I'm most known as Leina, aka The North-East Recluse. I pretend to be a red panda online and blather on about videogames, mostly, but also other nerd stuff, furry stuff, and also the odd serious topic like UK politics, mental health and gender identity.

The point of school is to prepare young people for life. Bullying is about hierarchy. Life is about hierarchy. This is why they come down so hard on pupils who DO fight back. Because the very worse thing in life those lower down in the hierarchy can do is DARE to rise about their station.

It would genuinely have been better for Turning Point not to publicly release the essay. Even apart from the transphobia, it's just dogshit writing. There is no university worth the paper its degrees are are printed on that would accept this essay.

As someone who was alive in an era where technology actually made things better and was worth the investment, it has been galling to sit through *almost two decades* of seeing the entire sector turned into an infinite money glitch.
One thing I learned over the weekend from talking to finance people is that they assume the AI bubble is going to burst and their issue is figuring out when so they can time their trades right.

Related tangetically, Fads (YT) posted a video about Cybertrucks that goes into the funding/profit switcheroo these rich tech bros‘ companies/branches of their companies do and I think everyone should watch it.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?
