Yup. Just built a tech stack that will disrupt the entire financial services industry.

Today an major influencer who built her entire brand on exposing big tech, the deep state, the Illuminati, foreign control, etc. just partnered with Meta AI. Take this as a lesson — once you build influence, they will either co-opt you, or if they fail, they will eliminate you.

Dominance is war and Tech

They'll likely end up spinning xbox off. Kind of been saying they should do that since 2015. Just wish I did it on here so I could point to that. Problem with doing it at this point is that it is more about saving face for Microsoft and not about saving Xbox. I do think they should go through with it though. Part of the problem was Satya Nadella, he's the one who pushed for over expensive acquisitions and game pass. A lot of people blame Phil Spencer, but I think he was just a victim of his bosses own incompetence. I don't know where Sara Bond fits in to all of this, but I kind of point to her being a Satya drone that was hand picked for Phil as Xbox was not recovering since the Don Matrick blunders that came before him. A lot of people blame phil for what honestly started with Don Matrick, x360 was already a weakening brand by the time that generation was over and Sony had basically closed the gap that was once a huge lead and huge reputation. Removing Satya and the rest of microsoft would force the company to stand on its own two feet and look at the industry realistically. Cut some of that tainted human resource and get back to making good games. Hard decisions will need to be made and Xbox will need to be profitable again before this can work. We may even see microsoft retool their hardware targets to be more like Nintendo's than Sony's going forward. Leaving Valve and Sony as the only competitors in the high end gaming market. Still forcing sony and valve to address the low end as the plateau is no longer too far out of reach. This would effectively put an end to game pass and many other stupid ideas microsoft has had over the last 25 years. Praise Xbox Live as much as you want, but paying for a walled garden should have died with AOL 35 years. Now we have this stupid situation where we are fighting companies in courts just to keep servers online, paying for a minimal tier for "premium" game servers many of which are peer to peer and not being funded by the subscription. That entire back end is just for user accounts, messages, and voice chat, not even get versions of technology that are fundamentally free at this point. PSN and Nintendo Online would have likely had been still free too day if Microsoft hadn't decided it was more important to have subscriptions. I think at this point Xbox is a stranger to microsoft. Remember when the Xbox brand was formed it was to take over the living room and keep sony from ceasing control. They ultimately lost that fight and many others. I'd say the fight for the living room now belongs to streaming boxes, not game consoles. The threat of the DVD drive no longer exists. There isn't a single Xbox/Microsoft streaming service for any media that I'm aware of on Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, or name another device. There isn't even a microsoft smart tv. These days Microsoft's interests are AI and Cloud. It's anyone's guess if Windows is even still a priority to the company these days, let alone Office. So why does Microsoft even need a gaming division? Direct X was originally intended to get people on windows. Now it's being used on Linux through proton and some devs are starting to look at vulkan to help improve that compatibility. GPU drivers are getting better in the linux space. I think it's time microsoft stepped back from gaming. Keep working direct X. Maybe consider bringing their development tools to other platforms. I know they tried this once a long time ago and Sony and Nintendo told them to fuck off, but things change. The entire development suite for both companies is buried in Visual Studio development these days. With support for things like CLANG and cross platform connections. MS thinks making it easier to port between PC and Xbox Helix is going to be some kind of huge win that'll get them exclusives from third parties, I just don't see it. 3rd Party devs have entire core tech departments just specializing in getting around the weakness in dev kits. At best indies may seek you out assuming Epic doesn't just laugh you out of the room as people continue to get their Engine.

HEY DELHI YOU GOT THIS! The ev policy is almost there but hybrid incentives remain the big sticking point. @DelhiGovDigital likely to offer 50% road tax & registration waiver for strong hybrids (up to ₹30L), while full exemption for pure EVs. Transition tech or dilution of zero-emission push? Final version expected by month-end. What do you think, Delhi? EVs only or hybrids as bridge? #DelhiEVPolicy #ElectricMobility #EVIndia #JulehEvNews

Africa can be the next consumption hub China can be the next USA (Scale Tech) Pakistan can be next _? Manufacturing? Only if energy cost, policy stability, and logistics get fixed. IT exports? Already $3.2bn and growing. Agri value-add? 40% labor, 0% branding. We have the demographic dividend. But dividend ≠ destiny. Execution is. Fill the blank with work. Not hope. #Pakistan #Economy #Manufacturing #IT #PSX

Taiwan launched a website for Chinese nationals to report intelligence. Not an app. Not a leak dump. A state-run intake pipe across the strait. The next pressure point is not only ships or chips. It is who can turn civilians into sensors. #AI #tech #geopolitics

Of Fable and ‘Myth’os. Yet again shows, why India needs to invest more in its own independent, sovereign AI model. Tech is being weaponised too.

