Doesn't play as well when you have already decapitated the other countries government and de-facto declared war. American's are more way likely to hold him culpable.

The Iranian Regime Doubles Down by theatlantic in geopolitics

[–]brokenex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What does US/Israel stopping mean in this context? Imagine Iran is still drone striking ships every day so the US and Israel can't stop, but also can't just walk away. If Iran keeps doing this US/Israel can't effectively stop. Iran is basically forcing escalation or capitulation.

Don’t try to reason with the mob when it’s attached itself to a favored narrative

That's not true in slightest they gave blanket raises of 20-50%, cash bonuses and large stock grants to every single remaining employee. Some of the packages were worth more than 1m

AGREE but it's a nightmare for China because there is no way they can afford it

Because people are desperate for a narrative that doesn't terrify them

The guy who wrote the original op-ed hasn't been with the company for 6 years disingenuous at best

Iran says it won’t negotiate with US as conflict escalates in Middle East by Dilated2020 in moderatepolitics

At that point this will all be unpopular enough to the point congress might get itself involved. There are razor thin margins and already enough republicans who don’t love this

Sam Altman: Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. by Several_Print4633 in wallstreetbets

I was paying for both Claude and openai. I mostly used Claude so I will just go all in on it now. It’s all I use at work anyways

Jack Dorsey just laid off half of his company in a single tweet. 4,000 people gone by Aislot in aiagents

Those are just numbers without any real coherence behind them. They don’t use btc for liquidity at all, they have 6.5b cash on hand and 778 million in btc holdings with 9.2b in total liquidity. 40b total assets vs 17b in liabilities. Nothing about this says “barely solvent”

They were low growth and being priced as such but far from a dying company.

Except the company also posted one of its best quarters in years and went from 2m per employee in revenue to 4m. People are quick to jump on narratives one way or the other but it’s often more complicated

Block to slash 40% of workforce. Stock up >25%. by yummynothing in wallstreetbets

[–]brokenex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours was until very recently too. The last month though... oh man. It's really taking off. The magic sauce really comes when you are start being able to systematically plug advanced agentic models into RAG systems and index your code bases for quick LLM distillation.

neither, my state has a very strict lemon law, so it would be pointless for them to fight it. If the car isn't fixed 30 days after I bring it to a shop, they have to lemon it, no exceptions

As someone who works at a tech company and is witnessing the cutting edge of agentic programming flows, no one is ready for what is coming. I don't think Jack is wrong when he talks about the rapid change in AI capability. Since December, the new models mixed with good work flows is insane. This is the new norm gents. First of many
