVPs. That is educational and useful, especially because he uses a minimal and clean style, but I don't see how it even compares with kernels, operating systems etc. So I appreciate his work in an academic and edu

At the end of 2023 the Nasdaq 100 was 15000, now it is 24200. The economy was better in 2023, before this "AI" nonsense and all the layoffs began. The bubble is more isolated than in 2000. If "AI" crashes, tech companies
