Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

Donna Morris' base pay is not public but just 2024 her BONUS ALONE was $8 million. And based on current market price her Walmart stock grants is worth $53 million.
According to Walmart itself the typical "associate" earns $18.25/hour nationwide. Less so in other countries.
So yeah give up your life.
