I've cancelled long ago. Tried it for 2 months but was a hassle to have to use over VPN as OpenAI is too afraid of Hong Kong and banned us. So, yea no. Not going to pay money for that.

LOL at the "enormous sovereign-wealth fund" comment. No such thing. We finally got one new just a year or so ago and it's miniscule (obviously, as it's new): https://www.chinadailyhk.com/article/3040

Oh please. I am 47 and can't find a job, no matter how hard I try. And I'm in Product (coding is even worse). Ageism in tech is a real thing that's not often talked about.

100% this. In order to become a company leader in Germany you have to do things in a conservative way how 'it's always been done'. Be male, older and have a Ph.D. Just look at an average board of directors and you'll see

Germany getting rid of nuclear power will not make Germany any safer at all. Cattenom and Fessenheim to name just two examples are French power plants within viewing distance of the German border. The latter even having a German name due to

Who says the layoffs wouldn't have happened with the Amazon acquisition? Who says the CEO still had a role to play as Amazon VP and wouldn't have left soon after closing anyway? These acquisitions tend to come with huge layoffs an

Terribly. He insisted on buying my shares back which were worth almost nothing back then. To keep the peace I did. Lost a 100x increase years later. We aren't talking to each other anymore.
