Yeah, this is the biggest question for all the LLMs. When are they actually going to turn a profit and how?

They seem to be doing the Uber model of flooding the market to then hike prices, but I don't see how people are going to be able to afford it. I guess it is just training them to then sell them to companies?

There has been a surprising amount of controversy between Sweden and Denmark about those three crowns (symbolises Sweden as a part of Denmark since the Kalmar union). Gustav Vasa was malding about it in the 16th century.

Note that they removed the Norwegian lion 200 years ago when it became part of Sweden, but kept the Swedish crowns for some reason.

My mum is just a bit lib brained in some ways (nuclear power and drug policy mainly). She is on the phone but she is usually just reading newspapers, fairly lib ones. The only thing she does on Facebook is congratulate family members on their birthdays etc. I am able to influence her as I keep being right about stuff before the news are willing to admit it (stuff like Russia bombing their own pipeline being ridiculous).

My older brother is just a lib, but whatever. He has an incredibly low risk of being radicalised.

My younger brother has had mental breakdowns and believes he is being gangstalked and is generally conspiracy brained, but that doesn’t have much to do with the internet.

Dad is dead, but he was just a prick. Not the online kind.

I only encounter the deep end conspiracy theorists at work, where I’ve had my kind of superior tell me in hushed tones that Obama is going to start a civil war a couple of weeks ago to stop Trump being inaugurated (note that he is Swedish).

First proper memory is from when I was 3 and had to forever relinquish my pacifier in a large plastic tube in a Christmas theme park in the middle of summer.

Was a great injustice, but then I got to go to a dinosaur theme park, so all was good again.

Otherwise I just remember vague snippets like being very scared of a sheep.

The ship did damage a pipeline and a fibre optic cable by dragging their anchor for no reason in the middle of the sea. Most of the investigation is against the company and the ship in particular, not China as a whole. They need to look over their routines if nothing else.

It isn’t like nothing has happened, and China has been cooperating with the investigation.

That is just Wakka with more clothing.

I’d be tempted to try and kill Alexander or Genghis Khan just to see what would change.

I find it interesting how the metropol are increasingly falling back to mercantilist thought.

Cleaning them is a lot less important with the new generations of solar panels, but if they wanted to they could always use a hose or a brush or whatever. I’ve managed a couple of smaller solar farms where they don’t get touched at all unless you need to pick off a dead seagull or something and the yield is pretty constant.

Most of the sand and dust will also be blown away by the wind.
