-Comes into your space uninvited, without permission

-Greedily uses up resources preferentially

- Forces a new mode of existence on you

-Steals your own shit to sell back to you

-Desperately wants to convince you that its arrival is good, that these are glad tidings

AI or colonialism?

Burry’s Palantir trade is roughly an order of magnitude biggerβ€”and more interesting imoβ€”than the Nvidia puts.

Beware of bitches with bad energy.

My new mantra after I let an energy vampire get a little bit too close.

The dog’s name is Watson. He wears a bow tie and a sweater so he means business.

Beware of bitches with bad energy.

Why, getting to claim millions in tax deductions for it. All you have to do is make a case you’re using it for business, which turns o...
