CNN did not include this fact in their story about AT&T ending diversity initiatives, but they should have. we should have to reckon with the fact that AT&T has chosen to do today what a neo-nazi organization tried to force them to do 40 years ago. the nazis don't even have to ask anymore.

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.

Based on analysis of years of revenues, losses and funding, since 2023, OpenAI has taken in $28.6bn in cash and had $13.7bn in losses.
However, reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn in cash - suggesting OpenAI's losses are billions higher than reported.
