The Grubby Fingerprints They Won't Talk About
The fourth and final installment of my analysis of the Never Trump movement and what its effect was and may be in the future. It is both welcome, but not as beneficial as they seem to think.

AI seems to be stumbling, OpenAI and Palantir bookend chaos
OpenAI abandons their hail marys, trying to go legit (ha), and Palantir is being aided by the president, totally normal, amirite?

Where did all the fun in tech go?
