OK guys, I figured out OpenAI’s business plan. (We are currently on phase 2.)
Sam Altman: "I have no idea how we may one day generate revenue. We have made a soft promise to investors that once we've built this sort of generally intelligent system, basically, we will ask it to figure out a way to generate an investment return for you. It sounds like an episode of Silicon
Valley. It really does. I get it, you can laugh. It's all right. But it is what I actually believe is going to happen."

Netflix sent me an email advertising an "America 250" content block - half of which were directed by non-Americans. This bugs me so now I'm making it your problem.

How is AI impacting my work? Well for starters I get a lot of fuckin emails about AI.
A screenshot of a mobile email inbox in dark mode showing five messages: Atlassian promoting Rovo AI tips (2:27 PM), Figma with an AI workplace survey (1:01 PM), Bitbucket advertising Bitbucket Premium with AI features (12:13 PM), Udemy Business encouraging March skill-building (9:33 AM), and Gemini sending notes titled “Shell Design” dated March 10, 2026 (7:08 AM), with a partial Confluence email at the bottom (1:33 AM). Unread emails appear in bold. A document attachment labeled “Shell Design” is visible beneath the Gemini email.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Epstein and Scaramucci discussing... well you can see for yourself.
Anthony Scaramucci and Jeffrey Epstein discuss Trump having legal troubles and his CFO getting immunity, then touch on how it is better to let Trump resign instead of "doing what they did to JFK".

Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken!

To have his knee caps split, and his body burned away!

And his limbs all hacked, and mangled, Brave Sir Robin!

His head smashed in, and his heart cut out, and his liver removed,

And his bowels unplugged, and his nostrils raped, and his bottom burnt off, and his penis spli--
