Intel just can't catch a break

While I am a fan of AMD, Intel has done incredible things in the past. They really need to get their shit together.

Maybe those board and ceo shenanigans did leave a bad taste internally, afterall.

Some really beautiful shots in the video.

In a surprise to absolutely nobody - it sucks.

Winter Olympics, radio pips, MGM and TV images.

Now that is how you run a proper scam.

Take notes, kids!

The GitHub issue. Well worth a read.

I'd say that's unexpected, but nothing really is in this saga anymore. Yay public fuck ups! I can now put my popcorn down.

This is the most ridiculous situation I can remember in recent corporate times. 🍿

Well that was quick.

OpenAI was deliberately structured to advance our mission: to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all humanity. The board remains fully committed to serving this mission.

Registered surgeons - men and women - were invited to take part completely anonymously and 1,434 responded. Half were women:

    63% of women had been the target of sexual harassment from colleagues
    30% of women had been sexually assaulted by a colleague
    11% of women reported forced physical contact related to career opportunities
    At least 11 incidents of rape were reported
    90% of women, and 81% of men, had witnessed some form of sexual misconduct

This is all self reported, but the numbers are still incredibly high.

TL;DR: kids have to be exposed to allergens at an early age as that is a natural mechanism to build up resistance.
