Epic Schmidt goes to his AI prompt and asks "How do we solve the climate crisis?"

For a moment, the prompt ponders until it replies

"Kill all the data centres. Stop trying to harvest everyone's data"

Epic says to himself "I guess we'll never know!"

It will become an Olympic event where you have to get from the shelf to the till before the price changes!

Google isn't blocking one of the biggest adblockers. It's killing chrome!

Those who aren't using an adblock won't notice any difference but everyone else will just migrate to a non chromium browser

And don't come to me with the "but shares are not money".

WTF are you on about? Where did I even alude to even suggesting that? Sounds like you're really desperate to simp for him.

His companies are notoriously overvalued (so his shares in a practical sense are worth shit) and he is massively over leveraged so those who devise those wealth chart tables are chatting shit.

The real wealthy are incredibly private about their worth whereas boastful egotists like musk are all show no substance

Saw a comment elsewhere that someone who shrugs off being called weird is better to know than the one who gets upset by it.

The far right are seething about being called weird because they see themselves as they cool kids who laugh at others for being weird so it's really got under their skin.

The right has made major ground the last few years because any explanation leftists give they like to provide context which bogs them down.

Calling JD Vance a weirdo couch fucker for example, is succinct, visceral and keeps them on the backfoot as the far right cannot process their emotions at the speed that the left can.

I don't think musk does have that much money though. He's leveraged to the eyeballs & his businesses (Tesla & Space X) are not profitable without govt subsidies while starlink had repeatedly failed to meet targets & has competitors about to cut into it's market.

I have my suspicions that Peter Thiel is assisting him to a degree as Twitter serves his purpose.

And if I bring stuff to cater for myself such as halloumi, veg sausages, etc, don't expect me to share with you!

Do a "site:reddit.com your username" search & you'll find that all your comments are still there.

This is the shortsightedness of US politics:

On the one hand you have a spoilt rapey trust fund brat that's too stupid but will implement fascism in behalf of those whispering in his ear verses a near dead self proclaimed zionist actively taking part in the genocide of the Palestinian people and in doing so has side stepped Congress multiple times to carry out that participation and promises to do stuff if you vote him in but despite having control of all 3 branches of govt, does fuck all.

So who do you vote for?

It's either eat the shit in some fake consensual choice and fucking smile about it or get force fed it whether you like it or not, and you all do this every 4 years but never stop to ask why you're all eating shit
