My mom *loves* telling the story about how she got pizza from wolfgang puck when we were on layover at LAX when i was a kid, and I wouldn't eat it and got mcdonalds instead. What she leaves out is she got a goat cheese and mushroom pizza her work friend also wouldn't eat (who do you think paid for my mcdonalds lmao, I was 8). Either way, I've gotten paid back tenfold by having a best friend and cousins who are picky fuckin fast food lovers whove I've gone on a lot of trips with.

Damn I thought it was $13 billion last 6 months this is even worse. Tbh after trying a few different queries Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 4.5 sonnet are at least marginally superior if not more so. Surely Google is going to come out as the victor on this 'AI' arms race, albeit I still don't know what that means since I just can't see much of a mainstream use case that'll actually have people pay. It's not a great sign when Altman basically sees Grok lax moderation and thinks actually yeah..err... we'll let you talk dirty and do porn! I'm pretty sure the trillions going into this aren't for that... I also think it surely won't happen if it's IPO is imminent as many investors wouldn't want the association.

And where do the local businesses import ingredients from? Usually third world countries with very lax labor laws. Which is also why the tariffs hurt “local” American owned businesses so much.
