Anonymity. It’s more than privacy. Every move you make is accounted for. No more cash sales. No more pay phones. No more taxis. From a camera to a pin to a timestamp to a location tracker on a flashlight app etc, you’re never invisible.

Got outside a little bit today, and went to my favorite park in the Bay, Big Basin State Park. Checking out the Redwoods' recovery after the 2020 fire was beautiful. New growth, even in the ashes. Charred trees still growing and holding life.

Upset is the word. Also, who in the name of street marketing is even using bumper stickers in the 1st place? AND applying them to people's cars? You just asking to turn people off to whatever you selling
I have a question…
If you were at an event and came out to your car having a bumper sticker on it (that you didn’t authorize) would you be upset?
Also, would you then be compelled to the go lookup the product online?

Altman has been quite clear about his strategy.
From the 2008 crash he learned that if you bind enough of the economy to your business you can do whatever you like; government will decide the rules no longer apply.
What he's selling is unaccountabilty.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.
What does OpenAI offer the world?

Ok, but let’s just say that TACO actually is a Russian asset (which is likely confirmed by the Epstein files),
isn’t crashing the U.S. economy EXACTLY what he’s supposed to do?
I mean…don’t his actions more clearly demonstrate an intent to harm the United States, than to actually lead it?

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

Well damn. This story got twists! And turns! Also, word to Ruth for being a real one.
I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS
Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark
Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap
The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name
He did this six times
Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel
