Why does a grown adult trust anything but the official website of the government of Chile? This isn’t even an AI issue. Would you trust visa advice from a third-party? Any non-official source?

Just another billionaire mediocrity that lucked in to inherited wealth who has been elevated to an 11th dimensional chess player.

A follow up report published on March twenty sixth shed more light on the situation and revealed that Microsoft has actually pulled over two gigawatts of capacity across the US and Europe. That’s the equivalent capacity of London and Tokyo combined.
