$12 for Corona is indefensible. But anyone paying $12 for Corona when Modelo is the same price needs to be professionally examined.

I should add that they don't want an interview with this guy about his product, or at least they pretend they don't. No, every time there's any kind of notable news, they get a tweet-sized "statement" from CEO dude, despite him having NO connection to it beyond "AI," and send out another pitch.

I will definitely try that. I already use a cheesy star projector, just to give some light and color to my vaulted ceiling at night. I can adjust the schedule or add a second one for the day at low power and point it at the windows.

Who is even doing that? There can't be enough, I dunno, McDonald's franchisees who want that, and also have time and patience to walk around gathering signatures.
So they're paying people minimum wage to go out and advocate that they, themselves, should be paid less?

It's almost statistically certain that someone makes their "business LLM agent" or whatever talk to them in anime girl tones.
I hope I never see it.

True, as annoying as I find Nvidia, I can't actually complain about anything they're doing beyond pricing and equipment choices. They bounced from crypto to AI so perfectly.
Even so, I'd keep an eye out for shenanigans, as with anyone in a dominant position.

Well if you're going to exploit a blatant monopoly, now (or at least the next 3.5 years) is the time to do it...
Make hay while the late-stage capitalism sun shines. Just don't wake the baby.

Made it, just barely. It's the first time I've seen my weight start with "1" since high school.
