“breath of energy”?

your translator’s on the fritz, Ivan.

Well the former is the reason “half” doesn’t work as well. Trillion, Quintillion, Zillion, it has less impact.

Wrong.

gEnOsiDe JoE!

wait comrade, am forget - did this election happening yet?

Ah yes the Being Eaten By A Crocodile Competition

“How a Texas town defies the US Constitution”

Pesticides and climate destruction?

Waiting for the next headline to have “Experts suggest” this.

Which they have to spell out for us because trump is such a transparent tool of Putin all the MAGAt chuds have to be unpleasantly reminded his ridiculous attack of Zelenskyy is and was always bullshit.

Journalism is just on fire lately isn’t it.

“Experts warn touching open flame to gasoline may be flammable”

☝️

Also they suck. Like, in general.

No, enshittified search engines are only catalogging those because they’re in the AI bed with them.

Your Favorite Forum still rules.

I think it’s the opposite. We’re all used to “a billion” now, even thought we can’t really concieve of it the way we can, say $100. But a trillion is just space money. Just make it a gazillion.

500 Billion has real competitive traction - people are billionaires, this is more than them, etc. A trillion is something you have nanoparticles of, something very small.

No, “half” sounds like half. 500 of something sounds like more than half of something. (Yes, trillion > billion, we’re not debating the actual facts - which are the same either way - just the way it’s perceived in a headline)

Half of dinners. 500 meals. Half a car. 500 auto parts. Half of all dealerships. 500 independent dealers. etc.

Why would you say “half” when you could say “500”?

500 Billion Dollars.

OpenAI is CoreWeave. CoreWeave is OpenAI. SoftBank is now both CoreWeave and OpenAI, and if SoftBank buckles, both CoreWeave and OpenAI are dead. For this situation to work even for the next year, these companies will have to raise tens of billions of dollars just to maintain the status quo.

You’d think if that was easily disprovable, someone would want to do that.

The leaders behind the funding, functionality, and media coverage of the tech industry have abdicated their authority so severely that the consensus is that it’s fine that OpenAI burns $5 billion a year, and it’s also fine that OpenAI, or Anthropic, or really any other generative AI company has no path to profitability. Furthermore, it’s fine that these companies are destroying our power grid and our planet, and it’s also fine that they stole from millions of creatives while simultaneously undercutting those creatives in an already-precarious job market.

Amazing, as always. That AI is . . . what it is.

The White House strategy here is to move so fast that by the time the courts and or public opinion catches up with them the deeds are done and cannot be undone. That’s a very plausible strategy and they’re continuing to execute it.

So firebomb all the ***** dealerships first, figure out the rest later. Got it. Okay everyone you heard the random internet person! Every Saturday night, all **** dealerships and/or lots are going up okay? Great. Make sure to leave your phones at home!
