The incestuous investments and propping up of AI has Nvidia at its center. Is it a house of cards or are they building a strong foundation for future chip manufacturing. It doesn't look really stable to me, but I am not an economist.
A complex chart showing the network of investments, hardware, software, and services featuring Nvidia, OpenAI, Oracle, AMD, Microsoft, Intel, and others.

Truer than true.
A tweet from Emily Murnane that reads, "Any time there's any nepotism discourse, I do unfortunately feel the need to revisit Brooklyn Beckham's photography book" Attached to the tweet is a photo of a page with an elephant entirely in shadow. The page reads as a poem: "elephants in kenya (sic) so hard to photograph but incredible to see"

For my last one, how about a Hinge post for #Unhingedpit Meet Allison, regretting her choices.

#A #SF #Q
A series of Hinge posts from "Allison" that read: 1.) What if I told you that I went on a date with a superpowered guy. I kind of miss him, actually. Powers are no joke, though, especially his. Still, I kinda miss him… 2.) I want someone who is a pacifist at heart, is outgoing and curious and smart. I don’t need looks In fact, that nerdy aesthetic suits me fine. When you click with someone, though, you know it. Can confirm. 3.) Weirdest gift I have given or received was a video-date. It was pretty memorable, actually, but definitely unusual. Good luck topping that. Sounds easy, I bet, but it isn’t. You’ve got big nerdy glasses to fill, fellas.

Hot take: Spider-Man was guilt-tripped into heroics.

#Unhingedpit #A #SF #Q
A fake reddit post in the AITA subforum. It reads: AITA for not fighting crime with my superpowers? I recently discovered I have the power to accelerate entropy. It’s like I can speed up time in a small, localized area. I don’t know how it works! The thing is, I’ve found finding and fighting crime to be nearly impossible. I’m not trained to fight or subdue criminals and, frankly, there isn’t that much I could do that first responders can’t. So I decided to start a YouTube channel instead. I love science and have a Ph.D. myself, so I feel like creating science content is a pretty good fit. My parents don’t know and neither does the prof running my lab. Am I wasting my talents? Thanks!

Greyjack, what are you doing? Dr. Entropy, what about you?

Gru meme: 1.) Expose YouTube sensation Dr. Entropy as the real villain. 2.) Harass his family and drive away his girlfriend. 3.) Agree to a livestream to expose myself as an unhinged coward. 4.) Agree to a livestream to expose myself as an unhinged coward. Anakin- Padme meme: 1.) Neat, I seem to have the power to accelerate time! 2.) You’re going to use your power to fight crime, right? 3.) ... 4.) You’re going to use your power to fight crime, right?

Probably a DNS issue, but this is what I see:
