I hate that the world is easier to live in after two glasses of neat vodka, but it’s definitely true. Never start a software company, try to avoid fascists, and always stand up for what you believe in.

So today in the fuck is wrong with AI, I had to put a bank level block on open AI because: 1. They’ve billed me twice even though all my accounts with them no longer exist. 2. I can’t contact their support because chat doesn’t work with VoiceOver on the devices I had to hand. Illegal?

Anyone else listened to Life In The Wires by Frost*?

How marvelous to see @chess.com cares so much about my blindness. I’ve been nagging them about accessibility for 18 months, and it’s only been getting worse. I could take them to court at this point but frankly I haven’t the spoons yet. #a11y #chess

What if Elon gets desperate enough he uses doge to stage a coup? His companies have close up footage of just about every secure facility the govt uses Tesla cars near and in, a bunch of communications satellites, and doge has control of an awful lot of govt data, and payment facilities.

Yo openAI just billed me for an account that no longer exists. Wtf?

There are two ways to fight wars. First is beating the crap out of each other, either with drones, swords, bombs, cyber attacks, or whatever you have to hand. The other is to just do a better job than the other side. Think space race, Concorde, etc. If we are due a war, let’s make it the latter.

I just said to someone it’s been a rough month and a bit since that whole liberation day thing, looked at the calendar and it’s only been three weeks. Good fucking Lord I never thought I’d be world weary at 30 but here we are.

Prediction: if Europe, the UK, or both play their cards right over the next 12 months, there’s a chance large tech companies relocate to the EU or the UK.

I’ve given up. @chess.com will never be accessible. I’ve tried to point this out to them too many times. Bye bye.

Guys, you’re missing a trick. You want to hit Trump where it hurts? EU and UK should tariff American asset managers like blackrock and others.

Summing up the past week in 4 words Right problem, terrible solution.

Ok, humour me. What studies? Because I would pay a fucking mint plus tax to see a write up and a Timelapse of the experiment that came to *THAT* conclusion. Animators, do your duty 😜😀🔥

Anyone know of a vst that turns one vocal track into a crowd? Preferably with varying sizes up to a few hundred thousand?

Because American made planes are known for their reliability and safety

My Dad is determined to believe this is all good, and tried to tell me that one of our local supermarkets M&S was actually up. He got so offended when I pulled up the stock chart. Like, actual shouting and stormed out the room.

Thought I’d check in on you all. How are you doing? If you need it, here’s a shoulder. 🤗

Words cannot explain just how unhinged today’s trading session has been. Markets moving up and down more than a bull on heat, but gold falling nearly 2% at the same time. The only reason that would happen is if funds needed to sell their safe bets to stop running out of cash. And yet he golfs.

Been saying this for a while but can we just classify America as an emerging market now? Please? Developed nations don’t usually cause this much market whiplash and it makes no sense that a dictator has this much power over the world’s pension funds. I’m so glad I left my investment job rn

As my family watches it and it’s best to know what the other side are saying even if you disagree, I went to GB News’s yt channel to see about their reporting of the tariffs. I’m not sure why it took me so long to see it but that channel is not even entertainment news. It’s pure propaganda.

There is now a significantly non zero chance that one or more tech companies bring their HQ to the UK.
