@atrupar They can’t even clear middle-school math.
Up to $600 = +500%.
Back to $100 = −83%.
600% drop isn’t a thing—unless prices go below zero.

@schumisnoopy Is that a lot?

[Grady Booch @Grady_Booch]

The cult of Trump demonstrates that there is some non-small percentage of Americans who willingly celebrate ignorance and incompetence while simultaneously surrendering their humanity.

In the context of the rise of LLMs this is particularly disturbing, because such systems are precisely the kind of opiate that offers coherency without understanding, confidence without truth, assistance without empathy.

Matters are further exasperated when such systems are promoted by rapacious sociopaths such as Altman, Musk, Andreessen, and Thiel.

A hastily planned street course race. What could possibly go wrong? 🤦‍♂️ #indycar
