Whatever it turns out to be, it won't be worth $6.5 billion.

Trump doesn’t have legal authority to levy tariffs. The emergency power statute that he’s citing is for sanctions only. No mention of of tariff or taxation power in the language so it fails the Supreme Court’s Major Questions Doctrine.

Novel way to fleece your own company out of billions of dollars.

Video game consoles: 30% commission on sales in 1st party digital store + no 3rd party digital stores + 30% commission on discs sold in 3rd party retail. That business model has never been ruled to have supracompetitive rates by a U.S. court and it …

The dirty little secret of AI: the LLM program isn’t nearly as important as the database that the LLM is “trained” on. That’s the reason that the Trump administration fired the head librarian for the Library of Congress. That position also has contr…

Stabitha_Christie said: He and Musk were going to cut 2 trillion from the federal budget. DOGE has saved 170 billion but it spent 135 billion to do it. So 2 trillion actually turned out to be 35 billion. It's even worse than that. The DOGE f…

Video game console manufacturers charge 30% commission for games sold in their 1st party digital stores, don't allow 3rd party digital stores and also collect 30% commission on physical units sold in 3rd party retail stores. So there is a precedent …

LOL...the current 1000 V-Bucks price in-game is $8.99. Epic raised the price on their customers during the court battle.

LLM programs are relatively easy to develop. That's why there are so many different companies that offer their own LLM programs. It's really the training model that's important. The LLM is worthless without it. And the training model is mainly a eup…
