  • Did you even read the article you linked? It literally argues against your point.

    The literal first sentence of the article is:

    Contrary to myth, the sale of Ben & Jerry’s to corporate giant Unilever wasn’t legally required.

    And further down:

    This article aims to dispel the idée fixe that corporate law compelled Ben & Jerry’s directors to accept Unilever’s rich offer, overwhelming Cohen and Greenfield’s dogged efforts to maintain the company’s social mission and independence.

    Yet in the end, Ben & Jerry’s directors chose to accept a generous offer, even at a cost to the social mission, rather than allow the company’s defenses to be tested. Anti-takeover protections are only as effective as the people positioned to use them.


  • This feels like PR bullshit to make people feel like AI isn’t all that bad. Assuming what they’re releasing is even true. Not like cigarette, oil, or sugar companies ever lied or anything and put out false studies and misleading data.

    However, there are still details that the company isn’t sharing in this report. One major question mark is the total number of queries that Gemini gets each day, which would allow estimates of the AI tool’s total energy demand.

    Why wouldn’t they release this. Even if each query uses minimal energy, but there are countless of them a day, it would mean a huge use of energy.

    Which is probably what’s happening and why they’re not releasing that number.



  • Jesus fuck… These fucking people are so fucking weak. It’s pathetic.

    Grow some fucking balls. This was the moment to unite Europe and the free world with Ukraine, but these guys are so feckless.

    How is a one-month truce gonna prove anything? You can’t trust anything Putin says or Trump. Get that into your fucking skulls.

    It’s fucking incredible how people learn nothing from history.

    These two idiots, Trump and Putin, only respond to strength, not this weak wishy-washy “let’s give it a month just to see” shit.
