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

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

If you're having a QA tester look at code, what you actually have is a test engineer and you should be paying them way more.

What a guy. 👏💩👏
In 2022 he ordered all QA employees to return to the office full-time, even those hired remotely or who were working with remote teams. Some testers lived hours away from the studio. Martin said Ryan was only in the office himself one or two days a week. He recalled a meeting where Ryan explained to QA testers why they would not receive any additional compensation for having to commute into the office (despite the additional expenses some would incur). "You guys are already paid at the top of the market. You can afford to commute," he said, according to Martin. After returning to the office, testers were told that Ryan personally monitored when they swiped badges to enter and exit the building. During this time, the division's staffing levels fluctuated, with leads like Martin and department heads like central services head Ron Henseleit being suddenly ousted from the company. Candidates for open QA positions would be interviewed, only for the position to be axed, sometimes allegedly at Ryan's direction. QA workers were also regularly blamed for problems completely outside their control. One former tester recalled that Ryan frequently said QA was responsible for Concord development not moving at a faster pace, sometimes in meetings with QA staffers from Firewalk Studios. At one point, QA testers were tasked with examining network code at Hidden Grove, something they were never trained to do. Later, they became the final point of validation for new Project Vance game features. This latter directive was allegedly issued during a period when all our anonymous sources were aware Ryan had moved his desk into a newly formed "QA bullpen" that many joked was a "panopticon." Ryan apparently insisted that this was not a surveillance measure, but one that would allow him to be the first to check submitted builds. This earned him the moniker of "the world's most expensive tester."

Thanks to the new UK online safety act, Steam now asks me to verify I'm over 18. I don't really think I need to... surely?
