This isn’t about us not having enough usage or picking the wrong plan.
I’ve been buying the 12-inch pizza from your place forever, and you guys have always given me a normal 12-inch. Then one day I open the box and it’s a 6-inch. You tell me costs got too high, so from now on the “12-inch” is actually 6 inches, and if I’m still hungry it’s my fault for not choosing the right size.
That’s insane.
If you needed to cut costs, just tell us ahead of time. If your pizza is good and I still want it, I can just order two or three of these fake 12-inch ones. Or if I’m not full, I can go somewhere else. Either way that’s my call, not yours.
But you don’t get to keep selling me a normal 12-inch and then suddenly shrink it to 6 inches with zero notice, not even a heads-up so I can adjust. Don’t turn around and say I picked the wrong subscription. The problem is you unilaterally changed what you were delivering without telling anyone.

Michigan Democratic Party chair Curtis Hertel removes Haley Stevens from the Michigan Democratic Party following endorsement of Mike Rogers:
"Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future."

In 2022, I worked for Haley Stevens’ campaign. Over my time working there I quickly learned that she was bought and sold by AIPAC. A Democrat from the middle of America, obsessed with foreign interests and willing to sell herself and us out for it. 1/4

I don't understand how this is legal.
If you walk into a tire center and order 4 tires for $1200 and they are 80,000 mile BFGoodwrench tires, then the next week, you go to have them put on and instead they install cheaper 20,000 mile house brand tires...
And the tire center says, "these are costing us too much so we installed the 20,000 mile tires instead." And they refuse to give you a refund.
There would literally be massive legal ramifications and the tire shop would be liable.
I paid for a specific multiple of a specific amount after months of testing. Now that multiple has been cut in half, mid-cycle, with no warning.
I would argue this is a direct violation of the FEC rules (16 CFR Part 238).
Pricing pages and marketing made the multipliers look like fixed relative entitlements for the billing period, and the reduction was extreme and sudden with no notice, there is a colorable argument that the original offer was misleading. That is different from a pure “rate limits at our discretion” clause.

If you’ll abandon your convictions because someone slighted you personally … you never really had any convictions in the first place.
Really susprised that the Shahrukhz building by @danubeprop isn't designed this way @iamsrk

So I recently badgered my cinematographer @steveyedlin into making my ideal iPhone still camera app. It shoots RAW, bypasses the iPhone's look processing and instead uses the same image processing we use on our movies. apps.apple.com/app/apple-sto…

🚨La IA está costando MÁS que los empleados a los que reemplazó.
Y las grandes empresas ya lo admiten en público:
→ Uber desplegó IA entre sus 5.000 ingenieros. En 4 meses agotaron TODO el presupuesto anual. Su COO reconoce que no puede justificar el gasto.
→ Microsoft ha retirado licencias de IA a sus propios desarrolladores para frenar costes.
→ Starbucks eliminó su sistema de inventario con IA tras 9 meses. Funcionaba peor que un empleado.
→ El vicepresidente de NVIDIA dijo recientemente que “La IA está costando más que los trabajadores humanos”
Nos vendieron que la IA iba a ahorrar millones.
La realidad → los costes se disparan, los resultados no llegan y las empresas están dando marcha atrás.
Estamos ante el principio del fin de la burbuja de la IA?
Talk about shooting themselves in the foot. May this be the start of the decline of this nonsense

Sam Altman thinks RAM sitting in personal computers is a waste when it could be put to better use in data centers.
Weird. I was just thinking that all those billions sitting in billionaires’ bank accounts could be put to much better use in our communities.
