Non-problematically saluting whoever came up with this.

Petition to rename AI slop as AI tripe 😂

The best of his books, this is fully deserved and a wonderful move by penguin

Optimistic late night thought What’s American for Interregnum?

Wait wait wait but the fully staffed NASA said 3%, now the Elon-gated one says under 1%. Looks like they fired the blue haired lesbian who actually understood the calculations 😳 (Hidden Figures 2 is going to be wild)

Oof. Bad look $MSFT and Nature

Well-informed comments from Jason: Jason Alicea, a professor of theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology, questioned whether the company had actually built a topological qubit, saying the behavior of quantum systems is often hard to prove. /1 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/t...

At some point this is actual securities fraud. Maybe not yet, but close $MSFT Ah silly me I forgot you can’t get prosecuted for securities fraud anymore, it’s all just part of the tech boy bubble blowing game

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

For God’s sake people have you learned nothing? They’re not taking orders from Putin. They’re not taking orders from Xi. They’re Just. That. Dumb.

Fundamental physics been stuck for a generation but we are still progressing in other ways

… because making 1Trillion in “efficiency gains” while doing smol financial crime to the US govt is clearly a short term gig

Please stop asking, it’s simple: He doesn’t know what reciprocal means

Poll: deflect the asteroid toward A) deep space B) mar-a-lago

Oh good take - except here the idiot is cashing in as well at 500M and counting.. Maybe Trump as the insider in a bank heist

Perplexity is impressive

This is so fucking obviously right that someone will eventually try to amend some process, however this is the UK so I’m sure impact will in fact be just as Trump leaves office

Economics also problematic?

I hear even Nancy Pelosi struggling to trade this market

@mayfaircynic.bsky.social on fire this morning, give the guy a follow
