Do you understand how email works? You dont have 1 centralised email server. You pick one and thats your email address name@emailserver. It then talks to other email servers unless its blocked emails from that server.

In principal, Mastodon and Lemmy are exactly the same.

Even if he did realise, he wouldn’t care as long as the grift keeps going & he can get back to golfing fairly soon

Last year Dario Amodei, the co-founder of leading AI firm Anthropic, put the current cost of training advanced models at between $100m and $1bn.

So his estimate is so vague as to be fucking useless.

How people haven’t seen through this emperors new clothes nonsense & grasped that these are the bullshitting self appointed druids of the neo religion.

That bubble they keep mentioning is where they’re all getting high off their own farts

it is very concerning that the tech companies could deny a business access to their platforms without proving their case in front of a neutral 3rd party, without offering their target a chance to defend themselves

This is a ludicrous position. He/infowars broke their ToC so they acted accordingly. If anything, they were incredibly lenient in not banning all the accounts prior to when they did.

You’ve also alluded that there’s some kind of conspiracy against Jones by those companies…

by simultaneously banning it from all their problems (I guess you meant ‘platforms’) at once.

By using Hanlons Razor, I would posit that they acted at the last moment before it would blow back on them. The controversy surrounding the guy/company would have generated traffic/clicks/revenue and they wouldn’t cut that off unless there were something that would negatively impact their future revenue.

No company acts out of others interests unless it has some effect on their own, thinking otherwise is just naive.

I’ve had some first hand experience of the Guardians IT systems and they can barely find their arse with both hands

Of course some don’t believe the lies but they sure love setting fire to things and watching them burn

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!

schadenfreudilicious!

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

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.

That article is horrible, not for it’s content but their insistence of underlining words and phrases in sentences as links but it creates false emphasis and makes it unreadable!

They need to learn to develop some subtlety with their word cloud link nonsense

The vast majority of his wealth is wrapped up in stock of a massively overvalued car company and the loans he needed to buy twitter have huge interest payments and he doesn’t have the cash to pay them

The thing Elon fails to understand is that someone didn’t just write Twitter on one go and gift it on to the world.

He did actually say at once point about scraping all the code base & starting from scratch!

Unless Apple drops the price of their devices by at least a third, it’s not really going to happen.

Another thing to consider is that Jamf will certainly not be dominating the Apple MDM management solution arena in a decade either.

Companies with a mostly win estate with win infra, aren’t happy with paying another $40 per user, per year for Jamf and Intune will be making up a lot of ground for a one shop solution, even if management is not as featured or complex as what Jamf offers.

I would tell anecdotes and stories but would constantly go off at a tangent. Someone said I had “Tangentism”.

Reddit AMAs pretty much died after they sacked Victoria.

One of my luxuries is that I shave using straight and safety razors (it’s actually more economical & less of an environmental impact that using shitty gillette style razors) is to splurge a bit on the shaving soap and brush

Nothing like a nice, frothy lather!
