"Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me." - Donald Trump, Jan 2026

A scandal a day makes day trading on war news from the oval office okay
Space Age is superbly balanced because it’s dynamic, offering multiple paths.
You can mega Nauvis with molten foundries, but that requires importing Calcite.
You can mega Gleba for just-in-time and resource generating blades, but how do you handle stone?
Vulcanus offers limitless resources- yet other planets may actually offer more.
Fulgora offers much if you learn modular design.
How do you handle quality? Dedicated factories, or integrated with production? How much footprint reduction do you want, and how much input efficiency via production modules. But that requires circling back to Nauvis…
Status is transformative, and addictive.
Unfortunately computers generate heat, so while Elon can build a business running on hot air on earth, he will not be able to do so in space.
Perfect, minus that pesky law of thermodynamics.
A great business for the rocket logistics company since radiators are a thing.
A less good business for the data center company.
It is not complicated.
Because of the valuations of Open AI and Anthropic, Sam Altman may be credited with one of the all-time most damaging brand decisions when he got in bed with Trump’s department of war crimes.
This should have been SO OBVIOUS. Attempts to paper over the damage with a $100 billion dollar round will crumble after the IPO. Poor decisions generate poor options, and the whole industry smells his desperation.
Decisions at the highest level are indistinguishable from responsibility. All Sam accomplished was showing the world he is structurally unfit for moral leadership.
So thank the ~80,000 employees at Facebook working tirelessly to make the platform as shoddy as possible.
The Patriot Act and spying on US citizens was a major issue a decade ago.
The prevalence of data and a general sense of powerlessness means this won't get talked about much sadly.
Open AI had first mover advantage.
Sam squandered it.
For 50 years we've known EVERYTHING Trump touches turns to mierde.
Sam thought he was special. He is not.
I do think OpenAI's brand is dumpstered.
Department of War just killed OpenAI's brand
Instant uninstall.
Whichever PM sold glazing as a core feature should be ejected into space.
This is what always happen when your general purpose tool needs to be marketed through use cases.
But can you make it talk dirty to me

Its the fundamental flaw of outsourcing manufacturing abroad. You cede all growth from innovation.
It would be like trying to measure the GDP of the renaissance, then predict which artists to invest in.
It is a little amusing that we've crowned OpenAI as the destined mother of AGI long before the little sentient chickens have hatched.
The website is twitter.com. Why call it something else?
The OpenAI board was merely demonstrating that not all humans should be trusted with the power of AGI..
Quora is the text version of the Chumbox.
The chumbox is slang for the part of news site web design you... try to ignore. These sites managed to optimize their design for <10% of users who will click just about anything.
For me personally, likely Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice.
One of those random books you purloin in youth, and a total departure from her standard narrative fiction fare. It's a retelling of the original cosmic myth from the... rebellious perspective.
D'Angelo is mad he weaponized web design against Quora users for years because he would go bankrupt otherwise, and now he is going bankrupt anyway. Adam is at war with god, not OpenAI.
Why jockey for a board seat when you can harbor the org