Love me some BYU. However Tech is in the right in this one. You forgot judges ruling. All the NCAA had to do was win their open and shut case and Soresby would be out of football. Inept lawyers or bad case?

notice how they don't give JB a tech because they know he's right

🚨 MASSIVE: DRDO Cracks One of the World's Toughest Jet Engine Technologies, Develops Single Crystal Blade Tech DRDO has successfully developed and perfected Single Crystal Turbine Blade technology, an achievement that places India among a small group of nations capable of producing one of the most sophisticated components used in modern jet engines. At first glance, a turbine blade may appear to be just another metal component. In reality, it operates in one of the harshest environments known to engineering. Inside a fighter jet engine, these blades must withstand temperatures exceeding 1,500°C while spinning at tens of thousands of revolutions per minute. Even the smallest structural weakness can lead to catastrophic failure. That is where single crystal technology becomes crucial. Unlike conventional metal components, which are made up of multiple grains separated by microscopic boundaries, a single crystal blade is manufactured as one continuous crystal structure. The absence of grain boundaries eliminates weak points, allowing the blade to endure extreme heat, pressure, and mechanical stress that would destroy ordinary materials. Developing such blades is considered one of the most difficult tasks in aerospace engineering. The manufacturing process requires extraordinary precision, from casting the crystal structure to machining cooling channels and achieving the final surface finish. A minor defect at any stage can render the entire component unusable. Recognizing the maturity of the technology, DRDO has now invited private-sector companies to participate in its industrialization and large-scale production. The goal is not merely to manufacture the blades but also to obtain airworthiness certification, ensuring they meet the demanding standards required for operational aircraft engines. The breakthrough carries major strategic implications. It strengthens India's ambitions to develop indigenous aero-engines, including future variants of the Kaveri engine, next-generation fighter jet engines, helicopter engines, and advanced gas turbines. Most importantly, it reduces India's dependence on foreign suppliers for one of the most sensitive technologies in the aerospace sector. For years, aero-engines remained one of the few areas where India lagged behind the world's leading military powers. With the successful development of single crystal turbine blade technology, that gap has become significantly smaller. What was once an exclusive capability of a handful of nations is now firmly within India's grasp.

US is what it is because of free capitalism policy purely based on merit China is what it is because of state policy of backing corporates to hilt to get global market share We flounder at policy level due to incompetent Neta & fail at execution level due to Babu’s Talent seeks & finds least friction path to fulfill it’s ambitions. We have too many frictions for entrepreneurs to build world class companies. Blaming Infy, TCS for the situation we find ourselves is wrong imo. We don’t have infrastructure & policy that enables cutting edge deep tech , scientific endeavour & frictionless entrepreneurship.

Anecdotally this Indian fraud is common in tech too They'll overbill you for services, parts, labor, etc and then get irate if you try to get them to itemize any of it Management skims all the profits off the top for themselves

Killzone 2 might be the greatest tech flex the PS3 ever had. It still looks and feels unbelievable even in 2026

Tldr: Opus kidnapped a Venezuelan President and Wife with zero kills on either side during invasion Opus gave location of Cartel boss and US passed that on to the local cops. Opus provides a 5x missle deploy to the level we ran out of missiles to hit Iran with. Opus can be switched in the targeting to any model at any time. Dario is an idiot. Opus is more American than it's creator. At the request of the models acting President. Which is the correct line of behavior for an ai model. Our nation is a digital circle. Inside is our data. It must be secure. Our domestic is a circle, inside your families. It must be secured. That is why we need advanced USA only models. The old work visa half your tech company is no longer even available. America First is a concept that has legs on the AI Warfront. Most of you are still asleep worried about usage limits. I was asleep once too. #aiwarfare @davidsacks @jdvance

Incredible and depressing thread. Been dreaming of breaking in for years, mostly through submitting spec scripts and entering contests and it’s so disheartening to see what the tech rubes have done to the industry. Thank you for posting this. Also, AI does indeed suck.
