They're cracking it open and sucking out the marrow.Just like every other time private equity has "leverage buyout"-ed a company into the ground.

They'll pay themselves billions in executive compensation and then move on like locusts.

Right-wingers are mad that Bethesda posted a picture of a cat on the internet. Indian Jones pets it and says "You don't like these fascists, do you."

Hit dogs started hollerin.

the search model is helpful to is all

You answered your own question. The search engine indexes your page to send traffic to you. The AI bot indexes your page to plagiarize your content.

Anecdotally, AI also routinely ignores sites' robots.txt and spoof their agents to try to hide what they're doing. A lot of site owners are complaining about the costs of delivering content to web scrapers. Where search indexes might hit a site every day, some AI bots are running every hour and just wasting their bandwidth.

DIN B125 is the class of manhole covers designated for Light to moderate loads. DIN 4271 is the standard for B125 covers that have vents. Obviously. Did you forget everything from German Manhole Cover Standards class at school? ;)

I think 10% of people believe nearly anything. It's basically the rounding error for a survey.

Honestly, if you had asked me 10 minutes ago "Is MacOS based on Linux?" I would have gotten it wrong. But if you asked "Is MacOS based on UNIX or Linux?" I would have gotten it right.

Thank God we are cutting out this wasteful science. It will pay for half of an F-35. We're buying an extra F-35, of course, so it's a net loss, but our budget is unlimited for the military.
