Why is #Trump even involved in the negotiations between #Ukraine and #Russia?

The US under Trump is not an allied of Ukraine, at best a """neutral""" third party war-profiteering off selling weapons to Ukraine and its allies (though really closer to an allied of #Putin).

Negotiations should be between #Zelensky and Putin, and since Putin gets a muppet for support, perhaps the EU and UK should be there to support Zelensky – if he wants it – for balance.

When Trump finally dies, his only surviving achievement will be the invention of a Razzie for the Nobel Peace Prize. Unless, of course, the "Hero of the Russian Federation" will do.

#AI is changing everything about how we live and work. Just like #blockchain and the #metaverse did.

How are #AI and the #metaverse so intricately intertwined?

Facebook bet their entire company on long-shot technology "metaverse" and burned up billions of buckazoids on a barely-working – albeit interesting – technology there was no real market for.

If it turns out that was a mistake because nobody talks about the metaverse anymore even if it was super hot less than half a decade ago, it might not be prudent to YOLO billions of dead presidents into long-shot LLMs/AI, a barely-working – albeit interesting – technology there it no real market for.

Note my usage of n-dashes rather than hyphens, minuses, or m-dashes to virtue signal that not only am I not an AI, I am a man of taste and sophistication because I know the difference between virtually identical horizontal lines.

Business advice: #Facebook/#Meta should rebrand.

Since their business model of being #MySpace 2.0 failed when the rest of the world was up to 5.0 or 6.0, Facebook bet the entire company on a moon shot, being #SecondLife 2.0, or the "Metaverse," going as far as naming the company after roughly the first half of the name.

Now, they're instead betting on being #Eliza 2.0 or "artificial intelligence," so I propose they use their old naming scheme and rebrand to "artificial." Should also work great with their CEO.
