Elon Musk's favorite supposed data expert, who he's retweeted at least a dozen times, claims she can only process 60,000 rows of data before her "hard drive overheats".

Perhaps someone should rescue her from where she's apparently stuck twenty years in the past, which is the only possible explanation for those hardware limitations and the apparent lack of access to cloud compute.

Unless, of course, she's just completely making shit up.

If you were literally on fire, Zuckerberg, Musk, and Bezos wouldn’t piss on you to put out the flames. They’d bottle it and charge you surge pricing.

What is the difference between honest ignorance (which we all have on any number of topics, and if we're humble, we learn) and prideful ignorance ("I know everything already, shut up")?

This man

He came to the state legislature to speak against . Instead, after listening to testimony, he apologized and said he learned a lot

Merkwürdig, ich höre dieser Tage immer wieder das Wort #Sondervermögen, aber nie fällt das Wort #Vermögenssteuer.
Jetzt sollen sogar die Arbeitenden auf einen Feiertag verzichten, weil wir ja alle gemeinsam anpacken müssen, um die Bundeswehr zu finanzieren. Die zahlen aber schon prozentual mehr Steuern und vor allem Sozialabgaben als die, die am meisten Geld zur Verfügung haben.

Stop pretending otherwise.

Something brand new, the tree and ravens were captured in the highlands of Falls Creek here in Australia. We have very chaotic forests which means the fog is quite vital to making a clear composition. The ravens were captured in nearby trees as there are many found in this area, just not where you want them =P

Program goes to Operating System, tears in eyes, says "my state, it is very bad"

Operating System says "is no problem, have good error reporting facility, detailed but concise report, contextual information included. you will submit bug there"

Program sobs loudly "but Operating System, I *am* error reporting facility"

Black Mirror have a new season coming out with "more tech nightmares". A few years back the show's writers had room, they had time. Today they're competing with next week's news.

Given that this is clearly the Worst Timeline, I predict that Sam Altman will find a way to use the billions of venture capital he raised for OpenAI by promising to deliver a non-existent general AI to pay Trump to give him free access to copyrighted material, and then to pay Trump to ban rival technologies (anything that actually works), and finally to pay Trump to criminalize the act of telling people how and why LLMs don't do what Altman wants you to believe they do.

You want to simultaneously juice Canadian tech and cripple American tech? Offer expedited citizenship for LGBTQ+ Americans
