Tldr; ASML bought 11% of the shares, which makes them the biggest owner and gets them a seat on the board.


@tfm Just saw there's a Mistral add-on for Box (the cloud service). They're really getting mainstream.

€1.7B worth of barf is a lot of barf.


Barf. A bunch of marketing-speak saying virtually nothing except that they’re going to use AI to make money, touting AI as the answer to a problem nobody has, in order to bilk naive investors that this time, it’s not just snake oil.

It’s all gonna work out eventually! /s

Are you sticking your head in the sand or what ?

The survey reveals that student AI usage is both widespread and accelerating, with 90% of students reporting using AI for academic purposes and nearly 1 in 3 (29%) using it daily. AI adoption continues to rise, with 73% reporting an increase in usage since last year

This is just 1 area where AI has a foothold, let alone coding, video generation, text and writing, research etc

Do you have anything better than an ad hominem?

Cool story, bro. Use ≠ usefulness. Just because people are using it does not mean it’s beneficial.

I use it every day, it’s beneficial, I get work done faster because of it and save time looking up stuff

That’s great for you. Your personal experiences, however, do not reflect what the overall data is showing and continues to show.

I have no idea what you’re saying

First you said it was snake oil

Now that you have evidence it’s not snake oil you’ve not pivoted to something about health benefits?







Wasn’t this a few weeks ago?

Still curious to see where this goes

probably to the cloud
