"Who likes all this slop and why does nobody take credit for it?

Does Sam Altman ever walk across a neighbour that used to be pristine but is now covered in garbage?

Maybe he's the one who loves garbage.

Does he live in a trash can shaped house and keeps a cute worm as a pet?"

You could try finding out the international phonetic spelling and offering it to people. Teachers in particular should be fluent in it.

My name is [ˈjustəs] in it, for example.

Trump's ilk are using the Nazi playbook: find a visible minority that your voterbase finds uncomfortable and dehumanise it until it's okay to persecute it, then expand dehumanisation to other, less visible or uncomfortable, but troublesome groups.

When you are in an infighting competition and your opponent is the far-left.

Oh wait, they're taking their clothes off!

The ”C” in "AI" stands for "competence".

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah, that part is exceptionally nasty and serves very little point in the story.

Same, but I bought the Culture novels. They were fine, except the ugly parts.

Do you remember Dancer Bus? The Lithuanian Oem (Vėjo projektai consortium) had landed on the market in 2018 with a revolutionary bus: transparent and wind-powered. Then, in 2023, at Busworld in Brussels, it was back to make headlines with another very special vehicle: a 12-meter electric, with an unladen weight of just 8.6 tons, thanks to a strong and lightweight composite body made from plastic also collected in the oceans.

Lo and behold, unfortunately, the Lithuanian Oem has declared bankruptcy. The official announcement came on Linkedin, with a post by founder Alvydas Naujekas. A lightning bolt out of the blue? Almost, since from Busworld 2023 2023 to date there had been no particular news, neither of new products, nor of orders and deliveries from Dancer Bus, despite the company’s proclamations and plans, such as the construction of a new factory that would allow the assembly of more than 500 pieces per year.

Why Dancer Bus is bankrupt?

The pandemic hit Dancer Bus hard, and a key step came in 2022, when – as reported by the Ukrainian media ain – the company turned to the investment fund NuCapital for a 1.8 million euro loan; a loan granted until July 2025 and obtained by pledging the factory as collateral.

According to what Naujekas wrote, it was NuCapital that caused Dancer Bus to go bankrupt. The fund, however, returned the accusations to the sender, saying it was simply working to recover the loaned capital.
