Re:`Mr AI' Peter Thiel Lectures about Antichrist in Rome on Tuesday March 17, 2026 @06:22PM (#47419166)
Bro needs to get outside and look at the stars and think about how unimportant he is relative to the universe. THere is no Antichrist, there is no Armageddon, it's all the demented ramblings of some mushroomhead on a Greek Island in the early Christian era. Please shut up.

This is complete nonsense. Moderate Democrats loudly and vigorously support all these things. Either you’re ignorant or you’re trolling from your actual far-right position.

Good real-world uses of AI in the last third.
Re:Ray Dalio says we are definitely in a bubble on Thursday November 20, 2025 @02:55PM (#45996893)
Then we're definitely not in a bubble. Guy's never been right about anything.
Nothing wrong with this, it's not "work 80 hour weeks or get fired" or even particularly annoying LinkedIn-style hustleporn. It's a very realistic assessment of what it takes to go public - and a call to focus on customers.

You are exactly wrong on what Sinofsky said about work/life balance.

"The only thing I would say is that anyone who tells you how cool it is to pull all-nighters on commercial software or anyone who says "I live at the office" and means it, is really someone I would not want checking code into my project. To be blunt, there is no way you can do quality work if you do not give your brain a break. Since the 1940's people have been studying the quality of work people are capable of without the proper sleep, change in environment, and exercise. There are reasons why even back during Apollo moon missions they forced the astronauts to sleep and not run on adrenaline. So working at Microsoft does not push the limits like this--it is not good for you, not good for business, and not good for the customers paying you for your software. If a company is driving you to work crazy hours like this, either because you want to or they want you to, it is just uncool."
