I believe he borrowed money from his parents to buy DOS, for a lot less than it was worth.

Bezos also borrowed money from his step-dad to start Amazon. hmm seems to be a theme with all these “self-made” billionaires

Bill Gates is not a technology expert, he’s a business man. like all tech CEOs he has no idea what he’s talking about. he never created anything in his life, he pays other people to do that. all he knows is how to turn money into more money

"Wow I loved that AI generated movie I wonder what these people will do next” nothing they don’t exist they will never wear something crazy to the met gala or go rogue in an interview or have a fascinating break up for you to obsess over, you just watched a screensaver

lol is he trying to make a case for replacing actors with AI? I don’t want to hear about these people’s stupid relationships or what they wore to some party for rich assholes

Are all the headsets just hanging on the wall unused now?

most certainly, it’s basically a glorified dev kit at this point, and there’s just not much to do on it. probably some folks bought it to develop apps for it, but idk how many since there’s such a small user base

the only thing I can think of to actually do with it is watch movies on a big cinema screen. it seems decent for that, but even then it’s probably not comfortable enough to wear for 2 hours straight

I don’t think they’re claiming that these drives use AI technology, it’s more that they’re specifically optimized for use in AI workstations. it’s just a new specialized category of HDDs like surveillance drives, NAS drives, etc.

no you see the difference is that now they only allow porn

hell yeah this is the kind of apocalyptic freak shit I like to see. if we have to live in a dystopia it might as well an interesting one

“free NFT” is like giving someone “free $0”

nice. looks promising, thanks!

I wonder if he played this song on a loudspeaker as he left the building

so at least for now this is only available for “Copilot Plus PCs”. the fuck is that?

jfc… money and fame are some of the primary tools that predators like Drake use to take advantage of their victims. this has been a systemic problem in the entertainment industry for a long time and everyone knows it. that’s gotta be the weakest defense I’ve ever heard, it might as well be an admission of guilt

October the 7th be with you

seems I’ve finally let my 𝕏 account expire after being deactivated for long enough. same account I had since 2009. feels bittersweet but alas, I am finally free

just finished it - holy fuck lmao. that shit was intense. easily my favorite movie of the year so far, probably of the past few years tbh. can’t wait to see what Rose Glass does next

oh and it’s from the director of Saint Maud which was really good! (also very disturbing)

Love Lies Bleeding (new sapphic crime thriller) just dropped, gonna watch it tonight. I will watch just about any movie about lesbians but this one is supposed to be quite good

Ive complained about the look of the exterior scenes before but I do love the interiors. all the scenes on Arrakeen look like an Unreal Tournament map

about to watch Dunes (Part One & Two) as a single 5-hour movie

dunno why I’m doing this, I didn’t really like either film

I was looking for a particular brand of tortilla chips that I know my grocery store carries, and they had all the brands except the one I was looking for, so I gave up. later I’m in the cheese aisle, and there they are - my fucking tortilla chips. how could I have possibly known to look for them there?? it’s a good thing I needed cheese
