Stop giving money to the ghouls who run these companies (I'm talking about all of silicon valley) and start investing in entities and services to help real people. The human cost of this mass accumulation of wealth is already too damn high, and no we're just turbo throwing people into the meat grinder so clowns like Sam Altman can claim to be creating god.

How is an article that discusses the shortcomings of a mega corp vacuuming up competition, resulting in the majority of restaurant food being the same bland low quality stuff a union hit piece?
Maybe Sysco sucks and it's easy for the union to point out the same things about it? It seems pretty cut and dry that consolidation in many industries results in mediocre at best outcomes.
This whole thing feels like a neat encapsulated example of how horrible the "Internet" has become. A bad actor with vested interest taking over a part of a website (Reddit) that is then used as a source of record (Google, LLMs), and bam, completely fabricated overviews of a brand/company are now all you see when you use the predominant search engine, because there are no alternatives.
All of this for what? Shareholder value? So Silicon Valley elites can get rich and force their shit ideas on everyone?
If you don't see this for what it is, and that is just pure rot of the major services that people use and rely on for their information needs, then you might be beyond helping. Everyone should be pissed that this is what the internet has become.
Unfortunately both the 12 Mini and the 13 Mini did terrible numbers sales-wise. People say they want small phones but not enough of them actually buy them when they are available. :(
I do wonder if more people would buy a smaller phone if it had the same cameras and features as the pro? Time will tell if thinner sells better than shorter and less girthy.
I for one hate how even the 17 pro is creeping up in size compared to the 15 pro.
I think only if anyone believed him. Since no one does it has no material effect on the stock price.
So if nobody believes him, why is he a highly compensated executive? Shouldn't he be relieved of all responsibilities? Even if he owns a majority of controlling shares, that should be a red flag that the guy in charge has no clue what he's doing. It's wild that we just treat this behavior as normal.
So much of what is going on with big tech and the US government at the moment is either wildly corrupt or completely bewildering.
And the response from most major press seems to be a simple shrug?
What happened to holding people in power accountable?
Wouldn't you be better doing it with almost anything other than Grok?
How do you know it won't introduce misinformation about white genocide into your prompt?
If someone keeps choosing to use the "mechahitler chatbot" at this point, I don't think they care about what misinformation goes into their prompt.

If a private company builds infrastructure with their profits, should it be owned by the customers "who paid for it"?
Why are we letting private companies own public infrastructure?
