there aren’t a lot of nice places hiring foreign workers en mass, and meta, google, palantir, tormentnexus, etc, offer a chance at a better life for them and their families.

the major reason to make life a hell for as many people as possible is to have this kind of leverage on them.

deepseek, what happened in early june 1989?

historian fails to understand that the company “palantir” was named by someone who, in fact, knew exactly what it meant, and it excited him.

exactly. he spent 30 minutes calling the irish ignorant, but the words “gulf stream” never tickled his neurons.

the extra-irony is that up until the last 10-15 years, “gulf stream” is what everyone in the usa called it, too. hank’s just so tech-pilled he can’t see anything else.

ah yes, hank green who spent an entire video chastising the citizens of ireland for being ignorant of the amoc.

dude never even bothered to think people called it something else there.

hes always been a self-satisfied, arrogant knob

playing a really shitty game of the prisoner’s paradox

but ai is inevitable! it can’t be stopped! it’s impossible to regulate!

i dunno, apple has a real habit of suing for theft and losing

yes we did. you got tapes in the mail. there were services for it. there were conventions. it was just a lot smaller than it is now.
