I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks. www.ft.com/content/a0df...

“Tech with Style” isn’t about chasing what tech is fashionable at the moment—it’s about finding your own style. Fashion you can buy, but style? That’s who you are. Use tech to amplify your style, not fit someone else’s idea of what is fashionable! #TechWithStyle

AI is absolutely a gamechanger. But those sky-high valuations? They’re starting to feel like a bubble waiting to pop. Both can be true at the same time.

Interesting article by the @nytimes.com: A small study found that #AI Tools like #ChatGPT are diagnosing faster and more accurately than doctors. Some fear automation, I am just thinking: - No more waitlists - Accurate, fast diagnoses - A healthcare system that works www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/h...

It’s hard to believe that this man spreads so much hate and stupidity and yet keeps building stuff that works. SpaceX, Tesla, and now his AI. Either he is surrounded by brilliant people that keep him away from his businesses or he loves being a troll creating chaos in the world to fuck it up. #musk
