For someone who cares deeply about the future of the company, lining up several significant departures temporary or otherwise on the same dates--including your own--seems the opposite of damage control. I could imagine a parody of the discu

The article's title is terrible. The article itself seems to have all the right pieces but connects them in weird ways. Big tech wants to make AI cost nothing to end-users maybe, but Google and Microsoft want the cost of hosting AI

For some reason I think the title of the article undersells the point, mostly because it sounds amazing if true. I would have preferred the title: "First non-living naturally occurring source of oxygen production known to man discovere

I might be going on a limb here, but none of those answers save one would be interpreted as a "No" in Britain. Brits comment if you please. The save one of those in the list is "“I will consider it in a forward-looking manne
