Pretty easy to look her up before spreading conspiracy theories.

Here's an article from Le Monde with a similar picture of her:

The bubble has been going on this entire year and more. The difference is that now the people that created the bubble are beginning to recognize that there may be a slight problem with profitability.
Even Sam Altman is recognizing that profitability is a bigger problem than he originally thought.
I think investments could already be slowing down, but of cause this is also a pissing contest among the richest people in the world.
And they may think the one that can stay the course will be the ultimate winner.
So I'm not sure this race is decided based on reason, because billionaires tend to be megalomaniacs.
So you may need to buy a new battery for your old phone if you want to avoid the high RAM prices. 😋
Those RAM prices will drop like a rock soon. When AI investments are shown to not yield returns on investment, the investments will plummet, and at that time RAM production will be higher than ever.
So if you can, hold out a few months on buying anything where RAM is a factor.
Apparently not, because many people buy glass back phones that are both thicker and heavier than a good synthetic, Then they add a cover to protect the back, making the phone even bulkier.
The smartphone market is goddam moronic in some aspects IMO. It all started when idiotic reviewers claimed the Galaxy S2 that was superior to the iPhone at the time, didn't have the same "premium" feel of the iPhone. In part because it was lighter!!!
Also the Galaxy was way way more durable, the iPhone cracked if you looked at it wrong. So there is no doubt which phone was made from the better materials as in the more functional ones.
But after that "premium" phones were basically all glass despite all the downsides, like adding thickness and weight, and being way less durable, and also glass being more slippery so risk of dropping it is increased too. Unless of course you use a cover, which then again makes the glass back utterly pointless.
There is simply no way glass is a suitable material for the back of a phone. Except moronic reviewers continue to claim so, and phone makers keep making high end phones almost exclusively with glass back.
Cool, a large capacity battery is nice for many things, like taking pictures or recording movies or gaming, or even just to have some buffer if you suddenly discover it only has 20% left.
And finally a bigger battery last longer, because it requires fewer full recharge equivalents. So if the expected lifespan of a 5000 mAh battery is 5 years, the 7000 mAh can last 7 years!!
The cries for bigger batteries on regular phones have been very loud for a while.
Yes, and it's absolutely ridiculous it didn't improve faster since battery technologies and prices have improved a lot the past years.
Next, bring back all the ports we used to have
Absolutely, I'm frigging using my 6 year old Moto for video/audio-books, because it has the 3½" Jack, and the new one doesn't.
Hell, what does almost everyone do with these premium glass phones? Put a synthetic cover in it so you can grip it and give it some drop protection.
Exactly, glass backs are a bad joke.
Goddam the number of times I was downvoted for complaining that premium phones only had 5000 mAh, when I needed to replace my old Motorola P9 Power that had 6000 mAh.
With comments on how it would make the phones bigger and heavier, when there clearly were improved battery technologies available that could avoid that.
Obviously a premium phone can have better batteries than a 3 year old (at the time) cheap ass $250 phone.
At least many increased battery capacities a bit last generation, but today 7000-8000 mAh should be easy, without adding bulk or weight compared to phones 2 years ago.
Also the complaint is weird when people are OK with the extra bulk and weight from using glass back cover, on top of making the phone more fragile compared to a nice synthetic.
Anyways thanks to Xiaomi for breaking the trend of non development on battery capacities for real. 👍
Except not literally, then you kill them for adultery.
The popularity of Nigel Farage is a bad omen. For sure there is a lot of xenophobia and exceptionalism in UK. Not too far from what we saw made fascism grow out of control in USA. But you are right, it is not nearly the insanity we see in USA. At least not yet.
But UK suffer the same democratic disease USA does, with a very flawed democracy.
He basically just said it looks a lot like the picture could be made by an AI. Which is completely irrelevant since it clearly isn't, something you could find out in five seconds by looking her up.
