Lately I have seem some Reddit posts with bullet points. I know it's a Power Point cliche, but that style almost never showed up on Reddit until about a year ago. I think a lot of those posts are AI-generated. For a while I worked on d

So why is the headquarters in Charlotte, genius? A lot of things can happen between 1928 and 1999. NationsBank also "took the Bank of America name".

Maybe there will be models-as-a-service, MaaS as well. Pay extra for no ads. Like Proton Mail vs Gmail.

It has been in use for at least a decade, since the Obama administration if not earlier. We have soldiers, sailors, airman/women, Marines (who really do not like being called soldiers), Coast Guardsman/women, and now the Space For

When he was alive a lot of people said Epstein was really smart. But I have read some of his emails, and all of the ones I have seen are full of spelling, punctuation, grammar and capitalization errors. I would not gotten out of sixth grade

Son made most of his money with Alibaba. I think he made 500x or 1,000x his original investment. Absolutely crazy. Almost everything he has done since then has lost money. When I read that he is investing in something, I just assume it will
