Is that so? You haven't tried cannibis derived products or you would have said "did not do anything.". But ok sell the opioids.

Well Binance was a partner of FTX and invested 20% in them, so I'd say they were friendly at some point.

Be careful, it's a fake market and you have no idea how easily they might be able to control the price, for a while at least

Or it's mostly wash traded and manipulated so not very related.

Except that these platforms often have 'government' specific offerings that are not the same as everyone else.

How about they implement it for all politicians and executives first, then the rest of us if that works out.

Everyone has rights or no one has rights

Games are minor issue now, to the point I buy new games on Steam without even checking compatibility, because they just work (or have the same problems Windows does anyway).

Windows' strong point is basically some large software vendors just don't support Linux (Photoshop, finance software, etc). And of course corporate. For the day to day 'casual' user Linux is every bit as good. But, much as we all had to 'learn' Windows when we started using it, so there will be at least a little learning required for Linux.

Indeed, VC's loaded with 'free' money pumping whatever idea could bring in the consumers enough to keep a narrative spinning.

I haven't seen any particularly strong profitability case for ChatGPT and the like yet, unless you call ad dollars from promoting "ChatXX does this amazing trick!" as proof.

People barely even questioned the ludicrous wages being thrown around in silicon valley, supported by 'funding rounds' and silly valuations of future growth.

But, it all sucks because the people that will lose are the last-in-chain investors and the to-be-unemployed. Not the VC crybabies currently out there complaining about their need for protection by the establishment they protest.

So can a PC, a car or a cat. You're not making any point here.

Probably just because they offer similar services, so a bit of contagion.

What? Do you know who Hindenburg are or are you just a shill account (or Bill Ackman fanboy)?

Short sellers are essentially litmus tests. If you're all legit, they'll get wrecked, if you're doing dumb things, you're about to get found out.

This is bad for Block. I hope. It's incredible that since 2008 it actually seemed immensely easier to skirt regulations and laws (under the banner of 'innovation'), and not just in finance. Just about all of silicon valley seems to have run the longest and broadest grift we've seen.

This year's gonna get real interesting.

Refer to my point on past inputs. If a human suddenly said to the machine "change of rules, now you have to play by these new rules" the AI suddenly gets immensely dumber and will apply useless solutions.
