Then he gets a text: "There was an accident"

No elaboration. Nobody picks up their phone. Texts go unread.

It doesn't help with the hate that LLMs have some obvious flaws but tech bros are dead set on declaring it the future and ramming it in every product foie gras style.

one has to credit Democrats’ outright stupidity and obstinance in the face of a base demanding real change.

They're beholden to the same forces of campaigning and capital in a first-past -the-post system. If they wanted change that matters, their financial backers pull out.

Or use plotters. These are the same X-Y setup as a 3D printer, where you use a pen instead of an extrusion module. There are a bunch of DIY projects for this. But now you're talking about minutes per page, not pages per minute.

Most CEOs do try to stay out of the spotlight. Those that are more in the spotlight at least try to do some positive PR and not rock the boat too much. Security through obscurity if you will.

Of course Musk and Zuckerberg are some of the few that dance with the devil in the spotlight and have made their company/ies their whole personality. They paint their faces larger than life on the company and then act surprised when people take it personally.

Trump will be remembered as the spark that caused the old world order to blow up, causing a lot of changes in the way things are done. China becomes the manufacturer of clean energy and uses their new status as having the reserve currency to stamp out all fossil fuels.
