  • The current rules are just a complete and utter disaster. Instead of leaving a car’s width, it’s the car ahead at the apex that gets the corner.

    The main problem is that there is no clear idea where exactly the apex is, and which line to draw from that apex. And then you get different rulings for similar actions. See for example Piastri, who got 5 seconds for forcing Gasly off track.

    I hate the whole situation. The only way to overtake Verstappen is to not be near him, because he understands the rules best and uses them to his advantage. It’s been like this for years and it’s toxic for good racing.






  • Microsoft jumped fully on the AI hype bandwagon with their partnership in OpenAI and their strategy of forcing GenAI down our throats. Instead of realizing that GenAI is not much more than a novel parlor trick that can’t really solve problems, they are now fully committing.

    Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI, and reactivating 3 Mile Island is estimated at $1.6 billion. And any return on these investments are not guaranteed. Generally, GenAI is failing to live up to its promises and there is hardly any GenAI use case that actually makes money.

    This actually has the potential of greatly damaging Microsoft, so I wouldn’t say all their decisions are financially rational and sound.
