It's just aging /s

On the other hand, men on average live shorter, and we just go "well it's just risky behavior and physical labor I guess 🤷‍♂️" and they're aren't any task forces for that either, truth is we as a society don't care enough about these issues regardless of sex

Elon Musk sells X to his own xAI for $33 billion in all-stock deal

Reply in thread

Well, not really. Twitter was his own private property that he bought with borrowed money secured against his Tesla shares. xAI on the other hand is financed by investors whose money he used to bail himself out at a price he made up himself since Twitter is no longer publicly traded. So this is, in my opinion, misuse of investor funds; the picture would be true if xAI used how own money to do this, but no.

On one hand,I think this is serious fraud. On the other, my understanding for anyone investing into his companies is very limited, there are so many red flags on so many levels.

„Ist aus dem Ruder gelaufen“: SPD-Chef schließt sich bei Sozial-Reform-Plänen der Union an

Ich als arbeitender Mensch kann sagen: mein Gerechtigkeitsgefühl ist verletzt, wenn Schlupflöcher im Erbrecht existieren und ausgenutzt werden; wenn die Kosten für notwendige Sozialleistungen nur auf die Arbeitenden fällt (Krankenversicherung); wenn die Einkommensschere an der Spitze und an darunter auseinanderläuft; wenn erlaubt wird, das Wohnraum dazu dient, erhebliches passives Einkommen zu generieren; wenn große Unternehmen Steuerschlupflöcher ausnutzen und dann die Steuerprüfer abgebaut werden; wenn durch Unternehmen vom Staat gestohlenes Geld nicht zurückgefordert wird; aber ganz besonders verletzt ist es, wenn man mich für so dumm hält und mich gegen die Schwächsten ausspielen will.

Aber gut, ich hab die ja auch nicht gewählt (und bin zumindest momentan auch nicht von direkten Sozialleistungen abhängig), aber ich habe laut am Telefon gelacht, als meine Tante meinte, sie würde die SPD als Gegengewicht zur CDU in einer Koalition wählen.

Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!

People should be angry and upset about this. Similar to the story some weeks ago where residents of a small Texan town (seemingly rightfully at first) complained about the noise pollution of a Bitcoin mining farm. Turns out they all voted Republican. It's always "we'll deregulate and bring business" just that the modern businesses they bring are a net negative for the area except for the politicians and the companies. Is almost like these regulations were there for a reason.

Both Bitcoin and AI are stupid VC money that only matters in a very small bubble, and they're not business in a traditional sense. They just leech resources at their compute centers to make the people who own them and live far away rich. I pity all this who didn't vote for this kind of bullshit. The rest, enjoy your shorter showers and everything else! But remember, it's the Dems who want to dictate stuff like water usage. Not in my free country! Oh, the water is gone because a greedy Corp stole it? That's fine, one day it's my turn to be rich.
