“…instead they will do it by making some tech execs part-time lieutenant colonels in the Army Reserve while retaining their current full-time jobs. Welcome your newest recruits: Andrew Bosworth, CTO of Meta; Shyam Sankar, CTO Palantir; Kevin Weil, CPO of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, OpenAI’s former research chief and current advisor to Thinking Machines Lab.”

I certainly wouldn’t want these four with me in a foxhole.

This guy was from Chinese immigrant parents. The two things trump hates the most and he is working for him. You can’t make this up.

Cape looks dope. Anyone have experience with their service?

The article claims that 1 trillion dollars was lost to scams in 2024 “based on research from GASA.org”. I cannot for the life of me figure out where this number comes from. Going to that website they say it’s based on ~58,000 surveys. I think they took the survey results, took the average amount of money the surveys claimed people lost and multiplied it by the total population of Earth or some nonsense shit. Their reports are blocked behind registration, which I’m not willing to do to find out their report is bullshit. Misinformation at its finest right here.

The numbers on this chart are nonsense.

A very quick internet search shows that approximately 10 million indigenous people existed in the United States prior to European involvement (https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/native-american-population). How did 50 million die?

The estimated number of African Americans who died from the slave trade is estimated between 1 and 2 million (https://www.clrn.org/how-many-slaves-died-in-american-history/).

The Indonesian civil war casualties are estimated just over 100,000. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_National_Revolution). And the United States wasn’t even involved in that one.

And those are just the three I checked. My guess is every single number on this chart is wrong. I agree that capitalism sucks and has killed lots of people, but pushing nonsense doesn’t help anything. You could put the real numbers on there and still get the point across.

They can, but you are 7.5 times more likely to be murdered by a man.
