We had a digital AI that could make decisions for executives in the 70s, and it only needed a nine volt battery! How's that for a ROI!
The Tandy Executive Decision maker next to it's box and original manual. It's a small rectangle with wood laminate sides, and a chrome trimmed black panel on top. The top panel has an 'Ask' button, and six light illuminated sections that say 'Deffinately', 'Ask Again', 'Never', 'Forget It', 'Why Not', and 'Possibly'.

When you give the NY Times the same defence for your actions as bankers doing lines of coke in the bathroom, maybe reconsider your life choices? archive.is/YVOAz
Quoted article text - 'Asserted Rosenbaum, "Anyone who is a working writer today who sits in
front of a computer, either doing longform or on deadline or at magazines, whatever the cadence of your work is, you're using AL one way or another at least in part because it is not only seductive as hell but it's really incredibly valuable."'

A graphic in the style of the Burger King logo with the text replaced by "I don't know why the chain companies except for the two big burger places gave up on plant based options. It's not that we stopped wanting them, and it's absolutely just a matter of substituting a couple of ingredients with ones that are either shelf stable or long-freezable. But now if I need to stop for food somewhere I don't know, it's inevitably going to be a fast food burger. And no, we don't want the vegetable slurry pucks, or spinach lumps. Come on, surely you can find some space in the freezer for plant based mince and a stack of cheeze slices if the fast food places can."

Metaverse Cryptoland Techbros are now entering the 'Find Out' stage.
Twitter post from Peter Girnus :

My net worth peaked at $1.2 million.

None of it was real. 

I don't mean that philosophically. I mean it was located on servers that have since been turned off. 

I own eleven properties in the metaverse. Three in Decentraland. Four in The Sandbox. Two in Voxels. One in Otherside. And a beachfront villa in Horizon Worlds that I bought for $214,000 because Mark Zuckerberg called it "the next frontier.'

The frontier closed last week.

This looks a whole lot like stock manipulation. Nvidia Stock price pushed up by small out of hours trades, then a big sell off in the early hours of the morning at that higher price. If the act of a single stock manipulator, they have been making millions each time they do this.
Graph showing a massive early morning spike in trade volume, from trades in the tens, to 534509 units of Nvidia common stock sold at 8AM. Previous close was $186.5, shares sold at $189.21.
