WE PAID THE ILLEGAL #tariffs but the #corporations get the money back🤔 THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU’RE IGNORANT AND CONTINUE TO #vote AGAINST YOUR OWN GOOD!!

The new trend of “quiet hiring” is just companies admitting they want two jobs for one salary but with a cute name.

AMD Announces Plan to Acquire Intel in Unprecedented Industry Turn   Advanced Micro Devices has revealed plans to acquire long-time rival Intel Corporation, marking a dramatic reversal in one of the most enduring rivalries in the semiconductor industry. The proposed transaction, structured entirely as a stock-based deal, signals a major shift in industry power. Once viewed as the underdog, AMD has now surpassed Intel in market valuation, and the acquisition would further cement that transition. For over four decades, the relationship between the two companies has been defined by competition, imitation, legal disputes, and strategic overlap. AMD historically operated in Intel’s shadow, often positioning itself as a secondary supplier while attempting to challenge its dominance. In recent years, however, AMD has strengthened its position across multiple computing segments and improved investor confidence, while Intel has faced setbacks. Intel’s struggles have included delays in manufacturing advancements, inconsistent product execution, and repeated strategic adjustments. These challenges have contributed to a broader shift in market perception, allowing AMD to close the gap and eventually move ahead in key areas. The idea of AMD acquiring Intel would have seemed highly unlikely just a few years ago, given Intel’s long-standing dominance as the central force in the personal computing ecosystem. The potential merger now reflects how drastically that balance has changed. If completed, integrating the two companies could present organizational and cultural challenges, given their long history as direct competitors. Leadership from AMD indicated that the combined entity could accelerate product development timelines, streamline user experience, and maintain a level of internal competition despite operating under one structure. In its response, Intel stated that the agreement could enhance shareholder value while providing its engineering teams with clearer direction and stronger operational support to rebuild competitive product offerings. Industry analysts are still assessing the broader implications. Historically, Intel’s scale and manufacturing capabilities positioned it at the center of the computing market, while AMD functioned as a challenger that introduced competitive pressure. That dynamic has shifted as AMD expanded its presence in servers, desktops, and mobile computing, while Intel’s recovery efforts remain ongoing. Several practical questions remain unresolved. These include how branding will be handled, whether both product lines will continue independently, and how regulators will evaluate the consolidation of two primary x86 architecture competitors under a single entity. Sources familiar with the matter suggest AMD may adopt a structure that retains both brands in the near term. One internal concept reportedly frames Intel as a legacy-focused division, reflecting its historical significance while redefining its position within the organization. Investor reaction has ranged from surprise to cautious optimism. Some market participants see the potential for operational efficiency and reduced rivalry, while others are concerned that combining the two companies could limit competition in the x86 processor market. From a regulatory perspective, the deal is likely to face scrutiny due to the potential concentration of market power. The long-standing competition between AMD and Intel has historically driven innovation and pricing balance, and its reduction could reshape industry dynamics. The announcement comes at a time when the semiconductor sector is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by demand for artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and evolving global supply chains. Both companies have been investing heavily in these areas, alongside competitors such as NVIDIA Corporation. At present, the timeline for completion remains subject to regulatory approvals and further review. While the companies have indicated confidence in moving forward, the scale and implications of the deal mean that its outcome will be closely watched across the industry.

What is resoundingly evident now is that #corporations will do whatever they can get away with, because they fund the very politicians who would regulate them.

The Diary Of A CEO on TikTok The people building AI say it could destroy humanity… so why are they still racing to build it? To help answer that, I’m joined by Karen Hao. She’s someone who’s spent years speaking to the people at the centre of this race, conducting over 300 interviews, including insiders at OpenAI to understand what’s really going on. Karen is a journalist who has been covering artificial intelligence for years, looking closely at how these systems are built and what’s really driving them. As we get into this conversation, what becomes clear is how much of the story we hear about AI is controlled by a small number of people - and how difficult it is to separate what’s being said publicly from what’s actually happening behind the scenes. So, I asked Karen: - Who is actually making the key decisions inside AI companies? - Why are companies accelerating development despite the risks? - What do insiders say privately that they don’t say publicly? - How much transparency is there around how these systems are built? - What incentives are really driving this race forward? There are moments in this conversation where I’m trying to understand how much of this is about progress, and how much of it is about power. The more we unpack it, the more it feels like this isn’t just a technology story. It’s about who gets to shape the future, and how those decisions are being made. If you want a clearer view of what’s actually happening inside the AI industry and who is driving it forward, this episode is worth your time. #podcast #ai #artificialintelligence #business

#Oligarchs #Corporations are creating empires where they will be the government. They pretty much control our governments, the economy, politics, now!

“…proposed #Montana ballot measure that’s gaining steam—doesn’t overturn #CitizensUnited. It goes around it. States grant corporate charters & decide the powers those charters include. It would simply remove “spending in #elections” from those powers, killing #DarkMoney at the source.”

Every State must get money out of politics. #Corporations are not people! How the fuk did the American people buy that BS. Republicans are traitors! Vote them all out. 😊💙
