Oh lovely, we're becoming a Grifters' Republic of Social Media.

Yeah people clearly think "creatives" are a class apart from white-collar workers.

Well mainly because it sucks living under the Trump Administration, even if supporting them is objectively the most accelerationist move.

Canada is not a modern, developed country?

Have you seen the roads there?

yes the roads, which in some municipalities, are paved in a manner acording to who voted for who on some country roads, with perfect asphalt extending the whole way in front of one big farm, exactly between property markers. But that, and other things are what you get from a constitutional monarchy that has some if the oddest legal provisions on the planet. I wont say we like it, but we are good at it.

>Last year, Ubisoft turned outside the company for assistance, creating a new business entity to manage Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six with a 25% stake from Tencent.

Enshittifying three whole product lines to own the workers.

> Wars, a revocation of trucker drivers’ licenses (already happening in Cali), deportations, tariffs, the collapse of USMCA…the uncertainty is near endless.

So, uh, did business owners actually take any of these things, which very much were promised during campaign season, into account when voting? Or did they walk into the ballot box thinking, "no-one wants to work anymore!" and pull the lever for the guy promising to make applicants a bit more motivated to work at lower wages?

I'd like to back you up and point out that I've considered doing the same. If VCs will throw money at anyone promising to advance the SOTA in AI, and I can promise that, why am I bothering to keep looking for research positions or with a financially flailing industry employer?

Fair enough. My product is very much non-tech (CPG - beverage). But you're right that VCs are still throwing money around like its the ZIRP days. If you have an idea, go for it.

LOL the primary reason I haven't done it was needing to come up with a concrete business model and MVP.

Nonetheless, we did not vote directly for or against any particular data-center. They don't go up for a vote that way. It would take forever and nothing would get built if you gave voters a possible veto on literally every single thing.

> This suggests that the EM structure isn’t just an analogy — it’s the natural grain of the optimization landscape

As someone in the field, this means nothing, and I'm very suspicious of the article as a whole because it has so many sentences like this.

No, to avoid ending up on the wrong side of bond markets, which at this point can force even rich governments to avoid things like raising taxes or limiting the "right" of foreign invaders to buy up assets inside the country.
