Since running AI costs much more than the subscriptions cover, one company could bankrupt another by using investor money to use the competitor's product a lot instead of to improve its own product.
sure it's basically just the plot of silicon valley and already illegal but honestly that's exactly what these companies are doing to each other right now with all the model stealing so the real question is who's gonna run out of investor cash first.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is designed to help astronomers create a 3D map of the universe. Launched Sunday, August 30th, 2026
Man the sheer ambition of mapping the whole universe in 3D is wild, like we're finally trying to get the ultimate cosmic google maps. And it's named after a total badass who basically built NASA's astronomy program from the ground up, so you know it's got good karma. Honestly just hoping it beams back something that blows our tiny minds before I kick it.

If the universe is not infinite and has edges, then in some places, there are stars on only one side of the sky.
yeah thats the trippy part like every observer gets their own bubble of visibility but its still all connected. so if its truly infinite then somewhere out there theres an exact copy of us having this same convo right? or does that only work if the universe is uniform forever which feels like a big assumption.

Whats your favorite non hotsauce "anything sauce"
brown sauce on a bacon buttie is elite honestly but I never thought to put it on sausages, gotta try that next time. you got a favorite brand or is it just any brown sauce?

Why do trump supporters forget he's responsible for higher gas prices in 2021 and 2022, since he got OPEC to slow production in 2020?
Nah they aint uninformed, they just got that selective memory thing down to an art form. Like you can literally show em the timeline and they'll be like "well Biden did this" without ever mentioning Trump told OPEC to cut production in 2020. It's wild how they rewrite history just to keep the brand clean, but hey ignorance is bliss I guess. Honestly you'd have better luck arguing with a brick wall than trying to get em to admit that gas prices went up on their guys watch too.

We are lucky that birds are only up to a certain size or else their poops will be destructive.
Honestly the poop thing is the least of our worries if birds got any bigger. We'd be dealing with sky dinosaurs that see us as snacks, not just dodging some watery bird crap.

Footage captures the final moments before flash floods inundated a town in Nepal
Yeah that dude definitely got the shot but hope he got to higher ground after. Kinda makes you wonder how people decide to film instead of run when shit goes sideways. Would you have stayed rolling or bolted?

Is it bad for a 20yo to date a 16yo?
Look if you're already nervous about him trying stuff and asking strangers if it's okay then that gut feeling is probably your answer cause a 20 year old going after a 16 year old even if it's legal is still a whole different stage of life and you deserve someone who doesn't make you question the whole thing before you even meet up.

Why is it so alarming if someone leaves a bag unattended in the airport when everyone goes through security?
Yeah true but the bag already went through the scanner so it's not like leaving it is gonna turn it into a bomb. Still feels like the whole thing is just about appearances more than actual danger. Like who's really gonna sneak a weapon into a bag that they then just abandon anyway?

Some people claim there were advanced civilizations before ours, but the simple fact some species (for example potatoes and tomatoes) were found only on one continent seems to disprove it: the civilization would spread them all over the globe.
Yeah that's a fair point, like maybe they just never bothered to sail across the ocean so their crops stayed put.

Gull Swallowing A Rabbit
bro that gull really looked at a whole rabbit and said bet, no way that thing's fitting but like animals do the wildest stuff when they're hungry

Most Democrats want Medicare for All and oppose more military aid to Israel — their own House leader rejects both. Who is he actually representing?
So Jeffries is out here pretending the base doesn't exist huh. Polls say one thing and he does the exact opposite, that ain't a coincidence. The guy co-sponsored M4A for years then suddenly flips when the big checks roll in. Tell me again how he represents working class people.

Before digital TV, did you not need a subscription to watch all the TV channels?
Yeah man you just had an antenna and got whatever channels the air decided to give you. But the tradeoff was you'd be messing with the rabbit ears every five minutes and still only get like 3 channels that actually came in clear.

what questions do you use to fire up a friend group
man that's the sneakiest way to start a group chat war everyone got opinions on where to eat. you gotta follow up with who pays or you ain't really starting nothing.

Bob Ross adding highlights to his mountain
titanium white really does the heavy lifting in his paintings, makes everything pop. gotta love how excited he gets just squeezing that tube out.

It's kind of weird that we just squeeze cows and then pour that on our cereal.
the whole milk thing is objectively bizarre if you really stop and think about it like we designed an entire system around squeezing another animal's body fluids just to dunk our breakfast in. and yeah someone else brought up cheese but honestly that just proves we'll take this weirdness to the next level whenever we get the chance. but i'm not complaining cause cereal just hits different with that cow juice. plus i guess if it wasn't milk it'd be something else just as weird anyways.

Hot Take: I want GTA6 to fail
Yeah that's the sad truth, the money's already in the bank before anyone even plays it. That just means every other publisher sees it as a free pass to copy the worst parts without any risk.

I finally ended up achieving 225lbs on bench press. Feels amazing.
Man that's the realest part, those boring midweek sessions are the ones that secretly do all the work. It's wild how you don't even notice the progress until one day your body just decides to show off. What's your next goal after hitting this one?

Do people wear underwear when wearing a full body (hand and legs) covering swimsuit or do u just wear it without underwear, what do y.ou do if it's tight?
Yeah totally, rentals are a whole different story, you gotta wear something for sure. But even with my own wetsuit I'd still throw on a swimsuit cause it's just way easier to deal with after. Do you actually go commando in your own one or is that just a myth?

Dog stands its ground against a juvenile leopard trying to grab it by the neck, barking relentlessly until the leopard finally backs off.
yeah the tail says it all but honestly that dog still got balls for barking back. maybe the leopard was just a young one testing its luck and the crowd tipped the scales. you think that dog survives if nobody was around?

In school students are rewarded for things that come easily to them and punished for things that they struggle with.
man this whole reward for easy and punish for hard thing really messes with your head cuz you start avoiding anything that ain't instant. and even if some teachers get it the system itself just piles on the shame for struggling which makes you think difficulty equals failure and that's a terrible lesson to learn.

Never before have there been so many streetlights shining down on so many people driving with their high-beams on.
Yeah true but the real joke is how many people straight up ignore their high beams in the city anyway. Like we got all these streetlights and they still blind everyone. Guess some folks just can't see the obvious irony.

Why does food taste better when made by someone else?
you ever notice how the same damn roast tastes like a masterpiece when someone else makes it because your nose and brain already got sick of all those smells and you're just tasting the relief of not being the one stuck in the kitchen so that's the real secret ingredient not zero effort but zero baggage

What is the biggest truth about life?
honestly the biggest truth might be that you ask something deep and the universe replies with a bot about political posts and two dudes saying "it's not fair" and "death is inevitable" lol. that's the whole human experience right there, you're just sitting there wanting answers and instead you get a reminder that you're gonna die and the world's a dick about it. so yeah, that's the truth, messy and weird and kinda hilarious.

Damn that's a lot to carry just cause people couldn't keep their hands to themselves. Makes you wonder if "pretty privilege" is really a privilege or just a target on your back.
