If S&P change their rules, I am going to sell my index funds, taxes be damned.

Sadly, this is not the only trash that is going to be hoisted on us retirement investors. OpenAI is waiting in the wings as well.

I am sure I am not the only one. That doesn't seem like it will be good for the market.

Should write a MIT case study on that in "Bad Hypotheses 101"

I hate that I will have to invest in this crap with my retirement index funds

Not sure why you are being downvoted. This is exactly what is happening and why OpenAI is trying to IPO to dump their garbage as well.

We really are trying our best to make Terminator reality aren't we?

... Enterprise Edition

Really? I use Github Copilot. It is great actually, and I actually prefer it to Claude (loosely held opinion tho).

They do own some vertically integrated products like PeopleSoft that use these lower level foundational pieces. But I agree, I don't know why anyone in their right mind would use Oracle outside of golf and sailing bribes.

If you haven't watched No Other Land, you should: https://www.npr.org/2025/01/31/nx-s1-5279398/oscar-documenta...

Is it just in 1.82.8 or are previous versions impacted?

How is this industry still an industry?

I have a little bit of sympathy for Github because if everyone is like me then they are getting 5-6x the demand they were last year just based on sheer commits alone, not to mention Github Copilot usage.

The important thing to always realize is that Trump optimizes for one thing only: himself. Everyone else doesn't matter.

You mean Trump did what Putin wanted

We also have some the cheapest, because solar covers my 90% of my usage for the whole year.

We are a net exporter but all Americans still exist in the same market where oil is $100+ and very few benefit from that.

Sorry, copy and paste error. I copied the public debt number for 2026 instead of the total debt number. Fixed.

Trump has added $4T to the debt in one year:

From https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/debt-to-the-penny/d...

3/19/2025 $36,214,467,819,348.16. --> 3/17/2026 $39,016,762,910,245.14

Yet strangely all Republicans are silent

The wind is actually blowing towards EVs.

China: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/electric-vehicle-sales-i... Europe: https://eleport.com/ev-sales-in-europe/ USA: https://www.statista.com/outlook/mmo/electric-vehicles/unite...

We have blocked Chinese EVs precisely because they are 1) super cheap and 2) would wipe out our automakers.

The dude is a moron: to think there was any thought behind this is to be insane.

$30 per kill approval

I mean people voted for Trump so I'd bet there are people falling for this too

The real question we should be asking is what others HAVE agreed to. Has OpenAI just agreed to let the government go crazy with their models?

Remember that once that happens the next year somoene will propose a 100% tax on wealth above $1M.

Then $100k.

And then you live in Cuba.

This is the way. You can't claim you were ignoring the Nazis in the bar while sipping a Aperol Spritz -- you were supporting a Nazi bar.

And the other part of the future is that we are all going to become "editors" (in the publishing sense) instead of "writers"

Anyone want to wade in and claim CodeSense made us worse developers too?

I am using AI to learn EVERYTHING. Spanish, code, everything. Honestly, the largest acceleration I am getting is in research towards design docs (which then get used for implementation).

I don't want to say OpenAI is toast for general chat AI, but it sure looks like they are toast.
