Does it really take an entire article to explain how Thiel, like so many before him, has simply been corrupted by wealth? His choice of topics to obsess over seems pretty arbitrary to me.

All it took was for one psychopath to find his way into office. Who knew?

He didn't even assert that the shooter was MAGA, only that MAGA did their best to distance themselves from him.

MAGA did, in fact, do their best over the weekend to cast the shooter as anything other than one of them. Comments made in poor taste? Maybe? Not really? No poorer taste than the president saying on Fox & Friends that he "could

What did he do? Quotations and direct sources please.

Yes, I agree. So let it be business then instead of explicitly making it ideological?

You don't have to disregard what Kimmel said, because he hardly even said anything. Relevant portion is the first 8 mins of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j3YdxNSzTk What, in the clip, could reasonably b

How did Kimmel endorse the shooting? Make an argument. Show me where and how he endorsed the shooting.

Lol, yes. I don't want one thing, therefore I must want the complete opposite. Can you imagine for a second that I just want for the things people say to actually be consistent, rational, and defensible? No, I hate far-left talking h

Call me old fashioned, but I do expect for things like this not to happen in an open, democratic society whose founding document explicitly declares free speech to be sacrosanct. Update: "things like this" is meant to refer to t

I believe this is the clip in question? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j3YdxNSzTk As much as I can tell, they're mad because Kimmel pointed out a couple of instances where Trump seemed to care more about his new ball

I'm glad to see people following their instinct to de-escalate. Kudos.

Why wouldn't the Intel stock purchase just be effectively throwing away $9 billion? Do they think Intel is suddenly going to start running their business in a drastically different way?

And 100% of voters in Mississippi voted for the representatives currently in the legislature?

The thing is, people also dislike natural language for its ambiguity. That's why we invented things like legalese and computers; to get more reliable results. There will always be a need for that.

I'm not usually a fan of progressive politics, but I thought Bernie Sanders made a great point the other day when he simply asked why adoption of AI would lead to layoffs instead of a 4-day work week. I don't think the question is

I wish more people would realize this. There is no plan behind what he is doing. The only thing that guides him is his psychopathic impulse to do harm.

Would be helpful to know why you think this. Even if there are common reasons that others could point to (and please don't; it won't be helpful), your comment doesn't make any sense without that context.

I have to agree. That's one of the dangers of today's world; the risk of believing that we never had a better one. Yes, the altruism of yesteryear was partially born of convenience, but it still existed. And I remember people a

This part struck me: "boosts data transmission and data processing speed, especially in AI applications" How is this better for "AI" than it would be for any other general computing task? Looks like the AI-crazed execs h

As a thoughtful person, you've got to learn to curb your instinct to make sense out of things like this. It's a waste of calories.

I've been getting the same thing at my company. Honestly no idea what is driving it other than hype. But it somehow feels different than the usual hype; so prescribed, as though coordinated by some unseen party. Almost like every out o
