@nymbusjp 🤣 oh dear, this is pre 1991? I’m stopping here, such is your historical illiteracy and insistence on Kremlin talking points. Hope they are at least paying you well.

@nymbusjp There is zero evidence that the west provoked Russia. Indeed we foolishly turned the other cheek while they shot down airliners and used nerve agent on British soil (to pick two examples). No genocide? No sane person could argue this credibly faced with the evidence from Bucha.

@nymbusjp If “but the imaginary collective west provoked us to launch a genocidal invasion” is what you truly believe then I can’t help you and further argument would be pointless. It’s a bit like if you suddenly insisted LiDAR will win :)

@nymbusjp Go ahead and tell me why screwing Ukraine condemning Ukrainian civilians helps when Putin has repeatedly refused all attempts to negotiate? If you “make” peace by blinking first, Russia will simply rearm and come after the rest of Europe. Then we really will be in a trench.

@lingxi @bot - Ability to give Bots different accents to match persona, rather than defaulting to American female.
- Bot auto selects higher intelligence model according to sophistication of question / task / role within a team.
- Ability to give Bot own inbox (@botmail.com or similar?)

@simonrohrbach That’s a sharp observation, but the sentence is doing a lot of work

@FutureJurvetson @elonmusk @buccocapital Exactly! Presumably the most disturbing implication for Amazon is that an agent won’t be swayed by their product ranking / sponsored product placement. The ads segment makes up a substantial % of profits… they don’t break it out but plausibly almost half…

@wholemars Elon: “Many of Tesla’s customers aren’t buying the car, they’re buying FSD with a car attached.” (Or words to that effect). FSD is the product.

@tb_travis Underappreciated advantage. Glad someone else finally noticed!

Please talk about this, scream about this, don’t let them fucking get away with this, please

@prolongera @jobyaviation They’ve said it’ll be the same price as Uber Black per mile which I think is about $6 so… $124 JFK to Manhattan rough ballpark?
