You probably don't realize, but there's a connection between Brexit and "Mr. Brexit".

I think you agree with Marx ;)

> The petite bourgeoise sink[s] gradually into the proletariat, partly because their diminutive capital does not suffice for the scale on which Modern Industry is carried on, and is swamped in the competition with the large capitalists, partly because their specialized skill is rendered worthless by new methods of production.

Bullshit. That's giving trump too much credit. He doesn't behave rationally, he doesn't have best interest of his country and certainly not world at large at the remaining bits of his mind at all.

Any different company providing the routing can be financially or otherwise incentivized to route this way or another.

But this is silly.I can't imagine any "offline mapping application" or "Linux CLI utility" or "self-hostable web app" will be produced without AI in any near future and be better for that.

Citation needed.

What was the relative value of the companies before the merge?

He publicly and financially supported literal fascists in Germany. Nothing can be more blatant than that. QED.

Have you seen the outputs from OpenAI's latest image model? I believe it is called "Image 2.0", is just a few weeks old and - to my untrained eyes - the outputs including text are astonishing.

That sounds just like Microsoft, Facebook or Oracle products (in some circles). What I'm trying to say it is classic strategy done many times before with various tools (and I hate the perpetrators every time).

But has there ever been an advanced, more civilized means to change tested and demonstrated? All I can think of was broadly diluted violence, applied systematically in an industrialized way against large populations - economic hardships, lowering life quality, health etc - instead of focused, more local flare ups.

This is called "gold open access" and is a scam. It's just journals hijacking the open access initiative and raping it.

In terms of civilian deaths, Oct 7 is the least important event in this entire fuckup. Or do you think Palestinian lives matter less?
