I didnt know that Ireland was piloting a Basic Income for Artists program. Pretty awesome: for every €1 of public money invested in the pilot, society received €1.39 in return

Basic Income for the Arts pilot produced over €100 million in Social and Economic Benefits
The findings of this external report from Alma Economics show that the real net fiscal cost of the BIA pilot over the period 2021–2025 was just under €72 million

OpenAI to Coinbase (who spent $65M on Datadog in a single year)
"Hold my beer"
OpenAI spending $150M+ per year on Datadog, as per several reputable analysts... more than 2x of what Datadog spent
Like Coinbase, OpenAI will surely bring this level of spending on-house soon tho
