I disagree. Online mainstream media seems to be operating like a polarizing algorithm, focusing on maximizing the engagement. And more traditional media is following that as well, since this is now the mainstream.

The media wasn’t talking about that, it was repeating in a loop: “The economy will be better with Trump”, including the media in the far left.

That money and power doesn’t seem to be willing to move towards centrists policies. And there is a lot of power in the president, considering how unstable the world is the most likely scenario now is further consolidation of that power. And

Just in case, for long term safety reasons I’d suggest avoiding powering AI with Nuclear Energy. A dependency on sunlight is a good incentive to keep the atmosphere in a good condition.

The question is what is the business model and who pays for it, that determines how much advertising you’re getting. It is not clear if OpenAI could compete in Ad-supported search. So maybe OpenAI is trying to do the basic research, outcomp

Wait until Trump is in power and corporations are masterfully using these tools to “mow the grass” (if you want an existing example of this, look at Putin’s Russia, where people get jail time for any pro-Ukraine mentions on social media).

Agreed, but what’s done is done. Many organizations were making weird calls at the chaos of the moment. It’s good to give a slap on the wrists and establish boundaries. But at some point, there is such thing as forgiveness. And it’d be terr

I’m a bit surprised Google is still serving at Russia, are they doing it to avoid loosing browser and search market share? They could not be making any money on advertising there, I assume?

That’s not the point. My point was primarily that there is a need for competition to Tesla. It’d be not a good place to end up being hostage to Musk (or Trump) whims and depend on them to keep lights on for Starlink or ability to put satell

To me it looks like this is simply New York Times that is into unraveling OpenAI’s and Microsoft dirty laundry for fun and profit. It’s funny they’ve quoted “best bromance”, considering the context.

The tragedy of MAGA is that this is the tragedy of the commons in an adversarial setting, where some members are actively trying to destroy the commons to gain political power. Add to that foreign power interference to finance helpful idiot

Is there anything positive at all in the Crypto industry? CO2 emissions, fraud, attacking democracy is on the negative side. What’s on the positive? Why is it still legal? It feels like Crypto at the systemic level is an open vulnerabili

So far, there was a trend, if you dig and look where far right money was coming from (Truth Social, Brexit, etc) it was invariably coming from proxies of Putin or useful idiots. If you notice, Trump had started collecting large amounts of m
