@AnneMarieFlynn2 @giveashitnature Even before the scientists, we need the ecosystem to science on.

@giveashitnature @contrarian4data This was the basis of my public policy masters thesis.

MPPs are wholly ignored, these days.

@Beyond_Mystic Surprised at this, really.

50s-60s Stepfordism drove (thinking) women insane. The current scheiße isn't the only alternative. You should discuss this with your clatch.

The level of control this demonstrates is f-ing impressive!!

Party like it's 1999.

The AI numbers are starting to look very ugly.

Even under "best case" assumptions, FT's own data shows Microsoft AI ROI at -9%, Google at -15%, Meta at -28%, Oracle at -35%. Only Amazon barely comes out positive.

This is exactly why I keep comparing this to the dot-com era. Incredible technology does not automatically mean sustainable economics. The internet survived. Most internet companies didn't.

Right now hyperscalers are spending trillions hoping future demand catches up to present capex. That's not certainty. That's a leveraged bet.

@lladnaros @beffjezos True - improvement follows measurement.

Are you familiar with Tom Campbell?

[Leith Harmon @leith_harmon]

@BrianRoemmele I still have my Powerbook.😝

[Leith Harmon @leith_harmon]

@lladnaros @beffjezos Can the register hold that large a negative number?

Forty years ago, I was required to have two semesters of "Classics for Engineers¹" to graduate from Michigan. I also had a required philosophy/polysci elective. My nephew graduated in '23 without a Classics requirement. Another nephew, currently at Illinois, has no Classics requirement.

¹Prof. Weeks was awesome.
