Silicon Valley has become a cancer on the world. There are too many companies run by greedy, unhinged psychopaths who do not care how their products and services affect the world. It’s not just Thiel’s companies. It’s Meta and Google and Apple and Amazon and Uber and OpenAI.

The only thing Silicon Valley is missing is a series of volcano lairs for their founders and CEOs.

They stopped making them because the 500 Euro note was the choice currency of transnational criminals.

My conspiracy theory is that they intentionally made the internet search engines awful to force us to use AI.

Russian soldiers have been recorded surrendering to both aerial drones and ground robots in this war, including by writing messages of surrender that they presented to the operator via the onboard camera and surrendering after notes telling them to do so were dropped by drones.

Surrendering to a machine sounds humiliating but still a better option than going back to the Russian military.
