The most hilarious part of the study isn't that all the Whole Foods Organic veggies & meat are plastic ridden Its that Sour Patch Kids + microwavable Kraft Mac & Cheese were among the least plastic containing foods 6 year old kid diets are totally vindicated vs Whole Foods Maxies

Elon's jet is in Florida. Global Foundries jet is in Florida. Qualcomm's jet is in Florida. In case anyone was wondering what's going on with Intel... They are at Mar-a-Lago. Make America Great Again can only be true if Intel is saved.

ChatGPT system prompt is 1700 tokens?!?!? If you were wondering why ChatGPT is so bad versus 6 months ago, its because of the system prompt. Look at how garbage this is. Laziness is literally part of the prompt. Formatted in the paste bin below. pastebin.com/vnxJ7kQk

Microsoft might be investing in Anthropic's new round at $59B. Microsoft wants to have Claude in their pocket to push back against OpenAI who is increasingly rambunctious with Microsoft. Very uncomfortable partnership between the two.

Nvidia will be a robotics company at the end of the day, not just semiconductor. Few understand the moves they are doing at the lowest level from manufacturing up to software. Classic extend embrace extinguish. They are going to sell robots and this is from Jensen straight up

The point of Elon's offer to buy OpenAI for $97.4B to try to fuck over the non-profit to for-profit conversion A standing offer from many accredited investors to buy the non-profit portion OAI prolly tanks the argument to IRS/states Which then maybe kills future fundraising
