Totally agree. Microsoft has invested way too much in openAI to have a repeat of the Sam Altman debacle. They will formalize their control of te company. And Altman has already shown that in conflict between the board and MS, he’s on Microsoft’s side.

Also, any openAI developer who thinks that openAI currently is an independent company is kidding themselves. Microsoft is effectively already calling the shots, al be it in a roundabout way.

The money doesn’t matter.

We all know he ran it into the ground. However the twitter trademark is still worth something. It’s probably the only part of company worth buying. Which is ironic given that he changed the name. Regardless, someone might be willing to pay ~1 billion for it.

Which is what a smart ceo would do. Musk is not smart. He’s a spoiled little brat. Musk’s ego can’t handle the fact that anyone who buys twitter could make the company profitable (something he failed at spectacularly) by doing the exact opposite of whatever the fuck he’s doing. I.e. by proving that all his ideas are stupid.

Thirteen years of right wing policies, that have left the country fed up and unaffordable. And what does the electorate conclude. we weren’t right wing enough >.<

Oh well, the people have spoken. Let’s see how long this shit show lasts.

I wouldn’t trust anything “found” by Israeli intelligence. Having said that, according to article, these are plans for:

Hamas units to surround and infiltrate villages and target places where civilians, including children, gather.

Which is reasonably close to what happened. Given how direct and quick the strike was, it’s reasonable to assume that plans of that nature exist.

Then again, October 7th was a a Saturday and a holiday and Hamas attacked early in the morning. If they wanted to kidnap kids, it wouldn’t make sense to target schools.

TLDR: I dunno. Maybe.

Note the maybe, but whatever. Tell you what. Name one post-carter president who was better than Carter. Dude doesn’t have to be good, just better than Carter.

Jimmy Carter may have not have been a great president and the US government may have sone some shitty things while he was in charge, but he is probably the most upstanding American president of the last half century. Pretty much everyone after (with maaaybe the exception of Obama) has been of lesser character.

Which, now that I’ve written it out, sounds really sad. The best the country could do was Jimmy Carter, who … wasn’t great.

Holy shit. I completely forgot about download managers.

Tbf, this is probably it. It’s just a kneejerk reaction to seeing two shootings at the same time in a region where mass shootings are uncommon.

As long as Mozilla remains committed to a free and open internet, I will remain a faithful firefox user.

Even if every update after this one is a useless UI change. :p
