A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.
The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

It’s good to review this in light of things en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com... and remember around 50% if companies at that time managed to continue, some becoming very large. I expect something similar to happen after the gen AI bubble bursts in the upcoming recession.

Sorry, but you don’t get to drone strike vessels and double tap the survivors in international waters and then pretend you care about military law.
The Pentagon announced Monday it is investigating Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona over possible breaches of military law after the former Navy pilot joined a handful of other lawmakers in a video that called for troops to defy "illegal orders."

I believe ChatGPT is on the same trajectory as Slack in the enterprise. While it has the best user experience, the fact both Copilot & Gemini are deeply integrated into their respective product suites will trump user experience.

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.
