  • Donald Trump may have called into C-SPAN under a pseudonym to complain about the Supreme Court

  • The chances of it being Trump himself are slim, but it was an excellent impression of Trump trying to slightly change his voice.

  • You want a place full of radicals that other people can't defederate from? What you want is Twitter.

  • Goldman Sachs has launched an "S&P ex-AI" index that tracks the S&P 500 stocks not related to AI, offering investors a way to "hedge their exposure to the AI trade.

  • I'm surprised to see this community of all places pushing back on the idea that LLM companies are in a financial bubble.

  • Maybe things have improved but the last time I tried the Home Assistant er- assistant, it was garbage at anything other than the most basic commands given perfectly.

  • a cash grab based on a currently trending sentiment.

    If that sentiment turns out to be accurate (AI products do not add value to a company) an index like this would make sense, right? Most indexes leave out speculative assets like crypto and gold. At this stage the value of LLM technology is still speculative.

    I'm not an expert here, just trying to understand what makes this much different from any other ETF investors expect could outperform the market.

  • The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is "Shore Leave"?

  • Same lol, they're both great. But that's where the similarities end as far as I can tell.

  • Iain M Banks, culture series.

  • I really don't think we were meant to interpret the advice of "be a dick" literally. People with social anxiety often feel like they're being a dick when others just see confidence and playful teasing.

    I interpreted his lesson to stop being afraid of how others perceive him, which is a recurring theme of this series.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x07 “Ko’Zeine”

    Jump

  • I thought this episode was the sort of comfortable, regular-ass side quest character-development stories the fans are always clamoring for. Honestly surprised to see the largely negative reaction here.
