The AI bubble may be about to bust.
Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

As a former federal prosecutor who focused on sex trafficking cases, it is true that there is a “difference” between criminals who traffic 15 year olds and criminals who traffic 5 year olds. One gets a greater sentence than the other. Both are aggravated felonies with a 15 year mandatory minimum.

The forward visibility from a Range Rover is worse than that from an Abrams tank. SUVs are lethal in collision with pedestrians and much more dangerous than ordinary cars in collision with anything else.
They’re a means of reducing their drivers’ risk by making life more dangerous for everyone else

And this is why extremists - those who want to “flood the zone with shit” want to destroy the BBC. As long as there is a single, commonly accepted source of objective fact, it is much more difficult to build a mass grouping like MAGA, who are motivated by their distorted view of reality.
Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.
