Funny how it’s always one fewer republican than is necessary to kill the bill or confirmation, wouldn’t you say?

I am not even sure all of the continental US will be under his operational control by the time he leaves office.

S&P views Oracle's strong dependence on a single major customer, OpenAI, as particularly critical.

Well it’s a good thing OpenAI is a stable foundation to build on top of. No worries about that company. I’d stake my personal reputation on it!

Lordy, I hope there are tapes.

Sounds like malicious prosecution to me, let’s get them some (or all) of that $1.776b fund. They can put it to good use in the community instead of giving it to duly-convicted insurrectionists.

Well, jobs with AI exposure at its current price point are starting to disappear. But what if:

• energy prices were to rise, perhaps because someone started a war
• there were a shortage of components to build additional capacity
• the AI providers were to switch to a different price model
• the VC cash subsidizing the actual cost were to suddenly dry up

Surely none of those could ever happen, and even if they did they probably wouldn’t have any impact.

Wanted: a cheap, multipotent treatment for viral infections. Must be able to handle new or unfamiliar strains, or (even better) a broad range of viruses – whatever comes along, in other words. Must be impervious to viral attempts to evolve resistance to it.

And if the grad students you hired for peanuts who actually do all the work can’t find that, well, just poison them.

Hmm, I wonder who’ll profit from this drop and subsequent spike when he reneges by Friday?

This is very funny, because the kind of people who want Trump's face smeared all over their official documents are probably not the kind of people who do a lot of international travel.

From the Apple press release:

Cook will continue in his role as CEO through the summer as he works closely with Ternus on a smooth transition. As executive chairman, Cook will assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world.

I guess Tim isn’t ready to give up handling the bribes just yet.

Peppy. James is doing that barrel roll thing he loves.

By the end of this thing I fully expect Trump to hand-deliver them the plans for the bomb and claim that it’s a win because he didn’t allow them to develop it themselves.
