europe could gain greatly from a strategic realignment against american interests right now but will follow their white-supremacist death drive and fully go down with the ship as long as they get to pretend theyre part of the team

pot, meet kettle. the entire world knows that the US is the primary engine of global economic coercion, but the rest of the global north consider themselves to be junior partners in that process and temporarily embarrassed americans and would never admit this double standard

Because what they are doing is "reversing" decades of "unfair elevation of Black, Native, disabled, and other vulnerable people" to take care of the "real racism" which is "against white people, and white men in particular."

Racism is being almost explicitly defined as "against white people."

As it happens, this is almost exactly the same as Nintendo’s annual revenue. Which seems like the right comparison- a successful producer of electronic toys. on.ft.com/4nMkP0B
OpenAI books about $13bn in annual recurring revenue, 70 per cent of which comes from consumers using ChatGPT, which costs $20 for a standard subscription, according to people familiar with the company’s finances.

Lots of really good words here
The zonule of Zinn (/ˈtsɪn/) (Zinn's membrane, ciliary zonule) (after Johann Gottfried Zinn) is a ring of fibrous strands forming a zonule (little band) that connects the ciliary body with the crystalline lens of the eye.[1] The Zonular fibers are viscoelastic cables, although their component microfibrils are stiff structures. These fibers are sometimes collectively referred to as the suspensory ligaments of the lens, as they act like suspensory ligaments.

I am straight-up going to have nightmares about this
In the video Smith posted online, he said Neuralink engineers had started using language models including ChatGPT and Grok to serve up a selection of relevant replies to questions, as well as options for things he could say in conversations going on around him. One example that he outlined: “My friend asked me for ideas for his girlfriend who loves horses. I chose the option that told him in my voice to get her a bouquet of carrots. What a creative and funny idea.” These aren’t really his thoughts, but they will do—since brain-clicking once in a menu of choices is much faster than typing out a complete answer, which can take minutes.
