What the fuck kind of upside-down world are we living in? Donald Trump Jr. admits Russian oligarch with Putin ties partially funded wedding celebration. The couple described Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev as a "dear friend" who generously funded a three-day party for the Trumps in the Bahamas.

Insomma, dai documenti declassificati da Trump, emerge come le fake news su Burisma e Hunter Biden erano una psyop russa. Ma dai? Era evidente a tutti, tranne ai complottari filorussi e pro-Trump. Ennesima dimostrazione che se sei filorusso e MAGA, sei più stupido della media.

Allucinante. L'ultimo degli sguatteri della propaganda russa sa in anticipo dell'intervista del Fatto Quotidiano a Solovyov, ed invita ad abbonarsi al giornale. È sempre più chiaro che c'è una galassia di traditori che fa da ponte tra il FQ e RT. Questa è una cosa gravissima.

Iran is under an internet blackout. Iranian protestors aren’t seeing Trump’s posts (who knows how many usually would, but they aren’t now). This message isn’t for them. A show of pretend toughness for Iran regime change advocates, and pretend concern while violently repressing protestors at home.

OpenAI expects to be profitable in 2029-2030. Some 15 years after starting. If we consider it the next wave of bit techs, then think of this: * Google was profitable in year 3 * Facebook (seemingly starting with no monetization idea) was so in year 6 OpenAI? Year 15. Probably. Maybe.
