I mean, Microsoft also invented the XHR, so that was definitely a huge plus. As much as monopolies suck, there’s definitely major value in being the adult in the room.

Funny, this is how I view Andreessen-Horowitz and their peers

“I view Stanford and MIT as mainly political lobbying operations fighting American innovation at this point,” Andreessen wrote in screenshots of messages sent May 3 and reviewed by The Post.

Thousands of sex workers are being swept up in targeted ICE raids of massage parlors and abducted off streets with the help of facial recognition. Law enforcement is using the threat of deportation to commit widespread sexual assault.

But the larger immigrant rights movement is shunning them.

President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico is considering taking legal action after one of SpaceX’s giant Starship rockets disintegrated in June in a giant fireball. The explosion rained down detritus on beaches in northern Mexico and, environmental groups say, caused die-offs of marine life.

AI is being used to justify firing workers at major tech companies, leaving those that remain to pick up the pieces.

AI code is being shoveled into crucial Google products, replacing trainers at TikTok, and worse.

This, in tech workers' own words, is how AI is killing jobs in Silicon Valley.

When you read the article, it’s clear that there’s no actual opposition. Instead there’s the fact that no company is asking for this pipeline. Eby is literally owned by Oil and Gas.

His owners allowed him to say that? Or did he just say nothing?
