So, Peter Thiel has sold off all stock in NVidia. Following SoftBank’s complete NVidia stock sell-off. Well done. The self-fulfilling prophecy is now underway, and the AI-collapse is about to begin. All it’ll take it one more market wobble.
Freedom from ads is the best gift you can give yourself this Christmas
This morning I saw a post on LinkedIn, linking to this story on TheGuardian.com about John Lewis’s new Christmas ad. In terms of retail in Britain, John Lewis is something of a national treasure. Sadly, Google’s approach to ad-blocking in YouTube has come to bear: I am unable to watch this advert unless I disable ad-blocking on my browser.
Google disrespects my freedom to choose what content I see in my own browser. In fact, it attempts to deny me it.
Despite having had a Google account for many years, I can see this relationship coming to an end. Big Tech abuses its users in order to stay profitable… and there’s a word for that.

Hackers claim to have stolen pictures, names and addresses of children in nursery firm cyber attack | UK News | Sky News
Online criminals are demanding a ransom from the Kido chain of nurseries after posting images of children on the dark web. Police said officers were investigating.
Going after images and address information of children is beneath contempt. So is hosting it irresponsibly. Equal shame on Kido and the hackers that exploited their lax security.
