Twitter is mostly bots (take almost any response and look at the account history).

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that Twitter / X noise is consensus.

The biggest industry in the world is importing top talent from around the world? Who’d have guessed?

What’s an activist judge? Do you believe a judge can just rule whatever they want outside the framework of law?

AI is not more expensive than paying a human employee. AI is not capable of replacing a human employee yet so the premise of the title is wrong.

Either this is sarcasm or you’re not old enough to use Internet.

Modern society has taught us human value is proportional to their productivity capacity. i.e. Homelessness it’s seen more like an inconvenience than anything else mostly because deep inside people believe if they were just more productive they would be back on track.

If you add that to the market expectation that most work will become redundant then it’s not hard to see why people are fearful of AI.

Thankfully we have you to tells us what true Catholicism is like. Maybe the Pope could come learn a little bit from you.

Musk doesn’t seem particularly good at lawsuits. Remember when he was suing Twitter to get out of having to buy them?

Perhaps he lacks good lawyers, perhaps he just can’t find substance and he’s filling out of spite.

I'm happy I'm no longer a shareholder of this company.

Software stocks won't win longterm if their value proposition is "we vibe code now".

Paying the person's income + bonus is a lot cheaper and safer than revese engineer some processes.

This is the holy-grail in TradFI, not sure if it applies to fintech. It's not uncommon to hear from people who own an internal process only they know that's essentially their whole job security.

The extreme being people that produce only one report a month and that more than justifies their income + bonus.

Breaking up big tech would make US markets more competitive, not less.

Agree. I'm more reliant on having a keyboard than on having copilot make tab suggestions and I wouldn't like my PRs to include a tag: "Keystrokes courtesy of: Keychron K3 Max".

Regardless of tech you can always improve your speech. I had a Japanese girlfriend who went through the process and 80% of the results where accomplished by learning the ~20 vowel sounds found in American english (vs her native 5 vowel sounds).
