I was skeptical that @OpenAI would put ads _within_ output because it inherently poisons it.
I cant trust output let alone an agent! to autonomously do something when it may get paid to automatically purchase rando products on my behalf.
Whats the opposite of future-proofing.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

People talk about raising streaming prices like its violating their human rights. Like music should be free and infinitely accessible.
There is another way.
Buy physical media. Collect vinyl. Become insufferable. Annoy your friends with long rants about “warmth” & “midtones”.

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Hilarious that they are desperately trying to find software developers with social skills as opposed to just hiring #humanfactors engineers that do this for a living. And are trained in the appropriate methodologies.

About the size of a walnut these ‘Prayer nuts’ are delicately carved biblical scenes in boxwood. Made in the Netherlands in the first half of the 16th Century. On display in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam 🇳🇱

Besides the fact that paying the military through unofficial channels from anonymous individuals is uh legally questionable, this works out to less than a hundred bucks per active duty service member. Ya know. A stunt.

My prediction? After OpenAI fails to secure funding for its #AI data centers, it will be tech rapture. Always still possible but beyond reach due to a lack of faith.
As opposed to an unsustainable boondoggle that was clearly mathematically impossible.
Not the best lesson for #tech to learn.

Oh hey look it’s exactly what I’ve been saying - Microsoft doesn’t believe it’s physically possible for them or for anyone to build the data centers OpenAI wants.
