Elon Musk is directing harassment towards individual federal workers.
theverge.com/2024/11/22/24303594/elon-musk-harassing-federal-workers-x
Is he really, O Verge?
The example cited, singular, is of Musk suggesting that Director of Climate Diversification at the International Development Finance Corporation was a "fake job".
Now, "climate diversification" in this sense means recommending alternative crops to grow to make the food supply more robust against short and long term changes in weather.
Which is a task that could easily by filled by a fairly small agriculture book.
And in this case, it involves making those recommendations to other countries.
So, never mind "individual workers". End USAID. -

The problem is clear: Our customers are dumb.
intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/ai-pcs-can-help-users-reclaim-time-chores.html
Intel commissioned a study to find out how much more efficient users were when equipped with a fancy new "AI PC".
It turned out:
>At the same time, AI PCs offered a potentially transformative impact on people's lives, saving individuals roughly 240 minutes a week on routine digital tasks. But the study also highlighted that current AI PC owners spend longer on tasks than their counterparts using traditional PCs. Study results show that greater consumer education is needed to bridge the gap between the promise and reality of AI PCs.
AI PCs make things worse, but the real problem is the users. -

Woman reveals her plans to have sex with Elon Musk and give birth to first 'Martian baby'
dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14098425/Woman-reveals-plans-sex-Elon-Musk-birth-Martian-baby-tech-billionaire-goes-mission-colonise-Mars.html
She's an OnlyFans model (porn actress) who wants to fly to Mars with Elon and have a kid. The interesting part was this, however:
>But according to scientists, the difficulties of having sex on Mars make this highly improbable, if not impossible. Kelly Weinersmith, a bioscientist and author based in Charlottesville, Virginia, says people who want to populate Mars 'don't understand how reproduction works'.
>Weinersmith, who authored the 2023 book 'A City on Mars' with her husband Zach, told the Times: 'These billionaires think it's an engineering problem.
>'They think that if they get a rocket that's big enough, biology will take care of itself – but it won't.'
>Couples could risk the health of their unborn baby by conceiving in space, whether they're on Mars or orbiting around Earth on the ISS.
They don't say why, however. Now I'm curious why they think you can't get knocked up unless you're on Earth. -

Bluesky is a new kind of social network. Decentralised and freed from the control of any single company, it is resistant to groupthink and censorship and if you say there are only two genders you will be banned instantly without ever getting the opportunity to type nigger.

When leftoids talk about censorship, they mean censorship of them.
They insist on censorship of you. -

The Twitch Adpocalypse is here, with streamers reporting their income has suddenly declined by as much as 95% as the house of cards burns down, falls over, and sinks into the swamp.
I don't have a link to a good story covering this yet, because the written articles are useless and the video coverage is obnoxious. Twitch was offering absurdly favourable pay scales to its preferred coterie of lunatics and ethots, and the advertisers got fed up with the crap their ads were shown against and left.
Jeff Bezos has a bad habit of buying companies and leaving them to be destroyed by lunatics. -

The game has sold around 385k copies, and has a peak under 90k players.
It needs 6 times that to break even. -

Meta (Facebook) is laying people off again.
11,000 were laid off in 2022, and another 10,000 last year. In addition, 5000 open positions were cancelled entirely.
No numbers yet for this round of layoffs but it does appear to be smaller.

Intel is laying off 1300 workers at its Oregon foundry as part of its company-wide reduction of 15,000.
Like Boeing, Intel worked long and hard to achieve this disaster.

We keep pushing products that nobody wants, and for some reason people aren't buying them.

It's a meh year for desktop PCs, and a lousy year for Windows. There are a couple of bright spots in the laptop market, with AMD's Ryzen 370 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series, but not enough to lift PC sales out of the doldrums. -

80% of developers will need to "upskill" by 2027 to keep pace with the growing demands of unmitigated faggotry.

Geoff Hinton and John Hopfield have won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work in AI.
techcrunch.com/2024/10/08/geoff-hinton-and-john-hopfield-win-nobel-prize-in-physics-for-their-work-in-foundational-ai/
Real AI, not this modern LLaMa crap.
Hinton invented the technique of back propagation in 1978, and Hopfield invented the Hopfield network in 1982, which is a form of recurrent neural network, or a spin glass system, that can serve as a content-addressable memory. (you may need to look up wikipedia to learn what any of that means)
The key trick for winning the Nobel Prize, well except the Peace prize anyway, continues to be not dying before the committee recognises your work. Hinton is 76; Hopfield is 91.
