What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.

If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.

Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Rules

1. English only

Title and associated content has to be in English.

2. Use original link

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

3. Respectful communication

All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.

4. Inclusivity

Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

6. Off-topic tangents

Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

7. Instance rules may apply

If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

Even better, they'll make it out to be our (the people's) fault, for something, then proceed to give the tech bros billions in bailouts.

This crash will make 1998 and 2008 seen like child's play.

Let's just get it fucking over with, but be careful what we wish for.

Nope, 300 million is the claim.

I would say I hope they're preparing their resumes (for whoever is getting the top tier bracket (which I suspect probably wasn't all that many if any to begin with)) but even if they got just one months worth of salary that's...25 mil...yea they'll be fine

Welp, I remember reading the headline with some stupidly big number but I guess it didn't register with me just how stupid. (Dear Mark, I've also used chatgpt once , pls gib money)

Maybe what you're referring to? Over a billion over several years?

If their resumes weren't written by AI, that's a good indicator that it's all a scam.

The guy hasn't had a good idea since he was 20 years old. Just keeps dumping billions of dollars into stupid fads. Just imagine all the good he could be doing with that money instead of flushing it down the toilet on terrible investments.
