Its not, but we have a government that sees starving the population as a political tool.
Can you find any examples, ever, of the government threatening stores for giving discounts?
They are trying to starve people as a political tool.
lol, Silicon Valley has always been evil.
Even if your robotaxi only manages 2000 rides that’s still down to just 10 cents a ride to cover the cost of hardware.
It’s nothing.
It’s amazing people heard that argument and didn’t immediately write him off as having zero clue what he’s talking about.
I’m gonna go ahead and guess that by “super critical” you actually mean that you went in an Elon worshipper and left an Elon worshipper.
What lead? They are way behind Waymo.
Why would anyone listen to the opinion of someone who bought a Tesla in 2025?
The only people still buying them are musk fanboys.
Are people under that impression or are you just repeating the sort of nonsense musk pushes about how sensor fusion is bad?
More spammy than ActBlue must be pretty insanely spammy.
So just ignore everything you actually know until you can fool yourself into thinking fancy auto complete is totally real intelligence?
Why not apply that to computers in general and then we can all worship the magic boxes.
Nah it can still be entirely on good faith.
Not everyone is an easily impressed and convinced that fancy autocomplete is going to suddenly spontaneously develop intelligence.
Usually it’s a response to my profanity laden “what are you doing? Why? Don’t do that! Stop! Do this instead”
At least in Canada you can legally demand what it promises you.
Fourth comma.
These people have a pathological need to hoard wealth.
They did it and it worked fine.
Do you have any evidence for this or is it just you trying to justify what you want?
Huge numbers of people being put under stupid amounts of pressure to get small fractions of a percent in increased revenue.
Everyone I work with is in other states.
They love a distributed office but don’t want employees to have a decent balance.
It’s not just the RTO, it’s the way they handled it.
Telling people they can go ahead and plan their lives around working remotely only to aggressively flip flop on it is colossal disrespect. It’s just a giant fuck you to every employee.
I didn’t want to work for Amazon before but I consider them a joke now.
“ Congress flirting with adding another $116 trillion over the next 30 years if it doesn't reform entitlement programs”
Or raise taxes.
Weird how a totally reasonable site doesn’t mention the possibility of increased revenue in an article about a sovereign wealth fund.
Whatever, minor nitpick really.
> Imagine policy decisions about energy, tech, labor standards, and even foreign relations warped by the government's financial stake
We don’t have to imagine we are seeing that playing out now with the rampant corruption of the Trump regime.
Why would they ever bother?
To serve a tiny percentage of their customer base that just ends up finding an already supported method anyway?
Where exactly is the value for them?
That sounds like a needless pile of complicity and expense that offers literally zero value in return.
Crypto isn’t going to take over anything.
Bitcoin makes a lot of sense if you’re a libertarian weirdo who thinks fiat currency is the worst thing ever.
It makes no sense in the real world.
They are trying to give credibility to as value-less asset that’s historically been used for illegal activity, gambling, and predatory selling of said assets to people who don’t understand them.
Tether claiming they have the ability to back up their coins with USD lets crypto people claim their nonsense actually has value.
Of course the entire thing rides on the “trust me bro” guarantees offered by tether. They could erase a lot of the stink by going through an audit but for some reason they won’t.
I’ll believe in stable coins when tether passes an audit.
Actually even then I still consider it nonsense.
Less convincing when you open up by gushing about every other lame AI tech then proceed to insist that this new thing is the real revolution.
Comes across as someone who just wants to shill for AI for some reason.
Because they have a history of abusing their monopoly on browsers to push new standards that only help them.
According to scotus they can just give the judge a thank you gift for doing such a good job.
What states rights, he’s invading cities in flagrant violation of laws and norms.
It speaks to the credibility of the people involved when they claim to protect journalists.
